Bug exploit or not, Teletubbies got their just deserts IMO. My fledgling village was amongst those they raided; their indiscriminate griefing is a bit of a pain. I admit it was kind of fun spawning alts for them to slaughter though.
Their forum posts make them sound like entitled, whiny, juvenile jerks. And yeah, when my boyfriend tried to face one of them he ran away with his tail between his legs. Hilarious.
