I always enjoy working with bright young people, and I'm lucky enough that at least some of them seem to enjoy working with me. Now, they'll naturally want to recharge their batteries by relaxing with other people their age once in a while, and I'm just glad to see that you kids are still able to get out and have a little fun, even in the midst of all this craziness. Wouldn't want to forget what we're fighting for, after all.

I stand by my original reaction:

Well, smith doesn't like......

*darminian cocks his head curiously, could this be a relevant live event subject matter affair?*

Dancing!

 *.....*

Did that just *CENSORED* happen?

Did that just actually happen?

Follow that up with a few more profanities and some /suckitdowns on the pace knock-off charachter model. And i logged off to play WoW.

Like i said, makes blue sky look like end of beta, and no that's not a complement.

Recursionites have always been good at throwning down.  Good to see Rare show up for these big events!  (Let's hope he shows up again on Vector next month for a certain 3rd Annual Club Hel Party!! SMILEY )

in some strange way, even though the virologist is there to simply "hand out cookies and tshirts" as a device in an event, actually having her say it is somehow oddly fourth wall breaking.

other than that, it seems devs turning up to player events and putting in a short cameo appearance is happening more and more lately - on the basis that they're not actually obliged to do anything of the sort, i think it adds a nice touch.

looks like this game has two very specific plot threads running nowadays - the "main" storyline, with its main storyline stuff, and additional storyline related subplots that tend to wander a little closer to vaguely surreal, or "mini events" such as the Level 100 Smiths followed by smithling spawns in a particular area. i quite like the atmosphere these odd little subversive moments provide.

Especially the non-sequitors with the local Neighborhood Contacts.  I really like those.

A nice event - I'd have liked to know more about the Virologist, where she came from, how the Oracle contacted them all etc. - but I'm just like that I guess. Still, it was quite a nice way to turn an OOC party into a "keep the spirits up" wartime effort and it worked quite well. I presume what happened at the end was that Ms Virologist, transformed the redpills there into her likeness and sent them off to help out against Smith.

an explanation of that inside one of the screenies would have been good, i think. i thought it was a bunch of LESIG playing the virologists or something, i had no idea they were regular players.

Well, I can't say I expected this to get a Live Events post but it was cool.  I got in a couple of good screens too.

I left before the end though, it was like, 3:30am.

OMG! Thank you sooooooooo much for the Smith virologist suit!!! I had a wonderful time running around helping to fight the Smith virus!! SMILEY I took sooo many pictures =)

I can't thank you enough!! SMILEY

Thank you to everyone who participated and showed up.  This was a fun event.  Unfortunately Sattakan couldn't make it, but my sister Cammara was there.  She told me all about it.  Despite a few hickups from an un-named faction things ran smoothly.  Sultrybytes and Stanislava did an excellent job representing "The Collective" and putting this thing together.

It has been a year since our last "Sexy Redpill" contest and at those we had Persephone and Merovingian show up unexpectedly.  This time we had the Smith Virologist.  I implore all of you to get involved in Player run events.  You just never know who might show up and you miss out. 

In a few weeks we are having our Coder/Teal Pill party swap again.  If you were in the Sexy Redpill contest and lost badly then maybe it is time you change up your look.  This is the perfect party to come to and look for new skin, clothes, and hair.  This is also a great way to meet the newest members of MegaCity and help them out and show off your faction.

Details to come!

Was a great and very well organised event, with a great ending too, when the Virologist showing up.

I've newer felt that sexy before SMILEY

I'm glad so many had a nice time there. It was great to see so many members of the community hanging out and enjoying something! 



What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

Looked pretty fun...wish there was something more to it, but hey, its a party, don't wanna mess with it too much.
#36300210683 04/10/2007 23:51:49 Re:[7.1.5] "Stand near a monument and hand out cookies and shirts" - Recursion - 4/6/07
Unless I'm totally off my guess, the Dev team is putting story.chapter.mission info because there isn't another/better way to "timestamp" when these events occur within timeline.

- Are these 'walks on the wild side' 'official?'  Generally not, but they're fun and had to have occured SOMETIME.
- Does this promote a living, 'organic' world where people you interact with as mission contacts can turn around and come find YOU?  Sure thing.  In fact its altogether cooler that way.

SO Glad I'm starting mains on the other Servers.
