thegreathatsby: i say, old bean, have you seen my hat?
thegreathatsby: in your arse.
thegreathatsby: who is this?
spandexblondex: i think the question is:
spandexblondex: whi is THIS?
thegreathatsby: Gunbound. Do not disturb me unless your sn is spandexblondex and it is precisely 9:22:43 PM.

i give my SN to science, man. i'm baffled.

That last line was an odd combination of a %n and a %t in an away message, and the bot's tendency to translate its own screen name as yours, when sent by the other user.

I am endlessly fascinated by this phenomenon. I hope we stay up-to-date on what's happening with this endeavour.

For convenience, here's the link to the OKCupid profile that someone else was kind enough to post in the thing on your lj. I think I'll direct people here instead of your personal lj. Again, thanks for spreading the word.

I've actually spoken to MrThePlague, and while he appreciates the attention, he is not The Hatmaster. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at ricedoutyugo has more than a superficial association with these bots.

Then why pick it, I wonder? For the sheer randomness of it?

*confused, but intriguied*

You could do me a favor and not link to the stale google cache, if you link to my profile at all. Thanks.

add "hatofdarkness" to the list of bot screen names
it messaged me and before replying i google searched the name, and came up with this livejournal post somehow, and it explained everything
thanks!

sorry... lovethynaber May 14 2006, 03:54:38 UTC

i just realized you didnt want people posting on your personal site about this (i hadnt read all the comments before i posted...)
anyways, sorry 'bout that

Re: sorry... tesseractivity May 14 2006, 17:58:51 UTC

Haha. It's not that I don't want comments. Hell, the last time I checked I had about 240 of them. I just created a community so people could discuss the phenomenon without being limited to this one post in my journal.

I actually really appreciate it when people post with new bot names. It helps me keep up.

So thanks!
