 		Just had another "hit n run" from Mat (presumably)

Quote:

(14:55:26) Dave - Tom - Mat: I know it must be confusing for everyone
(14:55:35) Dave - Tom - Mat: but we use aliases all the time
(14:55:50) Dave - Tom - Mat: on every operation I have a new name.


Obviously in reference to our speculations in this forum.

The whole name (Mat Doveloy) is an anagram of Tom Loveday. Or vice versa if you prefer. Which explains the spelling of Mat with only one T, and the slightly odd looking surname.


Bah, I read the Loveday wrong XD

Edit: I guess the last one would be Dave Tomloy. Anyone want to ask him what the heck we should be calling him? Or if any of those are actually his name?

Edit2: You can see some anagrams on his name:

Ah, I see she is a 20th level Ninja Elf Queen, at which point she gains the ability to confer a lesser ninja elf to those she deems worthy. Laughing

His screenname being "MT DT TL" says that this is a shared account between Mat T., DT? (Could just be me, too lazy to look around) and Tom L.

This doesn't quite add up: the name's we've been given were Mat Doveloy, Dave Tolomy, and Tom Loveday. All anagrams of each other, but those initials don't match - should be MD not MT. Unless there's another split personality lurking somewhere that we've not met yet.

As an aside, if we're still bagsying bird names, I wanna be a dodo Very Happy

EDIT - Just had a quick chat, having only just added him to my IM client! Bits in bold are from him.

17:45:42: Hey
17:46:02: Hiya
17:46:23: If possible I can arrange a dead drop in London for this coming weekend
17:46:48: I'm sure someone will be able to make it
17:47:06: It will be a relief to be honest
17:47:17: For people to know the truth
17:48:11: Can you share anything at the moment? The weekend is quite a way off.
17:48:17: I mean, I'm just 17, and I'm already involved in lies and deceit. It shouldn't be like that.
17:49:34: You're right, it shouldn't. If there's anything I or anyone else can do to help in any way, please let somone know.
17:50:15: I wouldn't have been able to distract my Jennifer without you guys
17:50:38: Now she's started this investigation it's taken her attention away from other things
17:52:19: It's tricky with no idea what we're distracting from. We don't want to send her looking in the wrong direction by mistake.
17:53:14: That's why I want to come clean
17:53:16: about everything
17:53:26: but I can't on here
17:53:29: it's not safe
17:53:58: I need to go, I'm meeting my father off a plane at heathrow
17:54:02: thanks again
17:54:07: DT - Tom Loveday signed off (was Online)

Lucky! o.o I've been on this whole time watching for him to sign on. He must be ghosting from peopl ehe doesn't have added to his list or something.

And HIS Jennifer? Does that mean there's another Jennifer?

Bah, If I had to download it, you do too. ;op But yes, we (at least some of us *coughmyselfcough*) are sillymongers.

 		Ninja Elf - 10000000 HP can only been defeated with a mystical napsack.

Blimey, memo to self *must not leave internets...ever.*

Some points though:

HES 17?!!!
HIS JENNIFER?!

All require capslock.

So Mat, might not even be his name! Wowzers.

 		No, you don't have to download MSN!! Have an account, yes, but download, no. Use something like Miranda IM - it might help save you from going mad having Yahoo!, AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC etc all running at once. 'Tis open source, but for Windows only. In the interests of being fair, there are other things out there that are similar (Trillian springs to mind), but yay for open source Very Happy Apologies if everyone knows about it already, and I hope my post isn't bad form or anything, I'm just trying to help.

So, back to the original thread. I too was startled about his being 17. And was puzzled by the reference to his Jennifer. Perhaps Jennifer is not a person, but a thing (a robot maybe?). I think I may have watched too much naff sci-fi if that's what's cropping up in my brain. I need to step away from my PC for a bit Laughing

Oh, and *snigger* at Agent Boobie (no offence!)

MT could stand for May Toldove.

We all need our softer side you know!

(Has anyone spoken up for "Yellow-bellied sapsucker" yet? I don't know what it is, but I want it!)

 		I'm gonna go with the fact that he typed "my mother" at first but then decided to say Jennifer, forgetting to delete the "my" bit.

I'm still up for the dead drop at the weekend. I'll download MSN again tonight, and reactivate an old hotmail account. See if I can't find Mat online.

Delete-repost to add:
Had a chat with Mat (hey, a rhyme!) over MSN tonight. Basic info: the drop's at Southbank, on Sunday. More details later.

DT - Tom Loveday says (22:04):
Hello Lewis
Lex says (22:04):
Hey. Sorry my phone died on me, it's as inconvenient for me as it is for you. I hope you got the message okay, I had to type it without being able to see it.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:04):
Yes it came through, thankyou.
Lex says (22:05):
I've been keeping up on events through some friends you've spoken with.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:06):
That's useful, I won't have to explain everything.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:0Cool:
Have you by any chance aquired a new phone?
Lex says (22:10):
Not yet. My current phone works fine apart from the screen being unreadable, so I can make and receive calls. I'll have to wait until I have enough money for a new phone, which is annoying. But what can ya do?
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:11):
Ah, that's alright.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:11):
Have you by any chance heard about a potential dead drop in London this coming weekend?
Lex says (22:12):
I have. I was going to mention that I can get to London very easily at the weekend, since I already work there. Any location I can find on a map, I should be able to reach.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:13):
Are you familiar with Londons Southbank?
Lex says (22:13):
I've been there before, yes. I don't know the area particularly well, but I can find my way around
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:14):
I'll make it as simple as possible
Lex says (22:16):
I'm looking forward to finding out more. This whole business, since the email, has been pretty mysterious.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:17):
I'm hoping this will make up for keeping you all in the dark
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:19):
I've wanted to tell you everything from the start
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:19):
but that would have comprimised everything
Lex says (22:20):
I understand. I expect this is tricky, in your line of work.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:20):
To be honest I want out
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:20):
I actually want to be a photographer
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:20):
but this just felt like an easy route to follow...
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:22):
I guess that's what part of this is all about
Lex says (22:23):
Would Jennifer have even let you choose another route?
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:23):
I don't like to argue with her.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:24):
She always wins
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:25):
Look - can you make it into London this Sunday?
Lex says (22:25):
Unless something comes up, I'll be there
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:26):
I'll make the arrangements and get back to you with details soon
Lex says (22:26):
I'll mark it on my calendar.
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:26):
Thanks
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:26):
for everything
DT - Tom Loveday says (22:27):
We'll talk soon
Lex says (22:27):
Farewell

 		Whoo! Way to go! I wonder if he's going to show up in person to meet you or just leave the package where you can get to it. Think you're sneaky enough to snap a discreet photo of him? 0=o)
