It's a myth that they don't use contractions. Illyria

I do believe Ms. Utley's started to sweat... Illyria

Cryptos is researching ways to counter the Intruders' override programs? More power to him. Illyria

One of my factionmates suggested magma as a weapon against New Zion, since it's underground and in what sounds like a tectonically active area. But I doubt it would would against the Machines, unless their main city is sitting on top of Ye...

But I'm not a Christian, and I don't believe what it says in the Bible. You'll have to convince me, and people like me, that humans have some special quality that other sentient beings can't. Is it because we're organic, and therefore had...

The 'blueprint' for humanity is our DNA code. There's nothing in a DNA sequence that can be identified as the root of transcendence beyond our physical selves, yet Neoteny believes there is some mysterious quality we have that other sentie...

Agreed. (Although I was a Machinist from the middle of the first movie!) Illyria

So this isn't an admission of his willingness to murder bluepills...how? Illyria

Coming from a religion that doesn't have a set of commandments, a devil, original sin, or eternal damnation, my perspective may be a bit different than most people here... I would think that any intelligent or self-aware being -- human, AI...

Morpheus himself set off code bombs, in an attempt to blackmail the Machines into returning Neo's body. He understood that this would lead to the deaths of bluepills, even admitting it to the Oracle, but he didn't care. And this was while...

Congratulations Virrago! Illyria

No, it was Zion and EPN that couldn't get it done, so they had to call in accelerated programs and blueshot from outside the pvp zone. Lyr

And yet again, Zion/EPN jumps through hoops backwards to deny the truth. The Zion archives say the humans struck first, and now someone who was around at the time confirms that the humans struck first, yet they refuse to accept it. (Kind o...

This does confirm, however, that the humans struck first. Illyria

Zion and EPN support choice only if it's the "right" choice -- meaning, support them and don't work for the Machines or the Merovingian. This was apparent in the seduction missions even before the truce ended. Illyria

This is from a few nights ago. Illyria

The Intruders open up alot of questions about the world this game takes place in -- I'm hoping we get to learn more in the future! Lyr

Congratz Garutachi! Lyr

Yeahright. Illyria

Nice work, Machinists! Illyria

We have to assume adults were given jacks at the end of the original war. Illyria

I had a great time! Lyr

Thanks for a great party! Lyr

If you're "assassinating" a redpill, you'd be making them lose (possibly-valuable) code they might have on them. And if your target is a Machine program or exile, you're taking them out of action for a while, since most of them can't recon...

Sounds great -- I will definitely be there! Illyria

We were approached with that offer, we didn't officially agree to it. Illyria

I'm really looking forward to this game! Lyr

Was he really there for five hours? There are no pictures from the beginning of the battle. Illyria

Gotta love those EPN code bombs. Illyria

I have a question. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to answer it, or if they'll want to answer it, but I am curious. Now that there is no truce, and the Machines are at war with Zion (and EPN), how do the Zion and EPN organizations diff...

There are a number of possibilities concerning where Halborn and Carlyne are from. Some people are saying that Halborn's people actually control the Machines; others believe that they're some kind of experimental colony set up by the Machi...

Neoteny, if we all woke up one day and the Machines and the Matrix were gone, humanity wouldn't come together under any unified cause. There would be power grabs, people trying to set themselves up as an elite, just like in any other human...

Congrats EG! Lyr

Miller's grain can't feed all of humanity. You can grow a little grain the way you've been doing it, but I sure don't see any cornfields in Zion. You will need alot of power to generate the light that would be required for large-scale grow...

I would like to help as well. Illyria

The Machines didn't wipe out humanity as Neoteny claims. If they had, we wouldn't be here. As for growing enough food to feed all of humanity, cloning livestock, wiping out the Machines, and all that other pie in the sky stuff...anyone who...

Very cool. Lyr

Congrats GQ! Lyr

/salute. Lyr

That was a great episode. And poor Anders, after what Starbuck said to him about putting a bullet through his head! Lyr PS: Joss Whedon likes this show. 'nuff said.
