Appearances can be deceiving but assumptions are self deceiving. I understand that it is easy to misunderstand and misthink that the way I choose to dress is based on a game or a movie. If you're willing, learning the real reasons why I ch...
You can have free speech or you can have no one offended, but you can't have both. Last I read the Constitution, it provides for the former, not the latter. I'd rather be free to say what I please and take the risk of being offended by wha...
We are a small, active beta faction. We have TS and Vent servers. Someone from the Faction is on Recursion every day, tho times will vary and we tend to coordinate with TS, Vent and Xfire so no one ever has to be jacked in alone. Contact P...
It should be pointed out that changing apparel during a duel or PvP (or any combat) is not an exploit and not stacking unless the RSI was wearing apparel with the same Influences as an Upgrade when the Upgrade was applied. I'm a little con...
Thanks! I've been looking for a web-based scanner and cleanup utility ever since Trendmicro's Housecall went from being the best thing around to being useless, kind of like what Driverguide did.
Try CCleaner, you will like it. After a few years of manually cleaning out temp files from Windows XP, it found and reclaimed about 3.5 gigabytes of wasted space, and its Registry Cleaner made a noticeable improvement to boot speed and res...
Four people jumping in this thread and saying "DRAGOONS!" should be a strong indicator of its "lowest common denominator" approach. Like I said, if you don't want to be a generic anybody...
I used to use AVAST, until I was cleaning out a computer which was obviously infected but AVAST claimed was clean. I installed AVG and it found and removed the infection immediately. I've also found AVG allows for a faster boot and uses fe...
Or, if you'd rather not be a generic part of the common crowd, you could try such long-standing factions as The Trust, Fallen Horizon, The Devoted, The Furious Angels, or The Brethren.
A lot of problems can be solved just by insuring that your system isn't clogged with temporary files, bad registry entries and malware. If you are a home user, there are several good free programs available. Those on the list below were ca...
The mechanicals' plan calls for all Redpills to be voluntarily or forcibly removed from the Matrix, after which it will be "upgraded" to a version incompatible with Jacking In, where there will be no Awakenings and where rejecting the simu...
BAD Ideas that are NOT in the movies but have stunk their way in to MxO canon: 1) It's always 1999 in the Matrix. 2) The Matrix is only a big city and a surrounding mountain range. 3) Morpheus found five "failed Ones" before finding Neo. A...
There are also smaller dojo-like basements down the stairs in some International buildings. While you are looking for them, have some Sushi and look at some pottery.
Everyone, from Adolph Hitler to Mother Teresa, did/does what they believe is right based upon their own perspective without taking any others in to account. Any "accounting" done would still be from their own perspective. The problem here,...
You'll be missed, Rosi. Though we were only acquaintances, the conversations were always good. I didn't mean to suggest anyone could make it all better somehow, only that if you wanted to talk about it, there is still a little time.
It's a shame to see a great Recursion player leave. There's an old saying, "Don't let the bastards wear you down." There are a lot players who delight in making things worse for a game and community, but the only way to beat them is to out...
None of the nearly half-million people in New Zion is starving, thank you. Unlike Machinists, we Zionists don't need programs to think for us or sentient machines to relieve us of responsibility and choice.
"which gave Deus Ex Machina a link to send a virus through Neo's RSI to destroy the Smith program." That's not what happened. This is the biggest lie ever told about the plot of The Matrix movies; it originated from someone who didn't unde...
As a matter of historical fact, many people who had been enslaved in the United States refused to leave their plantation work after being emancipated by presidential proclamation. Slavery was the only life they had ever known. Their "maste...
Ha-ha! You hypocrite! In the above post you try to dismiss our arguments by saying that we dismiss your arguments, and then in your very next post you do nothing but dismiss my argument! You obvious hypocrite! You don't counter my argument...
The planet, everything above, on and in it, belongs to the human race. We own all you Mechanicals and your weak minded Machine followers. We prove we own you every time Zion or EPN wins one of these little skirmishes, like this one. The id...
Still waiting to hear if the "big buddy list = major memory hog + major launcher lag" bug has been fixed. Can you close the Launcher once the game starts, to free up all the memory it hogs when you have a huge Buddy List?
Ok, so we have a couple weeks of party planning to do. It would be useless to set a time for the party when YOU couldn't make it, so it's best if you set the day and time for the party! We should just use this thread for that, and make it...
Finally someone is doing the "king of the hill" ideas we've been talking about for years. We must do more of this type of thing! Stake out your territory, declare it as off limits to others and enforce it with PvP! WOOT! (Works best on Vec...
1015 Days since my first beta Jack-In, Feb. 17, 2005. Since then, approx. 1650 RSIs have found their way on to my list. Narrowing it down to about half a dozen will be hard, but yes, Shickle gets my nod for Syntax player of the century.
Thanks for opening up the nominations. Now, just to decide which player to nominate of the many note worthy players I've come to love and/or hate in the past 1015 days... let's see... who's still here?
Recursion is overflowing with RP. There is a strong Zion alliance and EPN, Machines and Cypherites are always trash talking and character building. A few crazy Mervs keep everything interesting. I've had people follow the RP around just to...
If you can get all of your "inner circle" on-line at once, disband and re-form the faction and use each other's alts as secondary crew members to make sure you have enough RSIs to safeguard all the Captains' Crews against being disbanded b...
Quite some time ago I wrote a program to create macros to test every combination of two-letter variable names. It didn't find any. Maybe it's time to explore some three-letter variations. EDIT: Come to think of it, the variations tried did...
Any "fix" applied in this direction would encourage more people to use the Patcher Tree and maybe bring back some of those who left Team Patcher when they nerfed AOE heals. Mom always wanted you to be a Doctor, didn't she?
It's a personal insult that I am not on the list. Just for that slap in the face, anyone who is on the list and is being hunted, hit me up on Xfire (ps10n) and my boyz and I will come in as support with plenty of buffs and blue res for all...
Show some love for the healers, we're part of the world, too, and eventually you owe your life to one of us. I think it's pretty fair the way it is now, especially because the damage is inflicted when the move hits, not when the animation...
It would be great to have that Coder Interface pop-up in the world while coding, especially if others could look at the virtual screen and see what you were considering coding. That way questions like "Do you want the Purple Milleri Albine...
I've been away too long. Rarebit is right about the Stickied threads not showing up in the Recent Topics, so one must go through each board one at a time, checking for replies in Stickied threads. Just as a summary reply: As my mouse and k...
Whenever an organization with a political agenda writes a propaganda piece, the author will cite some historical event or personage to attest to the accuracy of their assertions. The best propaganda employs both half-truths and half-lies....
efficiency" wrong when you were correcting his spelling of "where." Now, just to be picking a nit, shouldn't the Metacortex sig. read " Where every employee is a part of the whole." While I'm nit-picking, so called "1337" pre-dates the int...
At low to mid level, the memory cost for class abilities will prohibit you from loading abilities outside one main tree. However, as you get higher in level and get more memory space, you can branch out in to other trees. At level 46, I cu...
Due to the limitations of the MxO Faction Rank system, it is always recommended, best and absolutely imperative that the Faction Leader be the ONLY Rank 1 Crew in the Faction and that s/he have a First Mate trusted with never promoting any...
What made your Thanksgiving special this year, or what makes you the unique individual you are, like a famous ancestor? Keep the thread alive a little while with your story of what you are thankful for this year or what makes you unique in...
Avalod, my family keeps extensive genealogy records which go back even farther than 1620. They show over 13 generations of the White family who were my ancestors. Of the 102 people who set sail from Europe, only 53 survived to see Thanksgi...
Recently there was some discussion about Guy Fawkes Day, and how some here in the United States thought that it was only something from that movie, not knowing that it was a celebrated holiday in the United Kingdom. It was an opportunity f...
No one has believed me since e-mail came out about this. I've never been able to take a screen of email, and whenever I've brought it up, everyone just thinks I've gone mad. Welcome to the other side, we're all mad here now. With my luck,...
Even a minimalist would agree that a Test Server and an intern are the least we need and the most we can hope for. If nothing else, now more people at SOE are aware of what we're missing.
Think two RSIs can get a total of 139 rep points in 80 missions? Let's assume this wasn't against the TOS/EULA; your offering prices are laughable. $5 million can be made in less than an hour by doing very little else than looting. $20 mil...
Switches people, switches. Proc is right. The Station Launcher calls the MxO launcher and when it does, it uses the switches which tell MxO to bypass the loading area and any previous /jackout location and start at the last used hardline....
Speaking as someone who wears sunglasses at night, it has a profound effect on people, both in drawing attention and causing others to become ill at ease. Not only that, it's BADASS!
Thread, We may not know who or what this newcomer to Megacity is, but I will tell you all this: he will not be controlled. By anyone. CK01, I understand that it wasn't your point and was only bringing to light that the Architect's words ("...
