Flood... has a son?!

Just been poking around Wikipedia's Matrix-related pages and entries and naturally this one caught my attention, since anyone who knows me knows I'm one of the few Flood-fangurlz of Recursion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ix_series#Flood

But it was the last paragraph that really caused my eyebrows to rise:

Following in his foot steps is his Son, Marchello, who he saw great potential. Marchello is quite like his adopted farther; saracstic and self important, but also has plans of his own. He acts as the Opperatives voice as their confidence is shaken by Flood's constant insinuations.

Has anyone seen evidence of this guy yet? Don't let Sieges know about this, or she'll have someone else to start crushing on...

People should know better than to RP like a god especially when there is an official source that can shoot you down within a moment's notice.  Case in point, everyone who RPed reinsertion had to eat all their work because one sentence made everyone rethink something that had presumed to be true.

Keep your RP humble and you won't have people laughing at you.  For instance: breaking out of Blackwood, being the reincarnation of Neo or a thousand year old lesbian vampire. 

Keep it simple.

Do we really know what's true in the Matrix universe? :: Winks::

I can go with someone breaking out of Blackwood or being 600 year old vampire: part of the backstory on the Blackwoods gang is that they broke out of Blackwood, so who knows what other Exiles could have escaped with them. And since we've got three versions of the Matrix (the Paradise Matrix, the Hell Matrix and the Modern US City in the late 1990s Matrix), the of which has gone through six iterations in the cycle of the One, that accounts for about maybe plus/minus 600 to 800 years, so there could be Exilic programs that old. But I'd draw the line at claiming to be the offspring/reincarnation of/romantically involved with a canon character.

Back to my original question: Aw, shucks. I guess a certain starry-eyed little gal on Recursion isn't going to get lucky.

Either way, we know reinsertion wouldn't be allowed.  You'd be gunned down.

Baby girl, I will FIGHT you for Flood. <3

Exactly why we should keep things simple. 

I've just always been under the impression that the leaders of Blackwood were merely lying in order to recruit naive exiles to join them.

I will admit that some people have very convincing RP, but at some point the restrictions of the game come into play that break the illusion.  However I pretend it, reality always pops its evil little head in from time to time. 

In the end, though, I do applaud player creativity and encourage it.

Not anymore.

Someone should add the "Blue Dreamer" or whatever. (Cryptos ship if you were wondering btw) only seems fair sence Neo's Hope is on there.

I believe in the closest canonical reference, it's 2199 by the time of the first movie.

When Morpheus said 'it's closer to 2199', he did so in the assumption that there had only been one Zion. It's definitely much later than that.

I can't remember if there are any dates specified for the start of the War (operation Dark Strom etc), but if we guess it to be around 2050 and allow, say, 50 years for the Matrix to go through its first two incarnations, then one iteration of the Cycle is 99 years long. So it's actually 2050+50+(6*99) = about 2700.

Even if those assumed figures are wrong, the real date will be 2199+(5*[length of Cycle iteration]).

Technically it just says "99", so who knows what the first 2 digits are.  Dam them for not being Y2k compliant!!
