SolidRevolver, you yourself replied to a thread in Redpill Rescue that was concerned with a new player wanting to get the Mobius code; how can you suggest that it is unimportant?

Redpill Prisoner's Dilemma - Beta

Well the "Always Betray" strategy is the most obvious, but in many cases is not shown to be the most effective strategy. Another problem I encountered while constructing this is that, as mentioned, the rounds are definite. I guess if I cou...

Redpill Prisoner's Dilemma - Beta

Wow...I thought people would find this fun, or at least interesting. It is a break from typical pvp tournaments. Really, no one is interested? Why not exactly?

The Matrix Online Producer Letter

Oh I think I'm going to vomit. Losing Cinematics is terrible. I'm pretty sure it has been said in the past that losing cinematics would be the first sign of SOE letting this game go. It's only a matter of time before the fire Rarebit, and...

I completely agree that old threads that are relevant should be bumped, but there seems to be a fear of being flamed with "Necro!" for that. I'll leave before it gets more off-topic.

Hmm...this leads me to wonder...what do you think a fight between Seraph and Halborn would look like? I'd be interested to see...maybe thats why Seraph was cloaked at first, to surprise anyone thinking they had got to the Oracle.

About the 'kill-an-agent' missions

Well Unlimits were actually killable, and I'm sure there have been a few cases where characters (maybe not major ones) have had their EJP disabled and killed. Also Agent Skinner was completely deleted if I'm not mistaken.
