It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some people are in allowing their moles to die such a useless death.
Sometimes it's done on purpose; suicide moles, or throwaway moles.
In this instance, the individual probably had a spare mole that he was saving for no particular reason, and the opportunity came up, and he took it.
Suicide moles are those who sign up and stay on the island for a while, and then suddenly go out in a burst of glory, when some sort of good opportunity comes along.
Throwaway moles are those who sign up with the intention of making just one big bombastic post to twiddle the primitives'
lavaliers, hit-and-off-the-island moles.
During the Scamdal four years ago, we used mostly throwaway moles, one-post-and-then-the-hammer moles.
