Good stuff, man.

That thing Keamy's wearing must be a bomb. Reminds me of the Farscape episode 'We're So Screwed', only I don't see Keamy striding across tables any time soon. I've got no idea what Claire's up to, but I saw the Christian thing coming. I'd...

After last week's trailers and sneak peeks, I'm really looking forward to this one. But it'll have to wait till lunchtime. -_-

Can't say I'm happy about Cypherites getting preferential treatment, though it pleases me to think that they are as clueless about the deeper reason behind this as everyone else. All the same, this is absolutely priceless: I never knew tho...

Die?

Heh, no point. These things have been mentioned a dozen times already. They say they'll, uh, take it into consideration...

Remember those Zion captains? They didn't recognise restrictions or listen to warnings either, and look what happened to them. Anyway, shouldn't you be busy rebuilding old Zion for some asinine purpose or something?

Word up for Sennheiser! *Strokes the pair of CX500s sitting on his desk.* Seriously, I didn't realise an MP3 player could sound so good with different ear buds. The bass on these things is brilliant.

I can sort of see where they're coming from by not correlating multiple instances of the same friend. If you initiate a conversion to an in-game friend through their entry under one of your characters, that character will appear to be spea...

(( Oligarch Network? Gaaaargh, I need a Merv alt! ))

Oh, I use it for spying on the game without launching MxO itself. It's good for seeing how many people are in-game and is as close to the old out-of-game AOL chat as we're ever going to get. But for those functions, the launcher is way too...

That's something that could really do with changing, if you ask me. The limited team size almost ruins meetings in org areas and other suggestions like this. I'm not saying increase the team size (I don't know how that would affect other t...

Ah, I've been waiting for the next big update. Can't check it out till I'm home, though. I'm guessing the execution still sucks. I'd love to know what they've been working on all these months is nothing's improved very much.

Oh, I highly doubt that the colony had any hand in setting up the Cycle, the War, Zion and so forth. The reason we've known so far for all those things is probably true: that the Architect's solution wasn't perfect and they needed some sor...

I'm... not so sure. I was definitely going before, but now I'm not so sure. It looks unlikely that anyone else from my faction will be going (seeing them was a big reason for me going), and I could put the immense cost of a trip to Vegas t...

Goodness, that's quite a compelling theory actually. Not half troubling, though: I don't like the idea that humanity just gave up trying to save their planet and opted for the Matrix solution. Stinks of some Cypherite dream to me. And a fa...

Oh, I get ya. (And I'd love to know when Gray referred to anyone as 'The Oligarchy'.) Naturally, yes, I am curious as to how the colony has maintained some sort of stability with the Machines, but I'm going to go on a witch hunt because I...

Incidentally, if we ever find out more about this secret colony, I hope to god that it isn't called 'The Oligarchy'. I wouldn't have called pre-War England, Germany, the US and all the rest of them 'The Democracy'.

While I applaud the principle of getting Halborn out of the Matrix... Oh-hoho, you're in trouble now. If he can't get into the Matrix anymore, he's going to head to his next target all the faster. Let's hope New Zion is on its toes - I rec...

(( Whuh? Again?! And I didn't notice it this time. So yeah, for future reference to anyone who's bothered, the correct grammatical construct is would've , shortened from 'would have'. 'Would of' has no meaning. ))

I hope you feel better soon, lass.

Heh, welcome back to the madhouse. I'm sure you've been looking forward to it.

Aw, you had to go and tell everyone.

Well Colt doesn't like the prospect of Lock in charge again, although I haven't seen it suggested that Lock is getting his position back yet anyway. I wonder if Roland feels the same way. This is going to be fun.

Just rewatched some bits, and I noticed that Ben comes out of that secret room all grubby. When he goes in his face and shirt are clean, but when he comes out he's all covered in ash (mostly heavy spots of it), like he's been shoveling coa...

