Posted by: EVLTIM Oct 4 2003, 10:16 PM

He was in a ton of books , with ton of info in his head . Then he just sort of disapered from the source books . Then he came back .
So what all do we know about him besideds his posts ?

Bonus question , Has anyone ever explained how he pulls off the time date stamp trick?

By which, AH obviously means Target: Matrix.

Unless there's also something in Matrix... But the big articles are in Target: Matrix. I think the phrase "high tech mountain man" comes up.

*cough* Damn this old age. Forget my own name next.

By-the-by, Bandit spread his technique far and wide, causing such intermediate and unusual sights as the Denver SOurcebook and VR2.0, until they finally did away with them all together.

And me. It's like puberty. It just happens and there's frag all you can really do about it except complain, then realise you were an idiot once it's all over.

There were a few people who screwed with their timestamps, but he was the first, the most often, and only two other posters ever changed it to something other than null characters (**:**:** **/**/**) Also I believe he was the only one to insert something that didn't fit the character style of the timestamp, IE [Strikes Again! - HA/HA/HA]
