Recent patrol seems to be a better game than anything you can buy. Zappin vandalism before cluebot or another rcer and bangin up counts is very cool. ICQ is full on afternoons of did ya see that? AIV listed in 30secs. What on earth is this game? The worst thing is that these editors are mentoring/tutoring new editors to slow down.
The current RC game is lame. Flagged rollback will always miss out cross-ip abuse. Abusers never get tagged until they are met with a real time Rcer/s and a great deal of the abuse is to game a GOOGLE bot abuse, cleaned within a minute, but could well be cached for a week.
Oy I don't know how google pick and choose articles to cache. It is a game (wp:beans lol).
Can I mess about with an American icon under a proxy for 3 days? I wouldn't even want to try.

Funny...for completely different reasons, I ran across a block that probably resulted from exactly this "game" - relatively inexperienced user trying to remove "sourced content", warned by 3 different users, blocked by another. The only catch was - the now-blocked editor, as sloppy as his edits were, was actually correct. The information he was removing was being attributed to references that said no such thing. After a few similarly unpleasant encounters, the rarely posting editor flamed out and was indef blocked. Subsequent evidence suggests he was probably the subject of the BLP for which he was blocked.
Speed isn't quite everything.
