General Discussion

ANN(Azeroth News Network): We are recieving reports that a griffon has apparently hit the Great Forge this day. We switch now to Spanksalot, who is live on the scene

Spanksalot: It seems that the griffon did indeed stray off course and hit the Great Forge. (Another griffon slams into the great forge) OMG DUDE LOOKIT another griffon Just hit the Great Forge! There is molten metal being splashed all over.

Rezmequick: Its a conspiracy. These were remote controlled griffons and this was a dev staged event.

And it goes on from there.

Probably MY fault.  I posted on a known to be monitored miltia website aka ASSAULTWEB.net  that I had a vent server that had arabs on it who played WoW.  I suspect the CIA got word of this "problem" from that post, even though it was obivous that all of those guys were liberals who had no use for radicals.

As I am a contributor on a militia website I really don't care much about being monitored as I was aware that would happen when I got involved.  I do hate the scare tacitics the CIA uses to scare other people.  It's a movement that opposes free thought.

 

Please don't tell me that you really think you had something to do with this... This has to  be a joke.

It has been known for some time that terrorists have been using WoW to train people...

 

 

I hate to say it and it may sound pompous but yeah.  I've been targeted before.  I had people contact me wanting to trade an "AK-47" for a pistol that I was trying to sell.   It was obviously not a legal deal. ...  I don't buy for one second that these guys were militia... no one would be that stupid.....

I'm pretty sure my posts are monitored.

 

If your line is hard monitored, you will hear a faint click on an interval. There is of course other ways for checking to see if your phone is tapped. This isn't the forum for it though.

Your phone line is no longer tapped like it was in the 40's-80's.

It's a direct link with the telecommunications.

How do I know this?

I was training for such things. There is no clamp, there is no crackle, and their sure as hell isn't a guy in a van across the street unless they are doing video/parabolics/heat.

These calls can be monitored from the station via servers and access to the telecommunications server.

Nobody hard monitors anymore.

Sounds like the Minority Report.

Well if I had a boring job like the fellows in the CIA or FBI or whatever, then I too would try to come up with some stupid excuse for playing games lol

Not just Americans.

More bullshit about big brother?

Look. About WoW has about 10 million subscribers world wide. Only the Gods know how many people play video games online total. That's one hell of a lot of "white noise" to have to shift through.

Trying to find even a moderately sized group of of people in all that is like trying to find a needle in a.... great big... stack of... needles...

The government can't even deliver the fuckin' mail. And I'm supposed to believe that they know everything I say over every electronic medium I use? Whatever....

Really tho, who cares if the CIA is patrolling thru any game in an attempt to find terroirst communications. Just think about it a minute, it may seem stupid to you but maybe thats just why they are looking at wow as a possible source for terrorist orgs to send messages back and forth.  If you where planning some kinda mass murder of thousands of non militant civilians where would you hide your communication?? Would you make a website for it that has a huge possibility of getting attention or would you hide it in a virtual world that has connected 9 million people over 100 countries. Now im not saying that anyone is hiding anything in WoW or any other game but I CANT say they are not.  Just think for a second, when 9/11 went down and people started digging we found that government orgs had knowledge of it but it was scattered bits of info over several areas that all pieced together and everyone went nuts blaming the FBI and CIA of not doing anything when they had all the info before hand. Now we are here bitching about then doing just that, looking anywhere and everywhere for signs of something else to come.  So Im thinking we need to decide do we want them to do their jobs and what we asked and try to find the pieces of the puzzle and put them together or do we want them to leave our games alone and stop watching.  Me, I could care less they are looking over the game I am playing, I am not doing anything that will get me in trouble with the CIA, hell i could talk to a friend about smokin some dope and snortin a few lines, and I know the CIA wont do shit about it cuz they dont care.  They arent lookin for dope smokers or anything like that. So unless you are trading weapons and using WoW to hide your communication or you are planning on droppin some more planes on some more innocent NON-MILITANT civilians, i dont really think you need to worry. Hence wtf are you bitching about???
