Very interesting operation report. But ultimately inaccurate, at least in parts. Illyria

Ghost wrote: One more for the cause. So much for giving new redpills the choice of which org to work for. (I guess Zion only values choice when it's the "right" choice.) Illyria

We're at war. And in all wars, innocent people die. There's no way around it, unfortunately. Illyria

I would be a Machinist as well. Illyria

My faction's rule is red = dead. However, there are some targets we will attack preferentially. Illyria

Neoteny wrote: Was it a statement that we may have expected them to terminate the Truce and attack us? Yeah, it was. Were we wrong to fear such a thing? After all, it's come true, hasn't it? It came true because Zion made it come true. You...

Neoteny wrote: The Machines called a Pre-Emptive strike. They attacked before we did a thing, because they feared that we might develop technology with which to attack. You forget that the Machines haven't attacked Zion. Yet. Illyria

The analogy is sound; both Japan and Zion did something they knew would be construed as hostile by a foreign government. And of course human history should be brought up -- we don't exist in a vacuum with no knowledge of what our species h...

Pyraci wrote: We aren't interested in favors from Machinists nor from the Machine itself. Excellent, because you won't be getting any. Illyria

Neoteny wrote: Now, this suggests that they're going to do something to you once you've finished helping them decimate Zion. Something I'd be willing to bet you won't like - being overwritten, killed, hovercraft swarmed and destroyed by Ma...

Flood and the Effectuator need to go on a mission together... Lyr

It's a shame that extractions are no longer permitted...hopefully they will be reinstated at some time in the future. But for now, Zion's free ride is over. As for the question of age at extraction, I've already suggested why Zion has trad...

Just thought this bears repeating. Illyria

Trust me, you do not want to see my most recent screenshots! (Naked crew picture, naked pvp, and other things that have scarred TC's more sensitive members for life...) Lyr

If you truly fight for humans "both inside and outside the Matrix", you will demonstrate this by not participating in the sick contest your liaison described tonight...you will not kill agents (for their tieclips), because by doing so you...

Rarebit wrote: The Machines did not invent the emergency jackout system. I always wondered about when and how it was invented. Illyria

I think the point is that the Machines *are* going to send their armies. Take a look at Agent Gray's speech to the Machinists on Syntax. Illyria

Illyria pushed her chair back and smiled. She'd finished reading the latest statement about the current situation...all the statements, actually, from everyone on every side. Speculations as to what would happen to Zion, the Machines' huma...

He said 'shut them down', not 'stop them'. And the genocide I was speaking of refers to the Machine race, not the bluepills...who, incidentally, will probably all die if the Machines and the Matrix are 'shut down'. Illyria

"We know what we have to do: shut the Machines down. That's the only way to be sure." So what you're saying is that you want to wipe out the Machine race? Just like our ancestors tried to do? All I can say -- aside from that your willingne...

If the Machines still accept the DoE, then TC does as well. Illyria

The Machines do, but Machinists don't. Illyria

Zion's leaders seem to know the terms of the truce, because they knew the Machines would look at what they'd done as breaking the truce. You might want to ask Niobe and Lock what the terms were. Illyria

We have now thankfully built a new city to defend ourselves, should be need it, for the machines could attack at any given moment... so many claim they wouldn't do that, they were wrong. I am suddenly reminded of David Koresh. His group al...

Words cannot express how utterly disappointed I am in Zion. Building up armaments, preparing for war, all while reaping the benefits of the truce so many of them are speaking out against now...much like Germany did between World Wars 1 and...

The sim may start to question its own sanity... Illyria

I've always wondered about time in the Matrix -- what a cool idea for an event! Illyria

The humans lost the war. How else could the Matrix have been created, if the human race hadn't lost? How could Machines have 'enslaved' the winning side? Illyria

Don't work with terrorists that threaten the stability of the system and the bluepills who rely on it. It isn't really that difficult a concept. EPN threatens the stability of the Matrix, and with it the lives of more than 99% of the human...

The Effectuator is definitely one of the best characters in MxO. Illyria

What's the occasion? Illyria

Some things are just part of the storyline, and can't be changed. Illyria

He seemed like a pretty straightforward guy, not the type to believe in prophecies or mysticism...he probably would have shrugged and said "it figures" when he found out the whole prophecy about the One was just part of the Machines' syste...

I'm so glad that the Oracle is safe! Illyria

*sighs and shakes her head* Illyria

Yes, he does show us the power of belief. Just like the people at Jonestown and Waco did. Illyria

I agree with Cryptos's statement...don't trust those who claim to know. Belief is fine, but when it's at the expense of your common sense it becomes dangerous. If someone claims they know something beyond the shadow of a doubt, or if they'...

Nobody seems to be following the General's orders anymore... Illyria

Well, you *were* doing Machine missions all through it... Illyria
