What you said makes no sense. You not contesting the charge does not prove you already have associates in TSP.


If he didn't have associates, and he is trying to take over TSP, why would he not contest the charges, unless you think he is bluffing about all of this?

It's the only logical conclusion. I mean, he hasn't presented any actual evidence of there being any associates, only implied and implied and implied. Implications mean nothing without evidence as backup, of which he has presented none.

You're right. Perhaps I should instead have mentioned the "border control" legislation that is currently visible only to legislators.

Now run along and find your mole(s), if you can. :P

You mean the one that recent passed voting (in a public forum) and was discussed in the same public channel as your treason charges were at around the same time? Really Cormac, you can do better than that.

The voting forum isn't public. The legislation may have been publicly discussed today, but that isn't how I heard about it days ago.

In any event, I'm not going to give you anymore information to sniff out my associates in TSP. I'm sure you do believe I have associates, and you're trying to bait me into giving you enough information that you can narrow it down. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me whether you believe I have associates in TSP or not -- you will know I have them when I'm firmly in control of TSP and the Coalition is a heap of ashes in the dustbin of history.

It wasn't discussed today. Last time it was mentioned was a week ago. On a publicly available thread, last discussed on 8-25...... A week, or, in your case... days ago.
If you have actual agents, and you were just finding out about the Border Control act days ago, you clearly need better agents. You aren't proving to be particularly impressive or as terrifying as you are making yourself sound, though I find your confidence quite thrilling. And clearly it does matter to you enough that you'd try and goad us into believing you.

This is all just hilarious. Oooooo you have somebody telling you what bills are being voted on! Precursor to the downfall of the Coalition, no doubt!! Meanwhile, on the off chance you do have "agents" in TSP, what exactly is the plan? Presenting a bill to dissolve the government? There's nothing they could do without immediately outing themselves :P

It would have to have been discussed today for it to have been discussed around the same time as my treason charges, which is what Farengeto said. Perhaps you should get your stories straight. And no, it wasn't "discussed" in a publicly available thread on August 25, it was mentioned in passing.

They aren't "agents." They're associates. I don't ever have people who work for me, I always have people who work with me, and I'm happy to accept their help as often as they are able and willing to give it. If some information is outdated, so be it. The important thing is that I have associates in TSP, you don't know who they are, I will continue to build my number of associates, and eventually together we will take down the Coalition. You can believe this or not; I really couldn't care less. You'll believe it when we take down the Coalition.

I don't care if you find me impressive, let alone terrifying (which would be silly in a browser game, in any case). I only care if I'm effective in the end, at which point there will be no denying it. I think you're mistaking my amusement for caring what you think. The likelihood that you will target people you wrongly suspect of being my associates, marginalize or purge them, have a smaller and less active community as a result, and turn those folks permanently against the Coalition -- while still missing my actual associate(s), whom you will not suspect because you have no reason to -- all of that amuses me. And I'm certain it will happen as soon as Glen & Co. ramp up the fearmongering. So please don't mistake my casual game of cat and mouse to mean that I care what you think. I'm just chuckling and sitting back, waiting for you to do a large part of my work for me.

I actually even quite enjoy the mockery, because it will just make my eventual victory and all of you having to eat these words that much sweeter. :P

Oh I blame poor search queries. I (incorrectly) referenced it as the BCO, including that it involved the BC (Border Control) RO power. Knowing I used the wrong acronym I doubt you even know its proper name. Searching for border control would have not shown it. :P
