Barnsley's Log:

(( Whoo... wonderful, exciting installment...))

. . . . . . .

:: Trying to sound like the little girl in "Poltergeist" :: "It's heeere!"

Merrill, Sieges's brother: "Praytell me, sister-mine... what is here?"

Sieges: "Nothing."

Merrill: "What word games are you playing?" :: Bemused::

Sieges: "You'll find out... but I hope you don't..."

*speaking in the voice of Agent White*

Apprehend us...if such feats are...within your programming...

Nice screenshots, amazingly effortless-looking layouts. I love the Nothing character(s), and Barnsley's captions are golden.

The solid and outwardly twisted and delicious coolness that is the concept of nothing and all the little nothings about it, brought to you by the people of Algorithm Black - not that i'm trying to make a point or anything.

Really solid looking work Barns, alot of effort is going into this and im glad to see it's getting a decent reception and audience.

((Loving the comic, and yeah... there's plenty of N07H1N9 to go around. Especially in MxO.))

(( :: Applauds :: Very well done! Nicely edited and nicely played. ))

((My absolute favorite part was when Barnsley said, "What are you talking about?  I'm an exile.  Grr!"

Well done, Barnsley.  I had a blast.))

((This is extremely entertaining, one reason I love this game so much, thank you for bringing us along for the ride! Mad props!!))

((It is truly too bad you had to slip on that loose tile, Barnsley. I'm sure you would have performed excellently.))

I truly enjoyed slapping you silly Barnsley....

((awesome job!! Keep it up!))

Morraeon: Yah know, after meetin' this guy in the code, I decided I ain't gonna eat him: he's too *FUNNY*!

((Hilarious!

"Don't these Merovingian Operatives have anything better to do than spend all day lounging around in some dank, vomit soaked building?"

Classic, as was the rest.))

(( :: Applauds:: That was tricky getting in the speech balloons for everyone at once, including that one Sneak-ing character. There's a kind of pathos in the ending, too... :: Pats Barnsley:: ))

(I do believe, Barnsley, that a close-up of those shoes is in order. I can't see them very clearly.)

(( They're plain ol' Lucien Dress Shoes, which have a duller texture than the shoes the Agents wear, and they're not as dark a shade of black. I guess they're kind of a dark grey. The Black Winter Dress Shoes are closer; not sure if the Agent shoes are availible to operartives yet... :: Looks significantly in Rarebit's direction:: ))

(Well, I was hoping they had a uniform that was closer... I just couldn't tell what the shoes were. I have a character designed similarly to Barnsley, though I haven't put him into official use just yet. Still grinding him up to an effective level. God, I hate grinding... it's the most draining aspect of any game, especially one like MxO, where the grind goes from supremely easy in the first 13 or so levels to a grueling mass of torture that leaves you pale and bloodshot. But, yes... more items, especially Agent-style uniforms, would be great.)

(( The grind in EvE Online makes the grind in any other MMO look easy. Missions give you only tenths of a point of reputation, unless you've got the right Social skill books loaded and trained up, and it can take a while for *those* to train up, unless you've got the right Learning skill books loaded and trained up... And let's not start about the high cost of good ships and good equipment. Took me the better part of six months to get my good mining Hulk, but I hear unless you've got the right strategy, it can take years to get one of the Capital class battleships...))

(( Aww, that's kinda kyoot, actually... though the ending has a touch of foreboding to it... And shucks, there goes the little present Sieges went out of her way to get. Ah well, this is so well-done, I'm certainly not objecting!))

(great new chapter Barnsley, although I'm finding it hard to belive you ran around in those black boyshorts for YEARS without ever getting a pair of pants or something....

thank god the devs make those part of the body build....i cant even imagine this story if those wouldnt of been coded on you when you re-entered through the ascention monument)

(( :: Applauds:: Exciting and touching at the same time. I think this is the best chapter yet!))

The panel that starts out "The one in the shiny suit who stole my underwear..." is possibly the best thing ever.

This thread is the best thing ever. Motion to have this made into an official tie-in graphic novel!

((If I havent said already, splendid work on this storyline, very fun to engage in and whoever is behind the Barnsley, you have by uptmost respect.))

(( I don't think it is, and I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary. Tranque's been having massive problems maintaining his connection, and Barnsley hasn't, all the time that the both of them were on lately.))
