And uh, what are you offering the lucky winner other than the title and responsibilites of your "graphics lead?"

I'm pretty sure Mantra posted a picture of his registration in the other thread.

Hmm. Organizing a search party, eh? Maybe a counter-effort is in order. ((Seriously cool event, though. Vogt seems to be coming up with cooler stuff by the day.))

Trivium - "Like Light to the Flies" Ascendancy is a surprisingly good album, especially considering how little I liked The Crusade.

Probably the reward for completing the new box-y thing with the ninjas.

If you don't like interlock, go ahead and use another class like hacker or gunman. Honestly, the fact that this game doesn't have a combat system as horrible as Star Wars Galaxies' is probably why I still play it.

Oh yeah, looks like she really wanted to be there. Good job, EPN.

Well, SWG is practically the walking dead. A KOTOR MMO would catch my interest, though. Especially if SoE has nothing to do with it.

Will we ever get something like that ridiculous bandana? That'd be pretty cool.

Infinitely more enjoyable than the new Zion crit. I had also called the Danielle Wright thing.

...Meh. These missions have become so *CENSORED* tedious - nothing new has been learned, every live event has been the same, every mission has been the same. This is just like when the Intruders were introduced and we were all bored out of...

Funny, as soon as I saw "missiles," I thought "unibody hovercraft." Which really is no surprise considering their proximity to the No-Fly Zone, which we assume is where the "intruders" come from.

Naaah. And I'm sorry I've been slacking with these, folks. I'll try and post them a bit more promptly. [10.2.3] Line Feed Mission Details: Help narrow down the old network of restricted lines. Datalink established. Tyndall: We're making si...

I wouldn't be surprised if it were Mauser with the override powers. After all, that seems to be the standard among the jacked-in freeborn. The mention of Soren is... Interesting, I suppose. Was Mauser just there looking up documents relati...

It's the same for me running XP. Same exact corruption, too. You should be able to take .bmp and .jpg screenshots in fullscreen mode, just try to prepare for those .bmp moments.

If that's the case, that's fine and I apologize. I just don't want to see one of these (or two, as it may be) popping up every couple months like it seems to happen with the "Rate My Sig" thread and the "Real Life Pictures Here" thread.

From what I can tell, all that was changed was that the top image was enlarged (with the names of liaisons), Mauser was added, fonts were enlarged, Zion's font color was changed slightly, Carlyne was added, and "(Left the Matrix)" was adde...

As stated in the mission, it's a reference to the phrase "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents," which was part of the introductory sentence of an 1830 novel called Paul Clifford by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. The full sente...

Gonna do my best, but I need a job and there are certain forces at play which could keep me from going.

Cacophony - Where My Fortune Lies

You assume that power should be in any hands at all.

My morbid guess is that Halborn found the BIP and Mauser's body, transferred his consciousness into Mauser's body, and is lingering in the Matrix for some reason. Another darker guess is that the Machines used advanced technology to jack h...

Man, these really don't drop often enough. After hours of trying to get some, we got one enhanced level 50 shotgun. With over 300 of these things, it'll take forever to get them, and it won't be fun to do so.

My first thought was TIMCAMM, but, well, I'll consign myself to the fact that he's been deleted. Halborn sounds like a real possibility. Perhaps he's found a downed hovercraft somewhere out there and taken liberty of their conventional bro...

Well, I count 8 pieces of clothing altogether there. And I'm pretty sure that I've seen that dress and those pants before, so I'd guess that the rest is the new stuff. Looks good.

Hmm... Wasn't there something else like this that happened before? Or is that just that deja vu kicking in again?

I'm pretty sure 9mmfu and Dracomet have both refuted those claims and said that they are full-time developers for MxO.

If this bubbly teen is an integral part of an exile revolution, I'll eat my hat. My delicious, nonexistent hat.

I don't know. I'd doubt it because: 1. A severe overhaul of an already working jack-in procedure in order to make redpills equal to "intruders." 2. We've been told that "intruders" are freeborn. 3. We've been told that "intruders" come fro...

Press coverage? In my MxO? Despite my distaste for MxO parties, I'll be there if I've got nothing better to do that night.
