It seems that they don't want people pretending to be NRU students.

What screen name sent this to you?

nru sec was the actual screen name that actually IM'ed me.
so is the email part of the game or just the PMs telling us to pretend to be a student.

From what I can tell, the curtain is down. Someone wants you/us gone.

To me, it seems that NRU is fully aware that we are trying to pretend to be students and that they aren't going to fall for it. As far as what the PMs are trying to say, it's either that pretending to be an NRU student will be futile, or that if we are to pretend to be a student at NRU we need to do something differently or go about it from another angle, as the method we are currently using will not work.

"script kiddies" usually refers to those who run scripts from a shell account or something similar, rather than those who try to go through official channels to try to gain unauthorized access. The press release from the other day sounds more like the actions of a script kiddie. I wonder if the secretary is just fed up with their systems being poked around.

...brute forcing IS generally frowned upon in this genre as not being "fair play", especially when you have amateur PMs with limited bandwidth to spare.

darn the letter H for not sponsoring this project....they're missing out on a great opportunity to shoot up the charts and be considered in the ranks of A, B, and C.

The letter 'H' is probably too busy with its commitments to sponsoring such events as 'H'olidays, 'H'ot c'H'ocolate (mmmmm) and 'H'olland to even think about sponsoring Acheron...which is obviously sponsored by the word "Arghhhh".

(At least "Arghhh" is what springs to mind every time I try and figure out what's going on) Confused
