Procurator

Or we stick to our convictions and ensure this doesn't happen again.

Teams send their moves in secret (/tell) to one person who acts as battle co-ordinator. This person then makes all the moves, calling for people to perform rolls if they collide, fire on each other, use an EMP, etc. He then updates the gam...

Nooooo! Let us not sink to their level. We have a reputation to think of! Join us. There, I said it. Now my post is on-topic.

I think I've seen this idea before, but it would be groovy.

From what I remember, they only ever colour Sentinel eyes red and significant objects in the Matrix green. Edit: Oh, and in cinematics 7.2 and 7.3 fire, smoke and electricity in the Real were blue.

That's a fair point, as the others have said. I'd say that should be easy to remedy, if the Devs feel like it. Just add a new string to the entries in the /who result. Cypherites and EPNs would still say 'Machines' and 'Zion' respectively,...

Agreed. Especially the latest cinematic. Give!

Oh, goodie effing gumdrops. Just when I was getting used to having to put up with less cr*p in the Matrix. (( Loved it when the Agents killed Traitor - oh, sorry, Itarrot. 'Bout time the Machines came to their senses! ))

That hadn't happened to me for ages, then it did once yesterday. I get a grey box quite often (as 'Verb says, zoom out and in to fix it), but rarely a random texture.

I hope you're not lumping all Machinists together in this, just 'cos some happen to not have a problem with the operation. 'Cos it's evident that some of us are opposed to this unecessary act.

I agree 100%! Apart from the last point, which still has the possibility of being resolved in a sensible manner that doesn't detract from the premise of the movies too much.

Johns The Enforcer: I have no significant response. *Laughs.* Awesome. And Pace called me by my first name! I don't recall any NPC doing that before, though I know it was possible.

Machinist. Procurator believes everything because I'd believe it if it were real.

During which he took close-up photos of her chest, it seems. Heheh, nice work man! The sig, that is, not your choice of angles.

The worst bug (feature?) is how when we start an attack but the NPC ducks behind a wall our attack fails, whereas as soon as an NPC starts an attack against us it's guaranteed to hit no matter where we are.

What's all this about us needing 'the Machine', as you so creatively put it? If Zion doesn't need them, neither do we - we're not less resourceful than you. We left to work with (or for, depending on your point of view and the facts at you...
