That's what caused her this contradiction.
And this is why I remain single. When there's even a hint of this sort of drama being permanent, I just walk away. I'll give her this one, but I don't think I'll let it happen again.

Ah, been there. They bring you in to work but they don't let you do your work.
I don't care because I bill by the hour, not by the photo. And I make sure they know this and I'll be billing them for my presence even if they don't let me take any photos.
I'm constantly in events where the bullies at the checkpoints ask for access credentials which I'm never given. Instead of giving me a pass or something, I have to chase around the people in charge so that they can walk me up to the checkpoint and tell the bully I'm clear. And the bullies have a short term memory of about five seconds, because this will happen again in ten minutes and fifty more times through the night. And they never remember me walking in ten minutes earlier or even having seen me in the place hours before the doors were opened and the public was allowed in.

We had a talk. Apparently she really really wanted not to be in a relationship this year because she "needed to be free of ties for a while", and "didn't want to miss out on life for a change" (whatever that means) but also she really really likes me and wants me and it was that contradiction that was causing her stress.
I had to bring up that famous quote from John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
Seems she's giving it a try. I'll post again if anything interesting happens.

You should completely disregard that. You said the answer yourself: You have a dynamic IP. Someone that had your IP before messed up on Wikipedia and got Wikipedians angry. A few days after, that IP was reassigned to you, and you're seeing things meant for someone else. Since that person didn't register as a user, only their IP got registered. Just the same, soon that IP will be assigned to yet another person and you'll have a new IP that won't be blocked.
The only way to tell computers apart on the internet with no additional communication is through their IP address. This is, of course, pretty unreliable over a period of time because of dynamic IPs. Things like this happen.
It's no big deal, really. Just ignore it. It has happened to me too.

They claim to do both. First they weed off the useless bums then they let the public choose between the qualified ones.
Yeah, sounds fishy. I'm really thinking they are actually trying to do a sort of Big Brother type reality show. It's only the novelty value of it being in Mars that would draw an even larger audience.

Nice!
I almost had a meetup with Tetsu0 in Grand Central Station in New York. Unfortunately due to a series of miscommunications we managed to miss each other completely despite both being at the same place at the same time. And I forgot to write his number so I couldn't call him to check on him :/

Jeff: I read it crashes a lot if you have a multi-core processor. Apparently you can fix it by adding this parameter to the command line (or launch options in Steam):
-CPUcount:1
I myself also use the following to use my widescreen resolution:
-CustomResolution:enabled -r1366x768x32

I'm just getting tired of "I like you as a friend". I'm all for having friends, but come on. They're doing it on purpose.
And this is why I remain single. When there's even a hint of this sort of drama being permanent, I just walk away. I'll give her this one, but I don't think I'll let it happen again.

I feel you bro.

I've been dismissed for not being interesting enough, which makes sense in a way; but getting rejected for being too interesting... that is new.
LIFE, Y U NO MAKE SENSE
And here I was thinking people would be busier looking at the time and date of an empty message.

Happy birthday!
Is our Jeff in love? Has his heart been broken?
That meaning, the smaller the hole, the better the focus will be.
YEAAAHHH
