Procurator

Good grief, what was that? You people clearly have no sense of perspective. Whether the rumours of a colony are true or not, Carlyne is way out of any of our leagues. The very idea of the Merv being able to offer him something to entice Ca...

Incidentally, if we ever find out more about this secret colony, I hope to god that it isn't called 'The Oligarchy'. I wouldn't have called pre-War England, Germany, the US and all the rest of them 'The Democracy'.

While I applaud the principle of getting Halborn out of the Matrix... Oh-hoho, you're in trouble now. If he can't get into the Matrix anymore, he's going to head to his next target all the faster. Let's hope New Zion is on its toes - I rec...

(( Ye gods, more mainframes standing in the middle of rooms? Isn't there a different prop available? ))

(( Whuh? Again?! And I didn't notice it this time. So yeah, for future reference to anyone who's bothered, the correct grammatical construct is would've , shortened from 'would have'. 'Would of' has no meaning. ))

I hope you feel better soon, lass.

Ha-hah! I'm not the only one to notice that. I understand why people type 'would of' instead of 'would have', but I've no idea how someone could be in that mindset only to later express themselves correctly. Tell us your secret!

Heh, welcome back to the madhouse. I'm sure you've been looking forward to it.

Aw, you had to go and tell everyone.

I can't speak for the other things, but I don't think the FM-1500 can be considered a bonus to gunners in general. Nor was it introduced this year.

You actually... want Colt? That's embarrassing. Or it would be for me if he went Mech.

I don't know, Rare. You and your randomly placed mainframes.

Well Colt doesn't like the prospect of Lock in charge again, although I haven't seen it suggested that Lock is getting his position back yet anyway. I wonder if Roland feels the same way. This is going to be fun.

(( Yes, you played the part very well. Congratulations. ))

You're not going to reply to this, eh? Good, that's a weight off my mind. I do have other things to do today, believe it or not. I'm not an expert in the art or causes of warfare, but I don't need to be to see that many wars were completel...

You could try making a case for your work's worth instead of making snide remarks at my fellow Machinists.

I was wondering a couple of days ago whether the battle would affect the story much. I know Lock is a big name, but I don't think his death, capture or survival would have made much difference ultimately. When he was left in Old Zion, Rola...

Trace, maybe you'd like to ask Veil herself. Or even Halborn! Seriously, go and check the facts first.

I'd love to see this finished, but for now I'll happily use that stuff that's already there. Beyond the front page, as some of you know.

I hope the opportunity for more org weapons hasn't been obliterated by the addition of these level 50 guns. Shouldn't be the case, of course: pick one of the guns, make it a funky colour and increase the damage by 1pt.

Heh, that's a lot. Nice going!

My alts are called CapnProcurator and CaptProcurator, and are all the same character. The problem with playing the same character is that - if you're going for realism at any rate - they can't join other factions. How can I, Procurator, be...

It had better be a new item, whatever it is. And ideally not green trousers... I don't think the people who went to Fan Faire 2007 & 2008 want to look like the Riddler. But I could be wrong. If Rarebit intends to follow the same inspiratio...

They're clearly at a high technological level, no doubt on par with the Machines. They're also at peace, or have some other deal going that makes the Matrix and the war between Zion and Zero-One utterly insignificant.

Meh, I'm right nervous about booking a flight, seeing as they're non-refundable. Anyone have any bad stories, warnings or general tips about air travel to & from previous fan faires? £500-£600 is a lot of money to waste.

Take it easy, Virrago, and try not to think of the mess you'll have to clear up when you get back.

The standard rate at the moment (though I could swear it was less a few hours ago) is $145. >_>

Confirmed at last! However, er... booking through the hotel's own system (which I tried a few hours ago) was a lot cheaper than SOE's 'discounted' rate. Now the rates have jumped up.

Excellent work, thanks! My suspicions were justified: Carlyne's ship sounds a lot like mine, except for being smaller. Streamlined, internal (recessed) hoverpads, stealthy design, fast and maneuverable. Grr.

H'mm, I need a transcript of this mission. If it's going on about high-tech ships, this is relevant to my interests .

Nah, they've overwritten a few Redpills. That's why Seraph went on a little rampage.

Yeah, but, but... hands is glow.
