General intelligence and chatter points to a snake - in, or in the vicinity of - the admin booth, wherever that is (no idea).
At least one snake is purportedly going to be at or near the Panty and Stocking with Garberbelt gathering; and he's likely to have 2-3 other snakes with him. If you plan on attending this gathering, please watch out.
Have fun and stay safe.

Yes, I don't believe the action was random. And no, I don't trust him, not for a second. He's a snake, and snakes rarely tell the whole truth; they lie, they deceive, they manipulate, they tell half-truths, etc. It's their nature.
Some people, when they see on exception in thousands or tens of thousands of cases will seize on their paranoia and make it look like the exception is the norm. But this guy is a snake; he's hiding a lot more, the whole story isn't out there. He plead guilty in order to avoid a trial because that would mean the rest of the story getting out there.

Multi:
1)
Yes, I can confirm Tuan Tuan's report. I was there for pretty much the whole time, though I was only doing that about a third of the time.
He was there, along with all the other usual suspects. I noticed him numerous times on the first two days, though never on the third day.
The only thing missing was his special item. Maybe he had it with him but it wasn't out, he wasn't using it. I can understand why he wouldn't want to use it (the item) in that setting.
One of B-'s old friends was there, disguised as a snake even. He did a pretty good job, B- taught his people really well. He was fooling the other snakes, though I don't think he fooled a lot of small animals.
2)
Absolutely not. One boy and one girl, of average height and wearing nothing that made them stand out. The girl was the dominant one. I say absolutely not because in that exact same moment that they were looking for me, I walked right by them in plain sight and they did not recognize me. So, go figure; seriously when will people learn. They're only going to find me if I want them to. I say the girl was the dominant one because she was the one doing all the talking and acting / showing all the initiative. The boy was just standing by her side, and never acted on his own.
Sindobook:
1) Yes it can be a problem, and I've seen it happen to my friends. But honestly I've never been caught by anyone like that. Learn the different techniques for avoiding it, sidestep, dodge, straight-arm, etc. I figure if someone ever did manage to catch me, I'd probably just end up intentionally falling over on top of them, or something like that.
2) Maybe I need to clarify, if you look at his stuff, it's should be obvious he was using his special item. But, I never observed him using it, so that is what I reported.
3) No. Not recommended. Absolutely not.
In essence it's proof that the problems from several months ago have subsided, bringing with them a whole host of new problems. It's so popular that now you are starting to see general perverts and fetishists coming out of the woodwork and latching onto whatever and whoever they can get their dirty old hands on. They're starting to organize, working together, forming their own support groups, online and off, etc. I wouldn't call them enthusiasts because they are not they are not there for the love. They don't care for the music, the genre, etc. They have no real purpose to the community, they're there to satisfy themselves and their fetishes. At the outset, these people may not be dangerous, but when they are not able to get what they want, they will start grasping at what is within range, progressively becoming more desperate and more dangerous.
4) I shouldn't have to say "I told you so". What I said above (#3) should be obvious by now.
5) It's easy to misunderstand this topic. But let me say, if you examine the common practice today, I am against that. It rarely produces good results, it rarely produces _relevant_ results. If you want to talk about it more in depth, PM me on Skype when I am around.
Sindobook:
There are bad apples in every organization. Any organization of sufficient size is going to have them. The main thing to pay attention to is how they deal with those bad apples when they do surface.
There's really not much for me to say here. It's all pretty much ignorable to me.
