Rarebit

Look closer at the Image Retrieval before this one.

A shock ending finished off a wild back-and-forth battle on Syntax in which each of the three sides appeared to have a decisive lead at some point. Zion started strong, in clear command of the rooftop as the event characters appeared. Ooka...

EPN/Zion won on Vector. In the end I had to remove health regeneration from the event characters because my machine hosting Pace and Ookami was throwing fits today. Zion/EPN kept up steady heals on Ghost. Wed Feb 11 14:54:40 2009 [System]...

There was a hint about the Trainman being involved with the Oracle a little while back that I don't think was caught. It involves a few of my favorite characters, so I'll just go ahead and point it out. :) First, recall that the Merv was l...

No image retrieval today. We should probably get some build notes together though...

PVP in the Government Building area on Vector will be set to all-level in about 10 minutes.

That's it for today!

Amazing seesaw battle today on Syntax! The Mervs pulled out the victory with a concentrated ambush on Agent Pace just after a massive CYPH/Machine push had taken down Ghost. Tue Feb 10 14:29:45 2009 [System] {4}Ghost was just killed by End...

PVP flag will go up around the Government Building on Syntax in about 15 minutes in preparation for the battle.

EPN/Zion won this battle, with EPN ExternalError taking down the Agent Pace of the Machines, then EPN Thespian eliminating the Merovingian's Ookami. Zion's Ghost took a hit or two but was mostly untouched, and was also surrounded by healer...

No hugs for Merv! Non! Zut alors! Ya know if you just read the first half of that article--especially slippery paragraph 5--you couldn't really be blamed for coming away with the idea that it was the movie actors themselves playing the onl...

Pace/Ookami are sharing a machine (dual client) and crashed at one point. Ghost took a powder until they could all come back, then they all started again at full health. Ghost went unattackable after Pace and Ookami were down.

On Recursion today, Mervs held the rooftop early, then EPN and Zion stormed in. I *hear* those meanies were ganking Mervs in the lobby. The take-downs: Mon Feb 09 14:14:40 2009 [System] {4}Agent Pace was just killed by ExternalError. Mon F...

The Government Building region on Recursion will be flagged in about ten minutes in preparation for the fight. It is org-based PVP with no safe minimum level. Level 100 Agent spawns on Zionites in Park East will be disabled (eh if this wor...

Ooh, Ms. Pac-Man. Good choice. :)

The hardest thing for some people to accept is that life goes on without you.

The email had the wrong date, but we didn't realize the mistake until I'd been logged in and waiting for players for some time. Since my schedule for next week is already full, postponing wasn't possible, and we just had to go forward with...

Hm, the first paragraph of text I wrote for the article doesn't seem to be in there. It went like this: "Scheduled for update 66: When you kill the boss NPC of a Construct, Dungeon, or Quest, who doesn't already exist as a Halloween mask,...
