Earlier today four members including myself of a machinist faction raided a zion zombie party in mansen park. This is not bragging nor is it an invite for FLAMEBAIT. So don't do either. This is a discussion on wethor it is right or wrong to do this. I have played several MMO's including WoW, GuildWars, MuDs, and messed around with a few othes. In all of these Ninja Looting was seen as wrong. However unlike those worlds ((with the exception that I will get to in a second)), The Matrix Online exists in a contest state of war ((especially on this servor)) and we are not supposed to be chummy chum's with the other party. However your not my org or my faction and 99% of you have don't seem to mind taken pot shots at me during in an LET event ((and a lot of you anyother time)). So how does that change anything when its not an LET event. World of Warcraft, your enemies are clearly defined they look evil/good and you look the opposite. You attack them, and they attack you. There are incident's when they are 40 lvls below you and you just don't touch them and there are raid's where anything and EVERYTHING is for grabs. Discuss. Respectully FengShou/DarkMagician

*poke* *poke* Wake up............the real world has you. And it's telling you that your late for work. It's been a while since I have logged in but It's nice for people to think that you have not just up and left the game. I'm still around though......I have been busy. Been all around the central pacific ocean working on various projects and doing...well stuff. But I should be back on around the end of october. To ronin, though you may be good people I do not know If i will be staying with you. I really don't know any of you, and so I will probabley take my leave when iget back. To the cypherites......... just wait a couple more weeks and then you will have more fire power. ......FengShou Mistress Of Kung-Pow

"I knew I should have taken that right turn at Albequrkey" I find myself somewhere in the middle of the Pacific on a little island called majuro ((which happens to be the capitol of the martial islands)).....for the biggest city in the area.... it's only about as wide as a football field. Scary though. Anyways it's been a while but I am still around I should be in around the end of october. Having fun out here and learning a lot to. Hopefully after i am done will be able to post some of my deed's and misdeed's so you can all have a big laugh. DM/Feng

Well I am almoast done lvling my character on vector. FengShou. I wanted to say thanks to following people and factions for helping me out. Iamthesuperbeast- For being the first person to gank me for no good reason and being the first on my to do/ignore list ReviledRestoration-Good people and good friends. Even for evil cypherites. *hides the mask* Infamous/Carebears- These are my people. Helped me out from the get go and most of them have made their 50 prescence felt. Hopefully I can do as good as they did. LiquidHyuzu- Faction that is helping me out now and who I am trying to do what I can. AngelOfVeritas- My friend, nothing more needs to be said. Thanks. I would give you my to do list. But since that includes everyone from genevieve to campusqueen.....It is gonna take a while to clear out. Feng

This would probabaly be a better post in general discussion but since Vector has the only running lottery/casino. Why havn't we seen more of these, its not like we don't have the potential. /random 100 Make double if it comes up 70-90 Make triple if it comes up 90-100 House wins 69 percent of the time. Eventually House makes Nice Chunk O Profit. ~Feng Props to devil for making the idea. Not sure if it is quite what I think ((hate gambling....horrible odds unless say something rare and valuable is at stake *cough *mask*cough cough*))

*Shadows fall across the street as the scene slowly revolves into nightfall, the shadow's lengthening as dim light breaks across the a scene of bloodshed* Breaths of pain escape my lips as my mind reels from the fight. I am slumped against the wall, the wall behind me stained crimson from my blood. Zionite's lie around me and The Authority joke amongst themselves as nothing had just happened, if it was only another sunday morning reading the paper. I stare into space as one of them lifts me off my feet and beats the dust from my jacket.I can feel the blood ceasing to flow and the pain starting to recede. The fight today is done but another one always lies beyond the next door. Yet as I limp to the hardline, my mind feels sad and dismal the echoes of my pain still there. And the knowledge of the pain I caused there as well.
"Summer has come and passed.....the innocent can never last....wake me up when september ends"
The music plays in the background as I walk into the bookstore, listening to the slight twinkling of bells. It feel's so calm in here, so unlike the harsh reality that exists in the outside world. "MR. Stevens....MR STEVENS....!!!!" The attendent comes up to me with the day's sales and a few books that someone dropped for me. Seem's Hypatia left me with a couple of books to look over and enjoy. I look over them and find myself staring into another world, one of the past and present. Words flow across the pages as I read to myself in my study, history rushes by in a blur of black ink and I find myself listening to music once again...
" I walk a lonly road, the only one that I have ever known, and it's only me and I walk alone"
I find myself outside, my buisness in the bookstore done and the books Hypatia sent me have been sent safely to my home. I find myself watching the blues enjoying themselves and my heart sadden's at the loved ones that I lost to this war. My sister is gone, my fiance dead, and now my family no longer reconizes me. I find myself distraught and saddened. And wishing to be asleep once more, wrapped in the warmf embrace of the machine's. So why do I could I do to do what is right. Aiyalla is a sweet memory, the only redpill that I ever loved, dissipeared into the back ground once more. Espi has dissipeared into the shadow's content to let them protect him as he forgets who he is, Authority seem not to care for the live's they take. What am I left with then but myself. And my hope.
"Wake me up when September Ends"
I can still hear the sad music even now in the background of my mind. A reminder of what we once had and now what we are left with.
A tear streaks down my face as I recall those memories. To be cypherite is to long for what has come and gone. To be cypherite is to wish to live in a world that doesn't exist. To be cypherite is to follow your heart's desires.
I am cypherite.
And the blood shed will never end.
I hear gunfire in the distance and I know that I am being called. To do what, I am unsure.

