I don't know what to believe.

Maybe we're (I'm) jumping to conclusions.

I'm usually cynical, but I don't think Regman is doing anything. I sort of see him as trying to keep both "Sides" happy. You know how it is to be that age? He hasn't become himself yet, if you know what I mean?

I don't think Jake got into Regman's account. me2 was silly and used an easy password (Bad me2!). :-)

I could however see how he could once again break our trust. For some reason he likes those guys.

There's also the fact that, what exactly are we trying to keep him out of here for? We're not really hiding a whole lot that Jake/Donny/Mike couldn't figure out on their own. I may not like them much, but their not idiots like the real lurkers that depend on our discussions to get at the right park.

I just don't know... I see both sides to this one.

I don't think mrpirates was trying to attack ESD, or anyone here. I think he (assuming "mr" means "he") was just using ESD's pic as a starting point for his attack on the cluewriter.
Then again, I could be totally wrong...
In any case, he should try to be a little more careful with words.

I remember reading that post, and not taking it as an attack against ESD>

I can tell you right now that mrpirates is NOT Jake. His name is Tom I believe it is...

THX - I agree. He's a kid yet...and if we keep him out it's like pushing him to the dark side. He has participated in mock hunts all year long and has contributed to discussions with some ideas beyond his years.

He's trying to find himself and we've got a whole year before we'll be discussing clues for the next Winter Carnival Hunt. I don't see the harm and perhaps if we give him a chance to prove himself, he'll surprise everyone. He's spent some time looking up to other male members of the Crew. Maybe we just need to help him find the right one.

Bottom line - Jake got many chances after doing more harm than Reg has even thought of doing. He's publicly stated that he's not a medallionator.

I think you had the drawing of your little guy where he was puzzling over the clues. So that makes sense Kilty.

From Regman:

This is regman, the guy who won the thumbs up from KTs prizes thing (jake wouldnt know that). Ares came with green donuts, and scribe wanted to go drop one.
Ok now you know this isnt Jake. Jake never posted in my name. I just changed my password just to be really careful. Nobody in the planet could guess my new one.

I didnt tell them they could put my name on medallionators.com. I had nothing to do with that. I am a lot different than jake. I am not going to use the same tactics.

Thirdly, I didn't give Jake ANY posts other than the two that caused all that "mole" stuff and that I admitted to a while back during the trent thing (I have the message so you can see them, I picked ones that seemed to be collective ideas and wouldnt show the identity of the poster). I promise I havent given any and I wont. I told him I wont even tell him if people are on the invite. I told him he will never know anything in there from me. Because he was asking me, I doubt he can see the invite.Why would he want to know if he had access??? Dont be paranoid in that sense. I am 99% sure he cant get in.

I really like that kid. He made a mistake. He's said how he feels and I believe him.

How's school going? What's the favorite subject this semester?

I like Spanish and AP Calc (though it does get challenging)

The Church is probably my favorite class
The teacher is cool

Hey Reg

I think I saw you a couple times at Phalen the night of clue 12. I saw AW quite a few times, too. My sister and I were huntin' together. My busy schedule has prevented me from posting much lately, but now that the mock hunting season has started, I'll be around more. I've written about 2 clues for my own hunt, but haven't picked the specific spot yet, so it'll be awhile before I'm ready.

Are you a junior or senior this year? I'm thinking junior, but then time flies faster as you get older so that could be wrong.

Both my kids took lots of Spanish. It's worked out good for them.

So the Church class - what kinds of things are you learning about there? What makes the teacher cooler?

The Church is probably my favorite class

The Church?

What school you go to Regman?

AP Calc AB was the best. BC was boring though. What grade are you in again, Reg?

Reg - I plan on being at Fern's. You going to be there? We could pick you up and take you with us. We're not much into drinking so you'd have a sober ride.

The church is a class that goes through the roots of Christianity and the early Christian Church

My teacher is really funny. He went to the University of MN for undergraduate (I think) and spent some time at Oxford. He also taught a class at Oxford. He is really intelligent yet really funny and easy-going.

Have you started getting advertising from colleges? Any idea where you'd like to go or what you'd major in?

Wed, 02/11/2004 - 7:27 PM Permalink
Terry

You've got plenty of time. Seems the junior year is when all that paper starts flowing into the mailbox from colleges all over the US.

I somehow picture you staying here for college though. You'd not be a happy camper being away for the big hunt.

Some advice: start filling out scholarship apps this summer, I kinda got lazy this past summer and missed a lot of good opportunities for free money. I applied to Stanford, Carleton, St. Olaf, and the U. I haven't heard from the first 2 yet (they mail out in April), but I've been accepted at both of the others.

I can't wait till college.

Ok...

This is how i'm solving the page problem. As of now, none of the Camo crue has given me any information for their profiles on the coolertimes site. Should they get in touch with me or I track them down I will toss up another page just for the Camo crue. In my mind they are coolerheads that would be there for us if we needed them.

As for Jake, I've seen heard it clearly stated by him that this is very much a us you bunch of nonsense. You don't show your love by throwing rocks.

Bottom line for me:

Everything Pay Me and I did this year was so a cooler head could be first to find that Medallion. There are tons of times we as cooler heads could take some piece information and run with it. But we don't do that. We sit and share it with each other knowing the possibilty that it just might be what gives it to someone else in the crew.

having said that, I want you all to know that I would be just as happy finding the Medallion with one of you (if not 10 of you) and spliting the prize.

It's about the fact that we care about the hunt and we care about each other that matters.

If you don't care, then you don't belong here.
