I can't draw any conclusions, but I hope that when the big reveal happens and we discover there really is a free human civilisation outside the petty Cycle and the war between Zion and Zero-One that this civilisation won't be massive, and...

Hey man, good thinking. I forgot about that sketch. Agents would have no business in the Zero-One construct, and couldn't exist in the real Zero-One, so that image never made much sense. So then, people in the mysterious colony still wear...

The Oligarchs, eh? So the intruders are definitely from some sort of community, and probably quite a large one to warrant its own government. Good to see a further reminder that the Machines don't trust the Cypherites any further than they...

I thought I've heard at least two of the Niobe tracks in the Commando Hallways, not just one. I could be wrong, though, and I'm not at home to check.

There's one that isn't used? I thought the only one left was the Niobe one you mentioned. What's the track name? But yeah, the current Datamine track is getting on my nerves. I can't figure out of it's Westview or the music that plays in E...

If they get the rep requirements working you won't need to worry about getting stunned all the time. There aren't many Machinists with maximum reputation. No, not many. Mwuah-ahahahahahah! Anyway, yeah, they seem to sort of work. I can loa...

They what? *Jacks back in.*

Nah, we won't be seeing these. They look a lot like HCFrog's concept for org ability trees, so work on them almost undoubtedly ceased when he left. And this is something Rarebit won't be able to do by himself: it's one thing to move from m...

Correct! However, she probably meant to write 4am PDT, as they probably want to do this at 4am their time. They could shortcut all this by just saying '4am Pacific' - that would flit between PST and PDT without anyone having to worry about...

Yes, it really does.

No, I'm convinced they're still the same person. I was subject to their defensive tactics earlier today. I almost kill one of them, then the other interlocks me while the first gets their health back. There's a definite break in activity b...

Oh god! It's Danielle Wright! She's back and she's taken the guise of Agent Pace!

I thought you said you weren't a goth.

Wah-hahahahahahahahahahahah! I get it now! The Oracle's just trying to confuse the terrorist offshoots and pitch them directly against each other. Neither EPN nor the Cypherites are going to exist for much longer at this rate. Brilliant!

Aw hell. *Runs out of the thread again.*

Nice try, but the Chapter 9 archive missions won't be out by then. Mwuah-hahah! I think. Pfft. Even if Update 59 does happen on Thursday (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't, just the anniversary update) you'll have one day to do the missions.

Blast you. Now I have to use this every time I see a surprising forum post: ThePigeonKing wrote: Perfect.

It's 100%, pure, uncut insanity, that's all. The whole thing. I don't care if the Oracle knows what she's doing; this is a very, very weird way to go about it. Masked psychotics looking after an Exile child! And the Oracle and Veil talking...

Eh-heh. Ah-hahah. Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! We're all going to hell in a handbasket!

Intriguing. Hey, wait... I can enter the contests this year!

With any luck, the party will be as crazy as last year's . It won't be quite as good, of course, because I'm not DJ'ing this year.

Meh, that's just Sentience. They've taken over the Tetragrammaton's job as the uniformed, ever-present, room dominating 'serious' faction with greatest sympathy for the Cypherites out of Syntax Machinists . Only with code pouring out of ev...

The new Datamine collector? I guess he doesn't necessarily have to be in Datamine himself.

Gyah, knew I was missing something this week. Nice going, Phluff. I thought I was in for a 'ph' free read, but then I reached the third paragraph.

Sounds interesting.

It's online? *Looks a little deeper.* Eh-heh, so it is. There's a typo on the bottom of the main page, Shadow. Trying to 'retreive' things, it's not surprising you don't turn up any results.

The delay will be worth it. And you're delaying infinitely less than I do on my projects, so I'd have no right to complain even if I wanted to.

Ah-hahahah! The look on Ben's face when he walked out of the house. Priceless. Good to see a new Dharma station too, even if it wasn't one of the research stations as such. Oh, and well done Brommerz: Widmore it is. Although I still think...
