Moderators: Any idea why these spoilers are duping, and how I can fix it?
Just a bit of fun based on the bot diary thread on the IC2 forums (http://forum.industrial-craft.net/i...44&s=d94b583ff081da56ac0db29ac22e50d9961ccb68). Essentially, it's a diary by those who encounter and "battle" spam threads.
Feel free to submit diary entries, I'll gladly accept any which follow basic grammar. Please provide your name and the day and time in the storyline which you want it. Any stories which don't follow the storyline from the past, or progress too quickly (completely end the story in one entry, basically) won't be added, they just ruin the fun.
The bold days are the days in terms of the storyline, the date supplied in the spoiler header is the date that entry was submitted (in terms of the entry writer).
From here, I'll be putting each entry in spoilers.

Day 3
Day Three of the Spambot Apocalypse: This is the second instance of a spam thread that I've seen. The almighty moderators are able to keep them in check currently, but who knows how long they can keep control? One thing is for certain, we're going to have to be diligent and keep a watchful eye out. We may have to post guard schedules in the near future, to ensure the moderators are told about these horrific bots as quickly as possible.
If we do not remove their posts as quickly as possible, they might sense a weakness in our defences and attack, possibly overflowing our forums and forcing us to perform a complete wipe.

Day 4: 3/06/2013 9:00am Agent Exedra
We thought we spotted something, so we contacted perimeter control. No response, I'm sending out a team. If they don't come back gods help us.
Day 4: 3/06/2013 9:10am Forum Game Patrol Agent Exedra
The team is back, but gods save us. Perimeter control. They're dead. All that's left was a pool of blood. I've informed Mission Control to get heavies in, but our radios are down. Must have been the bots we spotted. Hang on, there's a knock on the door.
Day 4: 3/06/2013 9:20am Forum Game Patrol Agent Exedra
It was the bots. They killed everyone on Forum game patrol. Except me. I locked myself in the bunker, but I can hear them outside. They're trying to break in. But the radios are up here. I'll contact HQ.
*BEGIN TRANSMISSION*
Mission control, can you read me? This is Agent Exedra of the forum game patrol unit. Perimeter control is dead. God knows what they did with the bodies. The rest of my unit is dead, and they cut our main comms channel. I've locked myself in the bunker, but I don't know how long I'll last. Send heavies immediately. *END TRANSMISSION*

Day 4, 04/01/0001 S.A. (Spambot Apocalypse)
I just received the transmission from Egor.
I've set the base on red alert, we are moving out.
Thank goodness we ordered that extra supply of jeeps and trucks a few weeks ago, or I don't know if we would have been able to carry enough supplies.
The spambots are coming... And there may be no escape.

Day 5
Day 5:
They came at us again when we were sleeping, and we awoke to find our community members in a rage. It's bad enough we have to deal with the trolls hounding us for an expression of anger.
The news from egor66 and Remote Outpost Dim7 has not been good. All attempts at reviving radio contact have failed and rumors from our men and women on the front line threads are that the outpost has been overrun. God I hope their wrong. There is nothing now that lies between us and the spammers we hear screaming in the distance.
I am afraid to sleep, afraid to eat, afraid to leave my post in the event of their attack. Commanders Jadedcat and Morvelaira keep our spirits up, being the first to the wall when the alarm sounds, but there is only so much our members can do.
The rage is building inside of us. I can see the look on the others faces, and we won't last long. Hope has been extinguished and the clouds have turned black. They will come soon.
I find myself reminiscing about the days of the beta, days before the clans rose to power, the fights and bloodshed between Tekkit and FTB. We never saw them coming, but now we can't prevent it.
There here! We must grab our keyboards. It's the last defense we have. Pray carpal tunnel will not hound us this night.

8:00
I see a bunch of blips on the map now, and I got a transmission from one Exedra and one GPuzzle.
I'll be setting up a hidden base for supplies, with the help of the Conduits, we can grow plants and animals almost instantly.
All that is required is to find somewhere hidden...
That might be a bit harder than I thought.
16:00
I think we've shaken off the Spambots, we called Alex to help us with that.
Now we can find our way to a secret location without the Spambots knowing.

Day 6
Still stuck in that damn bunker. And then I hear clangs outside. More spambots? I hear a knock. "OPEN THE DOOR!" I unlock the door and it slides open. HQ had got my message. There was a group of green heavies, escorted by Lawbroken. They has taken down the spambots. Well, I guess I'll follow them back to HQ. This is getting serious now.

