Operatives,
We continue to assert our control over the General's network. His sphere of command shrinks daily. This latest...demonstration appears to have made an impression upon him that may prove to be of use to us. We thank you for your continued efforts against his programs.
Efficiently,
Agent Gray

Wow, the General sure has some nerve. Words of a man who knows his end is near?
My favorite:
Best dialouge ever in this event lol
That's not the best...The best is if the oracle pulls off some crazy *poop* and that kill code he speaks of does jack diddly to her.My favorite:

It was an honor to have had a hand in humiliating the General.
You can read the original version of the speech I wrote for this here.
((Brilliant event! Thanks Rarebit, Vogt, Simlo, Destinatus, and anyone else involved in the planning of this.))
I liked the "Use Public Transportatio" Line, Wouldn't the Bluepills get suspicious if they saw a guy in Black Spandex sitting in the subway?
Yes, that was the point.

Nicely done, Machinists.
(Hey! Send some events down to Recursion would ya?)
You are my hero. That was beautiful. XDIt was an honor to have had a hand in humiliating the General.

(("Similarly, I encourage members of E Pluribus Neo to continue in their efforts to ignore me, to follow the messages of my Morpheus Simulation. By which, I mean Morpheus.

And people thought I was wrong about the Morpheus Sim... As I've said before "Never trust a nameless profit."
That is one cool screenie
Action shot with me and my shotgun!
Yeah, it was a fun event. The General in spandex is disturbing...
(( I think whats more interesting is that that section was chosen to be ommited... was it btw? In the event itself i mean, or was it just not screenshotted? ))
"To my newest ally, The Merovingian, I would like to thank you for providing me with transit into and out of the Matrix, while my own infrastructure crumbled at the hands of the Machines. Such devotion is a testament to your ability to pick stable allies, like the Insect Man, the Paranoid Hobo, the Lupine and Vampire that attempted to overthrow you, and the Radioactive Redpill obsessed with your wife."
The others he refered to are known, but the "Radioactive Redpill obsessed with your wife" is not known. So who is it?

Sadly, I was unable to attend this operation, but it certainly seemed to go well enough *chuckles* Excellent work, those Watchmen and other Machinists who were able to take part. Special mention is needed, of course, for Captain StarSchwar for his excellent speech that put all of the other entries to shame. (( mine included lol /manhug It was even better hearing it coming from the General himself than I thought it would be 
))
And not only was it successful, it was priceless.
Excellent work, operatives.
His holographic projections are not what he uses to direct his commandos' operations; they are solely a means of communicating remotely with the organizations opposing him. In and of itself, being able to redirect and misuse his hologram has little strategic value other than providing yet another stepping stone to hack his networks.Really? Keep up with the times, its what he's using to communicate with his troops and the mervs also, unless you didnt happen to notice that Hologram that was repeating its last message to his men prior to our breaking in of their hideout?
But please, since you seem to know tactics better than Agent Gray, let's hear what you would have done.
what's more effective, a cliched "the machines will crush you" speech or making the general look like a boob in front of everyone including his own troops by forcing him to come out with pointedly satrical and vaguely absurd nonsense?Neither, see above.

, however now your bringing game mechanics into what was quite an IC responce, so I dont consider that a valid arguement.][[Meh, never claimed to be a great spellerfair enough, however i never post "in character", i simply post and play the game as myself - i would hope this doesn't invalidate all of my points here, especially as a lot of the time its hard to tell if someone is posting "in character" or not. with that being the case, i'm not going to refrain from offering my thoughts on something merely because i couldn't tell if the person i was replying to happened to be playing a character at the time. also, the current game mechanics and limited dev resources are likely the most direct reason for why they couldn't roll with your idea in the first place so i'd have to disagree with it being invalid in any case, in character or not
Look like a fantastic event
But the General did not need to thank Capt. Niobe for the training of his commandos, he will payback all that he own's us cent by cent.

Wow I'm actually agreeing with NightTrace on something. Really what was the point of this? Making the General look like a fool to the people that already consider him one? Guess will just see outcome but I think Gray's lacking in the efficiency area these days.

Exactly. We're removing the General's infrastructure. We took out his access points, we have the choppers, we're cutting off inter-commando communication, and now his holo-communications are no longer secure. I suppose we could have just muted the message, but this also served as a morale boost.you got the choppers? when was this? does this mean they're not flying round the city anymore?

((the first mission for this new set.))
Well if you want to continue parading your accomplishments to the enemy and allow them to realize what you have and have not taken control of yet be my guess. It just seems to me to make more sense to use these advantages you're gaining as such and not to eliminate them from the game at all.
