Activate the self-destruct mechanism the next time someone tries to access your account.

So, I was working on a turn this a.m. when my cell phone chortled. I went and retrieved that cell phone and there was a message on it saying that someone knew my password for my email account.?! I went online and discovered it was Google that sent me the warning. My Google account doesn't amount to much, my browser is Google Chrome and I use Google Earth once in a while but besides that just about nothing. Yet, it was Google warning me that someone was trying to log onto my AOL email account and they said they'd stopped it. It was suggested that I change my Google password, which I did. How Google knew someone was trying to access my AOL email account is beyond me. Anyway, the password I was using is the same password I use for my PBEM against Steve. Do you think it is possible that Steve has my password? Is it possible that besides emptying my bank account that he knows everything I'm doing in this game? What am I to do?

There is no way AOL would give Google info on account status. This is a phishing e-mail pretending to be Google to get you to change your password. It will probably have a built-in trap to detect your new password as you put it in (after it is in, it is encoded so it is very difficult to work out, but during input it is vulnerable).
Try searching virus warning sites about this "AOL password" malware.

Obviously it was from a dead Confederate General upset that they changed a school's name or tore down a park bench with his horse's name on it. I would check canoerebel.

He should be spanked by the Fashion Police for wearing his rock-star vest/skirt in public rather than "on stage and croaking karaoke".

I know I've been a bit lazy not keeping up my AAR but I've saved all the screenshots and info and will catch up someday. Steve hasn't posted in a while but we're still at it, it's 3/22/42 right now and as you might expect I'm totally whooping his butt. Interesting stuff has been happening.

I agree. It is a VERY common scam. The point is they provide a link for you to use to change your - email, bank account, etc. - password. If you make it a solid practice to NEVER use a link someone sends you unsolicited you will thwart their attempt. If you think "maybe this is real, I better change my password" just go to your bookmarks or type in the name of site yourself, but never use their link.

Let's try again:

“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”

Oh, dear, that's not it either. That's the end of "A Tale of Two Cities" where the Scarlet Pimpernel becomes acquainted with the People's Razor.

You all are going to have to have some patience with me. I'm doing jury duty beginning Tuesday (it would normally begin on Monday, but it's MLK Jr. day). I will begin this campaign without doing a playtest to make sure nothing goes wrong. This will be my seventh or eighth campaign PBEM so I should know what I'm doing by now, but I'm more that a bit rusty. I still have stuff to work out and I'll need all the encouragement I can get.


Fantastic¡.jajaja.

It is far far away¡..lets do it again.
