Procurator

Nice going, kids! Caini wrote: Mandarin and all machine operatives must be eliminated for the sake of freedom. Yeah, good luck with that.

I think half of them say stuff like 'praise Neo' and 'may Neo watch over us', while the other half deny that they do it.

The System, with a capital ess. As in: the Matrix. Harming the Matrix is against the law. There are no rights of protest within the Machines' domain. Constitutional rights? *Laughs.*

It's stylised somewhat. I should've posted the link to Darkhawk's DeviantArt page .

Application received! If they haven't already, our recruitment officers (Lorellei and Tiango) will meet you in-game for a quick interview before recruiting. Looking forward to meeting you!

I'm looking forward to it 'cos I'm finally going to be in-game for it. The university firewall can't block me now! Mwua-hahahahahahahahahah!

I have to post again? Bah. Currently live in Hampshire, England. But I was born in Nottingham and lived most of my childhood in Switzerland.

Let me see if I can work out what's going on. The Joker was using twelve shells (each posing as a different famous character) for some nefarious purpose. Four were destroyed on Syntax (the event summary is now up), four on Recursion (the e...

I won't even pretend to understand what's going on, as I haven't been following the Joker's activities, but that looked like an interesting event. How did the Effectuator shell die? He hid from an operative, came out of hiding, then died....

It makes them look bad because Gray hasn't told us , his operatives, that Wright is in custody rather than dead. That's exactly how they treated the Cypherite issue.

FURTHER SPOILERS (though, let's face it, you shouldn't be reading this thread if you haven't played the mission) Wright's not dead. Can't be. She's been in loads of events (clever ones at that), built up as a pretty powerful character, the...

I was shocked a few missions back when she called me Chris, and said so, but apparently she's used our first names a few times. It's just plain odd to be called Chris. None of my faction mates call me that, just Procurator. Most of Redpill...

H'mm. That was... Nah, that can't be it. There's something else going on.

Make sure you put Steam back into offline mode before you go back to uni. That's the one thing I hate about Steam: if it thinks it can download an update, it tries and puts the whole game out of commission even if it fails to download the...

Indeed. This is a good thing.

Anyone else pre-ordered the Orange Box on Steam and got the 'beta' of TF2 yet? (I wouldn't call it a real beta; the game's finished. All they're looking for are patch-worthy niggles.) So far I've just listened to the commentary and faffed...

And it just makes sense. If the Machinists have a bigger fleet, they're gonna kick bottom. If other orgs have a bigger fleet, they'd better get out there and prove it.

It's a daft system, to be sure. You could just call the times 'Pacific' and 'Eastern', as they change between PST/EST and PDT/EDT with the seasons.

Time : Saturday September 15, 12 AM MCT (12 PST, 3 EST, 8 GMT+1)

Yup. Pretty much guarantees a live event some time this week where we go looking for Silver.

She's a right oddball, that one. God knows what she's up to. 'The Matrix will be yours one day.' Ha-hah! She's at it again! Human control of the Matrix... Of all the visions of the future I've heard, that is the most preposterous.

No Cypherites? I certainly didn't see that coming.

I'll be glad to help you out with that... if I have the time.

Oooh. How big is this gonna become? Will it be a full-blown automatic battle simulator, or will it still need images to be manually created and uploaded?

No, you aren't. I mean, you're attacking the power lines, for God's sake. The power lines lying open on the surface of the Earth unprotected and unshielded. Ever give that some thought?

Oooh, I remember this. Good stuff. No use for me, as my ship's a bit... odd, but nevertheless a good find.

Yes. Yes they are.

I shall say this one more time: Give!

Sadly, there are invariably those who don't check the faction sites or forums. While we may do all we can to encourage them to, an in-game MOTD would really get the point across.

*Laughs.*