Day 7, current location: No Topic Thread.
Shit.
I really don't know what happened but I DON'T WANT TO GET A FREE PASSPORT!
In short, spambots.
I entered the jeep with J and Nose, shortly after Moped, Liara and Choc left via helicopter. Of course, the desolate desert wasn't really the greatest place to survive, but as long as we had gas, water and food, we would reach the forum games subsection.
*Exedra transmission comes in*
Well, fuck. Now we either have to become badasses and do a kickass entrance or find another base.
I still have to know which one of them is the best way to survive this apocalypse.

12:00
We found a secret location, and have hidden Radars from finding the location of our transmissions.
One of our Conduits is helping with that.
I've set some other Conduits on setting up a farm.
The entire base is underground, and so far, it's just a dug up place with supports and a ceiling to stop the sand from falling on us and revealing location.
17:00
I'm now creating metal for weapons, and our non-Conduit soldiers are really smart cookies, so they know how to put weapons together.
We will soon be ready to set out on our first supply trip.
If you hear this transmission, send us a transmission and we will get you some supplies.

I've reached the bunker. And guess what Morvy found me? My old helicopter! I'll be flying around, spotting bots. Just radio me if you need a pickup. You'll have to be quick though, this thing doesn't have weapons. Yet.

Day 9
Day 9
I've found a cave, big enough to fly the helicopter into. I've set up a holographic projector to cover the entrance in moss. I have a forcefield set up, but no power. I've set up a small base down here, with a radio station. I've sent a transmission out asking if anyone needs a lift in the chopper, or even a place to stay. No response yet. I've got plenty of food and water. I've set up a mini farm and there's a lake outside which I can filter.

Day 11
I've set up a proxy to reroute the radio signals to somewhere else. Lets just hope no one his there. Also, I found my trusty backpack in the helicopter. Which had my plasma cell! I wondered where that had been! Well, with the plasma cell, I now have limitless power. I send out another transmission.

*Receives whizzball1's transmission saying that Conduit Bunker Beta will be making metal for weapons.*
I could use some. Leave them in a ditch and send me the location. Use the old code we used to use.

Day 12, 4 days on the road.
It isn't going to take long until we are able to escape this place. I can see Lawbroken's fence around here.
We're hitting the border.
Whizz is supplying stuff to Exedra, no sign of Moped or Choc or Morgs.
And this base is our last stop before we head into the Community Showcase.
By the way, it's my time to drive.
If anybody recieves this transmission - we are at post 1 of the No Topic Thread.

Day 12
I got a message back from Whizz. I flew out my helicopter. I spotted a few bots in the distance, and took them out with my rifle. I attached the machine guns to the sides, and programmed an AI to control them. I also made it control the doors on the back, with a switch in the front. I also attached the missile launchers. I flew back and messaged Whizz.
Thanks for the weapons mate, they'll really come in useful. You don't happen to have a spare fusion coil do you. If so, message be back saying you do, and then meet me at co-ords $@&*%&@ at @:&*pm It'll be worth it I promise.
I then fell asleep, feeling safe in my cave. I had set up a turret at the entrance, incase they got through my shield.

I wake up. No messages. Shit. Well, I might as well fly around and help some people out. I fly up and out of the cave. I fly around for a bit, letting the AI gun down spambots. When suddenly I see something. IT'S WHIZZ! I land nearby and run towards him.

Excellent, the fusion coil. Now all I need is an ion damper field generator, a clear-hex triad oscillator, and a tungsten double-acid rod to power it. I remember where to find one, and fly out to the old forum game base. Thank god the power rod is still there. I place it in my backpack. I contact whizz about what he's using to disguise the base. I hope he's using a clear-hex triad oscillator, or atleast knows how to make one. I fly back home and go to sleep. Soon, it will be complete.

Our Conduits have set up a positive infinite power loop, in that the plants and animals they grow using Conduit Power provide enough energy to replenish their power quickly, and more!
That way instead of having to wait for the power to replenish, we can go all day.
I wouldn't overwork them, though.
We are thinking of setting up Ethanol Power, instead of also using Conduit Power to power the bunker.
Seriously, we can't just rely on People Power.

