So here's what happened...

One day in late May of 2004 I was browsing my Elfwood pages to look at comments and whatnot and I happened upon a comment in my Fanart section. The post was made in my comments on my Master Tonberry picture. The message was from a girl, who later became a friend, and her name is Tihana. She left a link in the message that took me to Mediaminer.org and to my dismay, someone had taken a good portion Fof my fanart and was claiming it as their own.

Enter Paine.

At that point though, I didn't know exactly who she was, so I didn't know I'd seen her before. I just thought she was some tarded thief that I could report, have removed and let it go at that. But I started digging and then I started to find other places where my art was being claimed, seemingly by the same person. I tried talking to the thief and asked her to remove my stuff and leave me alone, but we all know how that turned out. :P

After I'd been digging for a while I got fairly pissed because my art was popping up all over the place. She cropped my name off of the picture, or covered it up with her own horrid little signature. I used common knowledge and a little thing called Google to search her out and stop her by contacting admins of the sites she was on, but I suddenly had an epiphony when I discovered her personal site hosted by Angelfire. The information I found there led me to believe that she was the same Paine from Elftown. This [Paine]. I remembered that she had entered into a Final Fantasy contest that I had entered as well. I could tell because she had the same cosplay pictures of herself, in a White Mage Paine costume, as the person in the contest on Elftown. I knew then that this was where she had stolen them from. Not from my Elfwood gallery, but from the contest. Then I remembered, she was kicked out of the contest about a week earlier for art theft. I didn't think to report her to the Elftown guards, seeing as though she wasn't posting any of my work here, and I had only been on Elftown for a few months so I was fairly new here. You can imagine my anger of not being able to do much of anything. She, at that point had started to call herself "Dismal Chocobo" and started posting my Dismal Chocobo all over the place. She made e-mail accounts named after it, AIM and other Instant Messager accounts named after it, forum accounts, art gallery accounts and more, all named after my chocobo. She completely took that from me. Here is the type of comments that she was making when being complemented for my artwork:

"Thanks. I'm glad you like my work. ^^ I worked very hard on it and I'm glad you like it."

"Thank you. I've been drawing for years and I'm happy that you like my art."

"Thanks. My chocobo is very special to me."

When I heard people complement her on something that I'd worked on so hard, and then read those sorts of comments coming from her, it completely tore me apart. I felt helpless and violated and most of all appauled that someone could do this to another person constantly without remorse or any sort of conscience. In short, I became depressed for a while, but I wasn't about to give up.

Then came the cavalry...

After I found out about Paine on Elftown and after she started taking my chocobo, I started talking to Tihana through e-mails and got some info on the real Paine, who's legal name I will not say here. (To see what Tihana went through with this girl, see the document entitled "History of Paine" at the end of the page.) I then decided that I could not battle this thief alone. I went on my journal and made a post about it. I got a huge amount of feedback on it to my surprise. Suddenly, instead of two eyes watching Paine, there were twenty or more. If it weren't for the friends that I'd made through that post, I don't think I'd still be sane today, or posting art online at all for that matter. They helped me find her in places where I never would have looked and I learned a lot from them.

The only problem with them posting information in my journal comments was that Paine could see the tips and would immediately go and remove everything before I, or anyone else, could do anything about it.

That really sucked. X3

Out of spite, I suppose, she'd also copy my journal entries, which were all about how she's been stealing my work, and put them in her "Dismalchocobo" LiveJournal, almost, if not completely word for word. She'd twist a few words and names around in her favor to make it seem like I was the thief. She also tried to turn the journal into a gallery full of my dragon art. That's right. She moved on to my Fantasy section. I contacted the LiveJournal abuse team about that, but they gave me grief about copyright, but my art was still taken off of there.

Sometime around mid to late June, we agreed that we should make an online community to store all this information privately so we could catch her red-handed, so to speak, without her running to remove everything. I then founded "StaceyHaters," a LiveJournal community, which was originally open to everyone to join because I needed all the help I could get. But she eventually found that so I had to make it into a "friends only" community in which only I could add people to the group and only those in the group could read the posts. Right after we went private access, we found her in a forum called "Initial Forums" and she was under the name Paine. We reported her and she was banned, with her account removed completely, and the head adiminstrator of the site, Hokojirou, joined our group. It had Paine very paranoid considering Hokojirou was a friend of hers until he learned of her thievery.

Everything was going fine in the LiveJournal community until we had the suspicion that we had a mole in our group. Paine began removing the evidence before we could report her again. It was very possible that we had a mole because we weren't all too organized in the beginning, but finally we rooted out the person, and Paine became very paranoid again since she was, once again, cut off. So, she reported StaceyHaters to the LiveJournal abuse team for harassment. She also reported me because I had used her real name in some of my journal entries. I also had to remove her e-mails and IM addresses from my LiveJournal bio. That wasn't so bad, but StaceyHaters was gone. Deleted. Erased. I did manage to get the information back in a backup file that LiveJournal keeps of all deleted communities, but it was all a garbled mess.

Our base of operations was decimated. :/
<img:stuff/AFADivider>

But sometimes change is good...

