Could you imagine if they tried to interface with The Grim? Haha I'm sure roleplayers are a hard nut to crack!

Just to play with a funny idea. I imagine one NSA operator talking to another:
NSA1 "We've infiltrated the third level of [REDACTED] terrorist organization."
NSA2 "I'm still trying to get these roleplayers to let me in. I've discovered that they're using a secret form of communication known as 'Orcish'. I'm pretty sure that Lok'tar Ogar is some sort of death threat to the president"
NSA1 "No shit? Do they have a forum?"
NSA2 "Yeah but every time I try to post on there I'm told to post 'in character' and ejected from their discussion."
NSA1 "Noob"
Realistically I'm well aware that if someone wanted to intercept my communications be they in a video game, on a cell phone, letters, or even using a TOR client that it isn't difficult to attain. Hell I don't even work for a government agency and you would be very surprised at what our product can tell our customers about their end users (location, conversation, names, data {passwords included}, and oh yeah we store 2+ years of this).
Believe me. I am not disillusioned into a false sense of privacy.

What if the NSA started the Grim and has been monitoring us this whole time? I'm onto you Pincus!
