It won't end here.

We can make sure of that.

Whether you like me or not, whether you and I have had issues in the past or not, if you've known me at all, then you know the things I've done to try and entertain this community.  From the events I've held on Recursion as a member of Pluribus Neo, to the little bit of time I spent as Liaison Officer Zeissman, to Algorithm: Black, to the Turf Wars event series.

I love this place, as much as any of you do.

While I have no love lost for SOE, it honestly does hurt me to know that this place is going to disappear.

And since the announcement was dropped... I've been approached at least a hundred times over, being asked things like "Do you know of an emulator in development?" and "You have to have something up your sleeve... what is it?"

Truth be told, I've had nothing up my sleeve.  But I do have an idea...

If you remember the Algorithm: Black event, then you remember that there were a number of ARG-style elements incorporated into it that brought the feeling of The Matrix to your every day life.  From anonymous text messages on your cellular phone, to receiving clues in the mail.  So here is what I propose:

Project Slumber: An ongoing MxO-based Alternate Reality Game, set to begin after the conclusion of The Matrix Online.  It will pick up where the story of MxO leaves off, and it will build upon it, all in a real-life setting.  You will play the part of the character you've built here, and you're more than welcome to invite others who are unfamiliar with MxO to participate.

What is it exactly?

You'll have to experience it for yourself to find out.

Can you help out?

Sure, if you're interested.  I'll be accepting applications for various positions that I'll be detailing in another post, in this thread, very soon.

How do you participate?

Well, it's an opt-in process, for now.  In the future, I hope to build a website, with forums, and so on that will eventually act as a base of operations for the project.  I will, in the meantime, be running an IRC channel on the irc.mibbit.net IRC network, where you can hang out and converse with other members, until a full website is available.

Until then, to opt-in as a participant in this project, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the following information:

• Your Full Name (First and Last)
• Your Redpill Name
• Mailing Address
• Cellular Telephone Number

Oh Phrack, i knew you would have something going on!

Only if you're comfortable with the idea of having inverted testicles.

Dear God, I'm going to need to get my medical license to be an effective Patcher in this game. o_O

Ok, so question.  What channel is Project Slumber on in irc.mibbit.net?

You know, if we could all move to one city, we could call the city that we moved to "MegaCity" and we could use stuff like Airsoft guns.  I already found an airsoft shotgun.

And guys... an Alternate Reality Game is not the same as Live Action Role-Playing Game:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larp

An example of an Alternate Reality Game would be The LOST Experience, which was amazing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_experience

Listen to Wikipedia.  It is ghost-written by the Oracle.

Yea, but it'd be kinda cool if LARP was incorporated into the ARG.  I mean throughout the Matrix movies, Animatrix and MxO, you had characters and players interacting with one another and their enviorment.

The last thing I need is to sign up for this, only to have a couple of unshaven, overweight dorks in trenchcoats show up to my home while I'm in my boxers, claiming that they're there to show me how deep the rabbit hole goes.

LMAO

I've actually seen pics of MxO players...and I don't think anyone in the community is overweight.
