you cheating b!tch
<3 exivy. When I was Machine, it was seriously appreciated how you stepped up to the plate to entertain us, while our liaisons were MIA. I think that started the friendship between Fen and Ivy, which was very odd to begin with. 
Well, there are many things I want to say, however when it comes to finding how I wish I could say them, nothing seems right. So, I'll just say that I'm more than thankful for the opportunity to work with some amazing people in LESIG, and while we couldn't get everything done we wanted it was a great experience and one I've learned much from. Also to the Merovingians on Vector that openly accepted me, you always made it easy to want to log in, and try something new with the events we could. I'll miss everything and everyone here, but hopefully we'll cross paths again in the future.

Thanks Phrack for posting that from NT.

I also feel a need to say a few things about lesig. It was great that this group existed and was able to enhance the experience for so many others. However, as I am now learning who the other members are it explains a lot. I always wondered what happened to Abra/Devistate.
You know, the toughest thing about it all was not being able to spend more time on my mains but I always said that if I got in I was either all in or not at all. It was really tough not telling you guys but I think we all agree it was probably a better approach to not say anything. Lessens any kind of conflicts of interest and all. The hardest thing was seeing people basically disappear one or two at a time, not only from the faction but from the game in general and not feeling right about keeping secrets. I made good friends not only with you guys, people like Lucadello, Staticzero and Nem and never did say anything until earlier in this thread. Hell Harpalos and I were in Novus Imperium together and I always knew something was taking a lot of his time but never put it together lmao.
But while I'm back here, IV, Rej and Kerevola...wow when the four of us were together those were some great times. I always liked the reaction our events got as they were almost always good and to me they were always fun. I had a blast hanging out with you guys and doubt I could have asked to be teamed with any better. You guys were all truly awesome and I enjoyed every minute of it!
As for Rarebit, well I didn't include him originally because I thanked him in a PM before he left and wasn't expecting a response because I knew he was busy lining things up for his departure but he did take te time to reply and I was flattered by his response. Doesn't really matter what anyone says about him to me, he did what he could with what he had and was trying to learn other stuff on the fly. That's something I'll always appreciate.
Anyway, those who are in LESIG still or were recently, you know my gmail info for Stanten and please feel free to drop me a line there. I do still check in on it a few times a week. I also threw my main XFire details out a couple of pages back, like on 11 or 12 I think, so feel free to add me there if you want.
edit- Oh and NightTrace, heh. Made for some pretty interesting conversations brother but I always enjoyed them. Definitely had fun with it and it was a pleasure to get to know you. Still surprised you eventually came over to the Cyph side though heheheh.
Please don't link to that video. That video was one of the biggest stress factors for us in the original group and the other members may not wish to be outted like that. :s