Name says it all. They really don't need me. And Cypherite RP no
longer exists. I will still be playing and still be flagging but
not machinist. I will still be machinist on vector. ((A I am to
lazy to lvl rep, and B. I actually enjoy being a cypherite)).
Anyways. Thanks for the good time cryptos. And if anyone
from EPN comes after me looking for a new faction member I will shove
my code nuke up their *edited for tastefull commentary*.

To those who this may concearn.
Over the course of time since release this game has been rocked
by a large group of incidents the most recent being the Bug
Feedback Forum. Like myself most players when they first picked
up the game thought the possibility of meeting Morpheous and Seraph and
other LET characters was incredible. While that possibility is
incredible it leads to incidents and accusations of favortism.
Which is why we now have ORG meetings in Clubs. This game has
slowly become politicly correct, well at least in a matrix-esqe format.
What we now have is the current state of affairs were one on one's are
rare if ever. The idea of unique item's similer to the assassin's
mask has been destroyed. And people rage because they were not
chosen to report bugs or be privy to the going ons of LESIG.
The reason behind these is not SOE's or the Dev's fault it lies in the
players. We exist in a state of constant fighting. Over
knowledge of the game, over CQ, and over storyline interaction.
Not everyone is as good as everyone else. Each of us needs to
acknowledge that fact.
Not everyone can have an assassin's mask. Like items from World
Of Warcraft, while they exist the difficulty in getting them would be
the same as assassin's masks. Not everyone can meat Niobe
because face it. Your not that high on her list. Not
everyone can be the one. As a group we need to grow up, because
if we don't were gonna get pissed.
You see it all the time in PvP.
"You got pwned", "You suck newb", "You got beat by a carebear"\
This state of mind exists in all formats including storyline and in game knowledge.
Knoweldge is power and to much power is not a good thing, not
everyone is destined to know everything. And not everyone can be
trusted with knowledge and power.
Sincerely FengShou/DarkMagician.

Out of all the MA trees. Aikido GM is probably the one that see's the least use.
The Idea behind it was that it was a defensive style that utulized
moves that created special states rather than your powerless/stun/dps
of karate and kung mu
However there are several factors that turn this tree into a gimped tree.
Lack of stacking buffs- The Main two Aikido Master abilites serene calm
and iron body do not stack with the awakened abilities. both are
timed unlike only the +defense abilties. Its usually just better
save of memory if you do not load them because its not worth it due to
those other abilities being better/longer durations/
By letting these buffs stack you increase a aikido GM's survivabilitiy
Lack of Combo's-Both Speed Tactics and Power Tactics have combination
moves that basicly let you get off two high dps moves off of one state
((though not in same tree)) Grapple which is the main stance of aikido
does not have that though it does have some incredible moves (aerial
take down and tomo-nage). By letting you chain these to oh say
triple front kick a player would be more likely to try and combo
that. ((Tomo_Nage's ability is made up for the fact that it is
much lower dps.))
Inefficient Low Lvl Moves.
Most players stay with the classics. Sky High Sidekick and
Kung-fu's blinding strike both come to mind. Both create
effective states both are decent dps. Then you have
dim-mak,piston kicks, and ki charged punch and they both turn into main
stays even at higher lvls.
Compare this to Counter throw and Maki-Otoshi.
Counter Throw is a low dps state required move. Causes confusion((acts like powerlessness)) and 30 dps.
Maki-Otoshi is a decent is decent dps move that has a 30% of causing melee accuracy on your opponet to go down for a bit.
Maki-Otoshi needs to be able to affect both Balistic and Melee in order
to be effective at that purpose compared to moves like misdirect punch
and sky high sidekick. While Counterthrow needs a better affect
and a little higher dps to put it on par with moves like piston kicks
and dimak strike
And zen master of course...but thats a whole nother story.

