Just another tidbit of info to throw out there.

When the new MUD was found on Kevin's site, there were already accounts created for "choraz" "Icculus" (the MUD guy), and "Y2KVeteran" -- but not Marie or any of the other sentries.

However, doing a "last Y2KVeteran" command in the MUD showed that y2k had never logged in to the MUD. So why did he have an account there? And no one else??

Kevin's site seems to be gone, so the MUD is gone too for now.

Thanks sinyx, I now realize that I completely misread it. She's upset that he'd be lurking, not that he has multiple IPs. duh.

P.S. I was startled to see you(r lovely avatar) on boingboing the other day: http://www.boingboing.net/2007/07/10/philip_k_dick_blog_e.html

P.P.S. And yes that's weirdly interesting about the MUD.

Something else I just noticed when I went back to look at some of Y2K's earlier posts on S.O.:

He apparently is still in contact with the mysterious "Peter" -- the former Sentry who left S.O. around 2003 on bad terms after arguing with Howard and Art. This quote is from around the time we were discovering the strange activity on the ports, but because it was *before* we found the hidden bits of text on Port 1031, at the time we didn't realize the significance of "Peter":

So apparently Art is lurking in the shadows, as Mkaos has checked the IP. She has seen him online, and she's mighty upset.
What is Art up to?

Ps. Anyone else think Marie is sounding a little... Unstable here? Is she the next sentry to go cuckoo?

I'm not exactly what you would call computer saavy, but even I know how to use a proxy. Wouldn't a Arthur Lydney: Security Consultant, just as a matter of habit, surf anonymously?

You know, if we really wanted to draw Art into the open all we'd have to do is somehow mention that Y2K was a big hoax.

hehe. I'm the one for that. Not that Y2k was a big hoax at all, but that people were painting these doom and gloom scenarios the whole way through. I recently came across a popular paperback from 1998(?) that said how all the financial markets and the banking system were going to collapse in Y2K, and many pages along the same lines. The tone was that the world is going to fall with an occasional aside of "it may be possible to prevent this, but not likely." That was my problem with the whole Y2K panic scene.

The thing is I'm not around consistently enough to be posting on Sentry Outpost. But someone else could follow up on this idea. I think it is a good one.

Art just popped back up on S.O. again, placing all the blame for everything on Stu. I'm not sure I believe him, though.

So, I guess you managed to lure Art out of hiding. Him blaming Stu for everything doesn't seem too far fetched, but he isn't presenting any kind of evidence for it, and it ends up feeling more like a kid blaming his imaginary friend for stolen cookies than anything.. Not sure what I think about it at all actually.

Funny, he adresses Jen - pissed about her sharing his IM, but still not a word to Marie. He doesn't even try and put the blame on Stu.
