Game 1 (3/20/02): Recap provided by Johnny J. Young and Steve Peters.
The in-game characters Vad (vadindc) and Barbie (notadoll70) actually
played a live Euchre game last night in Yahoo Games as they had talked
about in their recent emails at nocars.org. Some JawBreakers managed to
find them there at http://play.yahoo.com/games/login?game=Euchre and
joined in. Vad and Barbie were there live for a couple of hours playing
and chatting.
Other JawBreakers who were there should post a summary of all that we
learned from the conversation, but for now here is what little Steve and
I were able to transcribe...
[beginning of transcript missing]
(here, vadindc was talking to notadoll70 about his new job and his new
boss a lot.)
vadindc: she gestures a lot. her bracelets go jangling...
vadindc: she's into conceptual design, feng shui, etc.
[more transcript missing]
(here, notadoll70 was talking about how she missed seeing vadindc and so
the JawBreakers were trying to convince her that she should go visit
him.)
(after some time, notadoll70 got disconnected and it was just vadindc
for the rest of the evening.)
(here, vadindc is talking to the JawBreakers about his boss again.)
vadindc: Well, that's the thing.
vadindc: all of her company's promo stuff lauds her as the head
desinger. I mean, she created this place, as far as I am concerned
ozymandias_y2k_in: but?
vadindc: well, she says the other day, during this long orientation
meeting how she got handed the project
vadindc: so i correct her, you know, as best as i can, trying to show
off that I've read the circulars and reports
SpaceBass98: heh, correcting the boss rarely goes over well
vadindc: i know
ozymandias_y2k_in: never hurts to sound prepared
vadindc: but it just seemed weird
SpaceBass98: what did she say?
ozymandias_y2k_in: did she say if she's reporting to/responsible to
someone?
vadindc: well that's just the thing. she recovered and then said
something like Well, that's what I meant
ozymandias_y2k_in: never too early to learn to play good office
politics. you want to know who you're really working for
ozymandias_y2k_in: sometime's it's more important to impress the boss'
boss, know what i mean?
vadindc: she actually stuttered for a few minutes, and then did lots of
smoothing of her clothes and stuff.
vadindc: weirdest. ever.
fatal67: in today' s economy? it's good just to get paid
vadindc: anyway, i shouldn't really go on about it too much, but it just
seems a little off, you know? maybe i just don't know her that well yet
ozymandias_y2k_in: agreed. especially in a planning meeting in front of
other co-workers.. have you considered approaching her privately and
asking for the scoop?
vadindc: no it was just us. i was the newest employee that day, i think.
it's not a huge staff.
ozymandias_y2k_in: i mean , maybe she would applaud your initiative
SpaceBass98: i'd be careful about that if she covered it she probably
doesn't want to talk about it
SpaceBass98: is she well known for other things?
vadindc: well known?
SpaceBass98: like would her name be useful in branding
vadindc: heyyy, your'e not trying to put me off my euchre game with all
these questions, are you?
SpaceBass98: sorry you got me curious
cljones23: damn
angrycommish: it isn't working if so
SpaceBass98: heh
vadindc: well, i could be doing better
vadindc: keep getting distracted
vadindc: excellent
vadindc: wtg fatal!
ozymandias_y2k_in: sorry vad. I'll pick on one of your opponents for a
while if you want ;)
vadindc: you were picking on me?
vadindc: ;)
fatal67: was the only trick i could have possibly taken
vadindc: and it was just right, fatal
fatal67: well, i get to watch the cards since i have no clue what you
guys are talking about
ozymandias_y2k_in: what do the rest of you players do for a living?
fatal67: i design internet networks. backbones
angrycommish: i work for a genomics company
cljones23: i work for the state. that's why im up late playing cards :0
fatal67: smell that???
vadindc: heh
ozymandias_y2k_in: commish, doing what?
angrycommish: your basic lab rat
vadindc: ns fatal
ozymandias_y2k_in: all i ever did was donate the occasional plasma ;)
angrycommish: damn we stink
angrycommish: anyone else want to give it a try?
vadindc: on the internet, no one can smell you
angrycommish: :)
fatal67: heheh
vadindc: it *is* getting late, though
angrycommish: wonder what happened to notadoll
ozymandias_y2k_in: have to get up early tomorrow
cljones23: that's what coffee is for
fatal67: mountain dew
vadindc: pretty soon i'll have as many games racked up as my friend B.
the rate I'm going. I am not sure what happened to her. sometimes
connections get bad
ozymandias_y2k_in: maybe you'll get better if you play longer and you
can beat her more often
paul_stine: im good for a game, assuming my connection stays stable
fatal67: um, i hope she isn't on one of my networks
vadindc: y'all are addicts!
paul_stine: can't get too much of a good game, i always say
cljones23: right
vadindc: true
angrycommish: this game is almost over, so someone can take my place as
soon as we lose
vadindc: i'm getting kinda bleary
ozymandias_y2k_in: what time do you have to get up tomorrow?
vadindc: probably 7-ish. well, it's only 10 minute walk to the office.
it's not a big deal. today was sort of my web day, anyway.
