>>>>>[First I get my date stamp screwed up, then I get random bits of
text attached to the end of my messages, and now I'm seeing random blabs
on everything from vampires' private lives to auctions for some sort of
game cards. Is this last a problem with my link? Or are you guys
getting it too?

***** ENCRYPT: Real World, not Shadowrun *****
(To drop momentarily into the Real World: what's up with all the weird,
non-SHADOWTK, messies I've been seeing coming into the bb room it's being
echoed in? Is it a problem with my echo, or are you guys seeing it?)
***** END ENCRYPT *****

Oh, by the by, I'd like to introduce you to Randi here. He's part of my
new support staff at Virtfun, or he will be, once we get the bugs worked
out. (He's an AI. No, wait, stop gathering the pitchorks to free the
enslaved sentient! It's a computer program that *simulates*
intelligence, so the eggheads here call it an AI, and I call it he 'cause
I named it after some guy who used to work here. Kapisch? Okay.) Say
hi to the folks out there, Randi.

>Hi to the folks out there, Randi.

(bap) You see what I have to deal with? I'm supposed to train this
little goober to cover up for us human types in VirtFun, so we don't have
to have people manning the fort 24 hours a day. He's *supposed* to be
able to run all the NPCs simultaneously, but we're testing him on as just
one. Guess who. I dare you.

>Hello there, newbie! I'm Sierra, the games help admin.

(whimper) I'm halfway tempted to call an airstrike on the whole place...
excuse me while I slink off into a cave somewhere.

>Hey, that's my bed! You can't-- agck!

Excuse me. He seems to have confused the VirtFun environment with
'reality' again. Time to go fix...]<<<<<
