Wotcleaks Preparing To Release More “WoTC Internal Memo” Documents

I thought, for fun, I would quickly take an article about wikileaks, and run a Find/Replace on various words and phrases, thus altering the article and making it a bit more relevant to our interests…

Seattle — Wotcleaks spokesman Epik Dungin said Thursday his organization is preparing to release the rest of the secret WoTC Internal Memo documents it has on file. Wizards of the Coast warned that would be more damaging to security and risk more lives than the organization’s initial release of some 76,000 Internal Memo documents.

That extraordinary disclosure, which laid bare classified WoTC documents covering WoTC Internal Memos from 2004 to 2010, has angered gaming officials, energized critics of the Wizards’-led campaign, and drawn the attention of the popular bloggers, which has promised to use the material to track down people it considers traitors.

Wizards of the Coast says it believes it has identified the additional 15,000 classified documents, and said Thursday that their exposure would be even more damaging to Wizards than what has already been published.

WoTC Press Secretary Trevor Kidd described the prospective publication as the “height of irresponsibility.”

“It would compound a mistake that has already put far too many lives at risk,” he said.

Speaking via videolink to Seattle’s Gamer Club, Dungin brushed aside Wizards of the Coast’s demands that he stop publishing their internal memo documents. He gave no specific timeframe for the release of the 15,000 remaining files, but said his organization had gone through about half of them.

“We’re about 7,000 reports in,” he said, describing the process of combing through the files to ensure that no employees would be hurt by their disclosure as “very expensive and very painstaking.”

Still, he told the audience that he would “absolutely” publish them. He gave no indication whether he would give the documents to media outlets The New York Times, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel – as he has before – or simply dump them on the Wotcleaks website.

The leaks exposed unreported incidents of class nerfing by Wizards’ forces and covert operations against popular blogging figures. Dungin has said that hundreds of those reports should be investigated by the media for evidence of gaming crimes.
