[ On new year's eve and new years day, FurryMUCK got hit with a virus program.
It copied itself from descriptions of people, so that when you looked at
someone who was infected, you too would be infected. No doubt more posts
will be made to this effect.  But now you get to see something totally
different.  You will see what went on from the eyes of the people who wrote
the virus itself. ]
 
[ Note: Yozduk was the name of the character who loaded the virus program
online.  Yozduk's comments will be enclosed in {}s, and my comments will
be enclosed in []s. ]
 
[ First a little background on what this virus did.  As stated, the virus
was able to copy itself inside of player descriptions.  But...  The virus
also copied itself onto exits, so every time someone exited a room or
used an exit linked to a program, they got reinfected if they removed the
protection before.  In fact, the virus copied itself onto everything it
could get its hands on.  It copied itself into the room description, so
that you would get infected even when you just WALKED INTO a room.  It
infected all of the room exits it could, and all of the contents.  In
addition to this, it also had a list of all of the exits in the global
environment (for you non-muckers, an exit in the global environment can
be used by ANYONE in the muck ANYWHERE in the muck).  It checked every
single exit and tried to infect it if it could.  If the virus could get
into globals such as 'say' or 'pose' it could infect the entire set of
connected players.  Furry was lucky that this did not happen.  Furry was
also graced with a second blessing.  The program was set up to rename one
of the global exits to something that would gag almost all commands in
the muck from working.  This included commands like @shutdown, which shuts
down the muck, @wall, which is used to give messages to everyone online,
and @name, so that the exit couldn't be removed.  However, this fate did not
occur.
  No matter.  The virus still spread at an alarming rate.  If you were
infected, the virus would make a new set of exits on your person which
would override many of the global exits.  These exits were say, pose,
whisper, page, and spoof; the only ways of getting messages out (aside
from @wall, which only wizards can do).  The exits were linked to copies
of the say, pose, page, whisper, and spoof programs that furry used.
The only differece was this small patch.  If the time was 11:58 pm or
later, when you tried to output a message, YOU would see it but everyone
ELSE who was supposed to see it would not.  In effect, people would think
that everyone was ignoring them.
  There was one more patch, however.  It logged all messages that the
person who used the program saw.  And here is the log file.  Remember!
All messages enclosed in []s are comments by me, and all messages enclosed
in {}s are comments by Yozduk! ]
 
{  Well, I guess that pretty much sums it all up for us.  It's a shame that
there was an unforseeable bug in the page program, but upon thinking about
that and the code that was used, I realized it was a blessing.  It just
allowed us to show how clueless furries in general are.  I'm now actually
glad that that bug was there, and the log which follows should reveal that.
   I hope that you enjoy what is to follow.  It all took place inside of
25 minutes.  I'm going to have to do some research as to why things started
to majorly crash when my character was not online.  Too bad it couldn't have
lasted just a little bit longer.  No matter though, I think that what we did
gather will show all of the furries out there a bit about themselves and
their motives for the entire MUCK experience.  Tinysex runs rampant on that
muck, and I bow before you in taking one step to prevent it, if only for a
short while.  I'm not totally against it, it does have its purposes, but I
for one am not about to get so engrossed in it as to completely forget any
RL sex life.
  I'm sure by now the code has all been listed and people are beginning
to piece together what happened New Year's Eve.  I just have one final
message to all of you furries:

Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Congratulaitons Conway, you spelled

 that night]
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Naneth  looks rather interested.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "same here Karen... I need some

Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny readies his spells for the show..
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I hope it will be a good year!"
[Yeah, not.]
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "Blaze is in the hot tubs at
the party." to Hervystia.
{Gee is that surprising?  This is where all of us were; funny that this room
seemed to be the quietest and just so happened to be infected :)}
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny laughs..
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Fringe chuckles. I shall have
to see what I can do... Got to try to help put up the CANCON of the con." to
Tal_Greywolf.
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "FOX is showing a '92
flashback.  Scary."

outside
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "someone find a station EST!"

Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule reclines back and murrrrs in the
water.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Hey, we're all reclining."
[Leave it to a furry to notice this convient position before anyone else.]
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny turned on the TV!!
[Good Johny!  Now go to your room like a good boy and make your bed!]
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "The people, Blaze.  TV, the
environment."
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "Oh, I was trying to talk
with someone on here, and my brother and mother came in here, and had dinner
in the room, and kept talking, and I was trying to snuggle, and she really
wanted to snuggle, and they just kept coming and going and asking me
questions, and it was costing the other person money to call here. By the time
they left in RL, she had to go, too." to Erratica.
[Looks like Cyberskunk won't be getting any tiny sex tonight...]
{... and aint that a shame?  a couple of minutes without Furry tinysex}
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "1 min and counting."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "wow!! look at the crazy
people. giggle."
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "That's nice Blaze.. it really is."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "then Linux is useless. its for
'386s"
{A decent and possibly intelligent discussion on FurryMUCK?}
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "You still have you magik!
Perhaps you can actually help me then!" to Johnny.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> ( Who's ball? )
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "BABSIE!!"
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Alodara?"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Hell, I need some excitement
in my life."
[ANOTHER tiny sex offer?  Sheesh...  I never really figured out what all
of these people found so interesting about bestiality anyway...]
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You say, "Hi, Babs."
[Whoops!  Here's Cyberskunk again!  His last shot at sex didn't work so now
here is try number 2]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "how many seconds?>"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver gets ready to set his
computer clock.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "Hi, did you try paging me?"
to Yozduk.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "It's 11:59 here."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "20 seconds"
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "or on fury."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin 's player notes that this night is
different because most other people have RL parties to go to.
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "I wanna achieve enlightenment and
explode."
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "Hold on, I've taken quite a liking
to Alodara here and want to see if she wants to come along" to Conway.
[So how many tiny sex offers is that now?  I think we are up to 4 now.
Maybe all these furries should get a life and find something better to do
than PRETEND to have sex.  PRETEND.  But maybe thats all they can get.]
{*shrug* ... sounds plausible to me}
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "seriously, tho, do you recommend
any particular supply houses? (please feel welcome to tout AcuSport here :)"
to Blaze.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "7"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "hello?" to Sevnara.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule grabs the champaigne and cups!
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule passes them around!
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You quietly say, "Its here!"
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule pours!
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "hey, we have three hours yet!"
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "it's done!!!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Yozduk GRINS
[I'm grinning at this point in time as well]
{well put Mr. [] :) }
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule toasts the new year!
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "and here it is."
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Fringe chuckles. "Happy Near Year...."

Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You quietly say, "Happy New Year!"
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule grins at Blaze
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page-mail "Something strange is
going on with you.. I can't page you without getting an error message." to
Yozduk.
[Now there happened to be a bug in the page program with the edit we made.
Cyberskunk needs to buy a clue and figure out that Yozduk is not supposed
to own the page program anyway.  This was the first opportunity for people
to see that there was something wrong.  However, later in the logs MANY,
MANY other people report this bug and NONE of them clue in that something
is obviously amiss.]
{gee, it's a shame that we couldn't have tested it fully outside of the
furry environment, but oh well.  I guess this just helped us to prove the
cluelessness of a few furries}
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Smiles. Happy near year!" to
Japhet and li'ir.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "YES YES YES"
[Yozduk: 1.  Furry: 0.]
[Actually, at this point I'm at 2, since I've crashed furry once before.]
{gee, you didn't mention that?  got a log?}
[No, sorry.  It was a quick hack anyway.  I did it using their guest
character and nothing else.  I didn't even need a wizard to teleport me out
of the guest room.  But it did corrupt the database and cause them to loose
2 or 3 days of work.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin chuckles a bit at Blaze
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> Gatsby chirps, "happy gnu rear!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I love this!"
[This is guaranteed to be a memorable one. :) ]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule grins.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua waves to the future people.
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Happy New Year!"
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Smiles. Happy near year!" to
Japhet and li'ir.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Rocket_Raccoon cheers.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule drinks!
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua lives in the past.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny casts his spells as a fireworks show
goes up high above all of you..
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Happy New year East Coasters!"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver sighs and watches his smurf
dance before him.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "can anyone hear me?"
[Now keep this in mind.  All of the people who have been in the logs have
NOT gotten their messages across.  They were *SO* clueless that they did
not notice that no one was paying attention to what they said.]
{I guess I just needed that final reassurance besides the silence that our
code was working, color me non-furry :) }
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Yeah, you too." to Babs.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Karen_Larson says, "Happy New Year,
east coast folks!"
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Yozduk laughs.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Yeah, you too." to Babs.
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> You say, "and the loudspeaker said..."
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny watches as the fireworks explode into
different colors and spray confetti all over..
[Johnny is certainly watching the fireworks, but no one else is. :) ]
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver sits up, through being
depressed.  He smiles.  Suddenly, he feels good.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel records time-of-death on Grandpa 1992.
"12 midnight, just like all the rest... queer thing."
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You whisper, "one moment" to Conway.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk sings, "It's a joli,
holi-day.."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You say, "Now, don't forget to have ham
for dinner, with Black Eyed peas for lock and collarg greens for lots of Green
money coming in for the new year"
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Gott~ra g/{..."
[Gott~ra g/{?  What on EARTH is a gott~ra g/{?]
{could that be some furry language, oh wait, I see now: 'Gotta go' after
the typos take effect.}
[And who would have thought that 'Master-typer Bobcat' would make a typo that
fubar-ish!]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule BLINKS?!?!
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "*snugs*" to Lissel.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "I can't page to you
without an error...." to Babs.
[Take a look at that... You page, "I can't page to you without an error"
Why did he send the page in the first place?  Rocket_Raccoon establishes
himself as yet another clueless person on furry.  This is the second person
who has noted problems with page.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "oh."
Hervystia at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "why do you ask?" to
Belvedere.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I thought you said Ryoule."
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver 's wings flap strongly,
creating a warm breeze over the hottub.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "oh, howloo there again!" to Logan.
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "What?" to Rocket_Raccoon.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule hugs MAdraRua and lissesll and
dreamweaver and Johnny..
Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "DAMN ROOMIES!"
Qgar at West Corner of The Park> Qgar heads home.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk skates on his grey'n'white
feet, sans blades.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule removes his non global hug thingy so
he can hyug. :)
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a lamp.
Yozduk at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "happy new year all!"
{at this point I just wanted it stated in the logs that I did say happy
new year :) }
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> ( fireworks burst over the park )
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You whisper, "I'm having trouble functioning
here!" to Conway.
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Fringe smiles and and hugs you
tight, boucing up a bit. "Happy new year...Was good spending it with you."" to
Tal_Greywolf.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Karen_Larson says, "Ah, well.  Gonna
wander."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin grins a bit and just relaxs back
in the corner to watch, just another year to him
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "There goes a New Years' gunshot from
the folks next door."
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a towel.
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, ";Smiles. Hpappy new ear.. . and
may it treat you well..." to Mirage.
[And you have a Hpappy new nose!]
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny runs around hugging people..
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Karen_Larson smiles,
murring a little.  "Well, Happy New Year to you, too!"" to Tal_Greywolf.
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hugs a wall.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "ok, let's go"
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny hears the fireworks in the distance..
Lochiel at West Corner of The Park> Lochiel pets Gatsby's uppermost surface.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "I don'tknow, Korthedon.."
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin shrugs to Korth
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "why did you disconnect on
kalaysia?" to MadraRua.
Karen_Larson at Johnny's Living Room> You transmit, "snugs you tighe.  "Happy
New Year!"" to Lyle on your watch.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel ducks as the slug breaks the windowpane,
and rolls, and prepares to return fire!  (kidding.)
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua hasn't the foxiest idea.
{at this point I figure MadraRua realizes something is afoot, since she has
hugged many things including a wall and towel.  It's a shame she couldn't
tell anyone...}
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You quietly say, "Its better than singing Ang
Size?"
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You page, "howloo?" to Logan.
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> You whisper, "are you the origional babs?"
to Babs.
[No, this is the Babs bunny 2000.  It walks and talks and says and poses just
like the real babs, making it the perfect clone!  No one will know the
difference!  Just send $19.95 to ImAStupidFurry, c/o Yozduk & Co or call
1-976-I-Am-Clueless.  Please have at least 666 major credit cards ready.]
[And you thought that a furry would know every single 976 number...]
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> Cyberskunk looks at the soggy, cold
cheesecake on his French textbook, and at the remains of cheesecake on the
green carpet someone else is responsible for.
[Note: At this point, everyone started hugging each other.  An ameoba named
Korthedon made a comment about how s/he wished s/he could hug people.]
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "you can squish."
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "Because it's the new your,
Korht. Would you prefer we kissed?"
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You purr, "some of us don't have lips."
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Ryoule squishes Korthedon.
Blackwolf at Underground Nexus> You say, "Conway, let's go"
Mirage at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Mirage can't spell this year like last year..
must be my accent.
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "You should be expert at it
Korthedon!"
Gatsby at West Corner of The Park> Gatsby chirps, "Rodin.  Friend and
contemporary of Gaughan."
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Sevnara snickrs, you could wrap around
people, Korthedon...

Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "happy new year!!" to Taisia.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "oh no, I can't page."
[Person number 3 who notices it]
{a stark realization, if there were a bug in the say gagger, would Ryoule
have say'd that too? :) }
[Judging by what happens later in the logs, I'd have to say yes. :P ]
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Hiya!!" to Lazuli.

sits down.
Dreamweaver at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Dreamweaver thinks we need a song.
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You say, "Darnit.. Yozduk is editing page."
[If Ryoule had a shread of intellegence, Ryoule would have noticed that
Yozduk should not have been editing page in the first place since Lynx, not
Yozduk, owns the real page program]
{funny, I don't remember a '*' by my name to denote that I was in an editor}

MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You murr, "Yozduk... your cmd-callpage is
busted."
[4 people.  And we (yozduk and I) thought that MadraRua of all people would
at least notice that lynx should have owned the cmd-callpage program, since
we thought that she'd be less clueless than other people]
{guess we thought wrong...}
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "test" to Ryoule.
{I can't help but wondering what he did after not receiving that page}
[Yeah. :)  But you know what?  When I edited the whisper and page programs,
I made it so that you WOULD get output if you paged yourself (or page
#mailed yourself).  So if page didn't have the bug in it, it would look to
him like the page program was working perfectly, and therefore that everyone
was merely ingoring him.]
{oops, I had forgotten we put that last mod in :) }
Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "Happy new year! (East Coast)" to
Lazuli.

Bobcat at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Bobcat's purrs and hugs you
gently as his tip oozes out a lot (to you) of pre-cum" to Sevnara.
{is this routine?  I'm glad its not done but in whispers!}
Rocket_Raccoon at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "I'm getting an error
with cmd-callpage." to Yozduk.
[Now 5.  And STILL no one has figured out that there is something wrong.]
{funny how I didn't get that page until later on.}
Ryoule at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, "sorry. :)  didn't mean to page all
at once." to Japhet and Taisia.
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel goes to Yozduk, "SHHH!!"
{I believe this is the point at which I destroyed my exits in order to speak
to the crowd.}

Sevnara at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You chime "Yozduk...I'm getting an error on
cmd-callpage."
[we are up to 6 people...  6 clueless people...]
{you'd think by now someone would have at least listed the program to find
the error, or maybe to see what was going on.  But who knows, the code wasn't
*that* different from the original :) }
Chris at West Corner of The Park> Chris waves.
Naneth at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page, ", my! There _is_ an Ashtoreth
here!" to Ashtoreth.

cmd-callpage line 43"
{are you sure about that?}
Lochiel at West Corner of The Park> Lochiel supposes Gatsby is distracted.
Cyberskunk at West Corner of The Park> You page, "I'm not getting any page
messages from you. Just an error msg." to Yozduk.
[Someone please give this guy a new brain.  His current one is faulty.
Why is he trying to page Yozduk telling Yozduk that page doesn't work?
And he STILL has not figured it out that Yozduk should not own the page
program.]
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel wonders if EVERYONE here is ignorant of
the New Year's Hug Everybody tradition.
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "happy new year blackwolf!!"

Conway at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Conway hugs everyone.

command to hug rather than the global}
Blackwolf at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Blackwolf  hugs Blaze back
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "yeah.."
MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua waves a hand infrom of Yozduk's
face.
{sheesh, I must have missed that}
Chris at West Corner of The Park> You say, "Remember; wherever you go, there
you are."
Uriel at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Uriel isn't ignorant of it.  He's just
ignoring it.  Different. :)
Welverin at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Welverin shrugs
Johnny at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> Johnny purrs, "come on guys.. say somethin!!"

Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You whisper, "Examime yourslef for a page
program. I think you might be infected. Page action,. I mean..." to
Tal_Greywolf.
[Finally.  FINALLY someone noticed that they are infected.  But it still
doesn't do any good since they can't get any messages out without getting
rid of the exit.]
{well, technically, anyone with a mucker bit could get out of it at this
point since our cover-all global exit hadn't been made}
[Actually, anyone with even a BUILDER bit could do it.  They could just
@recycle the exit and it would be gone, since they own the exits that
were created.]

Cyberskunk at Acme Acres> You page, "If you're trying to page me, please try
leaving me mail, because I see an error message from you every so often, but

who's at the Park."
Fringe at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> You page-mail "I've found a program on
myself, looks to be infections, as well a page action on myself that is liked
to yozduk. It seems to be a sort of infection program. It seems to be spoof
page pose say are now trapped on myself. I have logs of the program and the
actions on me." to Lynx, Shaterri and Tugrik.
[Ok.  Someone has tried to tell the wizards.  But they still haven't figured
out that maybe, just *MAYBE* those exits do something different that the
real programs do.]
{I wonder if anyone had done an @ps at this point.  It probably would have
been a long list judging from all of the people talking}
[Yeah.  But anyone who would have thought to do an @ps would have had at
LEAST half of a brain, so they *COULDN'T* have been a furry!]
{guess you're right... }

MadraRua at Johnny's Hot Tub Room> MadraRua pounces on a BlazeTail!

Tal_Greywolf on your watch.
[Yep...  I'm certain that people on furry are clueless after seeing stuff

everything you say and then gag you!]

[Well color me stupid!  She figured it out!]
Chris at West Corner of The Park> You say, "someone dies."
[Isn't that taking S&M a little far, Chris?  Or are you more into
necrophilia?]
{I don't know what this is in reference to, but it seems Chris knows what's
happening.  With a name like 'Chris' he doesn't seem to be a furry, maybe he
isn't clueless like the others.  Then again, he could be talking to someone