Luckily, we had been talking about moving our group to a more secure location and I took lots of notes. Heh, imagine that. We moved onto a friend's webspace where we knew we couldn't be reported. We didn't publicise this location at all and went back to our normal routine. We kept it VERY hush hush. But while the new place was being set up, we made another LiveJournal community as a sort of fake StaceyHaters. We made it friends only, and named the community "Anti-Pain." We only posted a few things to do with Paine in there, and all the other stuff was just about accidents and stuff that we had when we were kids. But we did that so she'd look stupid when she reported it. ;3 It'd also discredit her for any future reports, plus it'd just plain piss her off, which is always fun. The community is still there, just rather dead.

Once our new place was ready with password protection two different ways, we continued to find her and get her kicked off of websites and everyone threw in what they remembered from the bygone "StaceyHaters" haven.

At this point, it had been a good month or so since she first began stealing from me, so by all logic she had quite a long string of bans behind her even then. E-mails to admins were getting quite long. I wrote out a general "ban report" letter to copy and paste into e-mails to save time. This was a life saver, considering I was sending two to three, maybe even more of them out every day.

I also began to notice that she was moving into forums and posting my art but not only my art. She was posting art of all different styles and levels of skill, yet she was still claiming to be the original artist of them all. What surprised me even more was that there actually were people out there dumb enough to believe that she had created all of those artworks. I'm not talking a small number either. I'm talking 250+ pieces of stolen work all crammed into one Photobucket gallery. We eventually identified half the art with their respective artists. We contacted as many as we could and they were all appauled, which was to be expected. They all wanted to help stop her. As always, it's easier said than done, but at least the artists were aware and more people were looking out for her.

At one point, we tracked Paine into a forum called the "Dark Yugi Cave." Here, I ran into a problem. The forum had just recently been "hacked" before I came there looking for Paine, who was an administrator there at the time. I was searching through her posts to see if there were any threads with stolen work, which there were, but I stumbled onto a thread in which she was blaming the hacking on me! Not only was I angered, but I was determined to clear my name of that because I'm no hacker. I sent an e-mail to the admin, but at the time, I was unaware that the admin was a delusional friend of hers. Needless to say, nothing was done about it, but the forum mysteriously shut down, only to resurface elswhere later on. But before I reported her, a little birdie told me that she was responisble for the "hacking" of that forum. She and a friend did it as a joke. They went in, since she had administration capabilities, and erased everything and blamed it on a hacker.

She's such a doll isn't she?

Not only was I being accused of being a hacker, I was made out to be stealing the art from her again. She started posting more and more different pieces of my art as hers so I realized that I should put watermarks on my work. I was really worried about my pirates because they weren't protected at all, but luckily I put that old emblem on them before Paine thought to snatch them. I put the new watermark on all the rest of my art, which I don't know why I didn't think of sooner. :/
<img:stuff/AFADivider>

Enter: Uncle Sam...

With the new watermarks in place, she couldn't say that any of my new works were hers. I was sure that this would be the end of it. Again, I thought too soon. She then proceeded to steal my identity to steal my work. I saw mirrors of my Elfwood page everywhere. Self portraits, bio descriptions, artwork, artwork descriptions, everything, copied to the letter. She even signed up to websites that provide print selling features in attempt to sell my artwork for her own profit. I'm not talking small scale either. In the largest print gallery she had every piece of my artwork up for sale, being 80 or so pieces, excluding a select few like my chocobo and self portraits. I even did a calculation of how much she would make if someone purchased each of the pictures at one time for the prices that she was selling them for. The total came to a staggering $1900.00.

At that point I started screaming at my monitor. I then contacted the FBI, FTC, and my local law enforcement. I went to the police department in town and talked to a detective. He didn't tell me all that I wanted to hear, but he did give me some very useful information. He also contacted the United States Secret Service about something to which I have no knowledge of. The online FBI tips only told me to contact the FTC and the FTC couldn't help me because they only deal with kind of idenity theft that involves social security numbers and bank accounts. But I was determined. I called up and I made an appointment with a copyright lawyer in a city nearby. Before I went to see the lawyer, I asked my boyfriend to talk to our local magistrate while I was gone and ask him the same questions I was going to ask the lawyer. I only had 30 minutes with the lawyer and since it would cost me another $100.00 if I went overtime, I made my questions quick. Got some answers I wanted and some that I didn't. A lot of things are in my favor, but alot aren't. But then again, he was a lawyer. ;) When I got home I compared notes with him, and to my surprise, the answers we each got were completely different.

But I thought that since lawyers get paid by the hour and magistrates get paid by salary, I came to the conclusion that the lawyer was just trying to get money out of me by making it seem like I needed to come back there to get this situation resolved. Blah. I never went back. I kept what they both said in mind, but I went on with what I was doing at the time.

After all that, things were back to normal. Normal being us kicking her off of a couple of sites per day. This continued well into August until one day I logged into our group and everything had been erased. Be ready to gasp.

We'd been hacked.

The owner of the webspace said that the only way they could have done that would be if they had the passwords, through hacking, or both. Since Paine had just recently "hacked" that forum, we assumed that we were hacked. Two IP addresses showed up in the login right after the hacking. Someone didn't cover their tracks. One was Paine's, which we could identify at the time, and the other was unidentifyable, so we assumed it was the friend that helped her hack that forum.

Again we were without a base of operations, but then there was another suggestion. The suggestion, which I won't say what it was, was a damn good suggestion, and we took it. That's where we are currently, still, four months from then. The place we are now prides itself as an "un-hackable" site, which I am very greatful for.

