how would you know unless you purposely used a proxy? IP ghosting isn't unheard of, you know.

As for the WMD, it was in fact a bluff. I hacked a phpbb and set it up on my own server to look like it had been bombarded by something. It was part of the Jellodude affair that kinda backfired back when the Dinarchy and Republic were still at each other's throats.

Everybody knows it was you by now. Different IPs prove nothing; Let me teach you something about logic.

let p := "2 accounts have the same IP"
let q := "behind the accounts is the same person"

!p = "2 accounts have a different IP"
!q = "behind the accounts are 2 different people"

p => q is true in 99.9% of the cases.

p => q = !p or q
!(p => q) = !(!p or q) = !(!p) or !q = !q => !p
and not !p => !q.

Thus, we can only safely assume that, if behind 2 accounts are 2 different people, they will have different IPs, and not vice versa, which is what you claim, albeit implicitly.

... Sorry. As you can see I am very, VERY bored.
Sander, I won't call you a moron because you're very smart. Your logic is correct; however, you are incorrect in that you misinterpreted what I meant when I said "Check the IPs. They are different." I was saying, Sander, that the IPs in my posts (the posts by mbasil) and the posts by your mystery poster are different. Unless my computer has been hijacked in some wild hacking scheme, they will be different.

Ummm...because I didn't? Foghorn, sounds like you need to apply some logic to this situation.

and like he says, the 2 posters having different IP addresses does not prove that they are different people.

Nevertheless, this does not prove you innocent.

You don't have to prove you're innocent though; innocent until proven guilty and all that jazz. Those who accuse you have to prove you're guilty, and I'm sure that will happen soon enough.

Oh, and I didn't intend that message to sound as if I was calling you a moron... I was just trying to be witty.

No, I enjoyed seeing someone apply trying to apply logic to a situation for a change.

Yes, I would actually like for this to go to trial. That way any lingering doubts can be cleared.

I'd like to remind you that Nick is the Steward of Shireroth, and the Kaiser is on an offical LoA. Nick if he wanted to, can ban you for no reason whatsoever as his word is now Law. There is no need for a trial.

Needless to say, this entire thing is a waste of time, and I don't see any need in trying to attract attention toward it.

Once upon a time I really liked Shireroth. I too hate seeing things fall apart over a misunderstanding over someone else's immaturity.

*begins power trip*

Basil, STFU and stop trying to start a war between Shireroth and Antica.

And banning is evil, Bill. I'm morally opposed to it.

So quick to accuse him, aren't we, Nick? Quick to have everyone forget how you betray me... I'm not forgetting...

no, but quick to realize when someone is attempting to exploit the situation.

As am I, and that's what I see you doing here. Being quick to exploit the situation that people are more concerned with who Tgaoth is than your misdeed or misdeeds.

what misdeed? as far as I know I've committed no wrongs. Provide me with proof otherwise and I'll stop asking for this mysterious poster's head on a platter.

You using my trust to aid the Republic by "getting information" from me. Incriminating enough.

Proof, not heresay Delphi. One can put anything they damn well please in quotes, doesn't mean its true.

I have a fucking PM that you sent to Olorix. Words straight from your keyboard! How dare you deny it!

Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:23 pm
by Nick Foghorn Leghorn
and how did you come by this information? did you personally hack the Republican forums?

Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:25 pm
by Delphi
How I came of this information is irrelevant, as irrelevant as who Tgaoth is, in what we're discussing. It's a fact that it's a real PM that you sent, with words typed by you, and that it displays your intent. I need to explain nothing.

I do believe its relivant. If you're going to sit there and try to destroy my credibility I at least want you to cite your sources.

Both of you, calm down.

Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:32 pm

Absolutely not. If I can produce it, what does it matter? Do you deny having sent this PM?

Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:33 pm
by Nick Foghorn Leghorn
It does matter. If you cannot back up your claims with proof, it's best to not make them at all.

This matter is closed pending an investigation by SHINE. Gods know that its better than airing our dirty laundry to the world.

I have proof. I simply refuse to give up my sources.

What is this? Antica was responsible for the mess? Well...what did I tell you in the first place, lol!

And so Basil's plan comes to fruit as old grudges are dug up.

You mean Antica-Avalonia grudges? 'cause I can see it'll go down the same path.

I wan to let it be known that mbasil IMed me last week sounding paranoid about our handling of the Republic and trying to get me to give my opinion on the situation. Then yesterday he messaged me back saying he'd brought his concerns out in Shireroth, etc., etc.

My reaction upon reading the first post was to think it was mbasil, in spite of the fact that he posted farther down the thread (as well?). I think everyone really should calm down.

Relax. Smoke a blunt. Ease off the caffeine kiddies.

Not so fast, buster...

There are quite a few unresolved issues to be discussed here.

Steve, shut up and go home. This doesn't need to be an issue.
