The OSA is the Office of Special Affairs and is the 'secret service' of Scientology.

You get photographed without your mask and you will most likely be in the OSA's files as a SP.

I advise all anon to read this BEFORE the next protest.

A tad late for some... =/

This is particularly important for new anon; stickied.

Better late than never...

A moments silence for our namefagged colleagues

Remember though, that once they have your photo they then need to put a name to the photo, even a screen name is a start.

The worst thing is to get namefag'd, even though facefag'd is bad enough.

try to remember that we are Anonymous, we don't use names.

When at a protest, try not to use any of your friends names.

On that note, I'll answer to Falco at protests, and Falco only, even if any of you know of me by another name.

At protests, i generally use 'on the day names' i.e: Megaphone anon, red haired anon, blazer anon, blue haired anon,

Its less perma than real names you can be traced to.

"Hey Anon" tends to work.

Good point.

(sound of 60 people turning at once)

This i a proven method :)

So responding to my screen name is a bad idea???

TOLD YOU, no actual help to thread but i told you, wait. Im no better, i gave you mine. Curse Me and ur logic

(Forum Name, im not that stupid to give out my real name, I know a few annons i heard around me got caught out by there friends using there IRL name. If our bringing friends, brief them on not to use names)

I got named by a friend at the protest, because I was going to pop a balloon that got left at the church before throwing it away.


'[name] DON'T YOU DARE POP THAT BALLOON!'

Me - (To fellow Anon I was with at time,) Yeah, my names [name].

Not that they'll get very far on first name alone. =P

But... but... but... screen names???

What harm could it be?!?!?!

Real names, ok, fair enough, but 1812 has sweet f*** all to do with me.

I was called "Short Anon" for the entire day, by adult Anons ._.
I'll just answer to Anty, and only Anty for the day.

Anon76 and myself called each other Jacques at OP: Party Hard.

In the French Revolution the revolutionaries called each other Jacques to keep their real names secret. This was made public in Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

In the Iron Council, a book by China Mieville, the revolutionaries call themselves Jack. A nice nod there by China.

So, if in doubt, you should just answer to Jaques. :)

Or Geoff. Whichever one gives more lulz!

:tom:

Then call the female anons Jill, then find a hill..

You know where this is going.

I answer to... (swipes a V in a near by poster) 'V'

No, i don't, i answer to short arse...

I'll answer to anything.

Oi, Dude or streaky piece of piss will do fer me :D

According to one Anon, I'm called, John, George, Georgina, Bethany, Elizabeth, Sam, Charles III, Edward, etc.

But...not David?

Yeah, that too.

I'm David.

I'm Batman.

who wears a red tie?

I wear a black and white spotty tie.

i wear a black hat, black tie and long black coat with a black bag.

And glasses

I'M CLARK KENT

OES NOES!!! Seekrit identity compromised!!!

I'll look something like:

<= that. Preferably with a more reconnect-relevant sign.

And despite better advice, I'll still probably answer to 1812...:\

I did, and probably will be again. Any reason?

Can anyone think of a scenario when just pointing or poking the person in question wouldn't suffice?

Epic.

Just poke me and i'll turn around.

No reason, as a total noob I wanted to know what the significance was.

It comes from the Habbo Raids.

The raiders wore red ties. Thats about it.

But that seems so far ago now, back when our brothers were protesting for another reason.

I wanted to know what the significance of the red tie was

Oh! now I understand.

Now, its generally a toss up between the red and black tie.

Haha, that's all news to me. I just decided to go for it randomly.

It was originally, the red tie, black jacket, black trouser, black shoes. That was the standard Habbo Uniform.

But now things have changed, and this branch of anonymous sometimes decides to honour the other branch of anonymous a salute by wearing it.

Though our opinions divide us sometimes, we are all of the same tree.