Okay this is not a flame war post this is me posting my own independent thoughts on a subject.
Nerfs.
The Basic Rule is that someone will always use a build that is in their
eyes the most effective, that is until someone comes along and builds a
better load. This is what happens in MMO's. Now the dev's
have thought to nerf the following tree's
-Virel
-Patcher
-Spy
Now before these nerf's these trees were inherently powerfull and now
as people move from tree to tree and other's try to take advantage the
tree's get nerfed. Unlike most game's the devs for MxO are very
very client oriented and like to pay attention.
Now here's the deal.
Stop complaining about nerfs. The Same People who complain and
moan about nerf's are the same one who go and swap to the next most
powerfull build they can find.
This has been done before with MKT, Patcher/Gunslinger,
Spies in the recent cr2, and will continue to be done. Now how
about you just enjoy your class.
Me I am probabaly gonna stay As a MA on my alts and hacker as my main. Sniper/Riflemen lacks in the intrlock department.
Please stop complaining about the dev's choices in what they
nerf. Just enjoy the blasted game. and whatever loadout you like.
But I know you will ignore that and go about trying to spam others with cheap abilities and try to rack up cq.

It's time for me to hang up the shades,and take a long walk in the land of the real. I have played this game for a year and a half now. I have had some of the best time's in the last year and a half with everyone and enjoyed fighting besides you and with you. Some of you I consider good friends, while other's will eternally get death by virus.
It's time for DarkMagician to pull his final Magic Trick.

Hello Syntax. It's been a while since Iv'e been here like this
and well, I am not sure if I can continue to play the Matrix
Online. I am doing this as much because I don't want to leave but
there are so many reason's that I should.
-Becuase I live in Japan I find myself missing out on LET, which is the primary reason I play this game.
-I suffer from continuous Lag to the point where intrlock and split
second actions, are not something that I can do reliably. IE it's
impossible for me to do what player's like anxiety and HT do on a
continual basic.
-I have been in this world since release and seen many people come and go, but I am forever a second string player.
-As a player and as a character I am generally disliked and
unknown. DM is no the most well liked player, and for that matter
I am not the most well liked person.
There are many reason's for me to go and not very many for me to stay.
And I am unsure of what to do.

Topic: What will happen now?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have lived in this society for ages it feels like but still nothing
and now it feels as if I am left holding the bag. I have worked
for so many people, so many differn't groups but....nothing
happens. I want to make my input my influence important to the
causes that I believe in but each seems only destined to fall
underneath my feet. And now a briefcase falls into our laps like
a hundred doller bill in the gutter only to slip away into the sewer
grate.
What am I to do, I feel helpless.

Is it the PvP, the ability to beat the snot out of people you don't like who never flag unless they outnumber you ten to one. True RP in a world where everyone hates each other.
Or maby just maby....It's the Buttered Toast and Gravy.

