Ok, now you see, that's a nice bunch of words and some half-attempted poetry, but there's no real reason given. Tell us again exactly why Neo is so important? Why does getting Neo back from the machines matter in the slightest? Shouldn't y...
I wonder what the purpose of posting a message to all the leaders of EPN factions directly on data node one is. Considering the name of this so-called operation, I imagine it will be a speech or two. Yawn. Perhaps if the speakers will be s...

And that feeling doesn't require you to be in character at all times. You can be part of a story, or create your own, without being unable to talk to people as -you-. I think the definition of 'serious' needs some work.
Pirathonite and I make attempts to RP when we're in and not PvPing. I've got a story going now (for which I actually need to go write another NR post, come to think of it) that he's a part of, and DesperAuto (who joined our crew entirely f...
Sweet stuff, it does seem to explain the "Bonuses" a little better to me. Couple things I noticed skimming over it: "These rounds are not zero-sum combat, which means that in each round you and your opponent can either be hit and hit, be h...
Why join Winter Brood? Well, let's see. Their members are consistently good fighters the few times that I do see them engaged in such uncivilized activity; they also have some consistently good characters, stories, and events lined up; and...
Try hitting a martial artist who has hyper-deflect running, as well as a sakura bandana and maybe a troll's hide or some other such little buff. When the martial artist is using block or grab (as I tend to do), it doesn't happen very often...
Improved Hacking and Viral Deflect work, but then, if you want a good viral D buff, use the one on the Trauma tree, since that's generally what people run alongside FM. As I've stated before, Combat Auras do not work the way they should. C...
But the IS costs on those abilities don't matter because the abilities don't do anything! They don't stack, they're completely useless! It's like saying, "Hey, look, I can waste only a NOMINAL amount of Inner Strength to walk around and ge...
Last I tried using my FM tree, I had much beef with it. Here's mah problem: Combat Auras unstackable. Combat Aura 2.0 would rarely affect anyone on my team because their own trees - gunner, martial arts, whatever - all had "higher versions...

Maybe you could bump your threads with something more creative or interesting - or just with more than one word, eh? EPN = The Faction Whose Leader Would Not Die. Fun group I think.

Let's not pat ourselves on the back for taking on Tungsten's goons one at a time after she had fled. When confronted with anywhere from 5-10 Unlimit troopers and Tungsten herself, we had no hope of defeating them. What we need is a plan of...
I'm just not jacked in for these anymore. It's like they're downloading my work schedule and saying to each other "Ok, he's working today at 6:00. Let's have the event at 7.
The dialogue went something like this: Kellner: "Way to call your machine ops, Gray." *Agent Gray walks up to Kellner and stares him down* Agent Gray: "The necessary operatives were informed, Mr. Friedman." ..... Agent Gray: "Continue to p...
Too bad he didn't take any pictures of my sharp wit. It was obvious to everyone there that my snideness and sarcasm were vastly superior to his snippy retorts. ((Translation: ROFLMAO the title of the thread was him pwning me verbally.))

I laughed too when I first saw it. Unfortunately, when the dots go from 1 to 81 but you can only see 16, it makes it kind of tough. Message Edited by Fatmop on 07.08.2006 01:28 PM
So someone in another thread said that by adding 'timilU' and a comma, you get something readable. Obviously, a binary-to-text translator is not going to read letters when expecting numerical input - so the obvious answer to those first co...

((You people are all crazy! No machinist sides with the Cypherites. The Cyphs side with the machines. As for VL, though, yeah. **bleep** good RPers, most of 'em. Few exceptions.))
When the Cypherites are working to help the machinists find Anome, return the code vials, and (might I add) bring down EPN, what reason do they have to arrest us? You, on the other hand... why hasn't Ghost turned you all in to the authorit...
There's no stopping Matarax. He jacks in just to make speeches sometimes; he hangs out with the mech factions; he's got his own network of spies; hell, he always flags up when there's fighting to do. Matarax is teh pwn.
EPN hardly mounted a defense at all. It was almost comical to watch them try to stop us... Sykin and Pyroclasam fared even worse. If this is how our battles are going to be from now on, I may just go back to the pods now... it'll get quite...
The General may be a problem in your eyes, Sykin, but you're a problem in the machines' eyes. Your aid of E Pluribus Neo has not gone unnoticed, and you heard what the lady said about them.
