In Agent Gray's own words, negotiations could not begin until Zionites "laid down their arms" (i.e. deactivated the defenses of New Zion, weapons in the Matrix mean nothing). We're not the ones prohibiting peace talks, we're simply unwilli...

Flood stated that coercing the Accelerated Man to their side was their goal yesterday. I somehow doubt they'll succeed.

...There's nothing to see, it's just a screenshot from yesterday's Merv event.

And do you never question the law you enforce? Do you take it for granted that all non-Machine affiliated redpills should be removed from the System? Do you never question why it is that they want you to remove them? Have you even consider...

I'd like to raise the point of weaponry and defensive technologies. Obviously the Machines never disarmed. Matter of fact, it even seems like they've kept the warfactory going at a good, steady pace. 500,000 Sentinels poised to strike outs...

Gonna go ahead and call it again with the mystery man going to the Machine City. Just 'cause that seems like a good reason he'd be watching the video of Neo.

Err... I hope it's perpetual by default... 'Cause it would really suck to have a war sword timing out and vanishing on you every two minutes.

AWESOME.

I like the idea of a new, Machine-built Zion. So here's my go... EPN stumbles upon the new city the Machines are building in time enough to find the extracted blues and gather at least some on their ships and bolt just before the tide of S...

Mine's on vibrate, and otherwise, a default tone 'cause I'm too cheap to buy a new one.

((I think that was refuted when they challenged Zion, and we beat 'em 3 to 2. But yes, more Machinist ships would be a good thing.))

The issue's fixed, I believe. I was unable to login from 8:41 Eastern to 9:40ish Eastern, but everything works now.

I'm quite interested in finding out what a "Reach the objective" based battle constitutes. Namely, where the objective will be on the map, and if it's the objective for both sides, or if one has to protect the "objective."

Remmington Steele AKA Pierce Brosnan plus a ponytail would be rather fitting for Neoteny.

This explains the lack of "Week in Review" and Raijinn doing important things. I guess. Anywho, welcome to the community, Virrago. So long as you can meet our hostile demands, we'll be nice and warm to you.

Happy beef day pee-ess-ten-en

So... you're Cypherites who work for free, or, otherwise, a severely reduced wage? Somehow, this doesn't bring you any higher than them in my eyes.

Your ideology is the only thing that differs, and there is little difference, even, at that. And, even though you may express your ideology, you consent to act under theirs. Put simply, you say one thing and do another. All I've heard are...

You should feel insulted. The Cypherites are disgusting creatures. The fact that Machinists are becoming Cypherites is equally disgusting. I suggest that you are stooping to their level by killing. Merely because you do not delight in it d...

Just stickin' a little extra firepower in our friends' hands should they fall short. I'm here and willing to assist, as well.

/cry I really wanted a Morpheus trench, but... Oh well. Reckon I just won't farm these out and I'll hope for better stuff on the other sides. I've done these missions already, anyhow.

Happy Beefday, Ves!

It was easy enough to catch despite that little factor, Iovai. The Saltpillar is registered, and will be going after any and all Cypherite ships, but will also engage any other hostiles who initiate combat.
