War on the Machines is genocide you say? What about six previous times the Machines slaughtered nearly every man, woman, and child in Zion? Was not that genocide? Now I'm not advocating more of the same. In fact, I would say we should show...
"We know what we have to do: Shut the Machines down." I won't claim to know The Kid's intention in making this statement, but I think many of you may be taking this too literally. "Shutting the Machines down" doesn't have to mean murder, i...

Here's the point people seem to be missing... The "defensive weapons" that New Zion armed with are just that, defensive. And they can only be used definsively. All the APUs and EMPS can ONLY be used if the Machines INVADE ZION. So the only...

Listen, I'm not saying your wrong. All I'm saying is that you have a conviction that is not necissarily going to work with all the problems humanity faces. If it always serves you well, more power to you, but what Cryptos is arguing is the...
What I'm saying is that for a child who is absolutely terrified of a monster in her closet, that monster is very real, and I dare you to try to convince her otherwise. As she grows older, and has more experience to draw from, she may reali...
So how do I get some of those posters? Joshua seems to have the right idea, and so does Kid. It's not any one person, alive or dead, that matters in the end, but the dream of moving forward, into freedom and awakening. If New Morpheus revi...

All this stuff sounds great, but... When is the next Live Event going to be? Are they all going to be several months in between now? There was certainly a huge gap of time between the Death of the Destroyer and A Peice of Blue Sky.
These are excerpts from a discussion from a while ago on another forum. I thought it might be interesting to post it here, especially considering that MxO is (hopefully, at least) sort of in the middle of being completely rebuilt as a vide...
