So if you've been in the GCD lately, you've probably noticed these guys around. Apparently they're some sort of supra-secret organization which may or may not exist and is always watching.

...>cough< ninja

Anyway, so they've been creating a bit of a stir what with their mysterious ways, and apparently sending random people 'disturbing' mysterious PMs. I went ahead and checked out their frontman, Coal Wealth, and posted the first bit of Carmina Burana on his profile (you know, the basics whee ) to see what would happen... and they invaded my profile with Latin. confused

So, I'm sure that these guys are nothing more than your average 'we are Legion we are watching we are in control' group dujour, but they're still disquieting the citizens. Any thoughts? Do they deserve anything more than just passing interest?

(The latin, by the way, reads something like "We are Ghost, and we are to be awake, GIB. We will stumble when time is cry, and to take away by force Gaia's tyrant out of a sitting down of cry. If you wish you to undertake our road, we will to weaken you, and the other of GIB", at least according to a translator I found online.)

Meh, they are just attention seeking users. Let them do their little user on user drama and we'll just ignore it.

I think they're just trying to stir things up to increase activity around the forums, you know?

+--I actually thought that as well. Of course, put the word literate on the front of anything and I'll think it's cool. Yes, I am a literacy whore and I accept it!--+

+--Here's a thought. >> We could post an agent in there. Just to check it out. We don't have to be all secretive or anything. Just an ambassador of sorts. You know, so we can have an ally group of sorts. I volunteer. Of course, I'm not just saying this because I want to join. I just think it's our duty to keep an eye on things. >> Really.--+

As much as they probably ARE a bunch of attention seekers, I suppose that's a good idea.

As far as the Latin, I think it's something like:

"We are specters, and we are watching, GIB. We will strike when the time is right, and remove Gaia's tyrant from his seat of power. If you get in our way, we will destroy you, and the rest of GIB."

How threatening. neutral

I've seen them everywhere and now its starting to freak me out. I'm just going to watch them for bit and hope they don't do anything drama-filled.

I replied with some rot13 telling him to keep out of trouble.

I got ahold of one the people who said they recieved a PM from the Specters. Our conversation went as follows:

Hello, Eurytus. My name is Agent 25, of the GIB. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

That depends on what the questions are.

I understand that you've recently recieved a message from a member of a group calling themselves 'the Specters'. Is this correct?

It was last Friday, yes.

Eurytus

Would you happen to have a copy of this message still saved in your inbox?

Yeah.

It's just the vague, psuedo-threatening crap that all the spectres spew; he sent four PMs, his stuff is in black, my responses are in green.


Quote:
I am a Spector, and this, this a PM, addressed to you.


Quote:
And the point of this is...?


Quote:
The point can be anything you wish it to be, just remember, The Spectors will and shall be watching. >:3


Quote:

Is this some sort of play on Mass Effect or something? o_o


Quote:
In a horror story, the obvious philosophy is always the opposite of the solution. Though we are not here to scare or to fright, we would like full cooperation of what my colleagues call 'Take Over'. But do not let that get into your head, just, go with what we like to call, 'flow'.


Quote:
I can tell you have a flair for dramatics.

Just stay out of my way.


Quote:
I am afraid this demand will not suffice. Though your wish will be granted, and this will be my last PM to you, just remember, your are not the first to embrace our text. You will see more of us, multiplying wherever you go. But, do not let that get into your head, a farewell to you sir.

And this was the last you were contacted by them?
Directly, at least.
Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation. Now if you could just look into this light...

As I said, thank you. You will continue with your regular activities and earn 25 million gold through hard work and dedication, then eventually retire into a nice house in Towns. Enjoy your evening.


It's all one conversation, but I had to break it up in order to fit it all.

Well, I translated it as best as I could and I got:

"We are the Spectors, because we are vigilant, GIB. We will strike [as opportunity is authority](When the time is right?), we will remove Gaia's leader out of his [chair of authority](Seat of power?). If you [attack our](threaten us?), we will destroy you and the rest of the GIB."

Well...
That's kinda cool! :'D
...
I mean... bad. Right. *Serious face*

Sounds creepy, yet exciting at the same time. So, are we going to dispatch someone to investigate?
