I have a hard enough time swallowing the number of immortal elves and great dragons posting on a hacker board as it is. We don't need any more.

Hey, man, eternity gets boring. "Ah yes, just got done manipulating millions of :nuyen: ; helped hold back the rampaging demon hordes from beyond; hired some runners to send a naked picture of Halrequin taking a dump to Hestaby as an inside joke running back 8000 years that only 3 creatures on the planet will get; it's Miller time! Frag, I'm out of Miller. Guess I'll drop some more hints on Shadowlands, then toss off and go to bed." |

Obviously not, or don't you think he would have been by one or more of the interested parties, even if only to be sure that he wasn't involved? |

I'll point to Underworld again as evidence that he doesn't know enough to be an IE. Specifically, he didn't know there was a link between Ryumyo and the Triads (among others). Plus he doesn't appear arrogant in the sense of personal superiority, but rather just has an innate hatred of dragons. Also, Harley forgoes his usually wit to lay a plain insult ("DRagonslayer, you really are just an idiot), which I have no recollection of him doing to anyone previous.

Bah, Harley would hold no love for him if he was a downtime hunter, and would be well-served by discrediting him. Notice Harly does not disclaim him. As for any lapses, he might just be trawling (trolling) for information, or spreading misdirection to obscure a future strike.
I like conspiracy ... I like I.E.s ... I usually GM and therefore don't get to figure out the in-game details ... Somebody had to do the downtime hunting ... why not him? :) |

Becasue the poeple Surrig has been hunting have been powerful magicians doing their best to stay totally hidden. Harley has nothing against downcycle hunting... I might even suggest he performed some of his own. |

That's the secret of Dragonslayer's cover .. hide in plain sight. ;) :D
I do think that Harley, if he did hunt at all (which I doubt), would have been quite selective. |

the fact that Dragonslayer is still alive and posting means one of two things: 1) he's a harmless, if reasonably intelligent and fairly well-informed, crank; 2) he's some kind of uber-badass decker (among other possible areas of expertise that relate to the slaying of dragons). however, you never see him posting as a l33t decker or anything else. possibility number 2 is, well, possible. possibility number 1 is not only possible, it's likely.
and, well, hiding in plain sight doesn't work so well, when there's a search on for people who look just like you. |

There's another option. He's a badass sammie, and hunting him would requiere more expenses than the damage he does. Doesn't matter how much he hates dragons, he really doesn't know that much about them.

i considered that possibility, and decided it fit well enough into possibility number 1 that it wasn't worth differentiating. after all, if he's only a badass when compared to run-of-the-mill runners, then he's basically harmless to the guys who might oppose his grandoise plans--ie, dragons.
