Commandeer? Hardly .... and for commandeering, you really can't 'beat' the players who use both avatar names that take up more than 'one line' (I've seen as much as three, regularly), and then use one line for each letter:

• P
• L
• O
• W
• I
• N
• G

or for 'begging':

• hire me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
• hire me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
• hire me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
• hire me PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

So, I think writing a single sentence, then following it with the 'riddle', is hardly commandeering.

If you're ever curious as to how much trivia I've retained from my school days, feel free to PM me with a pop quiz. But if we encounter each other at the MP I'll probably not bother putting you on ignore, just pop out to another MP while you quiz whoever has the patience to put up with it (bless their hearts).

Well, just a 'click and ignore' seems easier to me, but as you say, to each, their own.