ozymandias_y2k_in: sleep dep is good. you'll be all frazzled, and be
able to relate to your boss better.
vadindc: Ha!
fatal67: good thing you have a partner
vadindc: Oh really, she's great
angrycommish: and we started out so good
cljones23: Good game
vadindc: wtg partner!
angrycommish: ok vad - I'm out.
angrycommish: good games
vadindc: I think I am out, too.
angrycommish: you too clj
vadindc: It was nice to have a chatty room, though.
ozymandias_y2k_in: quite a little tourney we had going here. All, can we
do this again sometime?
angrycommish: yeah - we should do it again some time
angrycommish: :)
urbanzombie2: Yeah, I never got a chance to play the pros!
ozymandias_y2k_in: i almost enjoy the table talk more than the game!
vadindc: Well, I seem to be addicted to this online euchre thing, so
maybe!
cljones23: Yeah, I'm a masochist... :)
vpisteve: i waited and waited and never got to play!
vadindc: This was nice.
ozymandias_y2k_in: vad, dude, good luck w/ the boss
vadindc: Thanks!
ozymandias_y2k_in: and seriously, if you ever need any legal advice with
that noncompete...
vadindc: I want to make sure B.'s OK, too.
vadindc: Wonder where she went?
donkey_oatey: two words: wear pants.
vadindc: ozy: heh!
ozymandias_y2k_in: make sure you get her out to visit you!!!
fatal67: why wouldnt she be alright? prolly just the net.
ozymandias_y2k_in: you won't regret having the company. Trust me.
cljones23: "These are not the pants you are looking for..."
paul_stine: Any day, zombie.
fatal67: Ah, your jedi mind trick will not work on me, foolish one.
vadindc: Hey, any excuse to call her, you know. ;)
cljones23: Heh
urbanzombie2: Hey, I pressed it already
urbanzombie2: It just ignored me
vpisteve: he's whipped
urbanzombie2: Damn computer
ozymandias_y2k_in: ummm, i get the feeling you two might be more than
just "friends"
paul_stine: Just lag, probably.
vadindc: OK, nice playing with you all!
angrycommish: long distance relationships rarely work out...
ozymandias_y2k_in: seeya vad
vadindc: thanks for the good games.
angrycommish: thanks vad. take care
urbanzombie2: Yall come back now, you hear?
vadindc: :)
*** vadindc has left the table
urbanzombie2: CAVEBEAR DIES TONIGHT!
angrycommish: CAVE BEAR DIES TONIGHT
ozymandias_y2k_in: gnaaaaah!!!!
urbanzombie2: There, its out
angrycommish: HAHAHAHA

Game 2 (3/27/02): Recap provided by UrbanZombie.
OK, for those who couldn't make it, here's a summary. When I entered
about fifteen minutes in, I started making a transcript of everything
mildly interesting:
V: So B, has work been busy this week?
B: I'm working on it
B: About done
V: Excellent
B: It'd due for review next week, though
C: And what does that mean for your weekend?
B: We'll see, I may be able to make it out your way
V: May?
Mos: What is your job, notadoll?
B: I write. Nothing exciting.
Zombie: Hey, writing is exciting. Are you with a publication right
now?
B: No, I'm working on a manual for a small corporate coaching girm
(What about Grrl-E-Grrl, Barbara? That was our website, Barbara!
Barbara? Don't leave me!)
Fatal: Hey, what happened to you last week doll?
B: My connection went out
B: Couldn't get back into the room
Fatal: See! Told ya, Bad! He was all worried and stuff
B: Were you?
Fatal: Er... was I not supposed to say that?
V: I called her anyhow
(AWWWWWWW! He's conceeeeeeerned. How cuuuuuute)
V: B, work's been an eye-opener as of late
B: More from JB? (Jo Burgess, not Jawbreakers, if you're wondering)
V: No, thankfully
(At this point, the Jawbreakers got Euchred, and the topic was lost.
Sigh...)
B: So, what's up then?
V: Let's just say...
V: Remember how we were joking about my work nda?
Fatal: I remember, but I can't talk about it.
(Bad-dum, CHING! Heh.)
V: LOL. Well, ah, they're not kidding
B: Really. Did you think they were?
V: No, of course not.
Fatal: You veen talking about stuff you shouldn't?
V: Er, not really, heh.
Adoyle: You know, there ARE limits on what companies can make you
sign up to in an NDA.
All: *agreement, too long to type*
V: It's not just an NDA though
Adoyle: Maybe you should get some advice from a lawyer (she coyly
said, being a DC licensed lawyer)
Jamesi: What is it then, Vad?
V: Uh....
V: *Should just shut up*
Wolf: "We've secretly replaced Vad's NDA with Folger's Crystals
Fatal: Come on, you can tell us, who we gonna tell?
B: Oh, I want in on that deal.
V: No kidding
Fatal: If more than one person knows, its not really a secret any more
V: Truer words never spoken
B: That tight, eh?
V: Let's just say that it's lucky I can play Euchre
Zombie: Man, they're one of those "monitor you every move" companies?
V: *nod*
Zombie: My brother worked at a place like that. They even made him
move to a new town, they were so bad.