Day 15
Day 15.
Whizz and Ex's transmissions reached me.
We decided to see what was in the building, and it was a spambot.
J captured him, and for all I know, we have 4 days until this base is attacked.
We need help ASAP - this single spambot is a pain in the ass to hold alone.
An army of them?
If we find one, we're screwed.

Day 17, Robot attack starts tommorow.
"LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! WE CAN'T STAY ANY LONGER!"
We can see the dust from the spambot army already.
I am going to panic if we don't live this ASAP.
Whizz's and Ex's supplies are nice and all, but...
Unless we nuke this area from orbit, we're not going to escape unless we fly out of here. Let's just hope Ex's helicopter can carry us all.
I'm kind of glad we found this refinery here. There's enough fuel in these tanks to allow us to escape.
On the other hand, water is quite problematic. There's fuel and food enough for a trip but not enough water - I just hope we can use cactus to get some more.

In the meanwhile, we set up an MFR system to lower the use of Conduit Powers for Farming.
We need all our focus on Power for the Dampener building machine while we set up Ethanol and Boiler Gen.

We land at my base, and I make everyone a bed in my cave. I get some water from outside, and go havest the crops. Whizz hasn't got back to me on that Ion machine. At the rate this is advancing, he needs to hurry up.

So we have an MFR production set up. The Apples are being routed to a Squeezer, and the Saplings to a Fermenter.
The Wood is being cooked into Charcoal, and the Charcoal is powering a Boiler.
So far that's all we have.
The Dampener is 6.25% done.

Day 21
Exedra's and GPuzzle's Log:
It's midnight now.
We started moving two hours ago. It is going to take really long.
If anyone gets this message, the Forum Games has a lot of recruits, but there's an attack comming at by day 24.
The No Topic Thread outpost is run over, don't try to get there, we've drained everything.
Protect the Forum Games outpost - it might be our last stand later on.

We've finished setting up Ethanol Production, and all the Boilers.
I'd say we are producing enough power to leave it alone while I help GPuzzle and Exedra over at the Forum Games Outpost.
I'm bringing all the Conduits to the Outpost.
We'll be camouflaging the Vehicles until we get a safe distance away from the Base.
We only have 2 Conduits that can do that, so let's hope they hold out long enough.
The Dampener is 37.5% done.

Spambot Attack!
I've got all my Conduits working on them, and I think I might be working the hardest.
I'm using all my Conduit Powers at once, and I'm depleting.
Fast.
I don't know if we'll make it!
9:00
7 of our Conduits are out cold already, and 15 are getting sleepy. I have a larger power reserve, but it's not going to hold long.
We have 50 Conduits, but that might not be enough.
Let's just hope our power holds out long enough.
20 Bots left.
11:00
22 Conduits are out, and more are low on power.
Still 15 Spam Bots.
13:00
40 Conduits are out, and I'm really low.
It's time to call Alex...
14:00
Alex is here, I'm just about out.
He's gotten rid of most of them.
I don't think I can hold out much--

Alex telepathically tells me my men are OK.
He wasn't able to get to me before the one last Spambot dragged me off.
I'm still too weak to use my Conduit Powers to get out of here.
I've never had to use my powers to such an extent, for such a long time, and never all at once.
I'm sending this transmission, let's hope that someone hears me...
Oh no...
The Spambots are coming.

Day 25
Day 25 - Ex's Helicopter.
We've got a bunch of food left. No one is starving.
*Whizz's transmission kicks in*
WHAT?!
Somebody needs to get to him!
Where is he?!
First, we need to stop at the Community Showcase Tower. As soon as we get there, we can help Whizz.
*fifteen minutes later*
O.K, I talked to the bot we have captured, and apparently, they have come from the Support Area.
Wonderful.
We have to breach through that big messy jungle to get Whizz now, apparently he was taken to there.
Could this get ANY worse?!

Well, I found a radio.
I made sure to hide it better this time.
I really do need help.

WhateverDayWe'reOnRightNow:
I don't know where I am, the SpamBots have captured me. They've injected me with something horrid using a huge needle... I can't feel my arms anymore. All they have allowed me to do is write in my Journal and it is the only comfort that I think I will have for however long I am being held here. I don't think i'll live long enough to see anyone read this.

Day 25. We got Whizz message, so we begin flying over to find him. I hope he's still alive when we get there. I drained a nearby pond and filtered it, we have plenty of water. Looks like the Ion damper field genrator wont be available for awhile. I just hope i's ready before things get really bad.
Finally, we're talking again!

