But
his was different... After running everything I could think of on it, all I
got was a message feedback loop:

You are smart, but I am smarter. You are smart, but I am smarter.

And so on. This Ganz's gettin' on my nerves. ]<<<<<

Hey, did Doom come up with anything? ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Well, I saw him working on something a while ago in one of his
secluded
nodes... Suddenly, get got all pissed off, and yelled a bunch of German (?)
words I have no idea the meaning of. I suppose that's Teutonic cursing,
eh? Before he left, he gave me this:

My fellow denizens of ShadowLand!

Make no pacts with this devil, for surely as I stand her now, he shall require
of you no less than your life. He shall make you an instrument, a tool, in his
(and his organization's) machinations. Further, exactly what are those
motives? Even if one must deal with the Devil, it is better to do so with one
you know, than one you do not.

Fall not into the trap of Doktor Faust, who sold his Soul to Mephistopheles for
the promise of untold power. True, he did receive incredible ability to
manipulate the metaphysical energies, but the time did eventually come for the
bargain to be concluded, and in that moment, Faust suffered unimaginably
before dying at the hands of his partner. Accept his help, and one day he
shall come calling, and they you shall know what it is to be someone else's
creature.

Doctor Doom

Gee. Doom's feelings are pretty strong on this. ]<<<<<
