I threatened the Effectuator with my RafterMonkeyDance to transform me into a helicopter. He just said that's soo old. So he tried making me into a crane!!! It didn't work, so he made me into a spotlight!!!!

Godgvier - Spotlight Phaydren - Terminal deviljonny - Hardline Mathalos - Pumkin Grod - A Pile of Garbage Serenpidy - Katana Someone - Cryptos Box Someone - Subway
Grod was a Pandora's Box, I'll have you know! Pile of garbage indeed...
The Cryptos box was williz, and the subway car(s) was Harpalos. And don't forget ArchDuke as the concert lights seen jacking out in your first non-mocha screenshot.
Wooo! I've finally got my picture in a live event, that almost makes up for having to leave before Effy arrived, and by the looks of it he arrived just shortly after I left - grrr!! But whatever, I'm there with my party afro on, and I got a shout out live on air - woooo! It was a fun event, even though I missed the best part.
I waited for you to leave, 'cause...that yellow thing you were spamming was making my eyes hurt, but I didn't want to have to CTRL+F and miss other stuff.
You coulda just asked!! I was just bringing some unnofficial disco lights to the party!! Aww, now I'm hurt - I get close to being in a LE and they wait until I'm gone to start the party... story o' my bloomin' life!! Well I can undestand your point- but couldn't Effy have said "woah- turn out the lights" or something? Ah well, you at least took a screenie of me, I thank you for that!

As awesome as the party was we've already gone through this.
Non canon = No chapter tag.
Imagine a potential player coming into this board, he's a big Matrix fan and is excited about the idea this game continues the story and is officially recognised by the brothers.
Then they see this.
They label the game as one big p1ss take, turn around and never look back.
Heck, i'm still dissapointed the halloween ones havn't been removed. They're even up on www.mxostory.com as chapter relevant events. Hardly helpful to the integrity of the storyline.

i dunno man, if i was new to the game and saw a character effectively being used as a cypher for a powerful program able to "reshape" elements within the matrix - i'd think that was pretty awesome and entirely in line with the idea of "computer simulated world where stuff can be fiddled with".
after all, we have werewolves and those silly "nightmare" things in canon related missions - they seem like a much bigger stretch to me than a program that can fiddle with stuff, even accepting for the fact that ghosts and werewolves were mentioned in the films (and I have huge misgivings about how such a throwaway plot element in reloaded was turned into such a big aspect of the games in any case).

*nods* And today, I overheard a conversation between two new players. One was talking about how he enjoyed this event, and he was hoping that Effy would show up and do it again today. He mentioned that he wanted to be turned into a trash can so he could sneak up on people. ^^

I guess my concern was that you might have refused, and then turned into some kind of crazed griefer who would have insisted on coming back and spamming big area FX no matter how many times I booted you. Been known to happen... So it was a lot safer just to wait it out, especially since you happened to announce you were leaving in area chat just as I got in earshot.
What kind of surprised me was that nobody else was mentioning the FX you were spamming (that big yellow circle one). I wonder if that's just because they're used to people doing that at parties and not listening to requests to stop, or because they had CTRL+F toggled off already, or because they send such requests via tells so as not to spam area chat with spammy "stop spamming" messages, or because they liked the FX. I also noticed that you didn't get too many replies from your area chat messages, and I started to think it might have been because everyone had you on ignore--which I guess would have supported the "they're used to it" theory. But that was all just more or less idle speculation on my part at the time.

Always demanding that I supply the explanations for you, eh? :p
I didn't want to.
The Winter Holiday was mostly between chapters, if I recall, whereas right now we are in the middle of a chapter. The WH lasted far longer, whereas this was just one day. Generally I like to leave the tag on because it helps me when I'm looking back at chronology. Even if the main thrust of the event doesn't have to do directly with chapter 7.1, players present, and character attitudes, will tend to reflect the chapter indirectly.
And man, are we still hung up about "canon"? Stuff happens. Whether or not it's worth remembering is a matter of opinion.
Absolutely loved the festivities, Effy was the icing on the delicious cake for that Anniversary Party. I'm excited, this is definitely a good omen for the Anniversary Event still to come. Happy Birthday MxO, you're turning 2! Cute cute baby!