Being in a completely secure place, we could work freely and without worry. We became quite efficient at catching her, and we did it quickly. We kept finding her and reporting her over and over on different art sites that I never knew existed. She would post fanart on "traditional" art sites, which made her look incredibly stupid and childish because the art she submitted clashed horribly with the cultured and refined theme of the site.

Then, I suppose she gave up on art sites and switched over to forums. She signed up to a large variety of art and anime related forums and she also went into hiding, so to speak. She had her online friends create forums for her to hide in as some sort of safe haven. We'd message them and tell them that we would contact the forum provider, but they'd never reply and then move the forum to a new location. She'd post people's art, and mine, in these forums, thinking that she could get away with it there. Granted, we couldn't remove them, but we made such a stink about it that they had to keep moving to new locations and the art was deleted when they moved. But the friends she hangs around with are just as horrible and dishonest as she is. They know she's a thief. They know everything that she's done, yet they still complement her on the artwork she's stolen and help her out. Those people disgust me almost as much as she does.
<img:stuff/AFADivider>

Keep your friends close...

Eventually, I think she gave up on stealing from me. There was a drastic decline in my artwork being stolen by her, but I still didn't stop tracking her. She, by that point, was still stealing other artist's work. This went on for about a month in which time a few more "Paine hunters" were made. Since Paine had been stealing their art they went out on a crusade to find her and squash her like I did in the early months.

Then it seemed she got really pissed off at me for some reason. She started stealing my artwork again. She put a few of my things up in places like SheezyArt and MyOtaku, but to my surprise, the administrators of the sites e-mailed me about her theft before I even knew it was happening!

Finally it had happened.

Finally, people are aware of her. I know now that enough people are familiar with my work and there is no way she could steal from me again without someone reporting her or someone noticing the art is stolen. I was, and still am, overjoyed to know that there are people out there watching out for me and other artists. I got lots of e-mails once she started posting my work, but after the e-mails were answered and the art theft was confirmed, she was banned from those accounts, which ultimately led her to stop stealing my artwork in a matter of days. Her attempts will no longer work and I feel safe with my artwork again. That's partially attributed to the new watermarks I put on all my work now, which show the URL of the site they're viewable on.

Since that time, she's still been stealing other people's work, mostly fanart and fanfiction, but stealing none the less. She's stealing from 12 and 13 year old kids too, by the way. It doesn't look like she'll be stopping anytime soon, but there are so many people out there after her right now, I feel that my job is done. The torch has been passed, so to speak. I know there are more groups like mine forming out there on the internet, but I'm proud to say that we paved the way for them. Rest assured though, if my works are stolen by her in the future, I'll know and it won't take me long to track her down again.

Paine, you'll read this at one point or another. I just want you to know that I'll always be watching you, wherever your sticky little fingers wander.

<img:stuff/AFADivider>

Go figure...

And shortly after I made this page public, she popped up impersonating me again. I don't know whether she has an obsession, or just mental problems in copious amounts, but she's at it once again. She put her own URLs over my watermark's URL, very poorly I might add. You can still see parts of mine behind hers even. :P She has so much contempt for such a teeny tiny person. I remember Tihana saying that she's less than 5 feet tall, which means I tower over her. I reeeeeally want to meet her one day. >3

But anyway, this new problem is too much for me to deal with right now, so I'm just going to stop posting any new artwork. That means no more Anthro Pirates, no more contests (unless I enter something that I've already done), and no more gallery updates for... quite a while. I'm going to get her kicked off of the websites that she impersonates me on, but I'm not giving her anything new to steal. I have other things that I could be doing anyway, like my school work and general life stuff. :) I will post more artwork in the not-so-near future, but that will only happen when I feel like it's safe to do so, meaning there is no set time in which I'll start posting again. Rest assured though, when I come back, I'll have lots and lots of art to upload! ^_^

To those who visit all of my galleries regularly, I won't be taking any of it down. I'm not going to take down anything that's currently up, since taking it all down would just be silly and it would make it seem like I'm completely giving up. But anyway, to my friends and fans, I'm very sorry I have to stop posting. I really wish I didn't have to, but it seems it's inevitable at this point. :/ But don't worry! I'm not leaving Elftown or anything. :3 I'll still be here. I'll probably devote more time to Elftown Graphics and I think I'll shoot for the millipede badge. :D Who knows, maybe even the 10,000 graphics badge. X3 *doubts*

So far it seems she's stopped again. I think she got as far as three sites this time. Last time I think it was two, but anyway, I'm just waiting for the next attempt a month or so from now. That seems to be her pattern. I think she thinks that in a month I'll just... forget or something. X3

I felt like some more anti-Paine art:
<img:stuff/StaceyPom>

XP For those of you who are confused about what's going on here, I'll have to fill in some blanks. First off Paine owns tons of Pomeranians, which are little yappy annoying dogs, much like herself. Poms are timid and often have that "I'm more important than anything else" complex, much like Paine. They're very prissy, don't like to be touched and are rather ugly any way you look at them, whoo.. Paine again. They also drag their ass around when they have an itch that they can't scratch, but unlike most dogs, they look the most retarded when they go about trying to do it. Guess who fits in this category? It's always been said that pets resemble their masters. :)

Hehe. Thanks Plex for the inspiration! XD

~ A couple of months later...

