Now, don't get me wrong. I absolutely adore the safari game. Since it has started I have come on every day if I can, just so that I can make sure I stay updated on the BBS.

My team, Team 35, the Solstice Trooperz, has done an outstanding job, I believe, this time around on the game. With over 1400 posts right now, we are in the lead, according to Kiki. No, I'm not bragging or anything, I'm just trying to let you all know that our team has worked VERY hard researching and collecting data. But where does this get us? Well, let's see.

Every once in awhile I visit other team's BBS's to see what's up with them and yesterday I noticed one that was just repeating the same threads like 20 times each. I kindly told them that this will not pay off in the end, for it does not matter the quantity of posts, unless it has great quality as well.

Well, today I went back to make sure they read my post and stopped making so many repetitive threads. I clicked on one of their new threads and I saw some data. I was surprised at how much they had put down. UNTIL... I noticed... that it seemed oddly familiar. It had data that was like ours, and, get this, it even had my team's home towns on it. I went back to my BBS and, sure enough, they had copied and pasted one of our posts. They STOLE our data. Now, let me ask you. Is this fair? I truly hope that Kiki Iki Riki from the Tiki Post (LOL, now that's just fun to type!) will notice this on her own. If not, that's my reasoning for sharing this story with y'all today.

What can be done about this? Should there be some basic rules to follow that if broken should lead a team to disqualification? Sometimes people can just go way too far... with only a game.

Thank you,
