My main thought is the possibility of it being Leonardo. Very thin odds that it's Puck, as MCT has him stapled down tight behind many layers of extremely tight jamming.

Another thought refers back to 10 JackPointers. In that file, it is mentioned that there is someone among the JackPointers that was acting as an inside source for Horizon (the in-game source of the file).

Also, on one of the recent intro splash pages (JackPoint log-on screen), there is a notice from Fastjack that he zapped a sprite that had been parked in the system to track JackPoint. So perhaps the sprite and A. Nonymous are connected (this wouldn't rule out Leonardo, as iirc he has long shown the ability to perform matrix work without hardware).

Putting it together . . . sprite + targeted by Horizon + anonymous posting . . . how about Tam Reyes as the culprit?  Merely a possibility . . .

[Valashar]

Intriguing thought, Longshot. Certainly not impossible.

Just to throw some gasoline/petrol on this fire: Why would Tam Reyes or anyone else at Horizon care about ancient beings?

Hm, well, I didn't know about that.

[Crimsondude]

Of course not. I didn't expect everyone to have SG yet (eventually, but not five days after its PDF release). However, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Still, Charisma Associates is heavily involved in Tir Tairngire, so who knows what they've picked up and passed along . . .

I loved that comment CD, it brought in a whole new "Plan 9" level of conspiracy.

Or even, dare we say, 'Lone Gunman' . . .

While reading through Spy Games I was convinced that it was someone from Horizon, especially with FastJack again bringing up the fact someone in JackPoint sold them out.

But in the equipment section the person asks "Computers are optical now, right? How can they have a magnetic field?" This implies a lack of in-depth tech knowledge which I don't think a Horizon employee would have.

Just an observation.

[Longshot23]

Unless it's a bluff - the poster deliberately going for seeming dumber/more naive than they actually are.  A bit odd, but . . .

I thought Horizon as a whole was more mass-media-savvy than tech savvy, but that doesn't mean there can't be individuals within the corp who are the other way.  After all, this poster has managed to penetrate JackPoint.

[FastJack]

Maybe (and remember, this is purely theoretical), the poster is a *new* Great Dragon. Maybe Earthroot/Root Protector has finally woken up?

[Crimsondude]

Oh, dear God I hope not.

[Longshot23]

Well, there was a 'You-Know-Who' referenced in Shadows of Asia . . .
