Procurator

You lot are disgustingly impatient.

The database strikes again!

I agree. An independent organisation would be excellent.

How does this work anyway? Aside from paying for our own transport, what else do we have to pay? There are the Fan Faire tickets themselves, and then... do we have to stay in the same hotel? I gather they have discounted prices for the Fan...

H'mm... Archived image unavailable: stonewalllarge.html or Mine's more original.

Eh... A shrine to the Glitch Society perhaps? Bit of an odd looking shrine, though. And I expect we'll see the colossal marble rendition of the faction logo in tomorrow's Image Retrieval.

He'll probably save them for tomorrow.

*Follows Illyria's lead and laughs uncontrollably at Psion's argument.* I'm not going to argue with a complete lunatic.

Zionites aren't even supposed to be in the Matrix, remember? But while they're here, they may as well do the best they can to shut the Intruder up. So I appreciate Harkee's statement. However, protecting the Bluepills does not involve anno...

I want to know if these screenshots represent current development. That is to say, does this area look now like it does in the screenshots, or were they taken ages ago and Rarebit's just stringing them out for us? If the screenshots are cu...

I don't subscribe to that view. Well, the EPN-are-idiots one, maybe, but they are lead by Popper after all.

I was gonna ask the same thing. Give!

Pyraci wrote: *shrug* Irony, it seems.... that the Machine found someone it can't control like everyone and everything else(as Gami stated), and can't do anything about it. How is that irony? It's just out of the ordinary, that's all.

I'm sorry, but the old 'you choose to work for them' argument doesn't work when it's presented without all the facts. Yes, the Machines formed the Cypherites (though they never advocated their murderous ways, but that's another argument th...

Heh, and someone else can do better, eh? The Intruder doesn't give a flying **** about anyone but himself, and can't be touched.

*Cries.* Am I the only person who didn't fight alongside Pace? The hostiles appeared in a different room to the one Pace was in and she didn't follow me when I attacked them. Edit: No, evidently I'm not the only one who didn't.

Crikey, it's certainly shaping up. By the looks of things, Rarebit (plus whoever else is working on it) has cracked open the building prefabs and added one. Now I've really got no idea how big this is going to be. I'm still convinced it's...

I reckon today's Image Retrieval will have absolutely nothing to do with the new area, just to annoy us. Footwear maybe?

No worries, Vinia. If Gami persists along this line of argument, I suggest you ignore it and focus on the matter at hand. He's just trying to distract you from the main argument. I've noticed Zionites and EPNs do that a lot. *Shrugs.*

Read my post again. Take it slowly this time.

Thanks! I've been looking forward to reading about this mission. So not only do we have confirmation that the Intruder and Mystery Man are one and the same, but apparently the Intruder said that something about Stalingrad was the reason he...

Excellent, a new one. Good work!

Here're mine. They're quite similar (apart from the last one), so you may just wanna pick one if any. Procurator - Syntax . Click for the full versions.

Okay, so, you send people to kill a supposed Bluepill murderer (was he really though? There's nothing in this report to suggest it, just what I overheard at the preceding meeting). Groovy; he's doomed. Then he blows up his ship with the Cy...

Whuh-? This gets weirder and weirder (and in this case weird is directly proportional to epic). I'm beginning to think that place isn't supposed to be under construction, at least from an in-game storyline point of view. Looks more like it...

Unless Rarebit decides to suddenly change tack, only one of the questions on the past four pages will be answered. All others will have to be quoted or re-typed immediately after his post. He should've locked this thread, stop you lot wast...

If for no other reason, you have to love the intruder for showing utter contempt for Popper and EPN. Pure class!

I can vouch for the /who areas (regionservers) being completely messed up. The area covered by a regionserver changes based on how many people are actually in a particular place. If there are lots of people, the area shrinks; if there are...

What the hell is this? Why's the General trying to look up our records on Stalingrad? At least he didn't get anything... this time. If he gets hold of my virus, I'll have him for copyright infringement.

It then turns out that Shadow's got inside knowledge and this actually happens next month. *Wakes up from the dream.* Actually, I'm not sure I'd want the cinematics to be rendered in-game. How could we ever have scenes in the Real after th...

Looking forward to it, man. Top stuff!

After all this, it's gonna be something daft, like a pair of shoes or - at best - a completely unhelpful clue as to the final product. /pessimism

Four minutes left... And then until Virrago's working day ends.