I received Exedra's Transmission.
I'm sending this to tell you that I'm fine for now...
If the Spambots catch me with this radio I'll probably be beaten.
So this'll be short, just so you can locate me.

Day 25 We receive a transmission from Whizz, so we know where he is, we should reach him in two days. Lets hope he lasts. Meanwhile, Gpuzzle and his crew are working on a plan to bust him out.
Day 27
I see a helicopter out of the prison bars. The people in it are breaking a man out of the cell next to me. I scream and scream for them to help me. The prisoner says that they should go back for me, but the woman says that there's not enough time. The helicopter slowly floats off into the distance becoming nothing more than a speck in the sky before it finally disappears. Three hours later the "bots" come to the cell and discover the escaped prisoner. One of them says that it's lucky I didn't escape as well. They're bringing me in for more experiments now. I hope they don't cut my head open.
Edit:For anyone not figuring it out, the "prisoner" was whizz and the "woman" was exedra. I was left in the prison to wallow in self pity.

Day 27 We radio Whizz, telling him to get as close to the door as possible, immediately, no questions. Then, we plant the charge on the back wall of his cell and move back. Ten seconds later, BOOM! We call out to Whizz, "HURRY, THE BOTS HEARD US WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME! GET TO THE PLANE NOW!"
Day 26, Location: Support Jungle.
GPuzzle's transmission:
We found a base of the spambots yesterday. Turns out Whizz and another guy was inside of it.
I'm coming back to rescue that guy, alone, just with my pistol.
I know he has a radio, so I'm going to hide mine until we can get out - at least we can recover the radio from where I left.
I'm going in.
By the way, we have until day 31 to get the Ion thruster reconnected. Ex, Whizz, I need you guys in order to power it. Go after it, but leave the Jeep.
That's the only chance we have left.
GO NOW!

The bots injected my with some drugs to make me fall asleep. I don't know what they did to me while I was out. They could have raped me for all I know, but I hope for the best. I expect the worst, but I can still feel my skin so I think i'm okay... for now.

Time Unknown
I step into the Exedra's Heli and we get transported to GPuzzle's base with the Ion Thruster.
I Telepathically call Alex to ask him to bring the Conduits here.
He says that they are at full power.
We'll need it to power the Thruster.
I also tell him to bring the Dampener.
The Dampener is 81.25% done.

They ran some more tests on me today. They injected me with something called calempheterosemen and then threw me into one of the white maximum security cells. I don't know exactly what calempheterosemen is, but I suspect that it's caused me to become radioactive as the walls of this cell are made of reinforced daxiphemel. The sides of the walls in my cell are coated with some sort of green gel that emits light. I came close to getting the radio that was in the other guys cell, but the bots smashed it. That thing was my last chance of contacting the outside and without, i'm not sure how much longer I can stand these tests.
They moved me out of the high security cell, I guess that means that the radioactivity passed out of my system. Or maybe they just don't care. They are robots after all, they may have a higher level of intellect than us, but do they have feelings? I doubt it. Some of them don't even have faces, why would they have emotions. How would they have emotions? It's impossible! Then again, fifteen years ago nobody ever thought that machines would actually rise up, it was the stuff of science fiction and forum role play threads.
Day 28
Whizz's conduits arrive They brought the Ion dampen field generator too. It just 3 days it'll be ready. Then I can assemble The Bridge™ With the rate the bots are coming in, we're going to neeed it.
28/01/0001 S.A.
8:00
The Conduits have arrived, with the Dampener.
I set them to work powering GPuzzle's Ion Thruster.
We also brought supplies for a quick MFR Farm to feed the Conduits and keep their energy up until we set up a similar setup to the one at our base.

I'm starting to see shadows on the wall that belong to nobody. I don't know where they're coming from, but they guards see them too. They brought the scientists in and they started taking notes. I think that it was some sort of test to find out what my reaction would be. I don't know how they did it, but it scared me. Bad. Two hours after the shadows showed up, they disappeared and so did the scientists. I guess they were done with their test.
Day 29
Someone came into my prison cell today, all he said was his name, Gpuzzle, and the words "What's goin' on?". It was all he could say before the bots showed up. He ran off into the jungle as they chased him off. I don't expect to see him again any time soon. They took me in for more tests today. They injected me with more drugs and checked my heartbeat and such. It was the same thing that they did the last few times, but that didn't make it any less terrible.
