[Fri Jul 13 11:37:40 2007] [100] Ardon Clavalis - huge fleet of itani!
[Fri Jul 13 11:38:04 2007] [100] Ardon Clavalis - baout 30 ships!
[Fri Jul 13 11:38:12 2007] [100] Nautargos - where
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:17 2007] [100] Ardon Clavalis - all in artan aquilus
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:27 2007] [100] Nautargos - screw that
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:31 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - Ardon: Nautargos is dieing to come and find you :-) but Arta is too far
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:42 2007] [100] Nautargos - you know where i am?
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:59 2007] [100] Nautargos - and i dont kill UITs unless theyre doing something for tanis
[Fri Jul 13 11:41:11 2007] [100] Nautargos is curious, foo knows where I am
[Fri Jul 13 11:41:24 2007] [100] Nautargos - either hes also in arta, or he's usin an exploit
[Fri Jul 13 11:41:48 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - Nah, Natuargos, I don't know where you are
[Fri Jul 13 11:41:57 2007] [100] Nautargos - yes you do
[Fri Jul 13 11:42:06 2007] [100] Nautargos - you just said it a min ago
[Fri Jul 13 11:42:14 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - ?
[Fri Jul 13 11:42:18 2007] [100] Nautargos - that i was in arta
[Fri Jul 13 11:42:23 2007] [100] Nautargos - im not now, but i was

[Fri Jul 13 11:46:07 2007] [100] Nautargos - looks like foo went quiet
[Fri Jul 13 11:46:20 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - Not really
[Fri Jul 13 11:46:26 2007] [100] Nautargos - im gonna find out how you knew that
[Fri Jul 13 11:46:41 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - [ITAN] know everything
[Fri Jul 13 11:46:50 2007] [100] Nautargos - through lua hacks?

I'm absolutely certain I did not encounter anyone while in Arta (spuck's enterleave script would have alerted me), which makes me suspect Itan has some sort of tracking system in place. I have yet to figure out how they did it, but it concerns me nonetheless.

Nauty - we do not have any kind of "tracking" system. Besides communications that someone may have passed you or whatnot.

And Yeah I think you're paranoid.

Although, with the emergence of system-chat again, it might be feasible to see who's in-system by increasing your verbosity setting. But I do not know this, nor have I tried it.

Naut: I think you misunderstood what was said.

[Fri Jul 13 11:40:31 2007] [100] Foo Fighter - Ardon: Nautargos is dieing to come and find you :-) but Arta is too far

^--- Foo meant "Artana" (where Ardon was located) not "Arta Caelestis". Just coincidence that you had been or were in Arta when he said it.

[Fri Jul 13 11:38:12 2007] [100] Nautargos - where
[Fri Jul 13 11:40:17 2007] [100] Ardon Clavalis - all in artan aquilus

It could be that he was referring to artan aquilus

Doing a dementi:
[ITAN] has not developed a B3 Stealth Bomber with System scanners.
THERE is NO B3 Bomber.

*wagging the dog*

Odd, I guess it was a coincidence...

Weird.

Another man has this to say: "It's Blak! [The now disbanded Black Lance Guild -ed.] Has to be. They're like 50-armed puppeteers, pulling their strings all over the galaxy, steering every one of us toward their own devious end game!"

Nautargos, you ninny :-)

This is rumor control. Let me clear up your misunderstanding with facts >>>.

1) ITAN do not have any tracking system, nor any LUA hacks
2) You betrayed yourself. You confirmed where you were moments earlier. Ever seen the scene where X challenges Y with a lucky guess, and Y basically confirms it by denying it all wrong or by assuming X knew more than they actually do?
3) What I meant to say before the n00b gave away his position was:
"Ardon Clavalis: be careful, do _NOT_ broadcast your position on 100, or a red / a serco / a nasty will come and pirate your ass"
But he gave away his position... so what I meant to say after was:
"Ardon Clavalis: Don't be a n00b, now Nautargos (or X, or Y) knows where you are and they're coming for you in Arta Aquilius"
but I shortened it.... and you read more into it than you should.
4) In a way you could consider this that I made a lucky guess (but it was wrong, as it happens, I meant the other Arta).
5) I'm low-tech. That means, I don't even know how to use an enterleave script. I don't even have a chainfiring bind. I know how to fight, though ;-)
6) Don't be paranoid.
but
7) Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean we aren't out to get you. I can see you ! check your six. And I know where you're homed.
;-)

Obviously the monitoring of Metana unhinged him.