Well, I've started posting my work again. Mostly because I don't care about Paine's antics anymore. If I find her someplace, I'll just get rid of her there, so it's really no big deal. Sure it's an inconvenience to my day, but all I have to do is send a message to the administrators and just the past evidence alone will get her promptly banned and my art will be removed from there. :) I keep records of all the places she's been banned from, so when she makes another account on a site she's been banned from, I just send them those links.

She probably thinks it's some kind of game now or something. If it's a game, then I haven't been playing for about five months now. X3 I've moved on with my life. She should really think about doing that herself, because she's 25 now, living in a crappy apartment in Baltimore that has rats (she even named the damned rats..), and has no life of her own at this point in time. Her estimated lifespan is 1/3 over and she hasn't even got a decent foothold yet. That is why I pity that girl. She can't do anything on her own and that's sad. That's extremely sad.

And a few follow-up links. ;3

Back to [Adnama]'s House

2005-05-27 [FiSHr.]: ah well maybe it isn't paine....cos my friend draws demons....but i still have my other friend to worry abt

2005-05-27 [Adnama]: Hm. She's been known to steal original work too. She stole all my stuff at one point. It'd be best to send me links though. I keep up with her as much as I can now, so if I do see something, I'll inform you. :3

2005-05-27 [FiSHr.]: ok thanks oh oh oh...and adnama i put you on my list of fav artists

2005-05-27 [Adnama]: Hehe. Cool! ^_^ Thanks. :B

2005-05-27 [FiSHr.]: :B.....who would draw my rp character.....not you obviously.....

2005-05-27 [AquaBuggy]: <.< >.> i had a run in with a noobie art thief a while ago. someone in the webdesighn class after mine tried to claim my art as thier own on their site (and some of luke mckay's) it was on his site for a while. it really freaked him out when he found me hovering behind him with a print of his website. he hasnt made a career out of it but it was pretty fun busting him 8D especially cause he had no idea i went to the same school... i geuss he must have gotten the pictures off my site and found luke by luck. let's peel his skin off and poor salt on him 8D

2005-05-28 [Adnama]: Gawd! If only I were so fortunate as to have Paine at my school, or in the same state even. X3 That would have been SO fun. But yes. Peel his skin off, rub him down with rock salt and sew his skin back on. ;3 Take out one of his kidneys and leave him in a bathtub of ice while you're at it. >_>... :B

2005-05-28 [spiritee]: naw, ice numbs, and that totally ruins the fun X3 yes, leave the ice out.

2005-05-28 [Adnama]: :O Replace ice with sea urchins.

2005-05-28 [kay-chan]: Replace sea urchins with fire ants!

2005-05-28 [Adnama]: Siafu! o_o... They'd eat her in five minutes or so. X3

2005-05-28 [AquaBuggy]: thats much too fast. we just want to torture her. but when we do finish her off, we should stick her under the hood of a car and start it up. my mom accidentaly did it to a cat one time... the sudden blood currdaling scream will startle you... but then you will realize who it is and all will be good...

2005-05-28 [FiSHr.]: http://night-wisher.deviantart.com/ - Yay my gallery (only 2 pics)

2005-05-28 [AquaBuggy]: heh... my DA gallery isn't that big either.

2005-05-28 [FiSHr.]: hehe

2005-05-28 [AquaBuggy]: hehe, he... hehehe... BWA!

2005-05-28 [FiSHr.]: lol

2005-05-30 [kay-chan]: I couldn't get on DA the first time I tried because I was an AOL member... The whole world, at that time, was working against me...

2005-05-30 [AquaBuggy]: D8

2005-05-30 [LadyMoon]: Omg, that is so horrible for you o.o What I read here made me sick! *shakes head* I hope you'll kick her off the net permanently one day, and many awes for your holding on, on catching her.

2005-05-31 [kay-chan]: Kick her off the net permanently... Hmm... Beating her over the head with her computer sounds about permanent...

2005-05-31 [Adnama]: I wish I could just go to her apartment and bash her computer to pieces with my mace. >_>... Buuuut I'd get breaking and entering and vandalism. :P I'll train a panda to do it. :B

2005-05-31 [kay-chan]: Yes! But make sure the panda is slightly rabid. It would be just won-I mean, awful if it got out of control and turned on paine with that mace...

2005-05-31 [Adnama]: Rabid panda with a mace. X3 Sounds strangely cuddly.

2005-05-31 [AquaBuggy]: pandas are infinately cuddly. it could be a mound of a few bones, some organs and tissue... but if it was from a panda i would hug it and love it with all my heart :p

2005-06-05 [Adnama]: Is there a prevention method that I haven't tried? X3 But if you think you've got some ideas that'll work, I'll be glad to hear'em. She's been busy with my name "adnamalavode" on Livejournal lately and I'm becoming annoyed. :P

2005-06-05 [Adnama]: That's what messages are for. ;3 I'm pretty sure she'll read this at some point.

2005-06-06 [AquaBuggy]: ah... fun... lets chek into this filthy little wench then shall we?

