Nah, It's ambiguous because it has to be to make the clue work. If he meant "Vanilla with caramel topping" he would have said "Vanilla with caramel topping", but then that is entirely different clue; in that case you add the "topping" of the word caramel ie: the letters L or 'EL' to the anagram fodder, and you don't get the footballer playing in a red shirt anymore.

This is exactly what I meant when I said it pinged me. Maybe "not vanilla anymore" was overstating the issue, but if Clark meant any of Vanilla with caramel topping, or Vanilla with a caramel swirl, or any other variation, there was no reason you couldn't say that. Unless, of course, he had to speicfically construct your sentence the way he did for reasons.

Interesting you would try and fudge the issue like this, though. Wouldn't happen to be Clarks' scumbuddy, would you?

a player with that level of verbosity and apparent dedication to analysis can spare a few words to at least attempt to get some sort of conversation going on a useful game level

In this case, the amount of words read to me as a nervous cover for rolling scum

More or less is here to make them talk, so somewhat serious but not really. See post #41 please.

i read it, it's what pinged me originally because it was an assumption/interpretation of their thought process when they had, at that point only responded in quotes and pictures

I thought it was pretty funny. Yes, putting up big walls where you say a lot without really saying anything is noteworthy, but that is not the spirit in which I took .

Not to put words in another player's mouth, but I'll guess that the question comes from a point of view that the Salsa wagon and how it formed is maybe more worthy of conversation "on a useful game level" than what seems to me to be an elaborate RV.

The funny (and it quacked me up) post came from Leaven. Dann is voting Val. Why do you want to sheep that vote? How would putting a vote on Val disincentivize funny posts?

Ok, but you want to sheep a vote on Val but you aren’t. Why do you want to sheep it? And why aren’t you, besides preventing humorous posts?

I think Dann's good at Mafia. Plus his posts are most of the not fluff so far, and sound.
