[Spec?] Authenticity of 3P Groupware Manager information

[European Chris]

[oliverkeers13]

IMO, this site was created to throw us off track. The key bit of info, for me, was that they gave us the last password. They actually wanted us to access this site. No group would give you access to a site where they discuss all of their plans, THIS ISN'T A BOND MOVIE PEOPLE!
As a result, I think that we have in fact got all the keywords (except for watch) and the site is intended to make us think we've gone wrong.

[locqust]

Well either way no harm in following up the results, if it turns out to be wrong then at least we have struck this from our list ....do we have a list?

Now just have to rearrange a few letters to make up any possible site on the web...simple!

[neuromancer]

Yeah, I agree that this 'groupware' manger feels a bit 'fake'. Everybody talks in riddles and its not exactly hard to find the place...

But, like locqust said, there's no harm in seeing where this 'trail' is going...even if it is a trap...cos as always, we can feed them with fake info as well!!! Let's see if they call our bluff.

[GuyP]

I see where you're coming from - there's good reason to disbelieve the information here. That said, from an OOG perspective, I think a double-double-(double?) bluff might be a bit of a stretch. As we don't really seem to be *losing* anything by following the trail and being tricked by the 3P (apart from plenty of calories!) I say we precede as usual, with a little added caution.

[DM]

Procede with caution, but we should do something to throw them into a trap... if they want us to believe this, and are really trying to lead us off their tail, we should be prepared to bluff them right back and actually have a way to gain something from this, even if it is a bluff ³ XD

[neuromancer]

Yeah, fair enough, proceed with caution. But I do feel that we could work out our own little scam and entice some info out of them...can't hurt to try it at least...we'll probably get some credit for it anyway.

[Mokey Fraggle]

At the very least, we ought to come up with some way to identify each other -- is it fair to mention Unfiction, since it's OOG? Otherwise we'll always be looking over our shoulders at events, thinking one of us is another mole.

[oliverkeers13]

They'll find a way around it. We were asking people what their online handles were, but as there had been the advert in the Metro, and about 5 people came solely on the basis of that advert, there was no way of telling who the mole was. People were saying that there'd be one, but we have no way of identifying them. The 3P are smart, they will expect us to do things like that, so they'll get around it by one way or another.

[quaint]

Yes, I think there's something odd going on here - V tells them all to "stand by", then nothing, no emails since last Tuesday, despite the successful flight of O8 on Saturday. No round-up? No discussion? Suggests they're communicating through other channels.

As to identifying each other, if the next event is publicised in say the papers, it'd be almost impossible. On the other hand, we know now what should have alerted us on Saturday - eg the mole being in contact with someone online!

[European Chris]

At the next meet though, lets not be too focused on 'finding the mole'. If there is one it'll be for a reason and we should just do what we should be doing rather than indulge in accusations of evilness to complete strangers

[FreeMorpheme]

Ooooh, I like the idea of us bluffing them somehow. Of course, I can't think of any way at all.

Maybe next event, nobody shows up, just watches from windows and parked cars, with collars up and shades on. Then if someone turns up, we know they are a plant!

Or if we all give up totally, stop solving puzzles, then wait until they throw the Cube away and dig it out of the bin!

[vortex-5]

I sense sarcasm. Bucket loads of sarcasm.

Seriously though you guys should've went with the rubik's cube idea or something forum only so you can at least know who to trust.
