There's no way I'm writing off the Oligarch story. I think it's great. I've never been a fan of the war because it should have ended long ago with the obliteration of old Zion and a permanent blockade around New Zion. I know this is all fi...

This is one I certainly won't be seeing. The thought of a quarter-gram of anti-matter actually being feasible makes me want to hit something. Preferably something about Dan Brown's person.
Thank you for all your work on this, Vogt. I was only there at the start, but the few battles in which I managed to participate will be fondly remembered. Could you send me the files as well? I'll PM you my e-mail address. I won't host the...

Thankfully, Rare's just explained the Mauser issue. It was a fault on his part. http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...578#36300540779 Given that it was a genuine error, I'm willing to accept an explanation that didn't involve jacks. Whethe...
You probably won't answer this, but did Rarebit's decision take you by surprise like it did us? Or did he tell you a while ago? Employment contracts and all that.

If there's a final battle going down, sign me up (depending on the time, of course). My skills will be rusty as anything, but I'll do my best for one last shot at victory!

*Cries.* Answers! Oh so many answers! *Sniffs.* It's beautiful. Man, it was getting really climactic in the last few chapters there. I wish, if we had to end, it could have ended there. Tonnes of info on the Oligarchs - awesome! I knew the...

Compelling. I've been working on some powerful storytelling tools for the Glitch Society Web site, but I haven't so much as glanced at them in ages. What I'm saying is, if you need help with a site (and it won't take too much time - my att...
Crikey. What can I say? This came as a complete shock. I knew there were doubts in the community - the state of MxO is always in question after all - but this still seems pretty sudden. I just hope your reasons for leaving (leaving the ind...
Very unlikely. We know Charlie's family history, and isn't Liam his older brother? Plus it would be a bit, well, daft. We don't need too many paradoxes either; I think we're fine with the amount of puzzles we have right now! Man, I gotta l...
Excellent stuff! Finally, after an on-off and mostly silly season of Heroes, we can get back to some decent sci-fi drama. I'm excited by the fact that Ben really doesn't seem to be comfortable with any of this; he's not in control any more...
An interesting read, but I don't think half the things you're worrying about are actually worth being bothering by. As far as I'm concerned, there's no great secret behind the EJP mechanism, nor are there serious and long-lasting repercuss...
Any of you lucky Americans got your undeserving hands on the PC version of Mirror's Edge yet? I have to wait until Friday. I know, a whole two days. Christ... So far it's getting better reviews than its console counterparts, with improved...
What is the current situation of your faction? The Glitch Society is bordering on inactive, but there are - I'd estimate - about five or so people who jack in when they can. Unfortunately it always seems to be at different times, so we ten...
Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously; I'd love to hear some good news), but I don't think SI Radio so much as glances at MxO these days. And does Catzi Radio still not have a Web site, blast it?
I can't think of any resolutions as everything's going swimmingly. Apart from my health, but that's sadly out of my hands. Erm... Oh, I don't know. Play TF2 more often? Check e-mails more frequently?

Woah, mild necro there. I know they did it before, but back then they had a considerable number of people to handle the complex task. Now they have a maximum of four people dedicated to MxO, only two of which may have the skills necessary...
We have been, or at least I have. Check the log of the recent Machinist meeting with Gray. I said outright he was telling us porkies - twice at least, I'm sure - but he ignored it.

Curious. Visitors? A delegation of Oligarchs perhaps, come to retrieve the BIP as the Machines are having trouble grabbing it themselves. But the people who appeared didn't look like wireframes to me, so either they're not Oligarchs or the...

Good stuff this week. Sylar's back on form alright - woo-ee! The look on his face when he says 'Got me' was absolutely priceless. Good levels of drama as well with the stand-off and Hiro's mum. I feel compelled as ever to criticise, though...
I was gonna send you a screenshot earlier today, but I was surprised to discover I don't have a decent one taken recently. I'll see what I can do about that tonight.

Yellow, eh? Not bad though. Kind of... refreshing, like lemon sorbet. Proper lemon sorbet, mind, not that stuff that materialises when you have an, uh, accident during the winter months.
Actually, that's the 'new' ZionMainFrame. The old one was accessed by sending /tells to it in-game, but SOE (or was it 'Lith?) wasn't fond of the idea.
