I'm beginning to get the impression RecycleOrDie is Alan Bradley.


WOW, what precarious and perplexing developments, I'm never going to get ANY sleep if stuff like this continues to be figured out so quickly by the 'midnight think tankers' here...HEHE! Good work guys, very impressed!

I'm beginning to get the impression RecycleOrDie is Alan Bradley.

I was thinking that at first, but some of his comments lead me to eventually conclude otherwise. Notably these:

RecylceOrDie wrote:
Encom could only have two possible types of news to announce: 1) that they intend to flood the market with some new product that everyone just MUST buy, or 2) that they deny all blame for some faulty software they already released. Either way, I won't trust a thing they have to say.

RecylceOrDie wrote:
THIS IS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SOOOO RANDOM, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!


It's still possible it's Alan Bradley, but that begs the question: Would Alan Bradley be so cynical about Encom?

Hi all. First time poster here, but thought I would add my two cents as to who RecycleorDie is. I think it is a Bradley, but Lora, not Alan. She would be a strong supporter of her husband and cynical of Encom after its treatment of Alan. She would have access to the documents that have posted and as a one-time employee would have been in a position to have stock options.

Nice reasoning! The "Recycle or Die" angle of things also plays well into Flynn and the Bradleys' environmental pushes.

Still not sure about "Hippie McGee"... was that Lora's canon name? Lora McGee? Very Happy

Nope, it was Dr. Lora Baines.

emeraldbeacon - thanks for the praise

As for "Hippie McGee" reference, it could be a random reference to add flavor to the discussion. But, if it is not, then there is one person it might be besides Lora and that is Walter Gibbs. He had great respect for Alan and did not like where the company was going in the first Tron. "McGee" could be a play on his last name.

However, we still have little to go on and many months until the premiere, so I think we can assume we will learn more about Recylceordie.

I definitely think that ZackAttack is someone who works for Encom. It seems to convenient that some arcade owner has access to create Encom IDs and hack into the password database.

I think that Zack and ArcadeAid are fronts for something else. Besides, I think that RecycleOrDie is too obvious, my money is that his strong support of Bradley is a Red Herring. If anyone on the Flynn Lives boards is Alan, my bet would be ZackAttack.

Just to summarize: ZackAttack has connections to Encom, he is able to infiltrate the system even with Bradley's TRON program in place (an upgraded one by now), and he was able to create very convincing Encom employee IDs.

As much as Alan Bradley might be sympathetic to the Flynn Lives organization, I don't think he'd create nor condone a utility to hack into the executive accounts of Encom. He most especially wouldn't likely want to be exposing his own account, allowing a less than discreet display of his personal life. Alan has a much stronger sense of integrity and discretion than that, and being as aware as he is of security he wouldn't want something like that 'back door' even for the 'good guys', as it could easily fall into the hands of the 'bad guys'. Remember too that when he and Flynn broke in to expose Dillinger, Alan was basically in control of the situation. He didn't just let Flynn loose with access on his own. He was also only dealing with Flynn, not a random bunch of 'groupies'.

I fully expect ZackAttack is just what he claims to be. After knowing a few independent coders of exceptional skill, they seem to also not mesh well with large corporate environs. Matter of a fact, when was the last time you saw a major hacker emerge from a technology corporation? They're usually the brilliant kid that has zero interest in pleasing any boss. The only 'boss' they really acknowledge is themselves.

Think I just figured out a new forum member that is an Encom employee

DonutLuvver or FL message board = Laird B on Encom intranet message....email 16

Thoughts? Any meaning to this??

Actually... I agree with this! In retrospect it seems pretty obvious. It gives some interesting context to his comments as well.
