For me it's mainly the frequency that leads to the boredom/frustration.
I'm just tired of it at the current pace it's happening. (That's also why
I never got into Bnomic despite trying a few times). The same scam a month
from now when the gamestate from the last one was more or less settled
would result in a "hmm, what's e up to, something clever I hope" though I
would still pursue any actual rules breakages in the courts to keep you
honest.
I guess my options are ignore one out of three, response to all and
get annoyed/frustrated/exhausted, or just deregister for a time and
take a breath. Not sure which is best right now.
