I had a funny conversation with Searles last week. He IMed me shortly after Vegas agreed to escrow (which was odd because I've never talked to the guy before) and he said "Oh shit, Vegas is up for it. What do I do now?"
I said find any excuse you can not to cooperate, stall for time, play the victim, accuse Vegas of being unreasonable, make ridiculous demands, reply to every post in the relevant threads and keep them bumped, and also bring it up in unrelated threads as often as possible. He replied "Sounds like a plan".
I thought the whole convo was a joke. Maybe he was being serious. Haha.
