Regrets?

Hmm.. I guess the only regret I have is falling out with a few people over the years (some I've made up with, some I haven't) OH and my regret WOULD have been not having a 50 on each server but thanks to afew friends I accomplished that

Lies! All lies! ^_^

What lies? I was in the shadows with alts but I was around!  Everything else will come all in due time.

Yep, but I'm holding out on announcing it for the time being even though it should be known. So all in due time, eh?

I would have liked an FM1500.

You bet they are. I was starting it a while back but then it kind of died before it had enough steam to kick off. Oh well, I still have some of the Invader characters around somewhere lol. 001 is still over lingering on Vector.

Scratch that regret as I've thrown a new sig up as a tribute to the old Fight Club. I'm good now.

I regret:

Not giving my faction Vengeance Rising enough attention, and letting it fall apart. We had such great potential, and some pretty darn dedicated people , I was just too busy PvPing to do for me what my mentor Windstriker-DeathStalkers  did for me.

Falling out with people over stupid S@#& over the years.

Not roleplaying more the past couple years.

Not Cyberin' down more with Asagi.

jk

And last, having Neo in my main handle. I had Fallout2012 when I first woke up, then after looking at this mohawked skinny freakish looking char, I decided to make a new one. I thought Neopill sounded cool because I wanted to have my character sybolize a "New Pill" a raw generation of redpill that strives to show respect for the One and what he accomplished. (i mean come on, who wouldnt want to be like Neo?)

It wasnt until after the message from Morpheus that pretty much propelled my character to superstardom, that i would start getting alot of flack from other players about having Neo in my name, which I totally understood in a way. I'd get pissed and stuff and ignore folks ya know. But from others, mostly Zion and machine, I received the utmost respect and was  greeted with open arms and more everywhere I went.

So I decided the best thing to do was stick my character out, and just deliver messages of hope to those who needed it. (pre sim). Ive enjoyed being Neopill, but yes, I do regret using Neo in the handle. But at least now some of you will understand why.

oh, one more thing. I regret that Sony doesnt feel the same way we all do about the Matrix Franschise. If this is the End, its a real Shty one!

I only have two regrets:

Not getting to ten thousand posts on these forums. =P Curse you, Rarebit, cupcake, Roukan...

Not finding out who exactly leaked A:B info that ultimately led to my getting tossed out from it.

I regret not integrating myself more/getting more involved, allowing myself to meet a lot more people, and all that business.

Oh, and not joining PvP teams on my home server so that my PEN1S could be in the top ten of length and girth.  The angry inch got me nowhere.

You have two months. Go for your life.

My only regrets are not joining this community sooner, and not being here when the game was at it's greatest.

Not if I get there first! xD

I propose a trip to the forum games section. Three word story, anyone?

Nah, we should stay at 8k and make a super exclusive club out of it. Everyones knows 8k is the new 10, gawd.

I regret nothing!

I have only one.

Back in Beta I held a MA tourney, were the top winner and runner up gets one of them fancy 30 day sub cards, the one giving these cards out however was to be annonamous or else he would not give them out. I held up my bargin, I never revealed him but when it came time to collect he did not send them. Those people who kept waiting and waiting never received anything except an appology from me.

The ones who were most effected were:

Esky, CrystalKn1ght, MemnochTheDevil, Dispater, lymmel, Venlar, Plugged/Trex9.

And the one who was suppose to provide the Game cards was Sundog, but he backed out for unknown reasons and leaving me the bag of which I could not possibly afford at the time.

This was my only regret.

After looking at my /play time on Recursion, I feel like I got a lot from this world of ours, and feel mostly gratitude.

In the game itself, I wish I had had more time for the ingame events, LESIG and otherwise.  But being a council member took up a lot of time.  But I learned so much from it that I cannot regret it very seriously. 

I was one of the first wave of LESIG, but clan life and homelife kept me from doing much, and I eventually asked Rarebit to withdraw me from it and give my place to someone with more time to commit.  I wish I had been able to do more.

That's enough candour for one evening.

I would like to know what was so taxing about being a council member? I remember being a council member for SC during the time period of about a year and found there to be issues that crop up, but none that were particularly time consuming.

I'd like to gain some kind of insight.

Well, I have to go back and think now.   Some of the things that kept me from more "game" involvement during my three years or so as a clan council member (CM):

-  Interviewing and discussing applications, because great people have always been the ultimate resource in this game.

-  Managing conflicts and competition with other guilds, and creating new ways to compete where others have been weak.

-  Working to encourage our people and also nurture new leadership talent.

-  Looking for people I wanted in our clan, and creating ways to encourage that notion in them.

-  Mediating discussion and discord within my clan, and trying to persuade others.

I'm not claiming I was always successful in this, Yasamuu, by any means.  But this is where my thoughts often were ingame, and it's how I approached my role as a council member.  And of course I'm only speaking for myself this evening, and would not claim to be representing my fellow CMs in describing my own approach, or saying this is how anyone else should approach it.  There are lots of examples of very different approaches having been very successful.

It was all time well spent. I had a great time, and made some great friends. It was more than a game for most if not all of us. This community produced some of the best creative work I've ever seen both literary and graphical. Faced with limited resources, many of us took it upon ourselves to create content and contribute. If anything, I regret not ever finishing some of the projects I started...

the website,

the new website,

the comics,

the game (w,a,s,d,f to play around a bit),

the access node,

and many many others. Apart from that, my only other regret is not having played more.

And you tottaly deserve one. There is without a doubt no one NO ONE more dedicated to the Machine organization then Lyr (other then myself *smirk*) and that said no one more deserving in my mind.

I wish I wasn't so sporatic with my subscription.  I know I only subscribe for a few months, then take a month or two off, and then come back etc. 

Theres only a couple of things i regret, i wish i played during release (didn't start playing till a year or 2 later), started playing on the Jan but didn't hit 50 till the Dec, regret taking that summer out (not really was a blast of a summer he he.) I also regret grinding rep 3 diff times while lvln but i eventually settled on the one true org.

And in a way, i regret lvln up on a non hostile server. I could have spent that time doing more on vector.

PvP FTW, remember that <3

Cheers for the reply, I was just interest is all. ;D

Although I left somewhere right after chapter 7, due to a sudden drop in interest, and sudden increase of real life endeavors, and pretty much didn't care about MxO for the past year - now that it's shutting down (and I might have as much as 2 days left, unlike all the others... I hate you all lol), it's making me quite depressed.


Apart from my abandoning my efforts to completely experience and analyse the entire storyline, with all its ideas and PLOT HOLES, which I'll hardly be pursuing anymore (it's too shaky and incomplete for that), there are some things I'm kinda sad I'll probably never see anymore:


The Organization Constructs (esp. the Merv one, which I heard and saw was pretty cool), trying out more of the useroptions (especially the gigantic perspective increase once posted here), wall-kicks, and some more probably.

I always thought there would be some time in my life where I'd find some time and interest during my day to do some of that stuff, but apparently, that's over.

Oh well.

   Wait, isn't that last site Eventual's site? :O

Nothing.

I regret leaving MxO in early 2005 and then coming back a year later to find the faction I was in had dissapeared (It was a good faction )

...I regret watching so many good friends click the unsubscribe button, through the years, and me being left with no way to contact them.

Thanks imax.
