Weekly Machine Meeting

In keeping with the Improving communications idea that Systematica is trying to install, I'm calling a Monthly Machine Meeting in the Machine construct to openly discuss all issues that have taken place over the course of the month in The Matrix, perhaps we can even make it a weekly thing after a while. The first one will take place on the last day of the month, which is Monday the 30th of April.

Everyone is welcome, including all three of our Liaison Officers, We're doing this to improve communication so all machinsts are welcome, but don't come to cause trouble and by all means, please contribute.

Thank you.

I know it probably wasn't your intention but if you're the one to call the meeting, you are automatically exalted to he who runs it.  You'll need an agenda if you take up the mantle, otherwise people will begin running around and spamming area chat, like bored five year olds in the wake of a worldwide Ritalin shortage. 

I will be there if its not too late for the UK.

Perhaps every once and a while a little Cypherite or two could drop by? Of course when it's relevant for us to come.

Depends on the context I guess...

In terms of time, I'm thinking 11pm GMT, and the first meeting being on Monday night.

Maybe Ill figure out how Bayamos and W4r got into the Merv hallways and knock on your doors as well?

First, we had to find the Oracle... Once she was found, we asked her how to track down dirty Mervs. She was all 'oh my,' but she told us we'd have to find the Keymaker. So we did, and he let us into the White Halls. Once we were there, we deleted his happy behind and proceeded to stand up to you guys. Problem is we forgot to leave the door open for the other Machine operatives. So we pulled on the door knob for a while, but nothing. Bay and I looked at each other, shrugged, and proceeded to make threats...

You know the rest.

I'll be recalling everyone in anyways so just send me a tell.

Yasamuu.

LOL

No I won't be dictating at these meetings, all are free to talk :p

Oh dear god no!

Wait, you're CYPH...Hah! i have a way round this! GG

Psh.

One way to look at Cypherite is a Machinist who was willing to let the security of being an operative of the system go, so that he could more benefit that very system.

Hmmm, sounds familiar... 

Night says: How I chose to play a Cypherite: A Machinist who was willing to go as far as it took, even if it ment casting aside the protection of the very system that he works to protect etc

CYPH's can come anyways, aslong as that's ok with the Liaisons who said we should improve communication with them so yeah, I suppose we'll see :p

Sokuda was simply attempting to unite the machine organization, in the wake of the recent division in ideals, tactics and even loyalties.  I applaud him, not admonish him for taking a stand and proclaiming that we needed to hold a meeting to discuss where we're going and what we can do to become stronger. 

The problems with those meetings amounted to the flimsy agenda, and the people in attendance.  Some machines came to the meeting for 'something to do' but had no interest in listening to Sokuda's points, which as per the thin agenda, weren't covered in enough detail.  Everyone was so focused on spitting "Ugh who made you leader, Sokuda?" that nothing was accomplished and the meetings eventually dwindled.  If I have a point to make at this meeting, then I will think nothing of standing in front of you all and requesting that everyone shuts up long enough to hear it, and if that makes me a 'wannabe leader', then so be it.  I would think that we had enough respect for each other to put aside the accusations of power upheavals, and do everything we can to help the machine cause, instead. 

This will be a meeting to discuss machine communication, and other matters.  You can be as IC or OOC as you wish, but if you know you won't be able to sit still long enough without spamming area chat with nonsense, or causing an undue fuss, then don't attend.  Does this make me a 'wannabe leader' again for requesting that?  I really do not care, /losesleep.  No one's going to tell you what to do or how you should act in this meeting, Yas called it for discussion. 

As for the Cypherite's, I personally don't consider them to be machines.  The fact is, however, they'll never have their own org, so they presently operate under the machine banner.  This makes them as welcome as anyone else, if not by ethics then certainly by design.    

I'll be there if I can, and I'd be willing to discuss things appropriately. That's because I respect Yas, and I'd be willing to listen to him. He doesn't do the holier-than-thou thing, and he's actually in a Faction that could call itself the main force of the Machines. He also doesn't take things too seriously, and won't attempt to suck the fun out of the game. That's what this is. A game. And I felt Sokuda was trying to control things, and in turn was sucking the fun out of it. And sure I could have just not gone, but being I spend most of my game time as a Machine, I'd be pretty stupid if I didn't listen out for anything the other Machines might do. Worst case scenario is I come to PvP the next day, and find out we have another *CENSORED* truce with the Mervs. 

Cypherites are always welcome.








On Vector.

Sokuda only wanted to have fun, but also to work together with the other Machines.

When Sokuda re-subbed to play with the members of Likwid, they were all already Mervs working for Dark Evolutions with the exception of a few who have since quite again with Likwid Hyuzu's faction leader. The lack of cohesion among Machine players has dwindled our population. I'm hoping that the discussion being called will be met with strong effort from all of those who are left to strengthen our communication and teamwork in the battlefield.

I have a good feeling about those who we still have, but in the end it may just end up being us losing every event from this point on due to the overwhelming numbers of either the Merovingian or Zion -- depending upon who we're supposed to be fighting on any given day.

I think the meeting went pretty well and i believe the other ORG's should take note, it is important for Orgs to help each other out when there is an event etc..

...last night I came on and everybody was being peaceful at Mara, with me being the only one ruining it.

This is happening a lot recently.  If you're one of those who are standing around at Mara C and I kill/attack you, please refrain from directing me to consume a 'chill pill'  You're in Mara, and more pertinently on Vector.  If I'm in the mood then I'll take a break along with everyone else.  If I'm not, then I won't. 

Gotta love autonomy.

Exactly. I was getting insulted and all sorts :O

I can't really say I was upset though. It drives me to kill more
