- the part after / isnt needed

- and takes to a subpage

- yeah

- it wont let me change

- tinyurl.com/brokerguild

- ?

- Playing it straight is likely better in the long run...

- and it gives better name recognition. Which is a thing.

- Back to a previous message, do you think it's a good idea to note at the top of the roster page that all channels are open and jsut because someone isn't listed in a channel doesn't mean they have not been in it nor that they don't have access to it - simply being in the slack means "you are in on it"

- yes

- I didnt buy - but this is a cheap one

- [[Document, size 139'744 bytes]]

- I'm afriad a number of people will say "but I was only..."

- https://tinyurl.com/scrapingfucks

- That's their web page domain.

- no please.

- lol

- anyone can tinyurl

- to it

- but yea

- i think im going to share the original link

- wordpress gives me great metrics as is

- WB says RIOT is offline. If we trust everyone in our group then Krug/Niantic spilled the beans.

- I'm one of those people who doesn't really read links if they are blue... I just click

- Yea

- Niantic

- We have a 38 person group.

- I trust this group, not Niantic

- offline huh...

- We should not engage in a witch hunt but there are a lot of people in this group.

- If RIOT is offline due to the pending release then we might as well push it through and relase as soon as its ready, imo.

- You dont need to engage in a witch hunt

- it was me

- ???

- Someone tipped off someone and I was contacted by NIA ops

- Well we did tell NIA, right?

- Right

- Sooooo... push it now?

- That's an interesting twist that directly connects Niantic to it.

- yep

- charlie wants to be awake for this

- he earned it

- Wait and release as planned

- Yes, even if he hadn't done any work on this, he would have earned it.

- Tried calling him. no answer

- Agreed

- It doesn't matter if it's shut down

- Wow..on the road and just caught up.

- He may be doing actual like, work stuff

- We have it all already

- My apologies for not opening the nia ops release for debate, but it was the right thing to do.

- We weren't going to get more

- We debated telling Krug

- At length I recall

- And it should shut the fuck down

- Too late to argue it but I wouldn't have done it. Water under the bridge.

- Quick, everyone recharge your 11th oldest portal

- We did and telling him was the right thing to do IMO to not blindside him

- πŸ˜‚

- No, Charlie said he was going to sleep and that is good. We're less than 2 hours away from release, go as planned.

- Agreed

- This changes nothing

- agree

- It's all on the sheet and in the screen caps

- Agreed

- its really positive actually.

- They should be panicking

- Agreed.

- And it should get shut down

- Agreed...... riot being down is a good thing!!

- I want to run throw a city cover RTFN

- Is there an objection to my discussing it with our high OPSEC locals? No one in our group knows about it except our TGR locals.

- #WINNING

- This

- I bet they're all running around "do we know how much they know? Who the hell did it?"

- Having WB confirm the time of shutdown may actually be useful

- Yes do it lol

- I'm at work :(

- I think in light of whats happened, discussing it with opsec people now is fine. Maybe a show of hands?

- πŸ‘‹

- I asked WB if there was chatter in the slack about it yet.

- I’d wait

- 🀚

- πŸ‘‹

- πŸ‘ they'd be stupid to do that I think

- I think I'd wait too.

- Let’s wait

- Depends if they think only RIOT has been compromised.

- If someone starts talking about this it says interesting things about their Res contacts.

- @theprevaricator define opsec people

- All ~800 people know is that RIOT is down.

- No free intel.

- Fair enough

- that makes it like 50/50

- Ask WB how often that happens

- Wait

- so lets stay the course.

- Hasn't happened in a year.

- no fucking way