Zombie: Thne one day... *poof*
Zombie: I haven't seen him in months
V: ??
V: So B, that... artwork I sent last week? (Obviously pieces.jpg)
V: Bad move on my part
B: Really?
V: Yeah
B: It was just some trash...
V: It was very nice trash!
V: I only pick the best!
B: I've seen some of the stuff you've picked
V: I have more
B: Really?
V: I absolutely cannot send it though
B: I see. It's more along those lines
Jamesi: "The creation of man" - that's my fave painting
V: I always imagine that they're going to zap each other with static
electricity
Zombie: LOL
V: That God and man have rubbed feet on the carpet right before that
moment
Wolf: God: "Pull my finger"
B: LOL
V: So B, electronic correspondance just so happens to be sniffed
B: Really?
V: Big time
B: So no more lunch chats
V: Well, we just have to uh, keep it clean
V: I can't talk about Feng Shui women
B: Gotcha
V: Yes, interesting
V: Anyhow, B, I was adding to my art collection
(Topic somehow goes from him stealing his bosses garbage to Star Wars
in one magical leap. We /suck/rule, guys. Eventually...)
V: B, so I'd like you to have this work of art
B: OK
B: But no getting it in chat?
V: Nope.
V: Today's my web day at work
V: And you know what sucks about that?
B: What?
V: I have to do a backup tonight, late, late, late.
B: Ug.
V: Yes. Just onto disk and such. It's not a big deal, really.
B: So you'll be in a mood tomorrow. Is that what you're telling me?
V: Yes.
B: Also, I need to do some updates to the site.
Adoyle: You have help?
V: No, I'll be own my own tonight. Which is a good thing, B.
Adoyle: What do you do usually?
V: I work on stuff. In a town.
Zombie: VERY specific.
V: Yes, well.
Fatal: Well duh. I work on stuff in a tow too.
V: AMAZING! :P
*More discussion of how neither of them can tell us what they do,
lost track, nothing important*
V: So I think you might find this art interesting, B
Zombie: If you need somewhere to subtly transfer your... art... I
have a server you can use
V: Thanks, but...
V: I am so not looking forward to the backup, but at least it'll be
somewhat productive for me
B: OK
V: So, b, this weekend
V: I almost think you're avoiding the topic!
B: Yes, this weekend
B: ME never
V: Mmm hmm
B: I'll try to make it
B: No promises though
V: It would be really cool
Jamesi: Go for it, doll! Vad will shower you with gifts!
Vad: I will? Oh, oh, OK. :)
B: Gift?
V: Yes, showers of gifts! Piles and stacks!
B: It depends on the manual and, well you know
V: I don't think you need to worry as much as you are. He's going to
be fine.
B: You haven't seen him lately
V: I've talked with him a great deal.
James: Send your friend some flowers
B: Oh, flowers wouldn't go over very well.
V: B, you need to come here so I can be less distracted in euchre
V: Not that I don't like you all very much, but...
(We're hurt, Vad. Hurt.)
V: On the internet, you can be eternally young...
I stopped after they basically stopped saying anything relevent, and
started playing. Basically, what we learned was that Vad found
another interesting document while rumaging through Jo Burgess's
trash, but security is so high he can't send it out. We suggested
lots of ways of sneaking it through, but he brushed them all off.
Well, he seemed a little interested in hiding the image on the
Moreland webpage, but ultimately said he definitely couldn't.
In the only other real item of business, and in the highlight of *my*
evening, Jamesi challenged Vad and Barbie to a bet; if Vad won,
Barbie would have to visit him this weekend. If we won, she'd have
to visit one of us. Yet despite the fact that we were playing to
lose, AND cheating rampantly... WE STILL WON!!!! We totally suck.
But, on the plus side, I expect Barbie at my front door, wearing
french maid lingere and holding a feather duster, any day now.
Sigh...
Other than that, nothing wildly interesting. I left at 10:30, but
things seemed to have preetty much wound down by then. We've learned
that Vad's getting progressively more creeped out at work, Barbie's
getting depressed about her work, and Eric is still the worst human
being on Earth and too paranoid to be left alone.
I CAN'T BELIEVE WE WON! ARG!

women or men authors

james: b: ok, don't be gentle, but don't be brutally honest if you
hate it, it'll break my heart
b: i wouldn't want to do that
james: :)
james: i'm self-depreciating

adoyle98: all the more reason to visit again, firm up new friendships
adoyle98: Oscar who?

b: can you trust me?
v: I think so.
b: so do i
v: You're one of the few.
v: :)
sue: AAAAAAWWWWWWW!
onyx: don't encourage them sue =)
adoyle: good friends are hard to find. hold on to them!
sue: Sorry...
adoyle98: esp if they have vacation places in Wv
gupfee: Hard friends are good to hold
sue: I'm sure Vad's hard to hold, with those points on his head
b: but doesn't he look good in blue

lines, gang
james: ..................ZAM!

