We do not do this for attention.
Not in the way you insinuate.

[dragony]

Obviously you did, or you would have simply posted about it like civilized vigilantes.

[ well now she's just being a jackass about it. ]

[codeoracle]

Civilized vigilantes...

Our intent was not to annoy. Dooku would not otherwise take the threat seriously. If you doubt us and our methods, all you need do is wait for his confession. It will come soon.

[dragony]

Oh? Does this Dooku have access to everybody's private messages?

[codeoracle]

No, but by now he has heard from several that received such messages, as well as seeing this as well. We could not guarantee who would go to him, and so we made sure everyone saw it.

[dragony]

Right, because *nobody* would have told him about a public post on the Network, that he certainly wouldn't have seen himself. Of course. An unsolicited mass-mailing makes perfect sense, of course.

[codeoracle]

We are usually more subtle. This called for something over the top.

[dragony]

Sure.

So then, next time something calls for an "over-the-top" response, go ahead and leave me out of it. Alright?

[codeoracle]

Fair enough.

...and if next time it would concern you?

[dragony]

You wouldn't know, would you? You don't know who I am or anything about me.

[codeoracle]

Well this one took awhile to come about. I'm just putting it out there as a possibility--if you somehow get caught up in it, you may end up receiving something like this anyway.

[dragony]

Pass.

[codeoracle]

I don't make the rules.

[dragony]

Do you send the messages?

[codeoracle]

Not all the time. We are a group, not just one individual.

[dragony]

And your inter-group communication is so bad, that you can't pass a message onto the rest, and expect it to be followed?

[codeoracle]

Our communication is fine. But that doesn't guarantee every message and suggestion gets followed.

[dragony]

So, the truth is, you're incompetent. Got it.

[codeoracle]

Hardly. I simply can't promise anything until we discuss it. They may disagree with the decision to leave you out of it entirely.

We are a group. We talk, and we decide together.

[dragony]

Ah, and of course, my own opinion on the matter means nothing in the face of your "group," who so clearly know better?

Incompetent, arrogant, and inefficient. Understood.

Do not contact me again.

[codeoracle]

[Ah. This reminds her of some of the negativity they received back home. She never liked it then, she hates it now.]

It's not that your opinion doesn't matter...I don't make promises without knowing I can keep them.

My goal--our goal--is not to ostracize people.

I'll do what I can.
