DEEB ON THE LAMB, SOUGHT BY AUTHORITIES IN DISSAPEARANCE OF JEDI
CITY IN TURMOIL OVER 'MESSAGEBOARD CONFLICT', GEN. KLUV ASSAULTED BY PROTESTER

Saturday, November 24, 2001
By Jeremy Johnson

NEW YORK (AP) -- Local Authorities today issued an All Points Bulletin warning local Jedi about the rogue member known as 'Deeb', for this holiday weekend. Following the dissapearance of one Jedi Frants (who has not been heard from since late Wednesday), Deeb has been sought by the Policia for questioning. A search of Jedi Frants apartment revealed that some sort of stuggle took place, and it seems that the Laptop computer found therein was exhibiting signs of illegal access. An unknown user (possibly the person responsible for Jedi Frants' dissapearance) attempted to use the computer to gain access to the internet, but was thwarted by the use of a password ('ithaca' in this case). Two other Mafia Members, Jedi Sperm & Jedi No, reported hearing strange noises outside of their apartment windows. Sources from the government have revealed that Deeb aka 'Petey' aka 'Schweets' is the prime suspect, stemming from the messageboard bannings of this past week (see 11/21/01). Authorities have stressed that all Jedi lock their doors and windows, password protect their accounts, not to go out alone, and not to respond to any suspicous unregistered posts on the Elevational Messageboard.

-------------------------------------

Activity on the Messageboard swelled this evening with a mass-post attack by renegade mafia member Deeb. Where he gained access to a computer has not been determined yet, and authorities place the beginning of the attack somwhere around 8 or 9PM EST. Posts began appearing on the board in all sections this evening by numerous 'Unregistered Users' (all from the same Internet Address), many of which sported the name 'Deeb'. Authorities were also momentarily confused by apparent posts from Jedirish and Sperm, but upon further investigation, it was discovered that both were created by the banned Deeb. Where was Lt. Duck during these attacks? Many citizens asked the same question and some marched upon City Hall this evening 'demanding satisfaction' at the Watchman's apparent lack of 'watching'. In a statement released by Gen. Kluv's office, the utmost faith was placed in the Messageboard's Head Watchman: "We have the utmost faith in Jedi Duck, and are very proud and thankful for his efforts in this War Against Deebeyism. He has been working quite hard this past week to keep your messageboard safe and free of midget-talk, but there is only so much one man can do. We became aware of the situation late this evening, but as it was a Saturday night--we had no way of knowing that Deeb would strike. --I mean, what 20-something stays home to post on a messageboard at 9pm on a SATURDAY NIGHT? We honsestly didn't consider him to be that desperate. We shant underestimate him again..." Officials also stated that they do have credible evidence that Deeb will attempt another attack within the next week. The urge all citizens to be vigilant, and report any suspicious posts to their local mafia member. When asked how these recent attacks will affect Deeb's 'Temporary Two-Week Banishment', i.e.: possibly extending it; the spokesperson responded: "No Comment."

General Kluv was seen this weekend entertaining the members of the Royal Family, the Queen Mother and Sister, throughout Manhattan today. He posed for pictures while walking through Greenwich Village and was spotted frequenting the stores 'Urban Outfitters', 'H&M', & 'Bananna Republic' with his guests. After seeing an afternoon showing of the Broadway Musical 'The Full Monty', Gen. Kluv stopped to answer questions from the press. While he was giving his enthusiastic review of the show, a protester ran towards Gen. Kluv shouting words "Down with Kluv! Viva la Deeb! Viva La Revoluson!" while he threw a bucket of red paint into the General's face. (The protester was quickly wrestled to the ground by personal security.) Looking shaken, Gen. Kluv was immediately escorted into a nearby car where he and his family was driven off. The Generalisimo kept his evening reservations at Ruby Foo's however, and seemed to be in much better sprits after a delicious dessert bento box. However, there is an unconfirmed report that upon returning to his apartment, Kluv found that his cat had been shaved, and a sign reading "SAUSAGE FINGERS LIVES" was spray-painted upon the walls. Are these actions the work of a small group of unconnected rebels? Or is there a much larger underground sect following the teachings of Deeb? Authorities refuse to speculate, but answers are being desperately saught tonight as many people across the city wonder:

"Does Kluv really have control?"

LOCAL MESSAGEBOARD GROUPIE BANNED DUE TO ANNOYANCE, BOREDOM

By William Zieback

NEW YORK (AP) -- Late this afternoon, at approx. 5:14PM EST, a user known as "DEEB" was banned from the "Elevational Computing Messageboard". This ban comes with little surprise to the regular denizens of the messageboard, as “Deeb” has been threatened with such actions many times in the past. A user known as “Jedi Frants” commented: “yeah, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen. I mean, he’s come close before with all the nonsense posts about ‘Deeb this…’ and ‘supplements that…’—but when he started lacing into the new Episode II trailer? …come on. You know how Kluv feels about Star Wars...”

