Now to consolidate my hold on the subordinates until i can pull his power structure out from under him in a coup de'tat that would have made Lenin proud.

Note to self: Control the urge to blurt out secret plans.

Stop your blasphemous subversion. I'll have you reported for this. I will not tolerate your attempts to take over.

I don't know, that sounds like a lot of work... and hard work doesn't seem to be very evil.
Why don't we just stick to the tried and true- deny, deny, deny.
 
  • #129
Okay, I'm back now... What? It looks like someone has been at my computer, posting traitorous posts... [wink, wink]
 
  • #130
Oh, well then we should find the cuplrit, and prove that it was them sending these seditious messages, not you.

Yes, we should start narrowing the list of suspects. It must have been someone who knew about our organization...
 
  • #132
WEll they obviously knew enough to know the physical locations of our computers so as to hack into them and access our secure networks. So we're looking for someone with resources, and computer skills. Probably someone operating from an isolated location, where he would be harder to track.
 
  • #133
And someone with a flimsy alibi... like they were alone watching an animated television show.
 
  • #134
No, surely they'd be smarter than that. If they were just "watching tv" we would know based upon our real time rating systems. The sudden decrease in the ratingsof an arbitrary show unknown to us would have revealed someone turning off their tv to go to a computer.
 
  • #135
Of course... unless they anticipated your thinking that they would be smarter than that? Inconceivable!
 
  • #136
Hmmm...

Well I've searched the access points of our organization's computer network. I found no unauthorized accesses recorded at any point. This means the perpetrator was either a member, or had access to a member's terminal. But there are only a few terminals, which narrows our search considerably.
 
  • #137
Wait, I found a clue under the computer desk... it's a small piece of wood... oh, it's a reed... and judging from the size, a saxophone reed... hmmm... who do we know that plays the saxophone?
 
  • #138
I play the saxophone, what are you insinuating? I'll have you know, I'm a victim here too.
 
  • #139
Are you trying to frame me for framing you?
 
  • #140
I'm not saying anything... the evidence speaks for itself.

Besides, what the &$@% do you expect from a group of evil geniuses?

I would expect the guilty party to try to frame the the innocent of framing them!

I'm confused now- are you admitting your guilt or accusing me?

Remember, I have in my possession some private messages someone may be interested in seeing...
 
  • #143
Your sedition has been clearly documented, you will answer for your crimes against Lord Smurf. Tricking me by claiming that it was not you planning this sedition was most dastardly.

You know full well what i am accusing you of! Seditious acts against Lord Smurf, involving an assassination tempt by penguin.


And i have your seditious replies to my sting operation, which are being delivered as we speak.

Does that mean you're about to sleep with me too?
