Did you receive a message from a user known as @ dv awarding you a title? Did they say anything else to you, or did any administrators tell you to stop speaking to them?

[insinning]

I did. But Zelkova told me to ignore it when I tried to reply.

[tablescraps]

Did Zelkova say anything about what it was?

[insinning]

That it wasn't a glitch. Then avoided the subject

[Sinclair does pick up on these things]

[tablescraps]

( amogus............. )

Hien intercepted my message chain and told me my account would be placed on indefinite suspension if I interact with this user. He referred to it specifically as a user.

This could simply be a case of an internal actor leaking content ahead of schedule, but the mottled administrative response is unexpected.

[insinning]

That's odd. I didn't even get further than asking 'what?' before Zelkova spoke to me.

...did we start something else by equipping each other like that? Like, create an exploit for someone else?

[tablescraps]

This may be a stretch, but... the extent of the glitch may have ballooned such that it caught the eye of an individual involved in glitches, if @ dv'd corrupted text is anything to go by. They may not be a legal user.

But the fact that they can enable unreleased features makes me wonder if they're more than just a user. A hacker, maybe.

[insinning]

I wonder if anyone else was able to find out anything from the user. It doesn't seem like it's been banned.

A hacker seems the most likely, but why send us these messages?

[tablescraps]

( That's a good question Mithrun hadn't considered. )

I'm asking around. So far, everyone who's said they received a message from @ dv has been someone who was involved in the glitch.

As for why... Revealing themself is risky, but they did anyway. They may have been hoping to make contact. Make allies? There may be something they want to accomplish but can't accomplish alone. It's possible our participation in the glitch made them consider us compatible with that goal, somehow.

[insinning]

Who hasn't responded yet?

[It's unsettling, regardless]

And what could their goal be? They seemed to think we were all good friends. [ Which is weird, because in that pile only Oria and Mithrun1 could be considered his friends.] I wouldn't be surprised if some hacker was doing something on behalf of a company, but they'd have to be really good and have a lot of time and money. And it'd have to be more than one person.

[tablescraps]

By now, I've gotten a response from everyone involved in the weapon glitch. Everyone has encountered @ dv, but not everyone was intercepted by an administrator. Administrator response seemed to indicate this user may be a threat to our systems. Some players reported the individual as childish, and unfond of Hien in particular.

I suspect this individual, or these individuals, may be linked to someone or something higher in the hierarchy than our current administrators. Else, they might have a better idea of what it is. Zelkova's responses seem to indicate that he and Hien were currently unclear on its source of nature, with the resources available to them at their level.

[insinning]

Or none of this was planned and it might be getting out of hand.

The message did seem a little young