Owner of the messageboard, “Jedi Kluv” is a well-known Star Wars Junkie. Witnesses reported that after “Deeb” began to speak ill of the new Star Wars trailer, “Kluv” went into a quiet rage. But girlfriend “GiMp” was quoted as saying: “Sure, he was really angry at first…but by the time the 4th hour of back and forth with “Deeb” kept going on, it seemed he was becoming annoyed with the whole thing. He was getting bored, you know? So he banned him. It wasn’t a decision that he took lightly, either.” she said, “I could see he was really torn up about it, but in the end I think he did it for the betterment of the community. I’m just glad it wasn’t me…”

Unnamed sources inside the messageboard have reacted with uneasiness to the banning. “What’s next?”, one source stated. “I mean, if I don’t like the Bills, am I gone too? And we all know how he feels about the Yankees… I just fear where this could lead.” Some believe that “Kluv” is looking to fashion himself as the ruler of the messageboard in the vein of a Star Wars character named ‘Palpatine’, who eventually rises to become the ‘Emperor of the Galaxy, and Master of the Dark Side of the Force’. For now, there is an uneasy quiet on the board. It seems that all are holding their breath. Waiting to see how the situation pans out.

Calls to “Kluv” were not returned, but there was a statement issued from his office. It reads: “We are saddened that we were forced to take this action upon Mr. Deeb today, but felt it was in the best interest of all. We hope that Mr. Deeb takes this time to reflect and realize the errors of his ways. In two weeks, if he conquers his daemons—then we look forward to returning him to the board as a full upstanding member of our wonderful new Utopian cyber-society.”

DEEB STILL LURKING? LT. DUCK SAYS 'NO WAY!'

Astoria, NY (AP)-- Sources close to the Ithacamafia Messageboard, the previously peaceful online community recently ripped apart by bitter struggles for power that ended in one member's expulsion from the board, have reported that no sooner had the aformentioned member been expelled than a new post, signed with the name of the offender, "Deeb," appeared on the board. Luckily, Ithacamafia high Lieutenant Brian "Jedi Duck" Maillard caught the post and deleted it. No one was harmed. Maillard was given control of a major section of the messageboard when it was determined that his lack of job and access to a high speed cable modem made him a prime candidate for the position.

"I was just doing my job," says Maillard. "If anyone tried to make an unauthorized post, I would have deleted it. It made no difference to me that he was a Mafia member." According to anonymous sources, there has been tension in the past between Deeb and Maillard, when Deeb apparently reacted "far too seriously" to a statement of Maillard's. The ensuing argument led to the formation of Deeb's own forum, "Canned-pigs and pickle fingers," by General Kluv, known as the great peacemaker. Let us hope, for the sake of this community, that he lives up to that cognomen.

INCIDENT FELT IN PARTS OF NEW JERSEY, PIT OF STOMACH

Vernon, NJ (CR-AP) The banning of Mr. Deeb reaches far and wide this Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving leaving people shaken, not stirred. It appears that after a full day of non-stop badgering, Mr. Deeb was forced off the board. But how will this be enforced??? At a press conferance held just minutes ago many questions were answered.

Q: "How do you plan to keep him off the board, I mean isn't it possible for him to just log on as a new non-member and post?"

A spokesperson for Kluv responded "Not through his normal computer, as his IP address has been banned, but there may be ways to circumvent the measures we have put in place. Therefore, we have a very reliable man on the job who will, morning, noon and night monitor the board to keep him or anything that might be percieved as him off. All we can say is be careful, always wear plastic gloves when opening your email. Never open anything with a forigen return address, possibly from a land that became popular after a poorly concieved movie starring Sting. But most importantly, if you have 19,20 or 21 year old daughters in the first semester of their senior year of college do not let them out of your site. He targets the easily duped. Remind them of their future and how everything that goes around comes in their hair"

Well thats all from here, now we just sit and wait, with baited breath.

It's All Obi-Wan's Fault (11/18/01)

We were one of the millions of folk to trek out this weekend to partake in the phenomena of "Harry Potter", and it was well worth it. The movie was great, and the whole experience just blew us away at our midnight showing...from the faithfulness to the book, to the casting, to the effects (Quidditch caused us to make our "O" faces...). Seems to be on it's way to a new record opening, and it deserves all that it gets. My only dissapointment of Friday night: the lack of an Episode II trailer before our movie. The new "Forbidden Love" trailer was supposed to be showing before "Harry" across the nation, but it didn't come up before our midnight showing, much to my chagrin. Therefore, I accosted the manager of the UA here in Astoria after the show (2:30am) to find out why the trailer wasn't shown before our show...and his response was that they had FIVE prints of "Harry" showing, but only ONE of them had the Star Wars trailer....

...So, I took my dissapointed ass home, and fired up the computer, where I then proceeded to begin downloading the 22meg copy of the Episode II trailer, and then sleep while it downloaded. I woke up in the morning and ran into the computer room to watch it.

It was beautiful. Everything about it took my breath away. It gives a nice overview of the story that will be dealt with in the film, and it definitely looks much darker than the last film. It's official that I'm now excited for the film. I was trying to hold off and not get all crazy this soon...but...I guess I just don't have much of a say in the matter.

Not much else this weekend, just relaxing and recovering from our Potter exploits on Friday. Watched the new Justice League cartoon on the Cartoon Network this past weekend, and I enjoyed it a lot. Bobo seems to have a problem with Hawkgirl, but as long as she just keeps breaking stuff with her mace, and not talking too much, I'm fine w/ her. Actually, Bob and I almost scrapped today, because he feels that it is completely wrong for Wonder Woman to fly (unless it is in her Invisible Jet). Being the mo that he is, I let it be and walked away before I had to lay the smackdown.

Oh, new mystery link from The Mok. Nicely done as well, and makes me miss the golden days where we would spend hours playing Metroid and Blaster Master. But, I'll just keep hoping for a Playstation 2 this christmas, and dream of playing Grand Theft Auto III over and over again.

Still haven't heard from Rounders in regards to the Mystery Pic...perhaps he had cereberal overload and died. Puzzling.
