Prowling the streets

Diff'rent demons than normal

On All Hallow's Eve

Thanks! I actually didn't get to my Looking Glass until just
now. I check my own threads befroe going to the official stuff. SMILEY

Thanks for the idea, Detrius! SMILEY

The rules for limericks are much more confusing but I think we can let
fly. Just follow the flow and the beat. For those that want
the exercise, surf here for the 'proper' way to do limericks.

In the mean time....

A hacker named Neo once slumbered

Dreaming through dreams unencumbered

Taken away

From his normal day

He told us Machine Days were numbered

Limericks amuse

With ribald glee I go post

There once was a Redpill named Switch

Enduring a peculiar itch

Looking out on the city

And noting with pity

"We humans are living a myth..."

Hunger struck quickly

Late night dinner in Sai Kung

It looks like Nemo

A pretty young redpill named Caroline

Was farming for frags for quite some time

She stayed out too late

Met an unkind, sad fate

And got ganked for her code at the hardline.

The slow, lonely walks

The cold, dark, thankless hours

Sad Data Miner...

A jumpy machinist named Cleo

Had dreams of flying like Neo

She leapt to the sky

Got swarmed by flies

And wound up in a Zionite video

"Morpheus" Trinity said

"I really hope Neo's not dead

"Though things look quite grim

"I will see him again

"If not in this sequel, then next"

There once was a coder named Sarah

Who tried making films down at Mara

She kept flipping bits

But went into fits

When PVP lag blurred her camera

Running missions late

The Event is long over

Are they 'Critical'?

heh

Awesome job people!

Via Cell call from Tyndal I was tasked

With killing some exiles in masks

I went to the target,

Killed a succubus harlot

And finally levelled at last

And why did you choose it?

I am Captain of the Grand Illusion.

The name struck a chord with me (no pun)
as the Matrix is, itself, an illusion. It was kind of an homage
to the whole idea of the Matrix. It is also the name of that Styx album and the imagery of crossing over from one world to the next worked pretty well in a Matrixey context.

So there. SMILEY

It is great seeing that thought went into naming a lot of your
Hovers. I alwys felt the name should be a point of honor.
Something that is as important as the people running them.

Well Done!

While strolling the streets of the city

With alleys and dumpsters quite gritty

   I encountered a lass

   She attacked me, with sass

And erased me with no bit of pity

People say that we Agents are mean

Our appearance always causes a scene

   So I tracked down that lass

   And it came to pass

That I paid back her 'kindness' extreme

After being away for a while, I jacked in and found one of my favorite (read: Irritating) bugs was still there.

Mousing over an item in your Code Compiler still doesn't show the item details the way it used to. Makes it real irritating especially now that there are several identically named items with differring buffs...

But I'm not bitter...

The Archivist Broker said to me

There's lots up there to do and see

Ninjas and Robots

And bloodsucking Goths

Not to mention the buckets of X.P.

Diff'rent streets and crowds

Wondering where they all went

Old friends from Beta

heh. so much fun when stuck at work and not 'jacked in'...

While running some missions, post Beta

My team was as sharp as a razor

The missions would fly

Since we had a spy

And we'd save all the looting for later...

Haiku's great power

Subtle, evocative words

On ANY subject

I might wind up missing some of these old "Dawn of Time" issues if they went and fixed them...

Redpills are roaming

Searching for cryptic boxes

Holding mystery

Happy Holidays, Redpills!

----------------

Rudolph the Rednosed Redpill

Had some very shiny code

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glowed

All of the other Redpills

Used to laugh and call him lame

They never let poor Rudolph

Join in their PVP Games

Then one day at Mara C

Walrus came to say

Rudolph with your code so bright

Won't you hack with me tonight?

Then all the Redpills loved him

As they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the Rednosed Redpill

You'll always be a big N00-B!

Cryptos, the quirky magician

Appeared here and there, now and again

He prophesied doom

And city wide gloom

And told everyone who stopped to listen

Spies are both careful and wiley to boot
Your viral resistance is moot
A Punt's introspection
Ignores Viral Deflection
And leaves you much too weak to loot

Neo, silent, dead...
Killed not by Smith, nor Machine
The One-Star Bandit.

I am so bummed I missed this. I was (am) out of state and on a
24k dialup so swinging aorund online was not a viable option.

Time enough to see

All skills developed fully

Never enough time

We're looking at combat revisions

That surely will change all our visions

We will go back and crunch

Our bonus point bunch

And revisit each level's decisions

I have been acting as an investigative reporter covering these leaks. I look forward to comparing notes and arranging a possible interview with the MCDE officials face to face.

As a long-suffering coder, mere words can not convey my support of this idea.

Nice idea for a workaround but it still is real irritating not being able to chat. Shoot, I can chat during COMBAT for crying out loud!

Time for another post to ask for some dev time on this. We USED to have it. It's been at least a year since last it worked. It is a troublesome thing not knowing what the actual item is you are compiling without re-checking it manually in the Code Analyzer. And even this doesn't work since we now have multiple items with the same name!

And for the record, I would trade a thousand /afk-type mods for the ability to see what an item's details were in the Code Compiler.

Just checked. This is a happy(happier) Weasel...

Well, I actually swung by like 11:30pm and sold some discount skills and tac-boosters to a couple people. Also came up with some Data Mining tools for someone else. For some reason, I didn't have Advanced Taps or Advanced Data Goggles decomped and ready. I really dropped the ball and had to go search them out.

It was not a total waste!

This was one of those life-affirming changes that the Devs made. Right up there with doubling the inventory slots.

What I did was print out a 10x10 grid and wrote in what was
where. It made making the macro writing much easier.
Knowing what row/col held what made all the difference when setting up
the /USE commands to swap clothes and weapons around.
