Of course you know what that means; You thought you knew where the ICE was, but I swapped the files while you weren't looking! You've fallen prey to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never deal with a dragon", but only slightly less famous is "Never go in against a Technomancer, when death is on the line!"  LOLOLOLOLO

Well, Gun Heaven/Haven has an appearance of our unidentified friend, and well...the quote from A. Nonymous on page 17 of the pdf has me thinking that Horizon is a red herring...or at least a red snapper.

Could you provide the quote?  I'm sorry, but I don't have Gun Heaven and that makes me really curious.

I'm also tracking all of "our friend's" quotes in the first post of this thread to keep everything together.

"The Poster With No Name" is starting to tick me off as much as FastJack, methinks.

And he's still looking to punch someone in the junk.

...

If it's an AI, how does he find the junk?

Hmmm.  Interesting.  Maybe the Anti-Piracy rant wasn't a Red Herring after all.

Is it possible that the Horizon of the rants is not the megacorp? No, I don't have anything to back that up.

I was also going to throw in another nomination for the Poster with No Name, but for now I'll save it up.

What I find funny about that bit on the JackPoint splash page is that it would be a part of the user's MOTD upon log-in. So the quote later in the file that says 'Horizon is good for the soul' wasn't part of the mentioned spam, but rather seems to have been a backhanded response/tault to Jack's MOTD threat.

Basically poking the bear.

Maybe the mystery poster has ingested so many Horizon memes that he/she has to inject corp. blather into whatever they are writing?

Or they're really good at breaking FastJack's security, but not so good at keeping Horizon Viral Advertising out of their own system.  :P