My name is not DM and it is not Penombra. My name is ElecTech. DM and penombra are people I play.
DM is veteran of conflicts. Of the cypherite cause.
Penombra is a passionite young women, reckless and wild.
((Btw I restarted Penombra to wipe her slate clean she is an individual character now with no ties to DM))
Each org to me represents differn't aspects of our mind. The Merovingian interested me, they are a representaion of Passion and Greed. I wanted my other character to be a Merovingian.
The Finest Merv factions out there in my opinion are the Commission and Consequence. I contacted Nephillim of Consequence on Penombra looking to join consequence and solidate Her Position as a Merv. I acceidly let slip to him that my main was a cypherite and told him who I was. Knowing full well that StaticZero the leader of that faction and that he would have to be told and wanting to be the one to tell him what was going on I talked to, and I was immediately shot down. And told that Pen could not be a member of any merv faction connected to The Cirlce organization which consists of all the ones I could want to join. And not only that but my main charcter, DM was KOS to all mervs. I exploded a bit and I will admit. I didn't want to turn this into a shouting match and it did. *sighs*A bit afterwords I was told when I proved my loyalty to the merv I could join. But in the eyes of those that matter , It's MY(the players) Loyalty that matters and not the characters. Which will never happen because DM is where he is for a reason.
I am not writing this to flamebate as one person put it, but because that i find this unsat and that the only thing that stopped me was the fact my other character was a cypherite. To me the greatest thing rob a person of is their ability to choose. Maby other can't keep their characters differn't from each other. But to those that say I was wrong I say this.
"How could you taste all the colors of the rainbow, when all you eat is Vanilla
This is why I am Kill on Sight to the various members. This is the full story.
I also write this because i know there are other players out there who would like to try other groups on their alts but cant
Please no flaming, no screaming, no threats, this is a civil discussion.
Thank you,
Sincerly ElecTech.
P.S. If you want I can post some chat pics and such of the "aftermath"

A lot of the movie character's have special cloathing that you will never see on the drop tables. The Merovingians Lounge Coat, Serpeph Spectacles.
Here is an idea, introduce the concept of world Movie Drops. Unique extremely rare drops for lvl 50's with extremely high end buffs. Some can be from the actual characters from the movies.
Similer to the assassin's mask.
Like Morpheous Coat, Seraphs Overwear, and Cypher's Shades.
Or they can be other items that are unique. This way the high lvl's have something to work for and attain.
Like Agent's Smith's Berratas.
Btw make them non decompable of course.
Higher lvl opponet and higher chevron the higher chance for dropping one ((still astronomical))

