How do you respond to bad bottles?
  I make a smart remark back.
  I ask them to submit a question next time.
  I don't respond to them - I skip them.
  If they give me gibberish, I give them gibberish back.
  I give them a question that they can use next time.

So lately, I've been on this kick where I want to educate the people that submit the bad bottles. I've asked politely about 90% of the bad bottle makers to submit a question next time. Then over half of them I make up a question on the spot that they can use next time. I've recycled very few of the questions, because I don't want it to become another question that we see in bottle after bottle.

Believe it or not, some people have chosen me as the winner of their bottle even when I ask them to ask a question next time.

I'm suggesting that we try to stop the madness and attempt to get people to write worthwhile bottles. Maybe we can get the spammers to go to and appropriate forum where they can bump for gold and stop wasting bottle openers' time.

I try to create a witty response to what ever they put, even if it doesn't really relate

example:
bottle: Shut Up
response: What about our love?

Hello fellow Bottle lovers. Thanks for having me! This is my first Guild and I love what you guys are doing. I like the bottle game, trying to come up with clever and witty answers to the mundane, unimaginitive questions, and the asinine gibberish. I just went to do some bottles and it seems to be "what is your favorite pet day" Every other question was the above. So my answer has been "my favorite pet is a peeve, yanno pet peeve, as in can't you come up with some better question?" *Cracks herself up* I win about 3 out of 5 bottles a day, but I doubt if I'll be winning today!

How's this for ya? Andreah2080 stold one of my answers. Was answering bottles and saw my answered posted word for word by somebody else. I sent her a PM:

Hey, I was just answering bottles and I've noticed that you've stold one of my answers.

"Hey back atcha, welcome to Gaia, hope you have as much fun here as I do. When you get the hang of things come over to the zOMG game and help me kill the Anime, we need all the help we can get."

Sheesh, you can't even come up with your own? I suppose I should be flattered, you thought it was good enough to copy word for word. But I'm thinking that if you win best in bottle you owe me 125 gold for each winner since I did half the work! *cracks herself up, being easily amused* What do you think? Pay up, or desist?

And this was her answer:

dude i didnt copy or did i??

Oh, and BTW, I know it's hard to tell from my avi, but I'm a girl!
