Agreed. I think I've mentioned this before, but it's the mundanity of bluepill life that makes our Matrix feats stand out.

I sincerely hope that the next time such a thing happens, Seraph is able to locate some operatives with an understanding of the english language rather than a knowledge of it.
That Network is one cool customer, I like the way he handled that. I wonder who Anome was looking for with /who.

For future quotage: Rarebit, are there any plans to review or update the Eula/ToS/etc or any other 'permissions' documents related to the Matrix in any or all of it's forms?
Hey Mave, that looks like victory lemonade to me, mind if I have a sip?
This was my first ever event :) What I'd really like to know is how Hostile managed to get to all three..
Everyone and anyone can 'blueshot'. Spies can Punt, Hackers can Logic Cannon, Snipers can Snipe and the list goes on. Also, if you're outnumbered - vs an MA and a spy as per your scenario - then expect to be killed. That's your problem, no...
Wow.. Tyndall's a hottie. *first comment*
I don't know why it never occured to anyone before.. or maybe it has but they haven't said anything. If a man bleeds his life-blood, he will die. In the Matrix, your code is the parallel. These Unlimits have been bleeding their own doom fr...
Thank you to CrazyJun, Tytanya and Mave for saying the all the rational things that needed to be said. Redalibi; The levels of my characters has nothing to do with my personal level of knowledge and experience. I resent your attempt to dis...
Some of these things are by intention. Unlimit hacks for instance seem to be uber in order to keep with the storyline i.e. Unlimits are using cheat codes so their hacks will pwn even when they shouldn't.
Well I could write a big long reply but really I don't have the patience anymore. Many of the people involved in this discussion don't seem likely to give other people's points fair consideration. Renzouken, I hope you have the stamina to...
Arcanoloth man, you're taking a lot of things for granted and I think it's skewing your view of PvP. I don't mean to be offensive here, I just want to point out a few things: Arcanoloth wrote: Firstly, this MKT wasn't sneak attacking, just...
I hope this wrapper didn't contain what it says it did: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k...hocracy/Neo.jpg Vector's Annual Report: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k...acy/Vector2.jpg Tabor Shoes: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k......
The thing is, every phase or part of a mission has to take place inside a mission area. So when you think of it like that, we already have some use of this idea; I've done numerous missions where you take a specific object and plant it in...
Tytanya recieves 1 forum CQ for her application of logic. Nice post^^
Where have I heard 'Marketing and Research' before?
That's a beautiful picture of a beautiful gun. Oh, and I have to second just about every suggestion in this thread.
There's a definite rock/scissors/paper thing with the attack styles. If I remember rightly it's Blue>Red>Green>Blue but don't quote me on that. You want to judge what your opponent is using and be prepared to change if you need to. As far...
I guess we should have seen this coming. Anome is running out of Unlimits and needs to recruit. What we should worry about now is what powers the ethereal have and how Anome will use them. Something tells me locking your house isn't going...
Nice job all concerned, especially Amative *applauds*
On one hand, Il ove that these events are getting better and better in every way, but on the other hand it's only making me feel worse about not being able to attend. And Effectuator still gets the best lines.
Wow.. the Effectuator gets the _best_ lines.
Don't forget your base attributes affect damage and accuracy too. I'm spec'd for MA and have been doing that sort of damage with piston kicks since I got it.
Wow.. now that's what I call an event. There were so many things done so well that I don't know where to start. Well done all involved
WGanubis.. I think you have a spelling mistake in your Sig. Shouldn't 'insulance' be 'insolence'?
OMG so many good quotes: Bannock: What you got a banana or just happy to see me? Crop: This is in danger of getting a little uncool. Crop: Hey, dudeguy in the black coat thingy, could you move just a little to the right? Crop: Like, ow. Cr...
To at least one of my characters, the Matrix represents the Negotiating Table. The fate of the real world is going to be decided by our actions in the Matrix. It's like, a chapter in the saga of humankind. We've reached a kind of crisis po...
"Persephone! Hug me to your perfumed bosom!" QFT Well I have to agree to the mixed emotions on this one. On the one hand, this mission had a lot of aspects and some good roleplay, it looked like a lot of fun. And on the other hand there's...
I must admit that really was disappointing. Not just the RP but the organisation of the Merv operatives. I guess I should be happy that Zion has such an enemy but really I'm not. On the other hand I shouldn't take this example as represent...
The being calling itself 'Shade' is still at large and is hunting PeterForee and MitchelClaibourne. We suspect it is an exile and it seems to have the ability to posess a victim for a period of time. Shade seems to have spoken through Mitc...
My first meeting with RomeoMarnius: Finding him again in Tabor: On the rooftop: A conversation in view of the ocean: The last in a continuing line of detached bluepills. Keep an eye out for 'Shade' who may be hunting them.
The first time I met RomeoMarnius he was rambling.. almost incoherent. He reminded me of PeterForee, walking around without shoes and seeming not altogether present. He threw himself from a rooftop but well, it didn't kill him. I saw him a...
RomeoMarnius, another separated bluepill reminiscient of PeterForee, has left his corporeal form. He wished to let the world know of what he has become. I will post the full story tomorrow when I've had the chance to go through my screensh...
Just as the Matrix reflects the Real, so does the Real reflect the Matrix. Here is where you can post pictures or short stories about the times this happens to you. The Vector server sends a message: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k...r...
WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE Dangit.. I missed another event.
Don't forget there're more than just americans and europeans playing. Personally I'm from New Zealand, and there's also Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, and a tidy pile of other countries with english-speaking residents. All of us like...
I should say at this point that Rarebit has said on the current 'Ask the Devs' thread that PvP missions are extremely unlikely to ever see the light of day. Even so, keep the ideas flowing, one day someone may decide it's worth the trouble...
Ahh, I see what you mean and I can say I didn't mean it to be a forced situation when I wrote it up. I should say I agree with Chuui's post and Tytanya's suggestion about level and Rep. Thanks for the continued interest in this thread.
Well after reading it twice it seems pretty clear what most of it refers to, but there doesn't seem to be any instructions.. What are we supposed to do?
Just in case anyone was wondering, the word is 'Gratis'.
Very nice puzzle and very nice answer. Sadly I didn't realise this was going on until a day or two before the deadline and so had only got around to finding out that the coordinates all referenced Construction Sites. Danged if I knew where...
I can only agree, but for now, I'm off to make an alt called 'Awesomesocks'. I wonder if this is any relation to the coming update?
ROFL @ DragonRam's quote. Anybody get any useful information out of this guy?
We can all understand the limits of distance in a game like this, or rather the limits of a graphics card. But it seems to me that if you can't show detail at range of a wide area, you should at least be able to show detail at range of a s...
One of my characters works for the Machines in order to help them create and maintain a better world for all those hapless bluepills. There are still a great many people hardwired into the Matrix, and this character aims to make life bette...
I guess you'd either have to have enforced pvp during contested missions or set up a new 'contest' condition along the lines of duelling/pvp so that players involved could combat each other.
I'd like windows to serve a greater purpose than just being things to see through. I love how you can see the outside world through the windows in the Matrix but there's more potential there. What if windows were coded more like doors? Cod...
One of the things I got excited about when I first got the game was the suggestion of running missions against other players. I'm not sure where I got this idea, maybe I misread a review or invented it myself without noticing. Either way,...
My goodness, one of my words got censored.. I can't even remember what it was..
How many times have you hung out at Mara and thought 'Boy, I could do with a coffee.' How many times have you sat at Tabor with your belly rumbling? I'd like to see some shops in the Matrix - to add to the 'flavour' of the game. How about...