ec: Vad, you seem to do very little inviting
doll: cool
ec: too busy?
vad: work's busy, yeah. chaotic
ec: you dont'work at a post office, do you? the whole room would be
lonely after a shooting spree
vad: ec: sounds like you know the trade
ec: what trade? shooting sprees?
vad: ;)
uz: is there a shooting spree trade? can't imagine there'd be much
room for promotion
vad: you could get to the top pretty quickly, though
uz: right, but even then the pay scale would suck. I mean after you
take their small change
adoyle: and their stamps
ec: flexible work hours, though
uz: right, of course
ec: you work practically once a lifetime.
vad: it's amazing how maudlin it can get in here.
vad: someone, quick! Talk about bunnies!
doll: agreed
uz: i like puppies, if it helps
do : i like bunnies
ec: where is the pancake bunny?

[Some inane talk about bunnies that wasn't worth typing, then Barbie
is asked about writing some more articles]
doll: i've got a couple things that i keep meaning to get to
vad: what're you plannin on?
doll: and then don't for whatever reason

vad: hm
doll: well, planned communities are on the rise
katya: maybe james would be interested in a moreland article for his

jamesi: lol b
doll: well, maybe

uz: i hear it helps to put it in backwards
adoyle: uz, the images....

Private chat
between UrbanZombie and Barbie
So, me and Barbie were chatting it up tonight... you know, all casual-
like...
notadoll70: Hi
urbanzombie2: Why, hello.
notadoll70: i've been thinking about what you said
urbanzombie2: I'm glad to hear it. I understand that you have a great
deal to think about.
notadoll70: why do you say that?
urbanzombie2: It seems you've had quite an unusual couple of months.
notadoll70: yes, that is true
urbanzombie2: I am afraid that I can do little to ease your burden at
this time. However, if you have questions, I may have answers.
notadoll70: why did you send me the msg
notadoll70: what are your intentions
notadoll70: realizing that you'll not answer that truthfully
urbanzombie2: Because, as strange as it may seem, your friend Vad may
have the opportunity to right many wrongs.
notadoll70: what do you mean
notadoll70: you seemed concerned before
notadoll70: now you want him to act
urbanzombie2: I am not asking anything of him, or you.
urbanzombie2: But he is a good man in an unfortunate situation, and I
hope the best for him.
notadoll70: what situation?
urbanzombie2: I do not want to force you into anything... I do not
know everything, but I may know more than you care to see. Are you
sure you want my help?
notadoll70: no, I'm not sure at all
notadoll70: in fact I'd say that I'm very unsure
notadoll70: and I'm very nervous about this right now
urbanzombie2: Understandable. Again, if you have questions, I have
answers Ms. Mills.
notadoll70: I don't know what the questions are
notadoll70: i don't know how you found us
notadoll70: i don't know what is happening
urbanzombie2: Do you believe in fate, Ms. Mills?
(Note: OK, I was pushing it here. But I think the next bit rocks
bells. Screw you all)
urbanzombie2: Last week, while playing a casual game of Euchre, I
discovered a nice couple, one of whom lives in an unusual town named
Moreland.
urbanzombie2: Two hours later, I discovered that a close friend of
mine was murdered, just miles outside of the very same Moreland.
urbanzombie2: I don't believe in fate, Ms. Mills, but I do believe in
justice.
urbanzombie2: Ganmed Biotechnical has murdered to conceal their
secrets. They have murdered, and they shall do so again.
urbanzombie2: Your friend Vad may be the hero of this tale, or he may
be a victim. Time will tell. But I will help if I can.
notadoll70: what do you know about Arney?
urbanzombie2: Jim Arney? The more I know about that wretched shadow
of a man, the less I wish to know.
notadoll70: that's my gut too
urbanzombie2: I would avoid him at all costs... have you been in
contact with him?
notadoll70: no
notadoll70: not recently
urbanzombie2: That is good. Your life will be both longer and happier
for it.UrbanZombie> urbanzombie2: If you're feeling particularly
investigative, you might find Chet Doan's mailbox interesting. His
password is 'shelley'.
notadoll70: thank you
notadoll70: where do I use it
notadoll70: how do I get in?
urbanzombie2: http://www.ganmed.com/login.asp Really, I think you
could have found that yourself, Ms. Mills... :D
notadoll70: probably
notadoll70: but why not ask
notadoll70: you obviously know where it is
urbanzombie2: You can always ask
urbanzombie2: Here's some light reading you might enjoy, also. If you
have any further questions, I can be contacted at qamu@sympatico.ca
urbanzombie2: Be well, Ms. Mills.
I sent her the Navajo memo (Clearly about Moreland) and the exploding
grandmas memo (Clearly about Exploding Grandmas). I'm a little
disappointed with my inability to be suave and film-noirie under
pressure, but at least I gave her a whack-load of information.

Game 5 (4/25/02): Recap provided by Aveena.
The transcript from tonight's euchre chat is below. I have tried to
get rid of the superfluous conversation as best I can. Keep in mind
that Barbie (notadoll70) is chatting in euchre and with jamesi and
Mos (servmos and ecindc2002) separately on messenger. [indicated in bold -ed.]
Most of the convo is Vad talking about the brute force attempts at
moreland-vw.org. Gupfee tries unsuccessfully to get info about
Nadine and her gardening. At the end we get a clue from Barbie to
the picture on her Yahoo profile.