2005-06-06 [Adnama]: I'm always watching her. I don't understand why she still tries. :/

2005-06-06 [FiSHr.]: im still trying to find her

2005-06-06 [AquaBuggy]: she still tries because she's insane. and probably very annoyd that you keep trashing her fun.

2005-06-06 [spiritee]: or maybe she's just satisfied that she's affecting someone else's life.

2005-06-06 [Adnama]: Yeah. Sadly enough, if she'd just spend more time doing something with her life, she wouldn't be in mine. And from what I understand, she's got a pretty crappy life so far. ;3 But that's karma.

2005-06-07 [spiritee]: ooo~ go Buddism. it makes sense ^^ she should try more therapy, maybe i'll work after a couple tries.

2005-06-07 [AquaBuggy]: therapy hmm?... *looks at his tazer*... shock therapy? *turns it WAY up*

2005-06-07 [Paul Doyle]: Paine can be stopped with screenshots of her criminal behavior >8-)

2005-06-07 [Adnama]: Indeed. :B Thanks to Paul, I have a few screenshots that I can use against her on LJ if she decides to post my work again. ;3

2005-06-07 [AquaBuggy]: oooh... how'd you get em?

2005-06-08 [Adnama]: He e-mailed them to me. :3

2005-06-08 [AquaBuggy]: oh. i suppose that'd be why you thankd him. @_@

2005-06-08 [Paul Doyle]: Rabid panda? Oh, like this one? *unleashes the wrath of Pandilla the Space Panda against Paine!*

2005-06-08 [AquaBuggy]: ... i truely have nothing to say to that. it's not because i think it's stupid, nor because it's just that cool. i just can't think of a response...

2005-06-09 [Adnama]: We're in need of the panda now, me thinks. XP I just found another site she'd set up with my work. I was quickly reported, so everything should be removed and she'll be banned again in a few days. :3

2005-06-09 [spiritee]: Wow, persistant little bugger. Think she'll ever stop?

2005-06-09 [AquaBuggy]: how dose she even find any bloody sites that she hasn't bean you on?

2005-06-09 [Adnama]: She might stop in a couple of years. *shrugs* She's just an annoyance now, so I really don't care. :3 I just like knowing where she is, which isn't hard to do when she's using my name. -- And I guess she just finds new ones and uses up all possible names. :P

2005-06-09 [Adnama]: And if anyone wants a laugh, and to be nausiated all at the same time, look up "Kytani Sidhe" on google. XB I think it's the first link.

2005-06-10 [spiritee]: who the hell draws pictures using color pencils then types their name on? *sighs*

2005-06-10 [AquaBuggy]: what am i looking at?

2005-06-10 [Adnama]: Check out the www.moraxian website under kytani sidhe when you search on google. *shiver* Eeeh. x_x;

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: what is it

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: oh....its...*shiver*

2005-06-10 [Adnama]: I shant describe the horrors. D: Just search google. I don't want to link it here either for my own reasons. :3

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: *seriously wants that girl dead*

2005-06-10 [Adnama]: Looks like she wants herself to die too. X3 S'not like that's a... bad thing. >_>

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: <.< >.> if only that dynamite is real....

2005-06-10 [Adnama]: I said the same thing. It's a shame they're just road flares. But they could go off in her face. *hope* XP

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: heeheheh

2005-06-10 [AquaBuggy]: doom unto her and her dog and her mom and her car and her dish soap and her carpet beetles and her couch!

2005-06-10 [spiritee]: aw come on, the dish soap didn't do anything.

2005-06-10 [FiSHr.]: lol

2005-06-10 [Adnama]: Yeah. If anything I'd want to pitty that soap dish. It saw her naked. D:

2005-06-10 [AquaBuggy]: ...*shivers* NOT an attractive person. some people really SHOULD keep to thier designated corners...

2005-06-11 [spiritee]: ewww....poor soap...virgin eyes, gone, just like that~ You think she'll go to Otakon? I can probably recognize her ugliness ^__^ then the fun begins.

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: She goes to Otakon every year. Last year she was claiming to have drawn badges that were being sold in the lobby. :/

2005-06-11 [spiritee]: O__O *excited* I hope I see her X3 yes, yes, I do indeed...if I do, I'll most likely squeal and giggle and...oooo must start plotting now. Miss Ajay, would you like me to do anything if I happen to meet this monster by the name of Stacy?

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: Just hit her with an extremely rotten egg. :3 OR... >D.... you know that bottled deer musk you can buy in walmart's sporting goods section? XP

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: It smells really bad. >]

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: Gawd I have mean thoughts. XD

2005-06-11 [spiritee]: Nono, it's well deserved ^^ but of course I'll have to do it in stealth, wouldn't want to be kicked out of the center, would I? Must plot....

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: Stealth is definately needed. XP It'd be so funny if she smelled of deer pee all weekend. >D

2005-06-11 [spiritee]: Ah, then perhaps they will throw her out for contaminating the Convention Center. Oh by the way, do you know how to check someone's IP address from their AIM screenname?

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: Hm. Nope. :x But she's logged onto Elftown in the past month (banned now) and I have access to her IP. Why? :3

2005-06-11 [Perplexity]: Otakon is right down the street from where I work. I should start collecting rotten eggs to throw at her.

