Wow, those are amazing! Lyr

If you continue to intrude in the Matrix, yes. At least until another truce is declared. Illyria

Read the players' responses to the Live Events threads -- they will give you a good idea of the philosophy (and people!) behind each org. Illyria

I like the Persephone/succubi picture, especially the expression of the succubus on the right. Illyria

Thank you everyone for making our anniversary party a success! Lyr

I don't think the Machines were looking for your new city...but I do know that Zion couldn't take the chance of them finding out about it before it was finished. Illyria

Gratz! Lyr

C'mon, you know that's what all the guys were doing when they were wearing their Succubus disguises! Lyr

I have not seen one time Zion tried to negotiate with the Machines, other than when the Machines wanted access to parts of Zion's mainframe. (However, after doing the most recent set of archive missions, it becomes pretty obvious why Zion...

Darkhawk's outdone herself...again! Lyr

Very true. They've been warned numerous times. Illyria

To be upset that this Zion operative is dead is like being upset that someone trespassing on private property or in a sensitive area (a government building, the White House, etc.) was shot by the police. He entered an area he wasn't suppos...

Everyone is invited to The Collective's fourth anniversary party -- Club Vault, Saturday Nov. 24th, 10 PM Eastern/7 PM Pacific on the Recursion server. Hope to see you there! Illyria

That was a great event! Lyr

Hooray! Lyr

Thank you again for the great pictures, Darkhawk -- I love your artwork! Lyr

You can be part of an organization and not support every single thing they do; you can try to change it from within. Illyria

Happy birthday! Lyr

It's Hellgate: Megacity! Lyr

There are two very obvious differences between Machinists and Cypherites. The first is that Cypherites advocated killing Zionites in the real while the truce was still on, which no Machinist that I know of agreed with! The second is that C...

Lyr

I will be on tonight. Lyr

Thank you for a great party! Lyr

Next on my list will be 'Infidel' by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. 'Collapse' is a slow read, though, so it may take me a while to get to it! Illyria

Maybe the Zionite we didn't kill was a spy for us, or someone who actually works for the Merv. Illyria

I thought the One got to pick a certain number of bluepills to repopulate Zion... Illyria

Thanks for the great party! Lyr
