I said something was fucking weird lately.  Argh... this gimp joined in February too

ROFL! that was a good laugh....

What?  More people want to destroy FA?  That's scandalous!  That's unheard of!  3 words come to my otherwise speechless lips:

Get in line.

My only concern was that he said there were three amongst us, unless it was bullshit.  That could have been Woodgrain, Blueleotard and Adamaro...?  OMG the paranoia.

Time to re-do the riddles?

Hmm, Rtd2870 has a hard time keeping his.... interests, under control....

Seemed like it said there were 3 on teh path - as in 3 trying to get in.
Plus, changing the challenge won't do anything. If one "good" person can get in, anyone can.

It's always a safe bet that every faction, including FA, has at least one or two "spies" in it. I have always expected that. I also beleive we have less because of our rough recruiting (even though it's been very loose lately). You have to look at it like this - What info can they give away? a TS serv? big deal. There are only a few things that would comprimise "FA" if known by certain people, and even some of those things are small and not known by many people anyways.

Trust FA... the people who may be too good of friends with others make it kind of obvious... ST1, Blue, Wood...

True, but rebricking would at least stop them for a while - and perhaps dissaude them from carrying on.  Anyways, they couldn't get any important info beyond a member list, but they could still nick our ideas and that pisses me off just as much  Particularly when you guys do such a good job summarising the events

Still, any publicity is good publicity right?

The big problem is that redoing a challenge takes a TON of work, and I really like what Ket put together. The one up now can be changed - That's where the changes come in.

[Anonymous]

Yeah sorry that was what I meant, fresh riddles and all

Edit: The geezer is contactable at least: http://www.thejediacademy.net/show_profile.php?f_id=5719

Ex CotC wannabe, see his posts on their forum about his mic not working etc etc, some BS anyway.  Certainly doesn't look like anything worth worrying, the guy's prolly just drumming interest in his own new crappy faction

[Manic Velocity]

We may need to take the challenge up a notch.  I have a couple ideas of how to make the path a bit more difficult, while remaining fun and intriguing.

This is probably an isolated incident, but if we start to think that we are untouchable, then we're in trouble.  We should always be humble enough to take the necessary precautions to protect the faction.

Nik0, Blueleopard, Ademaro, and (possibly) Woodgrain are four examples of people that tried to take us down from the inside.  Four people in roughly five months.  This says to me that we should probably be a bit more strict in deciding who we accept and who we turn away.  We may also need to make an effort to do a bit of research on prospective members.

Just my 2 $i.

I'm happy to do what I can when I see new members in the Bluepill forum, I'll post here or report back on anything I see that looks dodgy

[Anonymous]

I agree that a thorough (as thorogh as one can in MxO) background check is an excellent idea (in fact in game intel gathering seems like a great project for relations division when there isn't productive RP to be had).  The question is, how would a concept like this be implemented?  Who would be responsible?  Exactly what info are we looking for?  How do we deal with false positive results (assuming that we do a Google search on the user name, come up with a bunch of results on animal porn discussion boards, and then find out that it's a totally different person)?  Just some ideas.

I sent the guy an email. Hopefully he'll respond.

I did some research and all I could find is that he only has one name on the challenge and never progressed. He registered in February and this is his first post. No other names match with his IP.

A "child of the code" could mean that he is roleplaying being a bluepill or it could mean he used to be in the faction Children of the Code. As for being a "believer" of the Angel, I don't know if that means he was once a member or just a fan. Judging by the fact that he only has one username for that IP, I'm guessing he was not a member.