2005-06-11 [Adnama]: Ah yes. X3 She may smell of deer pee when she gets to you. :B

2005-06-11 [Paul Doyle]: Maybe you could sic a mentally deranged fursuiter on her :P

2005-06-11 [AquaBuggy]: .. i wish i had a chance to make her life hell... God i love the deer pea idea though... what else do they have in walmarts sporting goods? fish hooks... what else smells bad? i think smelling like herself is punishment enough...

2005-06-11 [AquaBuggy]: i really need to do some anti paine work now...

2005-06-11 [spiritee]: Think of the possibilities @_@<--*glittery eyes* She cosplaying anything?

2005-06-11 [AquaBuggy]: oh sweet jesus thatd be great!

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: If a fursuiter ever did that, I'd definately require pictures. XD -- AquaBuggy, I wish I could too. Someday I most likely will, if I ever go to Otakon. I'll scare the bejezus out of her. :) And.. skunks smell bad. Anyone have a pet skunk? :B

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: She'd probably be cosplaying as a character from Yugioh, however, I don't think she'll be going as a female character. >_>.. See the last two pictures where she looks like an absolute idiot: http://otakubooty.bootyproject.org/otaku_profile.asp?id_member=2763&tab=Profile&page=

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: YUGIO! AAAAAAAH!!! i despise yugio!

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: BWAHAHAH!!! she looks likewell... a really ugly asian dude...

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: Well. She is half Chinese. :0

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: and the other half? something from under a moist rock i'm geussing.

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: Nah. The other half is German somehow. O_o..

2005-06-12 [Paul Doyle]: The other half might be German . . . Shepherd

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: mwahaha... i'd like to meet her parents.

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: Eeh. From what I've heard, no you don't. XD But I hear her sister is pretty okay. :3

2005-06-12 [Paul Doyle]: Well, every Michael Jackson has a Janet Jackson sibling :B

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: i'm working on some anti paine propoganda. let's just say that the picture of your chocobo pooping on a fake paine just wasn't good enough for me <.<

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: XP Paul. Your one-liners make my eyes water. :B Ah the humor.

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: <img:http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/img/drawing/41419_1118543441.jpg> please don't kill me! i used your poop on paine dismal chocobo. i'll probably draw my own and put it in there... or my cyborg my little pony and change it to a pasture pattie. but it's the thought that counts!...i need sleep...

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: i drew the poop myself though :p

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: XD!! Nice edits! Under these circumstances, I'll allow my art to be used. :B

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: mwahaha! the phantom strikes again!

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: i'll draw a chocobo myslef and put it in my DA gallery. i need to put more stuff in there.

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: Though, if you put it up on DA, they'll probably remove it for using her picture without her permission. It sucks, I know. :P

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: I put a link up under the anti-Paine art. XP

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: oh... dooky... damn you paine... damn you and your ugly asian german face. well... it's goin up on my desktop. i'm sure my sister will like it.

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: and now for maximum confusion i have changed my real Fake name to my REAL name. now paine will never be able to tell wich one is wich! we are like Zebra! @_@

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: She'll just take all of them and make them into email accounts. X3

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: < doom on her little yappie dogs!

2005-06-12 [spiritee]: Half Chinese? bah, shame, shame~ Anyways, GAWD that's some ugliness right there -_- *just clicked the pictures* No, can't miss her if I see her...

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: she'll probably be the manish ugly Yu-Gi-Hoe

2005-06-12 [Adnama]: Heh. I wonder how much it would cost to have deer pee smell dry cleaned out of that jacket. XP

2005-06-12 [AquaBuggy]: ten dollar long time.... er... she prbably has enough money from selling other peoples art -.-

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: Mwaha. :B I'm testing a new watermark that's embedded into the image. You can see it when you highlight the picture, it can't be removed, and it will include my url and copyright. I'm still working the kinks out of it, but it looks promising. ^_^ I've been testing on my Earth Dragon and here's what I've got so far: Click to enlarge, highlight to see the watermark. I also made a new visible one that should be harder for her to write over. ;3

2005-06-14 [spiritee]: whoooa O_O that, is so awesome. she'll probably be too dense to notice it ^_^. the image does take longer to load because of the watermark, and it loads in multiple layers of horizontal bars. wow O_O when you copy and paste it in photoshop, the watermark doesn't show up. would it if it's reuploaded?

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: It's embeded, so even if she reuploads it, the watermark will be there. :3 It only shows up when it's highlighted, so she wouldn't even know if she put it into photoshop, or anything else. But once it's made that way, it can't be undone. :B

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: I've checked and double checked that too, and it still works. ^_^

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: If you'd like to use it I'll send you the instructions. :B I don't want her to know how I did it.

2005-06-14 [spiritee]: s'okay ^_^ not necessary yet. not good enough for people to still my art, but one day! ^__^　heh, it's not a good thing, but it'll work for self-satisfaction. i would like to join your group of paine hunters though!

2005-06-14 [AquaBuggy]: O_O I'm sure there are plenty of art thieves out there who would go after anything anyway. thats FREAKING AWSOME AJ. thats like... the best inovation in paine killers.