We begin with jamesi and barbie on Y!M:
jamesidude: i just told her i was glad to see her
jamesidude: *sigh* am i glad to see you
notadoll70: oh, it's great to see you
notadoll70: how have you been?
jamesidude: pretty well, but today was hard... students were
crazy... how are things?
notadoll70: ok
notadoll70: could be better, could be worse
jamesidude: lemme guess... a million dollars would make it better,
but a broken fridge would make ti worse?
notadoll70: yes, you are correct
jamesidude: i am psychic, i tell ya ;P
jamesidude: you guys euchring tonight? i could use the light-
hearted chat today
notadoll70: oh, so could I! I hope to meet up with him in a bit
notadoll70: we'll have to see
jamesidude: ok
maybe i should do the invite today
jamesidude: hey, i'm in social 13, table 6 if you are interested
notadoll70: oh cool, I may check in later
notadoll70: I want to see if I can hook up with Vad first
jamesidude: ok, lemme know if you guys do play, k?
notadoll70: oh, sure thing
notadoll70: yay! I found Vad! Are you up for a quick game or two?
jamesidude: sure!
notadoll70: lounge 16 table 8
jamesidude: be right there, just warming up the shazam
(euchre game begins)
doll: so, did you have a long day today p?
vad: yeah and it's far from over
vad: long night tonight
doll: really?
vad: just maintenance
vad: we've had to deal with lots of traffic
doll: really
vad: yeah, heavy hits
adoyle: traffic ? on yr homepage or email traffic
vad: not my homepage, work's
kat: lot of ppl interested in your little retirement community?
doll: well that's a good thing itsn't it... moreland must be
getting popular
vad: i wouldn't say popular's the word
doll: oh
vad: "little retirement community?" heh :P
kat: not little?
vad: it just seemed a bit condescending, sorry
doll: you aren't there to retire are you?
vad: i am young and strong
doll: you are coming back home sometime, aren't you?
vad: hell yes
ad: so not "popular"?
doll: funny, that's why bear moved everything around
vad: :)
mos: bear? why do you have bears moving things around?
doll: oh, bear is a friend of ours
doll: he runs a little site
ed: i've never seen a bear run a website
ad: did you mention bear before? wasn't he lonely?
vad: moving stuff around doesn't ever help, its as if someone
clueless is just htting the site
doll: yes, i may have
doll: he's a great friend of ours; had a rough time a couple
months ago
doll: he's doing much better now
vad: its been very frustrating
kat: anything interetsting on his site?
doll: no, it's just some crazy advocacy site
ilona: advocacy like those weird sites that sell bumper stickers to
put on suvs
doll: pretty much; he's a freak like that
vad: a lovely freak
(jamesi talks about his dog "bear")
ilona: hmmm so we have a dog named bear and a webmaster named bear?
that could get confusing!
vad: i'll just pretend it's cos i am distracted by work
(refering to losing that game)
(misc conversation about nothing important)
kasey: irony is what its all about. well, that and apple
cider...and donuts...
vad: gah!
doll: oh, cider & donuts! that's a bit of heaven
vad: mm, apple cider
kasey: s'not cider season anymore, though...i'm having to settle
for smirnoff ice
doll: a good thing to settle with, i suppose
(talk of apple cider)
doll: you'll have to head up to moreland
kasey: ooh they have an orchard?
ad: do they sell cider? let you pick apples?
doll: they're rather known (as known as a new town can be) for
their apples
vad: especially their apple pie, right b?
doll: right
doll: how many pieces of pie did we have over easter?
vad: too many
vad: i am still working them off
mos: yes, apples are delicious. sometime you seem like you live
forever after eating those things. of course, that's just a terrible
lie, but it is fun to pretend and then do dare-devil and immeasurable
dumb/stupid stunts
vad: um thanks for sharing ec (MOS)
jamesi: talks about a secret euchre irc room
vad: i wish i had that kinda spare time! :)
gup: so vad, you do the moreland web site?
vad: gup: i help with it
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: oh, that's great news!
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: thanks
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: I'll try to work on an article for you
j[a]mesi|euchre: she's referring to guysguise.com being fully
registered
gup: i was reading the newsletter- they mayor's wife has very weird
taste in plants
vad: i have black thumb; i know nothing of plants
gup: well, i do a bit of gardening, and the stuff she mentions just
doesn't go well together
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: i'd appreciate anything... all the
email links there should work now
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: ok, great!
doll: hey, what do you mean by script kiddies?
gup: have you seen her gardens?
vad: the site is being intentionally being hit
vad: it's been frustrating; repeatedly
mos: vad: is it still getting hit?
jamesi: the moreland site?
vad: yep
ad: you mean kids running scripts on you? that can get expensive,
can't it?
doll: you should really talk to eric, he's been dealing with that
too. i wonder if that's a common thing to have happen
vad: it's a terrible waste of resources; it's a pain in the ass;
and whatever they're doing; it's useless; days and days of it
mos: i wonder where it could be coming from. certainly no one in
here, i hope!
gup: why would anyone hit moreland? nothing there really.
