I do not know what the term "troll" means in this context, but I had no evil
intent.  I just wished to point out that there are dozens of GM's who cannot
play crafty because there ratings are below 2850, the cut off point for playing
crafty at the time I made this post.  I also realize now that I was partialy
wrong, because Mr. Hyatt says now that he often makes exceptions to this rule by
giving select players a 'password' to play crafty.
