Datamine rocks on a grand scale. Congratulations Rarebit (and anyone else who may have worked on it but kept their efforts unmentioned).

I'm not so sure. So far the original Intruder ran around affecting programs. His attentions may now be diverted away from that, but scuffles between multiple Intruders are going to cause physical harm to the Matrix. They're going to fight...

Cinematic 9.3 *Spoilers

I seem to doubt they want either of them in. As for who the Intruders are working for, it's easy: themselves. They don't care about the politics of the Matrix. If they aren't working for themselves, they're working for someone we haven't h...

Hai!

Alrigh'? Good to hear from you. I did wonder if you'd left for Oman when you didn't say goodbye. Edit: I fail: you did say goodbye. I just hadn't been in-game in days.

mass improvments to the Soe Launcher

Oh, sure, just what we need: more bloated software. The Launcher is a disgrace as it is (as far as execution goes, not concept). How bad will it be with all this stuff tacked on? Start it again, avoiding the use of Flash this time, then ad...

What's wrong with that? Giant, pink marshmallows. Granted they look a bit mouldy, but it's about time we had more food in the Matrix besides those dirty pizza boxes. And cake.

To be fair, Paul did look a little silly, at least in DX2. I wouldn't dream of comparing Mr Robinson to JC, though.

MxO no longer part of Station Access?

Yeah, but we've already pursued the community ladder. Raijinn & Virrago -> Ashlanne -> Moonlite -> Brad Wilcox. Wilcox expressed concern, but we don't seem to have seen much improvement other than increased airtime in the podcasts (which i...

Nah, they're community management. They can edit their own sites at most, though even Virrago still has to go through Web Pretentious to get half the stuff done 'cos they haven't given him the right tools. Walrus suffered the same problems...

Who, though? SOE or the artist? If it's SOE that's doing it, I have to wonder why. They've been quite clear that MxO isn't going anywhere, so it can't be that they're ashamed of it or are trying to close it down. It's mentioned in other pl...

What Makes a Clan Long-Lived?

I'd say it's more to do with the people than the factions (clans indeed ). If the faction members are more likely to stick with the game and stick with their friends, the faction remains coherent and thus survives. If the members aren't li...

Exactly. Earlier in the thread people were assuming there were going to be new Proxies to find in the Mega City. That would be madness.

Looking good, Shadow! Very 'Web 2.0'. I trust you won't use too much AJAX, though, if you are at all - it tends to get overused and breaks normal browser behaviour on other sites.

Skinner died at the Assassin's hand, didn't he? The Assassin was kinda special - he had killcodes and could undoubtedly have deleted any program he wanted. Permanently.
