Greetings message v6.43
« on: October 11, 2014, 03:33:49 PM »
Just clicked on my Aurora desktop shortcut to the exe and the following pop-up appeared :-

Greetings Professor Falken , shall we play a game?

Clicking on OK took me to the game details menu to choose which game to play.

Has anyone else seen this message, or is it a bit of malware ?

linkxcs ,

First time I have seen it in over hundreds of clicking on the shortcut icon. No , have not got a screenshot , clicked on OK and was taken to the Game. My virus scanners have not picked up anything unusual so far.

I had it one time.  I presume it's intentional, and intentionally rare.

My Theodidactus, now I see that you are excessively simple of mind and more gullible than most. The Crystal Sphere you seek cannot be found in nature, look about you...wander the whole cosmos, and you will find nothing but the clear sweet breezes of the great ethereal ocean enclosed not by any bound

Years ago my uncle gave me a "alien" license as a present (in a card) that had that joke.

...And apparently by both genders! ;D

...I guess there is a reason why his/her health condition declined this early.

...Not assigned to a command, but still "in Tour" for nearly 7 years.

...Despite her/his low rating, he/she hopes for Rear Admiral someday.

Enough!

Man, this made me look through my commanders and I found one with this joke in it, but I lost him scrolling through. I searched again but couldn't find him/her.
