All of the munchkin ideas I can think of aren't so much unlikely to work as hideously unethical. That fits with the classic munchkin, but it takes them off the table as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather not signal willingness to entertain immoral ideas, since there's no disclaimer I could issue that would adequately signal the truth of my being against them.

Use a throwaway account?

Well, it's too late now. If a new account shows up and posts hideously unethical suggestions, kinda obvious who it is.

Worse, anyone at all can now start a new account, post whatever horrid and disgusting ideas they want and everyone will think they are Luke's.

That's actually better, not worse, it gives plausible deniability.

Which is why I said it. So maybe he'll actually post.

... and at the same time, maybe he won't!
