Are the captains checking with each other every time someone tries to join the PBWiki?

Well, suppose I decide to switch teams, because I see a really good move I need to vote for as a Gangster. When I sign up and vote C<M>E>V, would anyone be suspicious?

The point is that someone is supposed to be suspicious in the "when I sign up" phase, long before you vote.

Wow, how it is possible that you know this move is among our three proposals? But so far this move has only 3 official supporters and 5 gangsters are strongly against.
We are trying hard to discuss pros and cons of each proposal so even our less experienced gangsters could compare the arguments.
We will see if this move wins.
OK, I decided to change passwords on all accounts created by you. This will make spying much more difficult for you.

I always update the list of gangster on 6th page of this thread. We are still 12 (only Simon joined after the game started) ... compared to 2? new mobsters.
gang
mob

I have written out the pros and single con for the 5 less experienced gangsters who are strongly against.
Pros:
Winning after such a move would give ultimate bragging rights in the Arimaaverse.
Would be more challenging, and thus, fun.
Would confuse enemy; this strategy has not before been seen by them.
If it turns out that the pieces were switched and painted over, this would be a good first step to winning.
Con:
Would temporarily sacrifice material for the ultimate goal of ultimate bragging rights.
Edit: I thought you had changed the passwords before; I specifically said to do so; I know my self well enough to know I can't be trusted.

Yes, but I have expected you to start spying much more later. Never mind, I am adding argument that this move was proposed by mobster and this will definitely convince unexperienced players ...
... could you put the above links to the first post in the thread. (At least the link to list of gangsters ... and create a link to list of mobsters to be maintained up to date).
[edit]Thanks[/edit]

Perhaps, but if he is a double agent , and he did not warn you about our move, AND we know your movelist(as you admitted), is he our double agent or your double agent?

He made a back door ... he formulated the question for resetting the arimaagang email account. But it would be difficult to use it and not to be detected. I am not planning to close that door for the case I will prematurely died  .

Thanks for reminding me... I doubt I'll use it though(Google asks many questions for password recovery). I don't remember what the security question is, but I remember that the answer is easy to guess for Arimaa fans.
Thinking of ways to tease you and thus distract you from the game has given me a few neat ideas.
Imagine a script is in the footer of Pbworks(visible on every page). Said script runs on page load. It first deletes the visible parts of the footer and sends session cookies to a certain server, with info about viewed page(e.g when it was last edited). The server decides if it wants a copy of the page, and the script obliges. Suppose said script then checks to see if it is in the settings page that has the option to edit the footer html, and deletes page components. SUPPOSE it then deletes the HTML that it is in, thus removing all traces of the script.
Nervous yet?
Obviously a problem arises when someone has a whomping big monitor: They will see a flicker at the bottom of the page as the footer is deleted when the page loads.

To update TheMob's list - we have added novacat and swynndla to the team. 722caasi never did sign up at PBwiki.
And just today, we have a brand new member - FyzixST. That brings us to 14 with 1 bot.
