What is up with these forums? (This time...)

Is anyone else getting major problems with the forums? That is, besides the usual ones. I'm getting images vanish at random, missing stylesheets (links turn black on a black background, etc) and even some JavaScript functions stop working...

I think half of them say stuff like 'praise Neo' and 'may Neo watch over us', while the other half deny that they do it.

The System, with a capital ess. As in: the Matrix. Harming the Matrix is against the law. There are no rights of protest within the Machines' domain. Constitutional rights? *Laughs.*

I can't speak for EPN, but as far as Cypherites go... On one hand I think their org should be disbanded. It doesn't have a purpose anymore, whatever its members half-proclaim (that is, they say they have a purpose but don't explain what it...

Add an option to NPCs you escort

From a game mechanics point of view I don't think it should be too difficult (unless simulacra are programmed completely differently to NPCs, which wouldn't surprise me), but there'd be a serious problem of window clutter. Depending on the...

You may get lucky. There was no reason for my university (Durham) to block MxO apart from their strict adherence to their own rules: no non-standard ports are opened unless it's for academic reasons. It's not like MxO chews a lot of bandwi...

Application received! If they haven't already, our recruitment officers (Lorellei and Tiango) will meet you in-game for a quick interview before recruiting. Looking forward to meeting you!

[8.2.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Execute"

It makes them look bad because Gray hasn't told us , his operatives, that Wright is in custody rather than dead. That's exactly how they treated the Cypherite issue.

Anyone else pre-ordered the Orange Box on Steam and got the 'beta' of TF2 yet? (I wouldn't call it a real beta; the game's finished. All they're looking for are patch-worthy niggles.) So far I've just listened to the commentary and faffed...

Hovercraft Battles

And it just makes sense. If the Machinists have a bigger fleet, they're gonna kick bottom. If other orgs have a bigger fleet, they'd better get out there and prove it.

It's a daft system, to be sure. You could just call the times 'Pacific' and 'Eastern', as they change between PST/EST and PDT/EDT with the seasons.

She's a right oddball, that one. God knows what she's up to. 'The Matrix will be yours one day.' Ha-hah! She's at it again! Human control of the Matrix... Of all the visions of the future I've heard, that is the most preposterous.

[8.2.3] Mach mission feedback thread: "Caplet"

Sadly, there are invariably those who don't check the faction sites or forums. While we may do all we can to encourage them to, an in-game MOTD would really get the point across.

That's a fair point, as the others have said. I'd say that should be easy to remedy, if the Devs feel like it. Just add a new string to the entries in the /who result. Cypherites and EPNs would still say 'Machines' and 'Zion' respectively,...
