Doing It Better Than Jack


Lonely

Recommended Posts

Call me naive but I don't think it is the norm and portraying it as such will only give people the idea that it is an acceptable means of operating on Planet Bob. It isn't and it shouldn't be. I know alliances do spy but to say that the majority of the world does it leads me to believe that you must hang out with some fairly immoral fellows.

Operating a spy program certainly isn't the norm, but sharing and passing privileged information is. Spying is a tool, like diplomacy or war, to meet an end. It is not immoral in and of itself. Anti-spying sentiment is mainly a communal more that doesn't have much actual substance behind it other than people really don't like being spied on. For better or worse, it happens quite frequently, and a number of the alliances that helped to create the "spying as a casus belli" norm are the ones who used spying to their own advantage the most.

Given that neither Loucifer nor Umbrae shared those logs with anyone, and are both savvy enough not to use !@#$%* or anything like it, it points to illegal means being used to get those logs. I would hope that NSO does not support anything that crosses the line in that way.

Do you have better prove than Loucifer or Umbrae words saying that they didn't shared this logs?

Or that Loucifer or Umbrae are lying/that it actually is on !@#$%*.

thats speculative at best.

If you want to make claims that it was done illegally, this isn't the place to do it.

it seems to me though that you're trying to play the victim card again and don't really care about the legality at all.

*Any* other alliance, no. More than people realize, yep.

Even the first Browncoats did it. Bet people didn't see that coming! ZING!

And, considering I know who supported it when that was happening, I can almost bet I know 100 other alliances that do.

Not all alliances do, but like CH says here, a very significant number do.

One thing I always liked about being in MK government and MK in general was that even though people occasionally disagreed on stuff, it rarely descended into personal rivalries and people leaving or threatening to leave. My 5 months in GPA had more personal drama and people leaving after bitter disagreements that became personal than 21 months in MK. It sounds like NPO is more like GPA was while I was in it.

OOC: the key-logging attack sounds like BS, key-logging would only catch one side of the conversation.

The Lonely Man. for a 70 day old nation, you seem to know quite a lot, and act like you have a couple of grudges (going off this post, and some of your other posts). I'm a bit curious why.

Something else interesting that I noticed after reading these logs, and doing a small google search.

It seems that this !@#$%* site has quite a few internal logs from quite a few alliances, which concerns me a bit. I'm not sure how exactly the site actually works, but I'd be careful if I was leading any large alliance.

If the NPO has evidence of illegal activities by one of my members then I would like to see it. Otherwise such statements mean little to me.

The NSO does not condone illegal activities. I find being placed on the spot over it publicly to be a bit offputting. It isn't like he deleted a privately owned database and was made an IO or anything. ;)

No offense to yourself, Loucifer, or Umbrae.. but if all you have is hearsay that those 2 didn't share the logs anywhere public or private, you can color me unconvinced.

OCC: Not saying that what happenend, but there are some key-loggers that take screen shots in regular amount fo time too. So it's not impossible.

Oh look, one of the first hits is internal Superfriends logs from...today, talking about attacking Frostbite. Edit: or Citadel. Either way they're talking about attacking someone

EDIT: Inventing words isn't cool.

I think you are using the narrow definition that defines spying as creating fake forums accounts and gathering as much as possible from the inside as a common member. In reality 'spying' is better defined as 'intelligence operations' and it includes a much broader variety of techniques.

Do the majority of alliances spy? Probably not. Most aren't large enough, sophisticated enough, to do much more than talk to friends of friends of other alliances. But as I say, not everyone is as innocent as they claim to be on this subject. They are also smart enough not to get caught. As for any moral outrage about it... :lol1:

I am going to assume that these logs were posted today, not that the conversation was necessarily today. Though I could of course be wrong.

Especially considering they were grabbed with a Keylogger ;)

Prove it ?. These logs were on !@#$%* earlier so security isn't as tight as you think. The logs were set to expire so I don't think who ever posted them intended form them to make it to the OWF. I would be willing to bet that The lonely man found them on !@#$%*.

I have found some fun stuff on !@#$%* in the last few mins

Just find out who 'Operation Over the TOP' is...and yeah, that one clearly has been dumped on !@#$%* today.

That log has been passed around for a while now. Still makes me giggle every time I read it.

Does The Lonely Man have any proof actually suggesting he actually got it from a "friend"? Its a double edge sword. I'd trust the word of people well known in the community rather then some angry NPO reroll reject.

I think you already heard something like "innocent until proven otherwise".

Today has been the most interesting on OWF in ages. It is too much to hope that all conversations would be posted directly here, but it sure would increase the interest level of the 'average Joe's' on the planet and might stem the tide of nations leaving.

My my, this statement isn't very diplomatic of you.
