 		Yeah, I planned on that. I wouldn't mention things happening outside of my part in the game anyway. I wonder tho, should I mention the prediction to try to find out more about it, or should I not know about that yet. Rogi, you know what I'm talkin about.

 		I'm having complete deja vu here. I've seen this all before somewhere..

but creepy stuff aside this looks like the work of a ARGjacker as you've said. the website reduced to an index looks like it's been edited or something i can't remember words right now. doesn't look intentional. I think this was supposed to update majorly on 13th. The secturity on the biblio site was crap to begin with i think someone got in and is causing mass chaos sending pms supposedly IC etc etc. just seeing how much panic they can cuase for the sheer fun of it. none of this ill-planned stuff seems to fit in with how it began. I think someone broke the site.


edit: sorry for disjointed stuff my brain feels broken but seriously post on page 16 the long one by withe i've seen it before. and i've seen this all happen before somewhere. i don't know. i'll post if i figure it out.

edit:edit: of course i may just be going nuts in which case feel free to disregard.

The sad thing is - he brought the game to us. He posted it in Timewasters originally. We all thought it was a recruitment, so didn't think anything about emailing to offer help. We were entirly content to sit back and wait for it. If in fact they decided to launch too early, it is entirely their fault and they should have known better. Vibration13 has been around long enough to see some of the more colorful disasters we've had. In my opinion, if this meltdown isnt due to a theif - it's really just another pathetic excuse for attention.

Yeah, but they'd have had to do more than crack the biblios site. To pull off this atrocity, they'd have to also crack an aim account, at least three email accounts based on different servers, and all without the person originally responsible able to send out any word that something screwed up.
Either its someone very, very close to the PM (I accidentally had a fairly long chat on AIM with the wife of the PM of Angels and Daemons... so sure, a significant other could have pulled all this off)
When SarahKiddo second go round (and second melt down Smile started falling apart for lack of direction, my characters began to implode, and things got kinda weird.
If a writer can honestly say that characters start to take on a life of their own, weird things can happen when they feel that life falling apart.
Just some deep thoughts here at
well dear god, its 1:13 in the morning.

the email addresses are similar not exactly the same diffrent hosts slightly diffrent names as for the aim account who knows. aol security is about the worst in my opinion. but yea. i don't really know anything right now.

 		Email addresses and AIM's can be created. If they weren't already made by the pms they wouldn't need to be hacked, someone could just take a name already being used and create them.

 		Because the email address after the gateway matches that of the original launch posting(s), I'm thinking it'd be hard to "hijack" the game from a "pretender" kind of hack.

 		I seriously hope this one doesn't implode, it started so strong!


On an unrelated note, Withe Bartbi's avatar is creeping me out. My involvement with args basically became watching after working on TiNP and finding a certain page, which prompted frantic aimings to Marrec along the lines of "Oh god! Creepy heads on creepy sticks! Ahhh!"

 		LOL NoS Sorry for the offense. Mannequins creep me out, thus, the avatar. I'll eventually get around to changing it. I was bored the other night and decided to play around with flash and this avatar was the result.

Which is why I don't play. Hee. I watch! And sometimes add commentary. I'll only play if I feel I know what I am doing/getting into. Heh.
