Not sure where Kreis was last night, but we'll be on next week.
Not sure about Vector-Hostile, but there's a high number of Zion on Recursion and a high number of Machines on Syntax, and we could sure use some good Mervs on both.
Morraeon does this regularly with drunk Demon Army guys she finds staggering around... though I have to add, by "helping them", she means killing them and eating their code. Of course this means she gets a second-hand buzz from them, which...

(( :: Applauds:: Nicely done! love the auditory details! Helps you really get a good feel of what it's like to be inside this guy's head.))

Kreis wrote: Did someone say Limbo? I am so gonna beat you at this, Human. (( :: Snerk-snerk-snerk:: )) The Capitol City Ballet presents a futuristic re-envisioning of "Swan Lake".
(( Aww, that's kinda kyoot, actually... though the ending has a touch of foreboding to it... And shucks, there goes the little present Sieges went out of her way to get. Ah well, this is so well-done, I'm certainly not objecting!))

What is your experience with this? It's a bit irritating, if you're running, say, Escort missions, since the spawn will attack the escort NPC, but I actually factored this into my RP: one of my alts is a wierd Exile who hunts Exiles for th...

01/05/09 -- Familia Grigori's Monday Night Fights -- I'll see if I can get another family member to post some snaps from later on when it got crazy:
Your Banana Peel does 2,330 damage to Zero-One Soldier.
Image by SenaDe Merv radio has been lacking a presence in the Matrix, and so several members of Familia Grigori, under the leadership of Kreis, a crewmember on board the Cherubim, have risen to this challenge. And so we present to you a bl...

Hee, I hear yah, kind of: I was in my late twenties when I started playing, now I'm in my early thirties.
Morraeon: Yah know, after meetin' this guy in the code, I decided I ain't gonna eat him: he's too *FUNNY*!
o.O? Come again? I thought the very start of character creation was choosing what server you created the character on?

:: Applause:: Great choice of music as always! Using the Downtown interior music was perfect: that cut has always had an ominous feel to me (fitting since Downtown is closest to the Machines' center of command in the simulation).
I'm open-hearted towards most RP, even odd stuff (heck, one of my alts is the reaper of Exiles, so I really can't throw bricks), as long as it has been carefully thought out and the player is conscientious of other people's reactions to it...
