Hey, everyone. I logged on this evening just before 9:00 EST. We were playing the map Fractionary X2.
A couple minutes after logging in, I got a series of really bizarre phantom chat messages. They appeared as if they were a TeamSay from me, but no one else saw them. They showed in my screen, chatbox, and console. The messages were:
Moof: india kilo dance
Moof: india and dance
Moof: india alpha status
Moof: india and gimme
Moof: hotel india alpha dance
Moof: lima and freelance
Moof: kilo defend
Moof: lima everyone juliet status
Moof: lima dance
Moof: lima everyone lima status
The somewhat easier to read 5mb uncompressed BMP images are here (2.6 MB zip): http://www.moofit.com/dc/messages.zip
Else, the full uncropped JPG images are available at:

A few months back I was playing and all of a sudden a message came up like a chat message would, except it was in white. It was not read through the text to speech so I pressed F2 to see what it said. The odd part is that it shows that I said it, but I never did... I was so confused I went onto ask others if they saw it, only to discover it was just me. I didn't think too much of this, but did take the screenshot. With it happening to Moof a few minutes ago I'm once again confused...

If you would like to crop the messages so that they do not break the scroll (i.e., people do not have to horizontally scroll to the left to see the whole picture) you can repost them.

Pyra, I actually know the one of which you speak. It's a function built into that map. When you walk over a particular spot, it spits out that message at you.

Eep. Apologies. I think my resolution is a tad high
Please use the links, if you could.

Really? Wow, that's very odd, but good to know... so maybe Moof's is also map related?

Quite probably, but I'm not familiar with that particular map. My thought is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This text you saw moof must be embedded in that map...

This is why I hate any map that has triggered text messages.
The very least they could do is either make it so it can only be triggered once by each player, or make the re-trigger delay about 5 minutes or more.
Please, mappers: if you insist on putting these in there, at least don't put the trigger somewhere that a player will walk through it.

Thanks, guys. I'll poke around in the map after work today and see if that was it. The messages sure confused the heck out of me, that was all
