Next time there's a chat

[H Tower]

next time we have an apolyton chat, can we make people use their real user names. Not mentioning any names but a certain israeli spammer tried to convince us that he was DanQ. Not mentioning any names though.

[MarkG]

that is achievable only if you register your nick on DALnet

[Colonâ„¢]

Only too bad that seemingly everyone's name is already taken...

[Paul Hanson]

Well, no-one had taken MingleonarkosQ the Great.

[TCO]

Eli has now registered DanQ!!

[Eli]

And someone was using LTEC.

About the Israeli spammer : No comment.
There was a guy, called DanQ with no op, though he was supposed to have one, and he started discussing with you about Poly's financial problems.
And you believed this!? God...

Err...I made that up. You should do it...so that you can hold it over the admins' heads.

[Eli]

Yeah... But then I'll have to change my nickname on Poly to "settler forever".

[TCO]

You are such a cute spammer. I like your avatar.

its not that i believed it, its just that it might cut down on spam in chat, maybe. the unnamed one will probably just go in there just to spite me

[Colonâ„¢]

Maybe we should assign post-counts to chatters as well, it wouldn't be fair to them if they’d be disadvantaged because they chose to spam elsewhere.

[TCO]

I agree [/science advisor voice]

[DarkCloud]

That chat was fairly confusing: Here's the log I copied (I'm getting my post count +1 for the chat... ARE YOU? )

LTEC was masquerading as mtg

<RED_DarkCloud> How about this eli: "OCCUPIED JERUSALEM - Israel's supreme court ruled Wednesday that a small band of right-wing Jewish radicals could plant a symbolic first stone for raising Judaism's "third temple in Jerusalem's Old City, but not on Al Haram Al Sharif Mosque compound," public radio said. -- More"
<king_Bill> lol
<GBP> So would it be even better with a larger net?
<RED_DarkCloud> I have no idea why this is on a Sci-Fi news site?
<GBP> Does everyone react the way you did?
<EliEli> sci fi? lol
<RED_DarkCloud> Eli- do you know any more news about CGN?
<RED_DarkCloud> Yes, it was on a sci-fi/supernatural/ufo site
<EliEli> CGN? nope

<RED_DarkCloud> "This is just like the OT"
<Hueij> gp, yep, they cut a lot during the 80's and 90's. people on wellfare are down 15% since 1985. And that's a lot when you have almost nothing
<RED_DarkCloud> It's about halfway down the page, Eli
<king_Bill> yummm yes quite
<RED_DarkCloud> King Bill- who are you on apolyton? Just wondering?
<GBP> Just because they cut doesn't mean it's bad. Depends on where you start from, no?
Depends on where you start from, no?
<Locutus> ouch, what a horible colors, DC!
<king_Bill> Supreme Master
<EliEli> DC: I'm Emailing honestreporting now.

<king_Bill> i h8 money
<EliEli> what's AFP?
<RED_DarkCloud> okay, thanks bill
<RED_DarkCloud> Honest reporting- Eli?
<RED_DarkCloud> What is that?
<RED_DarkCloud>
<GBP> So...is that the way it should be? Or should welfare meet all needs (which we've already said is more than eating...)
<Locutus> well, you can give it all to me, Bill Or Apolyton...
<king_Bill> no
<EliEli> what's AFP?
<king_Bill> forible colours
<king_Bill> horible
<EliEli> yeah

<EliEli> Mtg!
<RED_DarkCloud> Eli- who kicked you out of the chat
earlier?
<^MtG> i gave myself away so easily?
<king_Bill> k i dont know whats going on here so im off. Bye
*** king_Bill has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<EliEli> MArk
<^MtG> ok.
<^MtG> i give up
<RED_DarkCloud> Oh, I should have guessed.
*** ^MtG is now known as LTEC
<LTEC> this is really me
<GBP> I prefer to think that it should include the bare essentials...i.e. food and shelter. You can walk to a payphone, you can use a laundrmat...I do that. It should not be a permanent setup (cradle to grave) but bare essentials that leave a strong incentive to change the situation.
<RED_DarkCloud> who here listens to the Apolyton Radio
<EliEli> LOL
<EliEli> Not me
<RED_DarkCloud> Aye do.
<Locutus> guilty as charged
<LTEC> radio?
<RED_DarkCloud> Eli- you have a lot of time, would you be interested in joining a AC-Fiction story?
<RED_DarkCloud> Apolyton radio LTEC, it was accessable from the main page.
<LTEC> my god
<LTEC> you guys have nothing to do
<Locutus> do you?
<RED_DarkCloud> yes. But it's not given by a diety. a mere king reads it- DanQ
<EliEli> DC : No. I cant keep doing things that take lots of time for long, even if they are interesting. See my bad expirience with dip and the frontier
<LTEC> as if browsing the message board wasnt time consuming enough
<LTEC> playing civ, etc
<LTEC> add to it RADIO?
<RED_DarkCloud> 4,1 you can listen to the radio while on the board
<Locutus> yep, that's what I do
<RED_DarkCloud> Eli- have you noticed that despite the
<RED_DarkCloud> Eli- have you noticed that despite the fact more people are on apolyton, less posts seem to be worth commenting to?
<RED_DarkCloud> I don't think I'll ever get to Emperor at this rate.
<RED_DarkCloud>
<Locutus> who cares?
<EliEli> YEah... less ME thread,s
<Hueij> gp, just back...
<Hueij> " You can walk to a payphone, you can use a laundrmat...I do that. It should not be a permanent setup (cradle to grave) but bare essentials that leave a strong incentive to change the situation."
<RED_DarkCloud> I do.
<Locutus> why?
<RED_DarkCloud> I've been hanging around with Jay Bee in the Spanish Civ II forums, learning spanish
<RED_DarkCloud>
<RED_DarkCloud> I know some hebrew.
<Hueij> these things are more costly than your own phone, yor own machine...
<RED_DarkCloud> Not much...
<RED_DarkCloud> Locutus- it's a status symbol
<RED_DarkCloud> I don't post in the OT as much because it isn't counting for anything anymore

<RED_DarkCloud> I know some of the phonetic words- or used to- an aquantiance of mine was learning hebrew.
<LTEC> good for the spirit
<RED_DarkCloud> I seem to remember "Shakah" means shut up
<Hueij> she wouldn't tell if she knew eli
<RED_DarkCloud> and the "sh'ma" was a holy book
