Though Ian may have a hand in this, through one of his underclassmen followers, I am hesitant to belive there's a link between Sea Ranch boy and Iain...they aren'y even linked on the facebook.

It's Hellacious Z time!!
If you know that whoever is talking to you online is definitely lying and not Kate Stewart, then who is still a suspect for hijacking the account?
Are Franz and Jake definitely out the picture?
Is Iain still prime suspect?
What about the people from 22?
Is Kate Stewart out the country from what you can gather? So many questions dammit!

I think your thread broke my brain.

I know he's not a pawn of Iain, but I can't get his angle.

So we have multiple people who say that that is not KSwizzle, but this one guy who says it is. This guys background seems credible, but is he legit? The Iain factor may play in, but that would mean he would've gotten to the sea ranch guy, someone who is hip and cool, the opposite of Iain. The best bet is to explore the Iain factor and see if that leads to a dead end. Ultimately nothing will matter until we get another encounter with KSwizzle for another IP trap and one for Iain and get her email. It should be easy enough since Pitbull said he logged his chats, so he can just say the one provided didn't work. Also, is there some sort of convention for the FU emails to figure out what it could be and then cross reference that in the facebook?

I'm confused..

Is this guy you're talking to confirming that the girl in the picture is Kate Stewart or KSwizzle? And how does he know her?

Exactly, what I was thinking: its not really clear by your posts that he has confirmed he's met - in person - Kate Stewart and that is what she looks like.
Perhaps this Iain fellow, has created Kate Stewart a while ago, so you're not the only person to know her.

Maybe, you're the first person to not be fooled! Every other guy thats been contacted by KSwizzle has fallen into some kind of trap when they go to meet her. Then, Iain or whoever the trickster is, uses whatever the finale of the trick is to blackmail (embarasment, maybe) to not say anything.
At first it seems like if all this is true of Iain that he must have spent countless hours of his free time becoming a master of internet trickery. But, in college, people have a lot of free time. Some people spend their free time studying more to get 4.0s in engineering, some people join random clubs, some people become experts of Smash Bros. Melee, most people drink a lot, but Iain spends all of that free time as a powerful, diabolical, expert of internet subterfuge, disguise, and embarasment.

Wow, that was a fun post to write.

Heh... Spider-man... Web searches... That's funny. I should've trademarked that one. Could've made a mint.
Maybe there are TWO Kate Stewart's? It may be odd, but it sounds like a pretty common name. This may be the reason people's accounts of her vary so much.

Or maybe, Iain didn't think this as through as you think. Perhaps he just found some girl's name from FU, pretended to be her and then sent the photo of some other girl to The Pitbull, and once that he got word of him snooping around, he's trying to cover his rear end as much as he can.

Or maybe this could be unrelated to Iain? She could be taking to you as part of some social experiment poo poo or something, or she may be doing her own investigation about the guys at the Sea Ranch, and doesn't know if you could tip them off to her snooping around.

Can't some goons go to FU and see what they can find? Or go to the Sea Ranch and ask if the girl in the pictures is really Kate?

Sea Ranch is more socially elite than Iain. They'd have no reason to play along with him, unless they hated OP by themselves.

I think all we're left with is (A) she's a psycho that you should go SLIP THE D, or (B) she's the one who's in on it with Iain. What other choices are there? She exists, that's her SN, and she IS the pretty blonde she says she is.

Ninja edit: or (C) Account Hijacking. Kind of hard to do, though, to someone you don't know and talk to. And why would this apparent socialite (to some degree) associate with a social anchor like Iain?

Both. And he's a guy that she mentioned several times before in her IMs, who lived at the Sea Ranch last year (where Franz lives now).

Well for some reason it seems like you think this guy may be lying to you guys. Personally, you should have played it like you didn't really know, and sent him a pic with alot of girls in it, but none that were her, and then sent him one with Kate and a bunch of girls and ask him to point her out....But since you didn't do that and you aren't conversing with him anymore, I'm not sure if we will ever know if that last 'yeah' was just a brush off or not....

I dunno, I wish we could all figure this out!

You can't fish too blatantly. If the fish sees the hook, it won't take the bait. Plus, worms get your hands dirty, and minnows are all slippery.

I'd suggest bringing him up (if at all) in remembering college. Talk about him POSITIVELY, and say you think he hated you, even though you told your female friend that he was a good guy, etc. Odds on, if it's Iain, or related to him, that will throw a wrench in their prank: it changes their understanding of OP

EDIT 2: v Or maybe not.

I get drunk and put my arm around all kinds of people all the time. I don't remember 50%, I don't remember 25%, I don't remember 5% of them. It sounds to me now that it is just as likely, if not more likely, that you just have yourself a cute blonde admirer. Maybe she really isnt computer smart. These infinitely complex conspiracy theories seem to be too far fetched.

Tell her you're thinking about going back to campus, get her to call you. If she balks at that just be like, "What's up? I mentioned to Betz that I've been talking to you and he has no idea who you are."

I am waiting for 32 to get back with any info from the girl in the swzzles 8am, even if it is that he has nothing. The whole AIM Express thing is pretty funny though. The OP said swiss cheese was on a times that followed a pattern for a college student, so why use AIM express? Wouldn't she have downloaded AIM by now? This can all be up for conter argument with the whole direcconnect issue, but still...AIM Express...

Could we get someone on the FU campus to go around to different area with a laptop and do some IP logging and see if there are ant patterns or irregularities?

I sort of thought that days ago too, but I figured I was just missing something. Now I sort of just think it's kind of like one of those situations when you're a kid and you think it would be fun to tempt danger and sneak out of your room at 3am and skulk around the house silently so your parents would never know ... But really there was never any danger in it at all and you could have gone walking around like normal with all the lights on and they still probably wouldnt have been shaken from their sleep.

It's time pull a Hunt for Red October moment and turn your submarine head-on into the torpedo.

However, there are currently problems with the FU email server tonight, so she is unable to obtain a class list at the moment, so we must wait. I suggest everyone rest up because tomorrow could be the end. We may be coming to a very hammy conclusion...