Now first of all, why would anyone in their right mind go and try to make info in this game....It's pointless. Now I will be the first to say your wrong. $Info on this game is precious for four reasons. LvLing up and buying those semi important abilities.... Yes the abilities..... It takes millions and millions of info to lvl up those abilites to lvl 50..... Buying those sweet outfits on the market place.... Yes those sweet outfits with those lovely buffs.... Generally speaking due to the fact that most decompile them as soon as they make them...well cloathes spread like wild fire. The Occasional In Game event requiring info... Again sounds weird... but it works rather well.. Pandora;s box was the biggest, was funny listening to people who didn't have a million info on their person. And of course Pills and Shots.. Health, Antibiotic, TB's and health boosters.... They sell for a lot of info on the market and you WILL go through them like wild fire...a stack of 20 doesn't last through ten mins of PvP in Mara C. So how do you make that Info. Crafting..... Farming.... Raiding..... Special Events..... Crafting- Coder is one of the most underutilized diciplines in the game to my opinion. And most people don't even bother ever lvling it. This is a mistake. Until you reach lvl 50 and start lvling up 75% of the trees out there. Lvling coder will make you self-reliant. And an ever popular man with the crowds. Yes....having any form of coder on will get you spam of ./tell XXXXX from the masses for free abilties, cloathing, etc. Especially in Mara C. Now....the true power behind coder is *drum roll* RED FRAGS. Yes the red frags worth a million each and steadily growing RED frags are pain in the *CENSORED* to get. In order for any ability past lvl 20 to be crafted you will need one of these. *Warning* These are hard to get. They drop off mobs in certain districts, each district dropping one of these and only one kind. You will be farming here if you need them. Pills, these are generally Marketplace sold items. Even beyond crafting abilties and cloathing, even fewer coders will code weapons and consumables. Consumables are your pills and your boosters. These are desperately needed for any form of PvP especially if your by yourself. Don't bother selling ./shout in mara C just post them on the market. They will sell....... And as for cloathing. That tends to be a sticky mess. One player will find a extremely powerfull item and A. Keep it to themselves like they should, or B.put it on the market place for a high amount of info. do not be this person.....keep it to yourself....and if you see it on the market....resist the urge to hit buy.....someone else will and then craft the item and sell it for less.....just have patience ((This is not as true in today'sgame as it was back during release)). So if you find an item...keep it TO YOURSELF. I can not stress that enough. Crafting tends to be the slowest of the info gaining, however it also tends to help you in the long run. I reccomend you use it at least for your own private use. The BIG KEYS -Do not attempt to sell In MARA C. Even during busy hours most people really don't pay to much attention to whats actually being said. -Use the market place. There are a lot of items placed on the market for no apparent reason that shouldn't be there. Go through the market and see if you can find any good deals. -Lvl up ability, cloathing, and consumables. you will become a self sufficient player.. -Stock up on Red Frags....you will need them for crafting and selling...they are where most of the costscomesin Raiding.... Raiding is going through archives and hide outs with the express purpose of repeatedly defeating the boss in order to get his drop. The boss in the archives are extremely difficult to beat and require teams. The drop rate is rather bad as well, but the items are the best for their lvl with no exceptions.... The bosses in the hideouts drop a item every time but they have three lvls of items with the most powerfull being only a 1% drop rate.... bosses also spawn slowly... keep this in mind.... Archives Boss Drops Routinely sell in the tens of millions if not more. Hideout Boss drops sell for 500k a pop for tier one increasing to 10 million for the rare drops. Keep these in mind while your raiding. -The Archive boss drops will be fought over if you find them, don't be an *CENSORED*. -The market is flooded with items from hideouts....you will have to sell lower than others to make a profit and constant sales....((unless its tier one then go ahead and charge they will pay for the extra buff)) - A semi constant way to make money from hideouts and a incredible way to make money if you manage it from the bosses but don't expect much. Farming..... Farming is a repetive action designed for the sole purpose of gaining info and code to decompile. A warning before I start. SOE may take some farming actions to be Exploits....because some of them are that cheap. Farming is Player Dependent. Each player comes up with differn't places to farm and differn't items to farm for. Come up with your own stratagy. Some strats will rake in 10million info a hour if you know what your doing, and some will gain you the same amount if your combing for subroutines.....keep that in mind as you play..... Destroyer/Howitzer builds are a must for any farmer due to constant area dam, decentIS use. Also now with CR2 its possible to inflict area damage over a far greater area than before ((THIS IS A BIG HINT ABOUT ONE OF MY FARMING METHODS)) -Farming can be the quickest way to Make INFO Ideas for farming -Pandora's Box Missions. Difficult missions that grant access to some of the better items in the game. ((Seraphim Shose anyone)) This is for info and code purposes only. The boxes are a pain in the *CENSORED* to do as well.. -Downtown. General Area. Use loadouts and just generlly spend time aimlesly wandering. Kill for subs and the occasional drop. -Archives. See RAIDING. Also for the ocassional drop. -Grinding. Doing repitive missions... worst method. Now for the big money kicker.... SPECIAL EVENTS Special Events happen every few months from the pandora boxes to the blue frags..... Blue Frags were being bought out for a million a frag up to 3 million a frag. If you can get on top of those buyers and sellers you will be rich like you wouldn't believe. Special Event Items arepriceless. The Assassin's Mask no longer exists on the syntax servor due to the owners not playing mxo. That alone could have made 500 million info. Special Events....are exactly that special events, they requrie patience time and a bit of luck. That's it for a basic guide on making info for fun and profit if you have any add ons feel free to post them

I have recently met with represenatives of most of the Cypherite factions sans The Visati and My Former Faction The Blue Order. I have come to the realization that the Cypherite's diverse and radical thinking. All its thinking, both from the hippies of the Blue Order, to the zealets of the visati, to the radical sleepwalkers and the authority. We must unite. If we do not we will not survive against the horde. Below are retransmitted texts and images taken at the meeting. We were attacked by EPN many times over the course of our meeting. Our individual grudges, our beliefs mean nothing. If we are to the Neonites nothing but sand in the palm of their hand. We don't have a choice, we will fall as one, or we will suceed as one, regardless of our individual beliefes The Scanner proved that. The Offer is simple, and even if no one bands togeather I will create what I can from those who agree with me, and do what I can against those who do the cypherites harm.

