[Syntax] Struggle For Power

**king**

"Don't beleive everything you read in the papers son..."

I remember my father telling me that every time we passed the newstand, headlines screaming tales of war and devastation, of scandal and outrage...

I've done my best to maintain that ideal throughout both my life lived in dreams and the one I awoke to, however I cannot escape the nagging feeling... there is no smoke without fire, and the media sure provide a lot of smoke...

My curiosity is awoken once more as my eyes scan across the cover of a magazine... the same glossy trash I was forever warned against perusing... I reach out and take the second copy from the top, so as not to be plagued by waterlogged pages...

After tossing the newsagent a crumbled note, I slump into the adjacent bench, and allow my thoughts to focus once more at the latest headlines leaping off the magazine...

This is the prelude to an upcoming player event on the Syntax server, which will commence from Monday 31st October. A seperate thread has been created in the Next Renassance forum for all who wish to be involved to Roleplay an introduction to their own individual or group interests, motivations etc towards the subject matter provided by this prelude. That thread can be found HERE

((Apologies Packetburner, seems wires have been crossed. The 'Struggle For Power' event and the 'Megacity Informer' event are two completely different things.

To reitterate - the event for which this thread was created is NOT the megacity informer event.))

((Just to clarify, this event will be commencing from Monday 24th October, not the 31st as previously stated. It is expected to continue until the following weekend. Apologies for the previous error.))

((Remember, this is open to everyone on the Syntax server, to participate, simply "introduce" your character or group into this scenario within this thread.

Making your characters reactions to the latest developments in the Matrix as depecited by the featured article will get you off to a good start with the event.))