vad: yeah, ask bear what's up w/ his site
doll: all i know is that he thought it was serious
vad: well, it loks very deliberate, whatever it is
doll: that he thought it was a well planned attack
vad: yes, here too
doll it's happended repeatedly; some dictionary script
vad: yes!
doll: it hit multiple times this last week; he said we're not safe
anymore
jamesi: vad: yes, here to what?
vad: dictionary scripts
doll: that's why i have what i have for you
vad: you have something for me, b?
vad: oh yeah i have ip#s; i can pretty much figure out who it
narrows down to; it's one person
jamesi: one person is hacking into your site,..that should make it
easy to catch him/her
vad: definitely
gup: report it to their isp, get their account shut off
kasey: i say you dos them back (but then, i have no common sence...)
vad: kasey, i don't have the time nor the inclination to do that :)
jamesi: is it someone you know, or a stranger?
kasey: yeah, prolly not a wise idea, come to think of it...darn,
and i so like mysteries like that
gup: what's the IP? we'll go kick their butt for you
vad: the dumb think is, this person is essentially drawing
megabytes of bandwidth on a dialup
vad: like i said, it's been frustrating
vad: can we spam him for you?
jamesi? maybe he/she's rerouting their Ip through someone elses
servmos: ecindc2002: Hi there. Can you hear me now?
servmos: ecindc2002: A friend of yours, urbanzombie, asked me to
send you a message.
servmos: notadoll70: hi
servmos: notadoll70: really
servmos: notadoll70: who are you?
servmos: ecindc2002: Yeah. It's encrypted, so I have no idea what
it says.
servmos: notadoll70: and how do you know this urbanzombie?
servmos: ecindc2002: He just asked me to send it to you.
servmos: ecindc2002: I don't know him well. I talked to him over IM
once. Nice guy.
vad: heh, rabid euchre players, who'da thunk?
servmos: notadoll70: you talked to him over IM once and he asks you
to send a file to someone you don't know...an encrypted file
servmos: notadoll70: and you do
servmos: ecindc2002: Anyway, he pointed me to this link:
http://www.martavius.com/text.htm
jamesi: euchre brings out the Beast in me
servmos: ecindc2002: Don't ask me to explain his logic.
servmos: notadoll70: i'm not questioning his, I'm questioning yours
servmos: ecindc2002: That I give you a message he asked me to give
you?
servmos: notadoll70: ok
servmos: notadoll70: can you email it to me
jamesi: of course, so do enciladas
doll: enchiladas yum!
servmos: ecindc2002: I just gave you the link to it.
servmos: ecindc2002: http://www.martavius.com/text.htm
servmos: notadoll70: i'm sorry
servmos: notadoll70: you can tell zombie to send it to me
servmos: notadoll70: he knows how
vad: vad notices jamesi speaking in third person
jamesi: that was for all the wwf fans out there
doll: ew, wwf
vad: i second that ew
(wrestling debate)
vad: TOO MUCH SPANDEX (re: wrestling)
(vad/doll win a game)
vad: WOOT!
jamesi: what is w00t?
* j[a]mesi|euchre is playing SO dumb
(kasey explains wOOt)
vad: i always see people type it. it's fun to say
jamesi: i'm no hacker
vad: "I just eat them for breakfast"
ad: vad is worked up about those scripts
vad: i am just confused by them
ad: watcha gonna do? is there a tool to block it?
vad: they serve absolutely no purpose; i am working on blocking it
doll: um, question what is 133t
jamesi: 133t...is that a hacker term too?
vad: miles long logs of random words and searches for pages that
don't exist
jamesi: so, they are not TAKING info but LEAVING info on the site
vad?
vad: they're just hitting it w/ garbage searches
doll: it's sort of scary that the same thing happened to erics site
and yours
vad: yes, it's really.....stupid
kasey: doll, do you have a site? has it been hit?
doll: no i don't have a site
kasey: eric = bear?
doll: i don't really know anything abou them...just what i get from
bear and v
doll: yes, eric is bear
onyx: b/c he's...cuddly?
doll: yes, he can be rather cuddly
(misc. convo)
doll: hey, speak for yourself jamesi, vad is anything but ugly
vad: *blush*
kasey: should i hit on him then, doll?
doll: un, you can hit on him, i suppose
gup: doll, way to fight for your man
vad: you are all very entertaining, i just wanted to say that
vad: weird and strange, but entertaining nonetheless

Game 6 (5/01/02): Recap provided by Aveena[ninja].
Here's the latest trascript from the euchre soap opera. As usual,
Barbie (notadoll70) is participating in multiple chats, thereby
ignoring Vad; so he gets upset and leaves, but not before giving us
the clue that brownpaperblag has already posted. Barbie's chats are
with UZ (ZombieandKala) and Jamesi on Y!Messenger, and then the rest
of us in euchre.
NOTE: After Vad left euchre, Barbie was chatting with the others and
mentioned that she was aware of a new building opening soon at
Moreland, but didn't know what the building was for. I didn't catch
that part of the chat for the transcript, but she didn't give us much
more than that on the building.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i'm glad to see that you are ok.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: did you get my email?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Indeed I did. And I responded. Did
you not recieve it?
