- It's gross

- Also appears to be an SQL interface, I wonder if we could get the SQL server to identify itself so we'd know more about where it's hosted.

- Ok gang, I've run the notification past WB and WB is on board. It's time to ping @redSoloCup

- I checked the ones prior to today and renumbered them

- The new ones need to be gone over.

- Need a hand with that?

- If you wish to do so, please send this message or some close variant to @redSoloCup now:

We recently received information documenting a large RES scraper network. Niantic employees, Niantic investors, Vanguards, and anomaly POCs are identified among those agents involved.

We will release the information sometime after noon on Thursday the 19th. The team agreed that we should provide you a chance to prepare.

We know you're backlogged, so we're going to send this message from several people simultaneously to ensure that you receive it. Apologies for the spam.

- if you do, please ding the bell so we know who all has sent

- Niantic investors?

- one sec

- Ding

- Ding

- Report back if he reads it

- 👍

- Scr33n

- And we know this in a reasonable way?

- heh. really do need a few more people to send that message. If he's 500 messages in the hole, it's going to take a bunch of pings

- yeah

- How many have sent so far?

- 2

- 🔔

- From WB, in response to "What was your motivation":

"We had an agent in the guild that had 74 spoof bot accounts banned in one day. I have never spoofed or any desire to but after that it made me realize that using this isn't that much better. And who knows how many other spoofers are members, or feeding information to spoofers.
I can't change the things I have done by using this all I can do is move forward and play a straight up game from here forward."

- I replaced it with "in professional and trusted roles", I liked the read when @slykens typed it

- oh yes that is good. I missed that edit suggestion from Scott, I would have used it too

- I hit the ground running on 3 hours of sleep this morning

- Does WB ever call you brother?

- So from...

...to...?

- @redsolocup

- @redSoloCup

- No, I mean the language change. It was changed to non-specific.

- That's a terribly good reason. Respect to WB.

- Should come up Andrew Krug

- our relationship is pretty dry :)

- [[👊 Sticker, size 56'338 bytes]]

- I can respect this

- Need more people to ping krug?

- Yes

- @slykens can you repost? I'm out of brain. Or @TheMedellia

- As I settle down for a long winter's site design, I need to know how much we care that ur is anonymous, and whether anyone wants to be identified

- yes please. I'd like to see 10+

It's metadata, in addition to utility

- Channel preview lets you do a lot without joining, including reading messages and seeing a member list

- While reviewing the information we found some people in trusted roles.

- ding

- This is better

- Ding, ding, both TG and HO, where I already had a chat history with him.

- Ding

- Confirmation from WB that all the data she can harvest has now been pushed.

- Ok.

- That's very vague. We at least need to mention that they are resistance agents in trusted roles

- Also this.

- A RES scraper network imp[lies they are RES. :)

- Yes, but it just sounds really abrupt.

- So WB is going to sit back now and watch the world burn?

- Ours to handle from here

- And drink the scotch and bourbon we will anonymously send. :)

- Can we send her marshmallows?

- Can't have a good bonfire without marshmallows

- YES! She deserves some, and a lot more!

- I am working with WB on a method for her to interface the group. Might take the form of a new TG spinup

- Smores would go great with the scotch

- DING!

- good point

- Woah, that kitty didn't even look back.

- "Hello Andrew.

- Lol, I'm not talking to WB. I stuck my neck out enough already

- 👍

- I figure lots of people won't, and that's fine. No obligations, just a chance

- Just got done doing surgeries. Has the die been cast?

- alea iacta est

- oh my god if we can get screenshots of them discussing spoofing...

- The archduke has been shot.

- 🔔

- ok. If anybody is waiting for a response from me on something, or think it's weird that I haven't reacted to something, please let me know. I feel caught up, and that's probably not a way I should be feeling.

- [[GIF, size 121'251 bytes]]

- I was waiting with my favorite gif ever and I missed it

- 🔔 done!

- [[🔔 Sticker, size 29'006 bytes]]

- Count me in

- Maybe that's a better bell-ringing!

- Sent as well

- Double green check means Krug has seen the message, right?

- Yes.

- I'll keep an eye on it.

- ok WB is ready for a TG chat. In order to create the new group, I need at lease one person to add on an initial basis. Is anyone definitely willing to join a group chat with WB?

- Backlogging now

- oh, wait I'm being an idiot

- I'll do it

- Sure, no problem.

- I'm your huckleberry

- There's one screenshot that needs extra censoring

- Sher

- The riot one with a bunch blackouts. The URL is exposing the search

- Honestly, it'd be great if WB can remain completely anonymous. I don't wanna know anything about them, for fear of cracking under torture.

- ok thx

- Can we do that through the TG?
