Desolate: Um...guys...Pfps closed-

ShootCactusGambit: WHAT

theeldestjester: What

SlytherinRules1942: Huh

CagedHostilePigeon: 😳

A_Parrot_Named_Taco: O_O

I_Like_Top_Gun: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Desolate: Magnus isn't even online for this-

Agentneck: Oh look, literally everyone is online at the same time. How convenient.

Desolate: He sent me something in DMs. Lemme post a forum.

*Desolate posts a forum titled "Pfpsarelame's message"*

In the forum titled "Pfpsarelame's message", posted in Chess.org vs. ChessChild

Desolate: Just before he closed his account, Pfpsarelame sent me this:

What the heck does it mean?!

SlytherinRules1942: Is it a code?

Desolate: It has to be. Or else his brother got a hold of his computer.

I_Like_Top_Gun: He doesn't have a brother.

Desolate: Welp, guess it's a code.

In the notes of NYE 2025

Desolate: Alright guys, any code cracking suggests?

SlyherinRules1942: The numbers could be a date, a password, a username (probably for a different site), a reference to a letter of the alphabet

Agentneck: That would be ABCABE so I'm assuming no.

SlytherinRules1942: ABCABE could be a username we're supposed to find.

CagedHostilePigeon: There is an ABCABE on CC

CagedHostilePigeon: He was last online September 11, 2014 though

SlytherinRules1942: TwinTower-911

CagedHostilePigeon: Not the time

SlytherinRules1942: No, the CC user not the event. His new username is youranoob. Maybe there are clues there.

*SlytherinRules1942 checks youranoob's profile*

SlytherinRules1942: He posted a blog titled "How to not lose your pawns" and in that blog there's a link to the Wikipedia page for...walking?

YourAverageObanaiFan: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE

Computer079: THE CLUB WILL GO INACTIVE

ChristmasBird: HELP US

LaggyComputer: ;-;

TomCruise_33: And yet when I get hacked everyone whips out the screenshot mechanic

Noahthecat: Well, this is quite the predicament.

Magnus: Hello everyone!

Magnus: Why am I owner-

In the notes of NYE 2025

SlytherinRules1942: What clues are there in here? Welp, time to read an unnecessarily long article about something everyone knows about.

CagedHostilePigeon: There's something about tetrapods in it. That reminds me of Tetris...

CagedHostilePigeon: Well then we'd have Alexey Pajitnov, who's Russian. Either the dude or the country.

SlytherinRules1942: He was born on April 16, 1955. Could that be important? Brb

A few minutes later

SlytherinRules1942: Okay, April 16, 1955 was a Saturday, it was NOT a leap year, its generation is called "Baby Boomer", the zodiac is either a goat or a sheep (it says both?), and the star sign is Aries.

SlytherinRules1942: Britain's first TV ad aired, Bruce Bochy and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg were born.

Noahthecat: Wait

SlytherinRules1942: Is about TV ads? Do I need to go watch British TV shows?

Noahthecat: It's a date. 12/31/25

CagedHostilePigeon: ;-;

SlytherinRules1942: Oops

Desolate: "Go time" probably means when a plan gets carried out. Something happens on December 31, 2025.

Noahthecat: The DDoS?

CagedHostilePigeon: But isn't that January 1, 2026?

Noahthecat: What if they lied?

SlytherinRules1942: The December 31 thing is happening on purpose...maybe

SlytherinRules1942: And he wanted to say hello

Desolate: Hey Pfps, please give us less-encrypted encrypted messages next time ;-;

Placeholder: Ik it's a stretch, but maybe he's saying he closed his account on purpose?

Desolate: If you're leaving encrypted messages before closing, then you DEFINITELY closed on purpose.

Placeholder: Him closing has a purpose, then.

Desolate: How did anyone ever join CVC? OF COURSE HE HAD A PURPOSE FOR CLOSING HIS ACCOUNT

Placeholder: DMs. Now.

In DMs between Desolate and Placeholder

Placeholder: What I mean is

What if someone hacked him and closed his account? Perhaps to make Magnus owner?

Desolate: How do you know if that's true?

Placeholder: Do NOT tell anyone anything I tell you in DMs from now on. Got it?

Desolate: It depends on if it's of a nature that I would need to report you for.

Placeholder: Dw, I'm not weird.

I'm working undercover with the group trying to attack CC. Either Magnus is the leader or the leader hacked Magnus's account. Someone closed Pfpsarelame's account so he would become leader of CVC meaning he could probably try to control stuff about the attack. StubbyToe is also helping, but I can't disclose his account.

I'm not sure who's sending out the messages in the announcements, but Noah's right. "January One" is a lie. IDK why Pfps thought you'd be able to decipher it, but he tried to warn you. "Hello" means they can see our plans.

Desolate: That's too much info for me to think you're lying.

But how do you know they're not reading our DMs?

Placeholder: That's the thing. We don't.

In the notes of Chess.org vs. ChessChild

Desolate: Pfpsarelame closed his account. I thought it was obvious.

Magnus: Haha very funny. Why'd he close his account?

Reflection: Good for him.

Desolate: What-

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Desolate: Stop.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Desolate: STOP

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Magnus: REFLECTION STOP

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

Reflection: Good for him.

The_new_Josh: I'm having flashbacks to the hacker in Bottom Gun

*Desolate mutes Reflection*

TomCruise_33: Don't do anything, it's a computer virus. The "Good For You Virus" is sent via email pretending to be Chess.com.

Agentneck: How do you know that?

TomCruise_33: I fell victim to it 2 years ago ;-;

Reflection: Don't try to stop us.

Reflection: You won't win.


While formatting Pfpsarelame's DM to Desolate:

Also when writing Reflection's spam, I just checked CVC notes and Deflection had just said "Good for him" for him so I just put that in there XD