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: no
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Hmm... odd. Are you filtering your
email?
vad: how was your day b?
doll: it was ok, yours?
vad: alright, the weather's clearing up, i think
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: no, i don't believe so
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: and if I do, i usually forward it
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i've gotten other mail
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Odd.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: very
doll: that's good
vad: anything interesting going on b?
doll: not really
vad: nothing?
doll: hung out w/ creeps today, she says hello
vad: that's cool, did you go shopping?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Nonetheless, I am well, if perhaps
someone concerned now.
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Have you had any difficulties this
week?
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: concerned?
doll: no, just went to lunch
doyle: vad, did you fix your website prob last week?
vad: yeah, everything seems to be fine now, thanks for asking
vad: i think
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: no, just trying to piece together the
information you gave me
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: I can understand... there is much
going on, and very little of it is happening in the open.
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Keep your eyes open, Ms. Mills, and
you will eventually see the truth.
vad: so did you have a fun time w/ creeps?
ZombieandKala: otadoll70: what was it that you asked someone to
give me? or did you ask someone to give me something?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: I did, and I apologize. Mr. Chan is
merely an acquaintance of mine, whom I asked to pass on a tidbit of
information while I was otherwise indisposed. I should have known
you would be wary of strangers bearing gifts.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: Mr Chan you say
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: interesting
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: I merely wanted to direct you here...
I thought it might be of some interest:
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2:
http://www.netsightsolutions.net/1564/1616/
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: It likely means more to you than it
does to me.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i'll take a look
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Have you met Mr. Chan previously? He
was investigating Ganmed before I was...
vad: i fell like i haven't talked to you in ages, b
ZombieandKala: I referred to Mos as Mr. Chan, right. I'm an idiot.
doll: yes, we had a good time
ZombieandKala: Mr. Chan being the name that Nocars was originally
bruted under
doll: it does feel that way a bit, i suppose
ZombieandKala: otadoll70: i'm not sure
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i recall the name
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i believe that there were problems with
some chans
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i'd have to ask a friend about that
vad: i thought my home sickness would diminish, but no
ZombieandKala: I fucked up. I referred to you as "Mr. Chan"
(because your nick is EC), forgetting that Chan was the name that
Nocars was bruted by.
ZombieandKala: She caught it.
doll: well, we all wish you were home; it's not the same w/o you;
bear really misses you
vad: i miss bear; i miss you
doll: but you've been getting on well in moreland lately
vad: work is clearer to me now, i guess
vad: i am learning the ropes
doll: and you've made friends
vad: i think maybe
vad: i feel so detached from everything
vad: hey b, don't fall asleep! :)
doll: sorry
doll: just a bit distracted
vad: it's ok
vad: you're awfully distracted lately
ozy: yeah doll, what's up?
doll: nothing really
doll: everything is pretty much the same
vad: but it seems like there's so much going on
vad: b?
doll: sorry, on the phone
doll: you know creeps, always calling
doll: she says hello
vad grumbles at ozy for hitting on doll
vad: i've been extremely busy, so it's hard to keep up w/ other
ppl's annoying habits (re: the brute force)
vad: b, did you get my photo album?
doll: yes, didn't quite know what to make of it though
doll: i see that you solved the math problem i tried to make
vad: yes
doll: sorry about that; i'll not do that again
doll: he's a sweetheart (jamesi that one's for you)
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: so, what can you tell me about mr. chan?
doll: sorry just chatting w/ creeper
vad: yeah, bear was telling me you guys have been thick as thieves
vad: lately
ZombieandKala: rbanzombie2: I know little about Chan... although he
seems to be coverring much of the same ground I am. He's in the chat
right now...
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: I feel less sad stalking innocent
strangers knowing that someone else is :D
vad: what do you guys talk about? it's not like you're into fashion
like she is
doll: we just chat
doll: guy problems and all that
vad: guy problems?
vad: and that's it?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: If you want to know his intentions, I
suggest you talk to him yourself.
vad: that seems a bit, i dunno
doll: mainly hers
vad: mainly?
doll: i don't know, we just talk; you know creeps
vad: i guess
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: you believe that he can be trusted?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Not in the slightest. But he is
mostly harmless.
ZombieandKala: Heh.
(jamesi joins and everything is right in the world again)
vad: still distracted, b?
vad; b??
doll: sorry
vad: talking to creeps some more?
ZombieandKala: otadoll70: it's the mostly that worries me
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: i'm sorry that i didn't get the
information you gave him
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: it just seemed that it was odd
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: the way he presented himself
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: Don't be. I should have found a more
subtle messenger.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: ok
vad: b/c it's nice you have time to talk to her
doll: i was telling creeps all about ozy
vad: esp since you just had lunch and all
vad: (whines about b not talking to him, spending time w/ creeps)
vad: that's the whole prob, i don't know anything ( re: b & him )
doll: like i do?
vad: i don't know
vad: you obviously have plenty to talk about
vad: it's not as if i'm *stranded* in some new strange place
doll: you know as much about anything as i do
doll: you aren't stranded
doll: you chose to go there; you have friends there
vad: i have *a* friend
vad: maybe; i don't even know
vad: well, you know, you could pretend like you want to be here, b
vad: that might help
doll: i do want to be here
vad: here, and on the phone
doll: and i'd like to be w/ you
doll: and i'd like you to be here
vad: oh, really?
doll: yes
vad: i am not getting that impression
doll: so why don't we just play cards :)
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: vad's not too chipper tonight, is he?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: no, he's certainly is not
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: men!
