 		UPDATES: Munin e-mail to Ewan, Geocities changed
From : "Spock Vulture" <mu_nin@hotmail.com>
To : pompous_psychoSPLAThotmail.com
Subject : i 0wnz0red j00

I hacked your geocities page, little bird; I needed to get a message to your friends. My apologies.

Glad to see you free.

Blue wouldn't have let Morrice harm you, but it's a far, far better thing that your friends take care of you than we exert our selves.


Going to http://www.geocities.com/hugh_inn/, the letter cube is gone and replaced with the following message:

You must cease your offerings of worship. We draw our power from such worship. She was one of the more powerful of our number once, before the world moved on and we did not. She was dangerous enough before you began infusing her with your offerings. It has to stop. The oracle must be razed; you must *take*it*out* .

So stop sucking up to the Oracle, gang! Smile And start trying to figure out how to "take it out" instead. Hmmm...

 		I guess she didn't see this coming...
It seems that I have managed to "take out" the oracle!

I immediately went and checked the source code on the changed geocities webpage. I noticed the following Java script there:

... The oracle must be razed; you must
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

var testTXT = "/take/it/out/";
var newTXT = "";

//var regPat = new RegExp(["/", ["gi"]]);
//var newTXT = testTXT.replace(regPat, "*");

for (var i = 0; i < testTXT.length; i ++) {
if ( testTXT.charAt(i) == "/" ) newTXT = newTXT + "*";
else newTXT = newTXT + testTXT.charAt(i);
}

basically, where the 4 asterisks appear, this script reveals that they're originally actually slashes turned into asterisks with a loop of Java code.

So, since this was obviously a part of a URL, I went trying it at promography, first at /votress (no effect), then at the site root (no effect), and finally on the end of /votress/dodona. When I went to

http://www.promography.com/votress/dodona/take/it/out/, I hit paydirt: my screen shook violently, and a red & white *take*it*down* message flashed. Then I was bounced back to the Oracle's page http://www.promography.com/votress/dodona, which is now completely blank! So I think I *took*it*out*! Very Happy

I'm curious if it's blank for everyone, or just for me. Did I take it out web-wide? If so, that is "pretty c001".

 		I got the same shaky screen and blank temple.

It's another overnight delivery from Hunches-R-Usİ but I say *everyone* who made an "offering" to the Oracle should now "take it down".

We don't want this bitch to have any more power from us, do we?

And furthermore, who is this "Blue" who is apparently an anonymous ally of Ewan? Hmm, Red is evil, Blue is good. A "little bird" and a "Spock Vulture".

Hmm, what.......what is this.........strange feeling? It's almost as if.......

But it couldn't be, *hasn't been since-

My god.

Oh my god! I'm actually **enjoying playing an ARG again!!!!!!**

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go take a certain oracle down again! HA! SUCK ON THIS, YOU SCARLET HARLOT!!!!!!!!!!