If you don't know by now, I played the Cypherite Liaison, exivy.
One day I got an email in-game from recursion.rarebit and I was like, ???? It said "You've got a certain "CONFIDENTIAL" forum PM from me. If you could read that and get back to me via PM, that would be great. And don't mention this to anyone else--you'll see why once you've read it. =P"
I checked it and couldn't believe what I was reading.
I was part of the new 2.0 but arrived about a week after everyone else. I really wanted an EPN position because I knew I could play that role well, but they were all taken. I only told Sputteh that I was in LESIG, because we live together. She ended up in LESIG also, so it all worked out anyway!
I decided to be a Recursion Cypherite! the complete opposite of what I knew! Viraconrida was still in the crew and gave me a few tips before she vanished and the other Recursion Cyph never made an appearance. So, I had all the Cypherites to myself! woot! Eventually, I was the only active liaison for the cyph's and machines on recursion so I tried to involve the machines in as much as I could so they could feel loved too. Kerevola helped me out a lot, though, and I appreciate her very much.
So, I got to enjoy NightTrace's thoughts on many many issues
and I tried to keep everyone from being bored at Camon Central. NT and I actually got along very well. He had a point of view many didn't understand but I could see it.
I ended up getting some partners in crime - Rejex and Stanten, and they were great. They passed me up in leveling and both hit 50 before me! I think we are the only org on all 3 servers to have all 3 liaisons at 50, plus Kerevola was 50 too. Stanten turned into the leader of our crew. He had great ideas and the time and energy to put into his character, even farmed Rejex and I patcher's bandana. He was like XIV's big brother.
I had decided to give exivy a french background and brushed up on some of the language and had a good chat with an actual frenchy while we were running missions. I think goligoth might remember that lol. She was friendly to most but liked to slap faces too. Fenshy (fenshire) and I had a weird relationship that started when he invited me to his bachelor party, which was all zion, and I got naidian to come and she was all stiff agent and I was being crazy, having fun. Ever since then, fenshy always asks me to rejoin zion
I have many fond memories with XIV and I had a lot of fun helping you all have fun. I hope that I did a decent job, I wish that I had had more time back then to develop her character more and come up with some good side stories. Hindsight is always 20/20. I wish it could last much longer, as we had more ideas and more fun times planned. But, in the words of Trucidos, "It is what it is."
Thank you for everything. Its been a great ride and I doubt I will ever have the chance to do something like this again in a game. It was a truly unique experience in which I am greatful.
~ XIV ~
Thank you, Hydra.
I really had no idea, none whatsoever, how many people appreciated Ket until after I killed her off. I never thought of her as a combatant, and I always assumed that's what people wanted. I figured people put up with her "talkiness" just to be nice and supportive of the LESIG program. She was imagined as a thinker. Someone to stir the intellectual pot. But after nearly two years on a hostile server, I had it in my head that Vector was all about "teh hardc0re pvp'z", so I often felt guilty that Ket rarely engaged in battle. Fighting really isn't my thing, and I didn't want to have to force it with Ket.
Anyway. A surprising number of people have thanked me over the years for Keterina, and I don't think I've ever returned the favor for their support. So, if they're reading this, thank you all. For all its troubles, faults, and leaks, you guys made LESIG truly worth it.

Vogt! I have been wondering who you were.
I wish I could have been around when Vogt made his last appearance in the Matrix. You gave a lot to the MxO community (Syntax's Machinist players especially), it is hard to put proper thanks into words. Amidst all the various drama, both IC and OOC, it can be hard to get a sincere message across and know that it was received.
I always wanted to give Vogt a /hug for everything you've done here, but it never seemed quite appropriate IC. Just know your efforts were always appreciated, even by some of us quieter folks.

Thanks Mith for the kind words :)
I secretely knew you back from the Linenoise days where Tetragrammaton was very active on the RP scene and even in my player events there, so it was a pleasure to work with you this time under a different shape!
I never played on Linenoise. Although, it does seem like I have had the Tetra tag forever. I started playing (not counting a week at the end of beta) on Syntax in February of 2006, and joined Tetra on... *checks notes* ... the 16th, and have been there since.
Anyway, it's been fun. And it's nice to have a chance to speak OOC! I'm sad to see things end, but I'm glad to at least get a chance to say things I have been wanting to for ages.

Hehe Yeah, for some reason Vogt never seemed overly receptive to hugs.. which made it even more entertaining to throw them in there once in a while.

I very much enjoyed working with Vogt on occasion, as did I Fuscienne back when XElite was still rolling as an independent crew.
It is ironic, because one of the things which I said more than once to for example Zane and Cail was that I missed having Harp around, well more - so that he decided to not participate in Role Play as often as he head just a little before my time; while he had infact been one of the most innovative and original Liaisons, the entire time.
The "Machinist of the Year" and "Hovercraft Battles" are often cited as a benchmark of the level of co-ordinated activity and player interaction which might be strived towards and I would certainly count myself among those who would also advocate each as such.
It is re-asuring to see that while Fuscienne and Vogt may have retired from their official positions of Liaison within LESIG, they were still active, lending a hand within, even when they were without, the Simulation.

Thinking about the old days, who was our first Mero liason on Vector, Entropi? Good times farming PB3 boxes in SVC with her.
I can't believe you'd forget Entropi, Vill. She was pretty much the only Vector Merv LO for almost 2 years. Baelroth did 2 LEs with her, but I think other than that she was the only LO.
LET was great about farming her to 50. You guys took it so seriously. It wouldnt have been an issue if the Furious Angels and Cyphs weren't so hellbent on chasing her across Downtown all the time. We had such great PvP battles though. We'd be running missions downtown and FA would ambush us at the hardline and then we'd call in reinforcements and they'd call in reinforcements and we'd have a huge battle in some random part of the city and we'd inevitable be outnumbered by Zion and I'd go running across the city toying with them. I remember I got so good at evading those 50s when she was level 25. Go up one elevator, run to the other elevator, go down to floor 16, stealth, wait 15 seconds, go back to lobby and walk out the front door.
Then start talking to them while stealthed next to them and start the whole chase over again.
Golly, those were the days.
All the mervs were super great and we ran so many missions and PvP-killathons.
That is why i love vector.

