In order to play a hacker effectively, you must have accuracy bonus clothing and you must learn to use viral defense downgrades. Until then, it gonna be hit or missmissmissmissmiss.

Not to mention the fact that it's pretty much sci-fi canon that screwing around with people's memories usually tends to have disastrous effects; memory 'ricochets' that cause madness, total memory failure, total recall, recall ending in ca...

Hmm, I remember there being a thread about this not to long ago on the Matrix Universe board. I don't think we were able to work anything out; it ended up (like so many other things here) as a "play it how you want to" kind of deal. I woul...

I. . .I am stunned. Total loss for words. There is simply too much in that work to comment on. Please, make a pdf version for download, Py. That's one for the history books. Dear Lord, so much talent. . .

Wow, tattoos and all. Cool beans! This is an outstanding addition to the game.

Resonations The cockpit of the Rocinante was dark, with only two small, dimly glowing lights from the deck to illuminate the way out to the passageway. There was no light coming in through the windscreen because it was pitch black outside,...

I think the programs can lie, but choose not to because that would debase them to the emotional, human level. The Architect would consider lying beneath him. And for the Merovingian (and others in his employ) it is more like a game to avoi...

Don't you remember anything from Jurassic Park man? "Life finds a way. . " lol, jk. Really though, the planet isn't completely dead, or the Machines would be working on a way to leave. With sunshine, terraforming, and other as yet undiscov...

It's a great idea, GG, and it's kind of inspired me to do my own little desktop project. But, just for some useful feedback, the bullet-ripple effect really works best when it is see-through (i.e. with a background that will be broken up b...

Some insight? I do hope that was facetiousness. The Broken EP was one of Trent's best works. Full of angst and pain, you can really feel the emotion of this album. I agree, though, "Happiness in Slavery" does sum up the lives of bluepills...

Fractor, I would think the Machines would respect those wishes as it means a "happy sleeper", if you get my meaning. Redalibi, I didn't mean you to join the Cyphs, just go to them for reinsertion. Rainking, as always, you argue for the sak...

Let's say you decided that Redpill life was too dangerous, boring, cold, whatever, and went to the Cypherites for reinsertion. Would you want a mindwipe to forget ever being extracted (with happy, content memories in place of the old ones)...

Does anybody know where I can find a copy of this on teh tinternets? I really don't want to pay $30 (with s&h) for one 10 or 12-page comic.

This is Outstanding! Great visualization, and provides a practical solution to a glaring problem with the archived missions. I can see it already: teams of players getting together to take out the Assassin. Awesome!

Yeah, but that happened after they contacted Neo. At the beginning of the film, they were already observing him. What I would like to know is, when did they start watching Neo? More importantly, why?

yeah, but that still doesn't say how he picked Neo. What do you think it was? I think that Neo found Morpheus. When the film starts, Neo is already under surveillance and has been for a while. Later, Morpheus alludes to the fact that he kn...

How did Morpheus know that Thomas A. Anderson, aka Neo, was the One? What did Neo do that set him apart from any other potentials? And how did the Agents in the beginning not know?

Could you imagine what would happen to this game if it were released that the Brothers W were getting actively re-involved with the game again, albeit for however brief a time? Hell, nearly every old player would likely return just on the...

One thing that has always bothered me about Player Events (PE's) is how easily the story is broken by the PvP aspect. I am not saying that PvP has no place in a PE, quite the contrary. I think it is absolutely necessary! To me, a good PE w...

Agreed. IL is death for a hacker. The basic strategy is to root/hack/stun/hack, rinse and repeat.

How about, "Because we choose to" Cypherite? Just because you'd rather sleep than fight, doesn't mean that what we do isn't right. It just means you're lazy and afraid. I once fought beside you. I have no qualms fighting against you. Stay...

I tend to think that it was a kind of denial on Morpheus' part. That he knew it was Mankind's arrogance that led up to the war, but didn't want to believe that the 'good guys' could have struck first. Or maybe that is what he and all the o...

Well, there has to be a payoff, right? I mean, what's the point? (I know what it is, just making a, well, point) For PvPers its the King-of-hill bragging rights and cq points. For partiers, it's the social interaction. So, what is the poin...

Perhaps, my dear, it would help if you clarified what you mean by "Serious Roleplaying Crews/Factions"? As for me, I am always trying to improve the roleplay in the game. But it is difficult when you have so many younger players on these d...

Hmm, I have to disagree, Remag. What you're actually talking about, philosophically, is perception. No one can grasp fully another's perception of what their truth is. But, there are truths that are universal. There is no air in deep space...
