I think they are a legit part of the game, and if I can use them to nail you with some fusion blobs, you should learn to be more wary when you see a camera next time.

I dont realy ever put pepper on meals at restaurants, dont realy put saldt on either.

Generaly the food doesnt need it, anyway, I can usually barely notice the difference, compared to some other spices, pepper has a rather mild, hard to notice flavour.

Dont remember my first kill, It may have been in my first or second game.

Unless the movement was rolling, then it probably was half intentional.

The rolling however, was very irritating, think ive come up with a solution that will do for the meantime though.
