Polybius, isn’t that the one where you have to move all those parrots around using public transport…

I’l just have to go for a little lie down and a seizure now :roll:

Who? Who??

If people are going to go through all the trouble of setting up this hoax and posting under different pseudonym's then it's common decency to learn how to do it via a proxy server...otherwise you're just a bit thick... :?

Not sure if it is an abuse of my Mod status to tell.

Of course it's not. That's what Mods are for! To serve and protect, and dish up the juicy gossip :)
Besides which, it's an abuse of the AUP to pretend to be several different people, so all's fair...

Aye, it's up to you SirClive but shame on the 'established forum member' who set this whole thing up.

I hadn't heard of all this until yesterday when it was 'bumped' and I read through the entire thread but the 'oops I forgot to mention that quote came from my inbox' and 'the boy gave evidence at the trial' completely ruined it.

ah well, it was a nice bit of drama though

Let me guess:

Mr Spoon, Jammy Dodger and Kajagoogoo

Or don't say it includes.... ONE OF US?!?? :shock:

See, you have to tell us now, or we'll look at everyone suspiciously...

CrookedMouth. I love how CrookedMouth, Get_in_Gear, space_ace, Ste Roach and porkpie all end their posts with two blank lines...then their nickname. Berks. (or 'Berk' I should say)

Actually I'm gonna say RivaOni as he's the only one who 'got something' out of this. he scored the 'exclusive' interview with Steven Roach for his bitparade website.

I'd come to the same conclusion, the whole thing seemed a little contrived, particularly when he posted as one person, but put the message as if it were from another.

This as well - http://www.retrogamer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1694 Does Sutekh happen to share the same IP address as RivaOni (who makes an appearance on the second page of that thread) by any chance?.
