Survey time!

I need a few reasonably intelligent individuals who can take direction and know how to not be idiots on the internet. Raise your hand if you know how to not be an idiot on the internet! Great! I'd like your help with a thing that may or may not involve the recent interrogations and the results of said interrogations. Fill this out:

<b>Name:</b> I don't really care if you use an alias; I just need something to call you. Don't screw with me because I'll know. <b>Age:</b> No teenagers with attitude, please, the entire point of this is to not be an idiot on the internet. <b>Are you a frequent user of social networks?</b> Yes/No <b>Do you consider yourself well-versed in technology?</b> Yes/No, elaborate if necessary. <b>Define 'proxy' in the context of not being an idiot on the internet:</b> No hints.

That's it, that's all you have to do! Easy, right? Also, if anyone has any knowledge of how much technological fire/brainpower the "enemy" is packing (i.e. do they employ hackers!? How good are the hackers?! etc. etc.), that's a thing I'd like to know.

I'm sure there are some of you who might find this incredibly vague and possibly suspicious, so hello, I'm Wheatley, I've been on this network for a few months now and I haven't done anything stupid with regards to keeping it a secret. I do computer things, if anyone ever needs any computer things.

Perfect, love it. How do you feel about helping us invent some fake internet people?

[dododo]

Depends on the purpose.

[epimethean]

Stalling the cops who want names, mostly.

[dododo]

Ah.

Good idea. But proxies aren't necessarily completely safe, are they?

[epimethean]

They're not, no. But we have enough tech-savvy types to reduce a lot of those risks, I hope.

[dododo]

We probably do. Well, in that case, I suppose you can count me in.

[epimethean]

Excellent. I'll be in touch!

[dododo]

Fantastic.
