Anyone else received this mail?

Received today. I don't know the sender.

Dear Ron Jeremy



My name is Lord Nelson



I have created a beautiful and realistic map on the civ editor of planet Earth, (as an attachment above)



It is a large/ huge map that has been perfectly made for an optimum of the Earth’s accuracy and gameplay.



It has taken a month of planning and research into resources and cartography to finally finish the Map.



This map is perfect for any global scenario of Earth… etc, so it has almost limitless possibilities!!!



PS - I registered as a User with Apolyton as Lord Nelson, about 3 weeks ago but my confirmation Email has still not arrived, so I’m giving you guys this map right now as the version 1.29f patch has only in the last few hours arrived.



PPS - I’d appreciate it if one of you could post this map on your site as I’d really like as many people to be able to enjoy it as possible!!!!



PPPS - All resources have been researched through the World book Encyclopedia’s, with additional help from Marla Singer’s map.

(although my map is far smaller and better for gameplay)



Here is a little bit of info on the resource distribution:

There was what appears to be a Civ-type attachment, but I deleted it on sight as my anti-virus software is at least a year out of date and I've always found ruthless attachment deletion the best method of avoiding grief.

If any admins are reading, would they check out his registration? If anyone's received the map and he turns out not to be a virus-spreading gimp, how about doing something with it.

What was the file extension of the attachment?

[spartak]

Who knows? Ron probably deleted his memory of it with the file. Now how about a RJ name change - how about to Ass Monkey?

That's brave. [obvious mode] Be sure to update your virus checker first![/obvious]

Don't do it Markos!!!

Btw, doesn't that constitute spamming somehow? Kind of like PMing everyone to get their attention?

It wouldn't hurt, but AV only works against known viruses. It would seem like a lot of work to spread a virus, but then again I think it would be a lot of work to create one.

Hopefully, you can track his IP if it is a virus and turn him over to the authorities.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Why he mailed it to me is anyone's guess, particularly the part about contacting civ3.com. I can only assume he's found about the fact that I'm blackmailing Sid.

[spartak]

blackmailing or porking?
