 		The Melissa Virus
Okay guys, go to this page (http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1999-04.html) and see if you find anything familiar. I think I noticed a few things and I'm wondering if this game is a play off of this whole incident. And if so, maybe Melissa isn't an AI after all...

P.S. Most of what I saw that was familiar was in the Description part of the article. This is what caught my eye the most:

Quote:
Finally, if the minute of the hour matches the day of the month at this point, the macro inserts into the current document the message "Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points for using all my letters. Game's over. I'm outta here."


Sounds kinda like Dana's Emergency Exit blog.

But sounds even MORE like me playing Scrabble.

 		The AI could also try to impersonate Dana to trick one of the other people in her life, like Aunt Margaret, Dana's mother, or her sister Chloe. Perhaps we're supposed to warn them, or get Dana to warn them?

We might also need to try and instruct the Sleeping Princess to use something to accurately identify herself, as we can't be sure Melissa wouldn't try and trick us by using the ladybee account. If the SP can break into, I'm sure as heck sure Melissa can.

Maybe she should start every email off with a joke?Smile

 		letter i sent to Dana from my gmail account:

Dana
By now I'm sure you've seen the coordinates that Mellisa has plastered
over your Aunt's site. I'm also sure you've heard the sound file of a
woman's voice repeating "I love bees" in different tones. Now that
we've put together the new text, we keep seeing references to a voice.
I believe that Mellisa will try to impersonate YOUR voice over
telephones. She's looking for a way out, and she's still pissed that
you tried to delete her. Warn your aunt that someone may be pretending
to be you, work out a secret code or something with her. Be carefull!
