Here's a hoax player that came into #ilovebees sometime earlier tonight. Took out irrelevant joining messages, etc.

* antman3dfx has joined #ilovebees
<antman3dfx> Who Is your Daddy ?
<antman3dfx> And What Does He do ?
<antman3dfx> Welcome - Bees and Ants live in unity. Ask a question to gain imunity.
<Rougewisp> can i have a dollar?
<Rougewisp> maybe two, just cab fare
<antman3dfx> U have had a chance to ask me for a clue. Time has ended. Time is not on your side, Time remaining = 24:05:08:10:779 . Have a good day.
<Rougewisp> what?
<Rougewisp> dude, you suck
<Rougewisp> just a few bucks
<Rougewisp> damn you, you... you red herring!
* Rougewisp cries
<antman3dfx> communication - Terminated.
* antman3dfx has quit IRC (Quit: )

Just a heads up. Forgot to do a /whois on him, sorry.

Checksum

Call it an in-game Chain of Custody. In real life when you need to prove an item or document came from a legitimate source, you attach a chain of custody, where one person signs off that they have received the item from the previous holder, so you can show how it's passed hands. In this way you can positively verify the origin of the item or document.

Similarly, think of chain of custody as it applied to this game. Any website, email, IM, etc. will be pointed to in some way directly or indirectly from ilovebees.com. If you can show how to get to the website or email from ilovebees.com then you've preserved chain of custody and you're probably safe to call it in-game.

You don't have to have a direct link form ilovebees.com straight to the site as long as intermediate sites are also preserved under the chain of custody rules. For example, if ilovebees.com had a link to something like apiaryawareness.org, and apiaryawareness.org then had a link to hivefoundation.net, then hivefoundation.net would still be in-game because chain of custody has been preserved.

OK, I've hammered this concept into the ground. Do with it what you will.