::The scene resolves, a single man walking beneath the shadow of the metacortex building, content with walking alone, softly plodding against the rain, content to be alone:: I turn into an alley, to get some protection against the driving rain, I stay against the wall. I turn back........ a few seconds go by. I do not hear anything but i have the feeling that i am being watched...followed. I ignore the feeling. A few minutes go by, and I enter a bookstore to make a few purchases from Madam T. I stop in front of the door to see a singl man out in the rain, rain dripping from a fedora as he watches me.... "Her....why.....what did she ever do to you..." "She was a pawn...nothing more.....in order to achieve my goals....I had to create a spy" "SHE WAS A HUMAN BEING" Bourbon screams, his anguish and rage readily apparent.
"She was a bluepill, infected with a virus....one of my creations. Similer to that of the apparent Smith Virus, it creates multiple personalities....copies of my mind, my soul that lie within the bluepill. She was awoken and being awoken the virus came into existence. She was my shadow, my twilight....My Penombra......" He looks at me, understanding dawning on my face. His fingers go slack on the trigger guards. "And you...fell for her didn't you Bourbon. Fell in love with a women who never truly existed." As suddenly as his face goes slack, he brings up his pistols and for a split second I can see down the barrell of the guns. But only for a split second, my hand drives into the side of his hand forcing it away and up, as my foot drives into the side of his knee, forcing him towards the deck. He looks up for a split second to see my hand in front of his face....glowing red. Then there is darkness and a message to don lucadello. "I have your operative. There will be a price to pay for an attack on me, I wouldn't reccomend a EJP, that might prove rather painfull for your man. You and I will have words
Dark. "

Hey, I am looking for a group of dedicated coders who don't mind sharing to increase their stock. Their are a lot of unbeleivable items out there that put the old ones to shame. If you are willing to share on a one for one base your coded items, send DarkMagician a tell in game, or Post here. Yours truly, DM

((Thanks to all of those who rp'ed with me this weekend....even you gami)) ::I am sitting by myself on the banks of the river, in the uriah darkyards, the only sounds are the cry of the seagulls:: "You know....you shouldn't be out here alone"...."Yes my sneaky friend, I probabaly shouldn't." She smiles a little, but my gaze does not break from above the waterline "You have a family now, friends, allies" "Yes Twilight..... , That is all well and good, but I have been away for so long, i just need some time....to...well to adjust" ------------------------------- My thoughts travel back, to atem in Morell. To our conversation. HIs little "hints". I had always thought him a little eager to please zionite. His words at the fight in Mura Park seemed to suggest otherwise.....dark ones. As I think to the enemies turned, I think to friends turned to enemies. To the sharp knives of lucadello, the don of the matrix. He is good no doubt, but I need to better. His harsh words cut as deeply as any dagger he has ever laid fingers on......HIs promises..... Those he cut into far more deeply, and his promise to kill me..... I will have to keep an eye on. And to friends made, though my dark memories haunt me. The cypherites have turned away from the path of terrorists and now seek to claim their place among the orgs. However that fight is hard and long, and as the "Blue Sky" proved; it will turn to terrorism again. Some things zion will never allow. They didn't allow me to reamin asleep......********* Kellner, he is a good man. Young, and a little over zealous. But he is true to his words, and even listens to a person such as me for ideas and thoughts. Very trust is he of me. Though My memories may turn to friends..... they also turn to those who haunt me. ---------------------- I speak a signle word full of anger, annoyance, and rigteous indignity "Gami" ---------------------- You dam fool; you once trodded with me on the path to salvation of ourselves. To sleep sweet blue thoughts. I have become hardened and cruel through my time with espi and my long slumber. Red hot anger still courses through my thoughts. And you are holding the answer. And now you stand above, lord of the neonites. A example of which for them to follow. You have no clue how far you have in your journy to the top. You lost that fire, and now only cold lordship you command. But you stand above me, holding the armies, present above Luca, above MAD ATEM, above Jobi. My path will eventually lead me to your door my dear old friend...... ------------------------- The battle's against the sleepers have wrecked my train of thoughts; my trigger finger lay rusty on the rifle. But my mind was fresh and clear onto the path of truth, viral streams of thought. Dark Magic. I felled a giant with those thoughts at Mura today, with those bits and bytes. More Binary Sorcery lies at my finger tips than before, my mind sharper and ignoring the land of fists and bullets. Focused on the ones and zeros. ============================================= Potential Comes from what drives a man's heart; his passion. This is what drives mine. - My kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in "heaven". - When all is a lie, the truth is....what you make of it. -Reality is an illusion albeit a persistent one. -Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. -Never underestimate the power of the soul unleashed
============================================== Twiglight, you may leave. Return to your faction, continue observing. I have buisness that must be done. ................................................................................................................................................................ To all The Players, To all The devs, to all the mobs that I have killed over the years, thank you. It's good to be back.