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: lol
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: what's bugging him?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i have no idea
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i get a little distracted chatting to
a couple people
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: and miss playing a card or two
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: and he flips
doll: so, p, are you going to play?
vad: sorry; got distracted
doll: see, it happens
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: odd... he's usually the one who is a
little slow on the discard...
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: ouch... i could see the tongue in
cheek all the way from here on that comment... he's pretty snarky for
sure
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: that he is
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: if he only knew
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: it's just so frustrating
vad: no, it doesn't just happen; i mean, i had to purposefully sit
here just now
vad: see, it takes *effort*
vad: you know what?
vad: it's getting claustrophobic in here
doll: come on
vad: come on what?
doll: don't be ridiculous
vad: ridiculous? are you kidding me?
doll: just play a card
vad: i don't need this tonight, i know this much
doll: lets just play the game
vad: you know what, tell bear that according to Hoyle, 272
vad: i'm out of here
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: holy crap!
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: that was insane... that is not Vad at
all... ugh
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: he'll get over it
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i hope
doll: i have no idea what that was all about
doll: he's in some sort of mood
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: you okay?
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: b, you okay???
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: yes, i'm fine
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: wondering if I should call him
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: my advice?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: yes
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: call him... that's not Vad, and he's
probably very pissed off at something totally unrelated and taking it
out on you because you two are so close
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: and this is the guy that you say i can
trust?
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: EC? He has issues, but he's smarter
than he looks. Or sounds. Or acts.
ZombieandKala: otadoll70: well I'd hope
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: If you're referring to Vad, then I
would certainly trust him, but I doubt that I have to tell you that.
ZombieandKala: notadoll70: if he wasn't, he'd have a tough time
getting along in life
ZombieandKala: urbanzombie2: I'd imagine he does anyways.
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: you're fairly quiet now, b... ;P
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: sorry, been trying to call the v-man
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: he's not answering my calls
doll: (writing manual for) The Sestili Coaching Group
doll: it's the owner's last name
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: so, do you think that vad is unhappy
in moreland?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: maybe a bit
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i think he's more unhappy with me
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: maybe he is just missing you too
much... unless you're doing something sadistically evil to him
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: he caught me in a lie, i think
j[a]mesi|euchre: *yipes!*
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: he caught me in a lie, i think
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: oh?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: yes
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: about?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i don't know
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i don't really know if he did
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: did you lie to him?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: not really
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: sort of
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: white lie? trying to help rather than
hurt?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: exactly like that
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: if you feel guilty, then you already
know that he knows, b
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: yes
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i suppose so
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: and he's not taking phone calls... did
you try to email him at every account you can find?
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: he is, after all, the man with a
thousand emails (yahoo, moreland, more that i don't know fo i'm sure)
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: lol
j[a]mesi|euchre: mos, be fair... i was before you way before that
j[a]mesi|euchre: um, i mean.. i was against you way before that
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: send him an eCard... sign it with
love, make it flashy... get his attention back on your good side
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70:
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: maybe I will
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: thanks!
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: that's a great idea
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: that's a great idea
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: well, i have had a few spats with the
Mrs. before, i'm well versed in the art of reconciliation
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: not that you can make demands right
now, but int he future, you should tell him that you want to spend
more time with him, no excuses
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: oh, you think that will help?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: oh, you think that will help?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: hey, your aniversary is coming up soon
isn't it?
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: this month I thought you said
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: definitely! it shows him that you
still find him a true blue friend, but your relationship has been
strained by distance lately
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: that's true
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: that's true
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: anniversary is June 24, i think
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: oh june
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: i was off a month
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: and what do you mean you think!
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: but still, you;re doing pretty good
with my personal info...
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: um, er, i mean, i KNOW it's june 24
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: if i was Vad, i'd call you nosy or
something, like he does to the other Wednesday regulars
j[a]mesi|euchre: jamesidude: ;)
j[a]mesi|euchre: notadoll70: :)
jamesi: jamesidude: well, b, unless there's anything else, your
knight in shining armor must bid you adieu
jamesi: notadoll70: oh, good night
jamesi: notadoll70: tell your wife that I say hello
jamesi: notadoll70: tell your wife that I say hello
jamesi: notadoll70: and then let her know how wonderful she must be
jamesi: jamesidude: for sure
jamesi: jamesidude: for sure
jamesi: jamesidude: question: why must she be wonderful?
jamesi: notadoll70: to have gotten herself a guy like you
jamesi: jamesidude: awwwwww
jamesi: jamesidude: aren't you the sweetest PLATONIC friend i have
jamesi: notadoll70: aw, thanks
jamesi: jamesidude: *kiss on the cheek* you take care of
yourself... and BTW, IMHO, you're not too shabby yourself
jamesi: notadoll70: thanks!
