Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Full of beer and Cheeto's stains.

Hmmm, perhaps we could develop a psychological profile of Mr. News.

Obviously he is looking for attention and on some level acceptance, though he assumes he won't be accepted so just goes for attention by being irritating...

Mon, 02/04/2002 - 10:47 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

He's probably about 20 years old as he considers VJ a specific rival.

He has an interest in the treasure hunt or he wouldn't be here and wouldn't be jumping on people for making off topic posts...

and what's his deal with liquor lady?

Come to think of it though, JC at least had some interesting things to say whereas Mr News is rather monotonous. (Actually Mr. News is starting to remind me of a David Letterman recurring skit).

Mon, 02/04/2002 - 10:51 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

Before the hunt started, someone (i.e. JC) attacked LL for her off topic posts. And then some others like Pennies and such jumped on that bandwagon. There also seems to be a Devil's Den connection. Although it's hard to be sure if they're really all the same person or if one person is just picking up things from another.

Pay attention. It's more than just mere coincidence.

It's right there on the screen.

Go back and look at the facts.

Do a little slogging.

well its already been determined that pennies and jc are the same. was there one more at that time?

Mon, 02/04/2002 - 10:55 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

Yes, there was one more, maybe two more. I can't recall the names offhand but I think one might have been Teddy something although it was a different Teddy than the one who is out of town right now.

teddy fed the fire, but i don't think he was one of the alternate personas. he didn't really attack anyone.

Mon, 02/04/2002 - 10:57 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

And if you think Pennies and JC were the same person, why would you not think Pennies and Mr. News were the same person?

different writing styles if i remember pennies correctly.

Allison Wonderland

I think it was just a matter of taking on a different persona. The points they were making were the same:

  • Devil's Den
  • Attacking LL
  • Trying to get people together for a social event
  • Attacking other people around the same age
  • Not attacking certain people like me.

I see medallion master was "ma press", but he's not Mr. News. MM hated me for some reason and missed no opportunity to attack me whereas Mr. News has never really said anything about me personally.