Whilst we're sharing screenshots; this is what I was referring to about Rarebit being preoccupied during one of our events. Along with me getting a little overexcited about the serendipity in Area Chat.
And this is the shot I affectionately refer to, and holds pride of place as my MSN background for Garutachi, as the double take.

Fixed.
It's really been liberating to come out and show ourselves, even for those who knew who we were anyway. I want to say also to those people, I truly thank you for still playing along and keeping the knowledge of our identities to yourself.
It's great now to be able to explain the things that we could never have really before.
I have my honest excuse now to you Syntax EPN, remember when the unofficial EPN Relay website was shutdown, and Novalux and I promised to make a new official one? And all you got were lame vague excuses about how we were working on it and it wasn't ready yet? Well, I had it all ready, I had the layout and the theme all picked out and even created a nice header (I think it's nice at least :P) and had all the database files to have the official message boards hosted (yes we could have gone with just a free message board online, but I was wanting more the control and safety of us (Lesig) having it all on our end). The final issue was then that I couldn't get a hold of our ex-member olink, who had control of the 01mainframe website, to help me upload it. I had been able to get in touch with him originally, and he gave me ftp access to the domain, but then I was having trouble with something and couldn't reach him to help straighten it out. :/ So I'm sorry you guys. It was something I was really excited about, but never got to make it happen.
I have only a few vague images that I had to show how it looked when I was creating it. Emphasis on the very vague and not showing much at all. :( I wish I had taken more pictures.

Aww, I wish I had known about that. I had a lot of experience with setting stuff up on 01mainframe and I also had a pretty stable line of communication with Olink.

How is this any different then before? :p
If MxO was started back up, I think any new developer would be much more sensible than Rarebit and never hire a group of players to be in charge of future classified and sensitive information ever again.
LESIG 1.0 was okay, but let's face it; LESIG 2.0 was an effing disaster, save a few gems.
One of my only regrets in game has been that I was not part of this.

I thought the second group was much improved, they knew more what they were getting into, while the first group had a lot of people who weren't up to the task, hence the need for the recruitment because so many had stepped down/disappeared from the first group. Also, since the second group had their Lesig forum handles in no way tied to their mains, the chance of having complete idenity leaks of the members were greatly reduced. However I did fade out not long after the new wave of Lesig, so I'm not really aware of what bad things might have happened with the new members to blame.
You're right though, the biggest issue of the group is having to find players who are professional and trustworthy enough to not mess things up. From the beginning of 2.0, there were several of the new members who had to be dropped as we found people who seemed to have joined just to leak information. (Why people, why D: )
One good thing about the 2.0 group is that it brought in a lot of diversity, Rare had made a point of recruiting people who could cater to different timezones. And we even had people of different native tongue, which was interesting!
what I felt the problem was with Lesig 2.0 is that they werent screened properly. Some, not all, took advantage of it and their friends benefited as well instead of being equal with all. In ways ruing the game for some people. I am not saying they didnt do a good job but there were areas that needed drastic improvements.

I can honestly say that I never once took advantage of being in the program, nor did any of my friends or factionmates benefit from me being in the program.

I remember somebody in LESIG 2.0 got booted on the second day of us being invited to the program. That was a bit of a shock to everyone. I think the old LESIG vets were a bit hesitant after to accept us, but I think we shook the stigma after a month or so, by and large.

I would say the same, but I never had enough time to split time between two people affectivley. So they would have had to offer it to me as Hanzyl early on Method/Recursion or with Gretyl on Vector and well that wouldn't be much of a secret. haha
I still enjoyed the RP though.

Well, at the time of LESIG 2.0, the LESIG vets had been a solid group for quite some time. The problems were weeded out of LESIG 1.0 fairly early and we had gotten very used to trusting each other by the time 2.0 rolled around. When new members were brought in and continued to be brought in, we had to go through the process of trusting someone over and over again.

Remember the big fight we all had when 2.0s found out that the 1.0 forums were still active and 2.0s didn't have access to them? Hah, that was a fun week...