Woo-ee, that was crazy. So much going on. So now we know Ben has some control over Cerberus, or maybe he only has control now that the rules have changed. What are the rules? How are they enforced, why and by whom? We've seen more ancient...

(( Yes, you played the part very well. Congratulations. ))

I was wondering a couple of days ago whether the battle would affect the story much. I know Lock is a big name, but I don't think his death, capture or survival would have made much difference ultimately. When he was left in Old Zion, Rola...

I'd love to see this finished, but for now I'll happily use that stuff that's already there. Beyond the front page, as some of you know.

Best. Mission. Ever. I got to kill Cypherites! Well, okay, the engagement protocols prevented me from doing so directly, but I took great pleasure in watching them drop like flies before the accelerated Exiles. And what was it I heard them...

Oops, I never got around to registering on their forums. If these are only invitations to register then, surely I can too. (And no, I still have no intentions on leaving MxO. Stargate Worlds is the only other MMO I might be vaguelly intere...

Huh, he can go after New Zion for all I care. Take out some EMPs, or give the Machines an idea how to get around them themselves. Psion sure was throwing around a lot of references to the hypothesised Oligarchy. Personally I'm not going to...

My congratulations to Zion and, eh, EPN. A sure victory in combat, but we'll see if it serves you in the long run. Personally I'm hoping New Zion gets muddled in a potential power struggle between Lock and Roland. That'd be fun to watch. O...

<_< >_>

Heh, that's a lot. Nice going!

My alts are called CapnProcurator and CaptProcurator, and are all the same character. The problem with playing the same character is that - if you're going for realism at any rate - they can't join other factions. How can I, Procurator, be...

For someone like me who logs everything (and I'm glad to see I'm not alone in that ), that'd be a log file for every time I jack in, which is a scary prospect. People can divide log files up themselves with a bit of pattern matching. Perso...

Nice going, man!

It had better be a new item, whatever it is. And ideally not green trousers... I don't think the people who went to Fan Faire 2007 & 2008 want to look like the Riddler. But I could be wrong. If Rarebit intends to follow the same inspiratio...

Urgh, I hate legalities. Can't SOE just ask WBIE for permission to use a set few images in any way they like ? A one-time grant, so they don't have to spend months going to and fro. The current arrangement is costly for both sides, and doe...

They're clearly at a high technological level, no doubt on par with the Machines. They're also at peace, or have some other deal going that makes the Matrix and the war between Zion and Zero-One utterly insignificant.

Way ahead of you. http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...388#36300441513 http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...388#36300442072

Meh, I'm right nervous about booking a flight, seeing as they're non-refundable. Anyone have any bad stories, warnings or general tips about air travel to & from previous fan faires? £500-£600 is a lot of money to waste.

Take it easy, Virrago, and try not to think of the mess you'll have to clear up when you get back.

(( Ah, good. Assuming this area is where the intruders' colony is located, I'm glad it's tucked away somewhere where it's unlikely to be stumbled upon. There was a serious risk of messing with people's RP if, say, the colony covered half o...

The standard rate at the moment (though I could swear it was less a few hours ago) is $145. >_>

Confirmed at last! However, er... booking through the hotel's own system (which I tried a few hours ago) was a lot cheaper than SOE's 'discounted' rate. Now the rates have jumped up.

Excellent work, thanks! My suspicions were justified: Carlyne's ship sounds a lot like mine, except for being smaller. Streamlined, internal (recessed) hoverpads, stealthy design, fast and maneuverable. Grr.

H'mm, I need a transcript of this mission. If it's going on about high-tech ships, this is relevant to my interests .

Nah, they've overwritten a few Redpills. That's why Seraph went on a little rampage.

I said congratulations ages ago, but I'll say it again so I don't look like a meanie. Congratulations! *Waits patiently for the podcast.*

Not his colony, just its rulers. They probably fulfill exactly the same function as Zion's Council, but Rare/Chadders called them Oligarchs to avoid any confusion. Info about oligarchies, the most oddly named form of government I've ever h...

Too bizarre for words.