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: All we really do to hunt her is search google for names she usually uses. :3 I search for any variation of my name or nicknames and I usually get to the sites she sets up. If you find any, you can send me a message through Elftown. You could report her if you want. X3 I just need to know where she's been. For my records and all. :B

2005-06-14 [AquaBuggy]: i'll help out if i can get a list of her names. i know she uses yours alot but thats about it :p

2005-06-14 [kay-chan]: ...Wow. That's really cool. Definitely impressed... ^.^

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: Hehe. Thanks. X3 Now to do it to all my art. @_@;

2005-06-14 [kay-chan]: ...yeah, good luck with that. Have fun! (Don't have too much fun. If you do, name it after me.) (Ignore the last tasteless joke.)

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: XP Mmkay. If you want to know how to do this, I can tell ya though. ;3

2005-06-14 [kay-chan]: I'm in the same boat as spiritee... Nobody's stolen my art, and I REALLY doubt they're going to start. (Besides, I can barely color it on the computer, what makes you think I can do something as complicated as a watermark? XD) But thanks for the offer, much appreciated! ^.^

2005-06-14 [Adnama]: Well. I have instructions. XD But okay. ;3 If you ever need'em, which I hope you won't, I can tell ya about it. ^_^

2005-06-15 [spiritee]: excellent X3 we'll know who to turn to if we start having pesty art theft problems.

2005-06-15 [AquaBuggy]: or maybe it's best to stop it before it happens. always best to be safe...

2005-06-15 [kay-chan]: Blargh! *flails arms in a helpless fashion in the general direction of aquabuggy* Eh... Might as well. I'll use it for my seriously good art that will be years in the coming. So Adnama... Could you send me the information? ^.^

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: Sure thing. ;3 Lemme go do that.

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: uh... that looks like a fish.

2005-06-16 [kay-chan]: Thank you, Adnama! And... Twenty points for you, AquaBuggy. Now what am I? *sticks arms out in front of her and stands on one leg*

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: the back of a hammer... like the one i'm useing to dig REALLY deep into the back of paines filthy head.

2005-06-16 [Dil*]: So she's still out there o.O? She doesn't ever stop?

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: It may take years for her to grow up and get her own life. :/

2005-06-16 [kay-chan]: (wrong! I'm a hood ornament!) It's really sad, the way she KEEPS doing this... I almost pity her, except she's bringing it upon herself. So, sooo sad... I wonder if she even has a REASON anymore.

2005-06-16 [Aeolynn]: WOW, how can somone be so... evil? Very well written and you definately have me aware of this Paine character! Kudos Adnama!!!

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: She probably thinks it's a game or something. :P She needs to know that I'm not playing. I'm just removing her when I see her. XP And she's freakin' 25 now, I think. Her life is 1/3 over and she hasn't grown up yet. I do pity her. And thanks Aeolian. ^_^

2005-06-16 [Kelaria]: I was riveted, my eyes wide as saucers, the entire time I was reading this! I was and still am shocked that someone would go to such lengths to continue stealing your art... I mean, it wasn’t working, so why didn’t she give up?? I don’t get that! what kept driving her to continue this? >.< I just don’t understand it! And it freaks me out too!!

2005-06-16 [Kelaria]: I pity her too... it's really just so pathetic... -.-;;

2005-06-16 [Aeolynn]: You're very welcome!

2005-06-16 [Kyrinn]: is she still around in ET?

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: like A.J said, she thinks it's a game and she's determined to win.

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: she's bean banz0rd

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: She could probably make another account because her IP changes, but it won't stop us from finding her. X3 I mean, we can easily check IPs and if we see a new name in her IP range, then that account gets banned. :3

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: And yeah. Even if it's a game to her, she's already won since she's the only player. X3 So she has my full permission to stop now. ;3

2005-06-16 [Kyrinn]: What a sad, pathetic loser...

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: oh, the poor little lesbian uses dial up. that can help somewhat. but it's not a hard thing to trace. hahaha! stupid dial up users.... wait... i have net zer0... thats like, the king of dial up.

2005-06-16 [FiSHr.]: *rolls around laughing* oh dear...well she maybe a hacker O.o

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: she has friends who are. but hey, if she comes after me we can always fight fire with fire ;3 <=it spreads

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: She's not smart enough to be a hacker. X3 Learning difficult things takes initiative and she has none of that, except for art theft. And as far as I know she uses, or used Comcast. At least when she lived with her parents she used Comcast.

2005-06-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Question: how does someone with below-average intelligence and poor social skills convince hackers to help her against you and your allies?

2005-06-16 [FiSHr.]: true...ok....anyway....*sighs* poor girl doesn't know how to draw so she steals..tut

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: Actually, I think those friends don't have much to do with her now. :3 She was banned from a forum in which they all gathered. So I guess they got tired of her being so stupid and needing help.

2005-06-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: ah, I see.

2005-06-16 [FiSHr.]: good

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: nice.

2005-06-16 [Paul Doyle]: Will someone sic those rats on Paine? :P

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: i feel sorry for the rats that live with her.

2005-06-16 [tenshi-ryuu]: it sucks when your the victim of art thievery (though I've never had anyone go to these lengths)... I've previously had my art (despite the suckyness) and my poetry stolen...

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: did you ANHIALATE the thief

2005-06-16 [Kyrinn]: Ive had someone steal my writing idea. ppl who read their story said it mirrored mine. They will get it in the ass eventually, lol.. I beleive in a little thing called Nemesis. ^^

2005-06-16 [Jay Ladlehaus]: or hubris

2005-06-16 [Adnama]: Actually, one of the rats died and she apparently was sad. XP It probably died from living in her filth.

