This was mentioned over at dFold -- Time to power up, but I think that it deserves its own thread...

So, it appears as if those gamesters over at The Knights Who Say Ni! are at it again. This time, Lawrence has decided to join our team with his 18 million completed structures (temporarily, of course).

There is a thread about it over on their boards. Let's have fun with these knights and let 'em know that they should be watching their backs.

Well I left a little thanks and welcomed Lawerence to come on over and say howdy. Hey at least they know we are friendly sorts. We can party, we just do it with elegance, like our computers.

It's only a matter of time before we ride on past them under our own steam. Can't say I mind them hopping about, but it'll soon be irrelevant. After all you can't push the No.1 spot any higher.

Be nice, they are just having fun like the rest of us. Besides, his units are currently in our ledger.

I have no problem with them parking as many units as they like in our accounts. We will treat them right.

Looks like he's gone again. Short but sweet. Be funny if dFold rules changed so that the team not the individual retained the units. There'd be some rather red-faced knights as a result if they were not parked in KWSN.

Hey gang here is another way to look at it. We could try to get them all to come over. Then while they are here pay Howard to make it where once points have been given to a team they can not be moved to another team.

All these guys are doing is exploiting loopholes in the current system.
They are just having a little fun. If you read some of their forums they are a prettly easy going bunch. One group complained and they apologized and said they would not bother the team again.

Remember they are all DCing for a good cause and having fun while they do it.
Tag ur it.

I'm still waiting from them to become the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm". Lawrence has probably gone off to find a shrubbery.

For those of you unaware what on earth I am going on about, then this link might help.

Poor Lawrence has fallen off the horse again and landed on his head.
As week watch him ride off into the sunset in search of another kingdom where his skills as a knight that says bye. I'm guessing the sun was in the eyes as we watch poor Lawrence ride off the cliff.

To the we bid fairwell.
Tag ur it.

Welcome back Lawrence! I see that you found a bunch of friendly folks over at Team MacNN.

I was reading through their forums and they seem to be a nice bunch!

Ni!
See... they definitely seem like a nice group of DCers. Don't give 'em too much of a hard time for team jumping.
