From time to time we get a lot of weird requests and spam mail in the GV Members Inbox. We decided the best way to deal with all the spammers isn't to just "Send To Trash" but to share in the fun of openly mocking them with you, the GV community! Today we received a very inquisitive note all the way from the Republic of Congo…

Hello Edith,
I'm doing great actually. We just announced the launch of our first iPhone game, Ninja Rally, (YATTA!) and we're giving away more cash and item-based prizes than ever before here at Gamesville! Since you asked, here's a quick run down of my current likes and dislikes:
Likes
- The spring weather here in Boston
- Long blog posts on the beach
- Drinks with umbrellas
- Playing Ninja Rally
- Writing this blog column
Dislikes
- Crabby people
- My commute (construction, grrr)
- Not being eligible to win any of the aforementioned cash and prizes because I'm an employee
- Poor spelling and bad grammer
- Zombies
- Spammers
Hope you enjoyed my lists, looking forward to hearing from you again soon.
Best,
- Oh! Ryan Kelley

I don't know whats goin on but every time I've gotten cups or a good hit in Pit stop Slots I end up loosing my points. Today 5 mins ago I got 5 cups so I spun a few more and thought because I had lost them before I would leave the room and in this way if the server reset I would not get put back to the starting point when I came into that room, I enter another room and bang I lost every point I got for the cups. This is starting to get me mad. It has happened about 8 times in the last 2 weeks.

Hello Ryan Kelley. Were you being facetious in your response to Edith? Your dislikes are "poor spelling and bad grammer?" If not, the correct spelling is "grammar."

You caught me! I dislike bad "grammer", but really like your attention to detail.