2005-06-16 [AquaBuggy]: The poor bastard probably stuck its head out from behind the T.V. just in time to see her "poseing" for one of her uh... pictures that almost sent [Adnama] into shock, and simply dropped dead.

2005-06-17 [tenshi-ryuu]: I take it they were bad?

2005-06-17 [AquaBuggy]: THANK GOD i didn't see them, but i did see her nasty ass on a bandage thing, no nakedness though. but AJ said she saw her <.<; ;>.> naked! *explodes*

2005-06-17 [Adnama]: Ew. O_O I never saw her naked. I'd claw out my eyes. D: I said I pitied the soap in her shower since it sees her naked. XD

2005-06-17 [AquaBuggy]: OH... thank god. i was about to scoop your eyes out myself. well let's get off that subject then because it is a damn foul one... puppie kitties and baby penguins!

2005-06-17 [FiSHr.]: aww penguins...

2005-06-17 [Kelaria]: I may need help. I was just accused of being a photography theif! I have never stolen anything and I definitely would not! (especially after reading this!) But what if she reports me and the guards believe her over me! >.< I could be kicked out of Elftown! And I love it here! Elftown is like my home away from home! What should I do?

2005-06-17 [Kelaria]: I know how it feels to have photography stolen from you. Because I had it happen to me! Why on earth would I do it to someone else???

2005-06-17 [AquaBuggy]: what photography and from who?

2005-06-17 [Kelaria]: Well, we worked it out. It seems one of my old enemies told a stranger that I had claimed her photography as mine. But it was cleared up. So everything is fine.

2005-06-17 [FiSHr.]: oh dear...the idiots...somethings make me angry

2005-06-17 [Dil*]: hang the art thieves!!

2005-06-17 [Kelaria]: agreed!

2005-06-18 [Adnama]: Sorry I wasn't here all day. o_O I could have probably helped you out Kelaria. X3 But I'm glad it all got straightened out. ^_^

2005-06-18 [Kelaria]: Yeah, it's fine. I actually invited my accuser to be my friend :P cause she's really a nice girl. It was only a misunderstanding. I probably would have reacted the same way in her situation.

2005-06-18 [AquaBuggy]: i think... no i don't... what should i draw?

2005-06-18 [AquaBuggy]: my muse is here for a few seconds, don't let me waste it...

2005-06-18 [Adnama]: I'm in and out too much. x_x

2005-06-18 [AquaBuggy]: you're a busy person :p

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: It says paine was last logged in four days ago... ? shouldn't they just delete the house?

2005-06-20 [Adnama]: Elftown houses can't be deleted. :o But that's just her trying to log in while she's banned on that account. :3 It doesn't mean she can log on from there, it just means she tried. Now I have to go check her IPs to see if she's made new accounts for me to ban. ^_^

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: lol why even try? what about elfpack and cathug... and balt balt (she might be crazy enough)

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: and if you can't delete yourself then what happens when I click the button at the bottom?

2005-06-20 [Adnama]: Click it and find out. X3 -- But she's already made accounts on Elfpack. I haven't checked cathug or balt balt, nor am I a member there. :x But I was correct in assuming she made a new account. [YamiRhaksha]. That would be her. :) Now freshly banned.

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: why dos eshe even try?

2005-06-20 [Adnama]: Don't know. :o But it's not my job to ponder that anymore. X3 I just ban and report. :B

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: heh, sounds good enough. not like it takes much energy either. X)

2005-06-20 [Adnama]: Nope. :) And it's fun to boot. XD

2005-06-20 [AquaBuggy]: The wonderfull thought of booting her after she spent several hours looking through manuels and notes that her friends made for her on "How to Create an Elftown House" and then the joy she has when she completes it. "This time they won't catch me!" she thinks... four days later... "damnit"

2005-06-21 [Adnama]: Do you know how many times I've let her upload an entire gallery full of stolen work before I reported her? XP It's fun to let her waste lots of time and have it be for nothing. Me and the internet ninjas did that all the time. :B

2005-06-21 [AquaBuggy]: Internet ninjas? your paine hunters i take it? heh. Like i was saying a while ago, with the guy in my class who got onto my website grabbed some of my art for his cartoon and followed a link to Luke McKay, grabbed some of his, i causeght him just after he finished and was about to send it to the fair for a contest. he wasn't happy. I was though XD

2005-06-21 [AquaBuggy]: It wasn't a maor bust.... but it was still fun.

2005-06-21 [Dil*]: the list of banned cloned houses..just keeps on growing.

2005-06-21 [Jay Ladlehaus]: I had a weird thing happen yesterday. When I was walking my dogs, I ran into a woman who walking a couple of pomeranians. She has a 25 y/o daughter.

2005-06-21 [Adnama]: Do you live near Rockville Maryland? That's where her parents live. :o

2005-06-21 [Dil*]: ..o.o

2005-06-21 [Jay Ladlehaus]: Nope, guess it wasn't her mom. I live in Socal.

2005-06-21 [Adnama]: Yeah. From what I understand she's a crazy Chinese lady. :o

2005-06-21 [AquaBuggy]: heh... when i was walking home from school i thought i saw [Darkwizard] wich is almost possible. but it was creepy X[
