This past January, a rather suspicious character popped up that made several people take note. Giancarlo Takacs asked me if I knew of Ivy Spore, to which I replied that I did not. Ivy Spore immediately admitted that he was also Dicky Donardson. Upon further conversations with Gahum Riptide and Aldero Akami, I discovered that Ivy Spore had spoken to them, also, and had told Gahum that he had 4 accounts. I searched Ivy Spore on the all tab, and a profile for Lemera Donardson showed up. On the Lemera Donardson 2nd life tab, it said "profile pic by Ivy Spore." Don't bother looking now because it has been changed since then, and I didn't take a picture of it, so you'll have to take my word for it.

I happened to be talking to Gahum Riptide at the time that I found the Lemera Donardson profile, so Gahum went on his web browser and Googled Lemera Donardson. He found this humorous yet unsettling conversation on a blog. Please feel free to click on the link at your leisure.

A notecard has been circulating that was allegedly made from open chat, at an undisclosed location. In this conversation, Ivy Spore and Aribella Dinzeo are talking about their careers as con artists and content thieves. On Aribella Dinzeo's profile, I noticed that her one group showing is Voice Verified, which is Willilicious Georgette and Robby Questi's group. I had asked Willi about her, and he replied that she was just a casual acquaintance, that nobody in the group was particularly close to or knew much about.

The notecard has been posted on the Juicy blog.

I had renamed the Ivy and Aribella conversation in my inventory, to make it easier to find, but you can still see who the creator is. The creator of the notecard appears to be an alt, judging from his blank profile.

Regardless of whether or not the conversation notecard is genuine, there are other notecards going around. One is from Phantom Republic, and has conversations with Truth Hawks and Theodore Ducasse. In these conversations, they are telling Phantom about how Ivy Spore obtained thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from them, under the false pretense of wanting to blog their items, and then not writing the articles on all the items.

Looking at Ivy's profile would seem to authenticate the conversation notecard. Note the use of capitalization and punctuation.

Ivy also has Ajay in his profile, who is mentioned in the notecard.
