Why were there no age requirements for LESIG?

'Cause I don't care how old someone is as long as they're good.

So you don't worry that a 16 year old kid is going to be any more susceptible to leaking LESIG info to his buddies? I'm sure he can roleplay, but there is a generally a good reason why society doesn't put children in positions of responsibility.

Unless you meet face to face, how would you know, the name on the account means very little. Additionally experience on Vector has highlighted some exceptionally immature behaviour form people who claim to be 30+. Besides presumably if problems occur the link to LESIG is cut... cause and effect.

There are other ways of proving one's age. Most employers run background checks or require a valid form of identification such as a driver's license or may even request to see a copy of your birth certificate. My point being, there are many positions to be filled in LESIG and statistically speaking at least one person is going to abuse their position and/or fail in their duties. I was just indirectly pointing out that the lack of age requirement is only further increasing the probability for incompetent, irresponsible, immature people to make it into LESIG.

The A Monument being a link to the white halls huh? I thought Rare specifically didnt make it one cause Paul maybe had future plans for it.

But why did he allow the LET to use them in this way? I mean, I suppose Invalesco just disappeared in a yellow light ball up there, but it was supposed to mean that he escaped through the door I guess.

Anyway, never got the hype around that monument door: I thought every door in the Matrix could lead to the hallways?
#36300160493 02/07/2007 10:01:20 Re:Ask the Devs an MXO question v.3
I think he means that that door, according to Rarebit, will eventually have a specific purpose in the game (if Rare and Paul have their way) and not be a white hallway door.

Anyway, it's obviously photoshopped. Have you ever been able to see the white hallways from a doorway outside of the white hallways? No. Plus the blur around the parts of the model are tall-tale signs of a 'shopping.
#36300160494 02/07/2007 10:02:44 Ask the Devs an MXO question v.3
Good point. I never aaaactually thought about invalesco using it in that way.

Spose we'll have to wait and see what the future holds for it.

The door itself does not open in-game, so it's some kind of voodoo, at any rate. I wasn't involved at all in making the image, so I really couldn't say.

Eh... Some kind of meeting about what NoRepro likes to call "Itemization." Hopefully I can ditch out on that relatively quickly, since I'm not going to be the one implementing anything based on it as far as I know. :p

And then the usual... I'm working on chapter 7.1 stuff. I have a few character RSIs to modify today, then I have to work up an outline for the 7.1 missions and events, and start working on the missions.

I don't really give official approval on player RP, even liaisons. We have liaisons who say they're Exiles or whatever, but you won't find story characters going out of their way to acknowledge that in live events, etc. I know we've had story characters post liaison intros in the past, but that was really just passing on what the liaisons had to say for themselves.

For future quotage, if it's deemed worthy  lol

Since the liaisons themselves can post now, should we be expecting the liaisons to formally introduce themselves, perhaps even in the LE section?  I quite enjoyed the liaison postings by proxy in the past and I'd like to see more of that, especially now that it won't require the extra step of going through an LE characters post.

Since it's apparently not that hard to add a tracker to the forum, are you ever going to bring back the LE Character Tracker.  It was a nice feature so I didn't have to sort through the LE forums to find the most recent one when the tracker was listed in order.
