(6:14:36 AM) April (Yahoo): can you can me the download instructions for the latest build? I have the rest of this week and next week off
(6:14:46 AM) April (Yahoo): and I figure I ought to be able to play through once in that time at least
(6:15:07 AM) April (Yahoo): but waiting on Bob is cutting into it, ya know?
(6:15:07 AM) icur_mmm: well its a good time to do it

That's not any proof, but look at the timestamps. DW responded to April's previous sentence at the same time she wrote him another.

One thing that it points out is - if this is fake, someone put an inordinate amount of effort into making it look real. Which would be lulzy too.
I reckon that in some chatrooms, you see what the other person is writing in real-time?

You forgot or don't know that this 'Darth Windu' guy isn't a member of that team.

Also, all the 'convincing details' about him in this transcript can be found from just googling his name, reading his user entry on wookiepaedia and following a few links.

(6:22:47 AM) icur_mmm: and don't leak the build to the internet or anything

Never heard about copy-pasting? Who would type a code?

You can't type the second sentence after the pasted code in 2 seconds. Also, "don't leak the build to the internet or anything" is too damn ironic/funny/you-don't-realize-how-stupid-this-is-as-you-type-that-before-you-paste-the-second-code? for anyone not retarded.

Nah, the timestamps are fine:
- copy-pasting as before
- but more likely, starts typing one message while the other is still being sent
- only takes the receiver's end to have a crappy connection and you get all sortsof shit like that

- if faked, they wouldn't do timestamps like that - would be much more likely to leave predictable, standardised gaps. Weird timestamps like that are really common in ordinary chat/postings, depending on the program, connections etc.


If anything raised my suspicion it was the 2 password process, rather than a combined username/password system (which is basically 2 passes, except you have to enter them at the same time, meaning if one is wrong you don't know whether you managed to crack the other). But again, it is also an odd thing for someone to make up, so who knows. I'm filing it in the 'could be true, might not be, but it's hilarious enough that I'm counting it as true until the folks involved prove otherwise, simply because that makes for a better world than a world in which it was false.

He just typed the second line first, then pasted the code, then cut the actual line and post the code first, and then paste the original first line. But that would take less than a second. :conspiracy:
