Definately a fanatic. I have a feeling that he's so blinded by his hero worship of Neo that he doesn't quite *get* why the One did what he did and chose what he chose. Neo sacrificed himself ultimately to save both the Real and the Matrix...

I have to admit that I don't understand what's so cool about vampires, since my first exposure to the idea of vampires was the original legends that Bram Stoker spun/twisted into the modern vampire: the vampires of legend were elemental en...

Hee, you can see me good in the second to the last of Flood's snaps of the incident: I'm standing right in front of him in the strapless red dress. You can't miss seeing me. ...But apparantly he did. :: Sighs::

Hee, I like that idea! And I suppose if I ever decide to run the Archivals for the other orgs (when the devs finally solve the problem with the rep point loss if you run missions for the other orgs: I don't wanna lose points with my boss.....

Okay... OOC, I'm beside myself with glee at the Archival missions: I think they're the best thing the devs have given us so far and they're a real help to me, since it's done a lot to really help me get up to speed with the storyline. It's...

Whew... glad they found out the problem that caused all of Flood's phone calls to be rerouted to Tyndall's cellphone. I suspect Maxson had something to do with it.

Hee, I'm sort of in one of the pics: I'm the cantaloupe-ed wad behind the chat text box in the next-to-the-last shot. I had fun helping pulverize your flash-light-eyed buddies, but no one folds me or anyone I care about into a human origam...

Nuts, I was looking forward to tracking him down and SMG-whipping him before I tossed him back to you. Ah well! ::Jacks in anyway::

You know, much as I don't mind there being people who want to go back since we all can't unplug or people like my esteemed employer and the fellow who makes my RSI's heart go pitter-patter and every other Exile would lose their home *and*...

Whew, thanks, Gothique! I finally got the most recent QA patch *FINALLY* installed the other night (250 MB, and it took about six hours all totalled), so come March 28th, once I do that tweaking, I'll be good to go. Sorry I spazzed on ever...

I think I got this figured out, and it took a matter of looking under the hood of both copies of the launcher. Correct me if I'm wrong, but removing the useropts.cfg file turns the test server launcher into a clone of the original installa...

::Completely and utterly lost now, wondering if between this and the vampire madness on Recursion, she should just cut her losses and cancel her account::

I've been keeping this since I started playing back in early November: http://sieges.livejournal.com/profile Enjoy!

Best thread ever. Limerick to come, once I come up with something that rhymes with "Flood", that isn't "blood".

I hate to sound like a grump, but this talk of a new combat system has me a little ruffled: I just started playing and I'm getting the hang of the combat system; now it's gonna get changed. And the ins and outs of the test thing have me wa...

Nice work! I've only been playing since last week, but I had been trying to follow the storyline since the official launch date. I knew I'd been missing some of what went on, so this really helps me catch up. Thanks!
