The Worlds of Kaomaris

Greets all,

I haven't been on the boards much lately, but I got something in my e-mail box a few days ago which really confused me.

I recieved a set of orders from shanin. I won't post the orders themselves, but I will show the top part:

Your_GM = Funtastick86@hotmail.com
Group_Number = Group#28
Turn_Number = Turn#01
Player_Number = Player#01
Name = shahin

Now, for one I have no clue who shanin is. I also do not have a group 28 nor do I have them in any of my groups. I also checked kaobase and there isn't a single group 28, open or running, at this point. Maybe they just messed up, but they got the wrong GM, Group Number and perhaps the other two as well. They were also unable to add up their total orders correctly, missed by a long shot.

Please respond if you have any info on this new character, as I am way more than a little confused on this whole matter. If snanin is in someone's groups and they want me to forward the orders, e-mail me about it please.

~Funtastick
~GM Andy

Sounds like somebody has saved "skeleton" text file for use with their Email orders - where they have saved the text file with a few of the header fields filled. I do the same thing --- in fact, I also have a similar skeleton file with "Group_Number = Group#28" in the header, but I don't think it's mine. I have checked my recent mails, to Smashface & to Nick, and they are fine.

Assuming that the person has actually played in a game #28, then you should look at players from Nick's #28 Grazada: myself, Baron Roland, Aussie Gaz, XWing, Nestalawe, Nemesis, Thin King, Bryk, Mylantis, Undertaker.

... and it might be handy to return-to-sender, or at least check the address of the sender to see if it gives you any ideas.

Return address is:

selliin@host1.dnspathing.com

Was sent through the AOF sender as it was CC'ed to the database. Any other ideas?

The name doesn't sound familiar to me.

Perhaps it's a visitor that has stumbled into the AOF site and sent something off (you are the first GM on the AOF list, aren't you? so you would be the most likely recipient of such messages).

I think Al and Adam are above me

Well, being the only GM to have run a grp 28, I can assure you that I am not familiar with this shanin and that nobody's orders went astray over the course of that game (Grazada), as far as I can recall. So no help here I am afraid.
