So YOU'RE @AlphaComplex! Very well, all is under control. I shall cancel the HPD&MC Rogue Propaganda Containment Team; hope the request goes through before they find you.
All right-thinking tweeps will of course already be following @Friend_Computer. |

I suspected that was you or one of the other UVs here.
I made some changes last night that should make it more interesting.
1 - I reduced posting frequency by about a post a day (It's all random. There was a 1:4 change of it posting at the top of the hour. I changed that to 1:5).
2 - I added additionally functionality. Now, rather than just spitting out the phrases from the E:Ching manual (with names and such), it will do one of 4 things:
- Pull a phrase from the E:Ching as before
- Harass a random Follower who has posted recently
- Muse aloud about a Trending Topic and it's link to the CMTs
- Provide an encouraging phrase or standard announcement.
I'm much happier with the script now. |

I woke up this morning to find that in the night, AlphaComplex had posted "#iranelection has been redacted and is now considered Unhistory."
The odds of that specific combination coming up are pretty low, about 1:1000.
A little too real for me. |

I couldn't possibly follow @Friend_Computer, Gamma Programmer, as unlike @AlphaComplex it does not appear to available to my security clearance! _________________ For the Glory of Friend Computer! |
