So there’s a new guy on the forums that knows WAY to much about Allegiance drama to be a new guy.  He’s cheeky and interesting, and he’s called “The Hack.”

There are two threads so far, Thread #1 here, Thread #2 here (free forum registration required).

Obviously this is someone “in-the-know,” but who?

Let’s examine his post (I assume it’s a “he”?):

1. He knows of Pook.
2. He understands squads (SRM’s meds, DSM is new and hasn’t won, refers to spidey by a fond nick, “many legged leader”
3. He picked an IB quote (mmmmm)
4. He refers to our marketing efforts (pointing to me)
5. He makes fun of DSM for resigning (rather well done poke too, if you ask me).
6. Has an old man avatar on the forums.

What does all this mean?  Well, he’s not new.  He trolls the forums . ..a lot.  He’s not MW (really, would MW poke fun at himself?).  There has been speculation by badp already that

The Hack = Datanet

Hmmm.  Does this quick to post speculation mean that badp is attempting to cover up his hidden identity?  Hmmmm.

Let’s dig even deeper.

The image comes from a URL on a uTexas server from a username of bump.  Is this one of our Texas players?  A quick look at a frappr map of Alleg players shows a good concentration of players in the state of Texas, but could this just be a ploy to throw us off the trail?  Let us know if you have any more info.  In the meantime, we will keep digging.
