The Party

The Veritas Lucis faction would like to invite the Megacitizens to celebrate our first anniversary with us (or second anniversary using TGS maths). Take part in our Megacity Fighters Tournament and or just enjoy a wonderful evening / afternoon in The Vault, Lamar Central. Naturally, every honorable faction must have its own SIradio DJ - and we bring you AIYALLA, world-class Dj extraordinaire.

The Tournament

The tournament is open for all loadouts and levels. A fight ill have two or three rounds (best of 3) per duel. You will have to duel a referee before the duel begins to be cleared of all running buffs. You may use all your clothing and you may change it at will during the fight. However, you are not allowed to use pills and boosters. Möbius Code as allowed as it is part of the loadout.

The tournament is not for 50s only. We are working on a system to determine the winner of a duel by points (like in boxing and yes - we will probably have a number girl). The formula is not finished yet, but we are considering to put the elapsed time of the round, the remaining health of the round's winner and the difference in levels into account. That way a fighter 3 levels below might still win a duel if he or she manages to do some damage and stays alive for a longer time before the round (duel) is over. Good / Bad? You tell us - and we keep you informed about the mechanics. Please reply to this thread (with in-game name and level) if you want to take part in the tourney. We lure you with awesome prizes!

So, come ye all and bringeth joy!

I hope my informant was correct and the FM1100 is a single handgun. In that case, I am looking for one. What do you charge for making me one? I think I should be able to provide the weapon subroutine as well. Please reply here or drop me a line in the Simulation.

Good day,

I am willing to sell my enhanced weapon codes: Wooden Stakes, Silver Bullets and the third I cannot quite remember now (Holy Water?), 5 each. Please make your bids if you are interested.

Hey folks. Not that I am the biggest football fan, but here it goes anyway: Leelia's fan wear (with special thanks to Venmm for the golden vinyl pants).

Germany for teh w1n! :smileyvery-happy:

((OOC: We are a RP faction and are currently seeking mature players of all levels. Experience in RPing is not necessary as it is so easy to learn SMILEY<img mce_tsrc=

... and we will gladly assist. If you want to have a closer look about who we are, you may want to have a look at our forums. ))

Edit: hyperlink repaired

((This is the continuation of the thread Reclaiming the Surface,
started by Atem on the Syntax main forum a while ago. It is intended
for all who wish to take part on RP connected with ventures in the
Desert of the Real. We welcome anybody who wants to join in.))

((Hm... too bad, Penguin. I found it rather promising if you keep that
spam-word out of it. I had hoped that the thread would evolve into an
even interesting, creative, fan-fictionous and most of all distributed story. Well... why is it that I just lost my motivation to try one of those in the NR board?))

((Should we ever meet the guy/girl who invented timezones, I think many
of us could imagine a thousand terrible things to do to him/her.
Playing MxO takes its toll. And so after having talked about CQ values and /play time, I'm curious
about your /aaospn (Average amount of sleep) with both extreme values
(high/low) as well.

I am at about 5 hours I think, with 3 hours on the low and about 8
hours on the high end. It's not that I play too often, but honestly
starting to play MxO half a year ago tought me that I don't need as
much sleep as I ever thought I would.))

OOC:

Hello folks.

Not that I am too much into
PVP, but as I have written on the old Linenoise forums a few months
ago, I do like PVP-enabled RP which eventually leads to RP-enabled PVP
(or short: RPvP). I need a
background / motivation why my character fights as opposed to senseless slaughter in
Mara C. :smileytongue:

To
have a nice RPvP for all parties involved, we talked about rules before
we started recently. This thread is about such rules. The OOC babble
about what is allowed and what not in this or that particular fight is
a bit disturbing when the tension already rose to the point of no
return. ... Uhm... I could give a more detailed
real-life example but seeing that there are also underaged
MxO'ers I think I'll skip the part. Bet you know what I
mean. The purpose of such a RPvP Conduct is to move into
action faster. I imagine to have several opt-in game modes so that the
declaration of rules before a battle only says "with hacks, no rez,
with heal, (..)". Best would be if we could decide for a "default mode"
that applies when no opt-in's are declared explicitly.

Oki-dokie, here goes my proposal:

1. No Hacking
Hacking
is considered unmatrix'ish by the greater part of Syntax' RP community.
You never saw Morph, Neo or Trin throwing Logic Barrages at one of
their foes. Fighting the Matrix style resolves to these two things:
"Guns, lotsa guns!" and "I know Kungfu" (Feel free to replace Kungfu with your favorite MA style). In RPvP, no hacking is allowed, especially no area effects and if for no other reason then because you hurt your allies from other orgs as well. RPvP works only with guns and fists.

2. Reconstructing / Ressurection
When you die, the fight is over for you. You can /reconstruct (or wait for the timeout) and can of course return to the battlefield but you are expected to stay out of the fighting. Don't flag and use /mood hurt
to indicate that you're unable to intercept anyone. Your character can't really
die thanks to the EJP, but reconstructing is a painful process anyway:
your mind is very talented in making the pain real.

3. Area Chat

During the fight, no OOC chatter in
area please. In fact, talk as little as possible. Don't expect anyone
(read: me) to pay attention to the chat window anyway when I am in the
middle of the battlefield.

4. Healing
If desired, those involved can agree to not use self-healing code (e.g. Möbius) or health pills.
Personally, I don't have anything against Moebius as it has a fair
re-use timer. I'd like to think of it as some kind of dirty hack of
your character's operator onboard the hovercraft.

5. Patching / Buffs
People should agree about the use of tactic boosters. As a proposal: the Force Enhancer tree is allowed (non-area effects). External healing / patching is not allowed unless stated otherwise.

I would vote for a default mode like this:

- (1): as stated above
- (2): as stated above

- (3): as stated above

- (4): Default is with Moebius Code but without pills.
- (5): Default is no TBs, with individual FE abilities, no healing / patching.

Now I am interested in you comments / additions as well as your /sign replies. I have another idea about an IC-novelty of the EJP, but this will follow at another time.

So long,
Carsten

This is OOC: both out-of-character and our-of-curiosity :smileyhappy:

During last night's meeting and while trolling these forums, I realized
that many of you have a strong RP background. Be it "Like an actor",
writer, P&P player/gamemaster, MUDs and such... I am curious about
what your backgrounds are, even what your experiences are when you
first started it here. Oh, and to avoid misconception: This thread is
not meant for (personal) boasting SMILEY

I am playing P&P roleplaying games for over 12 years now; fantasy
(MERP, TBE*), future (Starwars- although only briefly, SR) and as of
latety, "horror" (Vampire: The Masquerade). I started Live Action RPing
half a year ago (also Vampire: The Masquerade). MxO is my first MMO and
I am enjoying it since I started it by the end of April this year.

Bye-o,

Carsten**

*) German RPG

**) yep, a guy. Now let's see who are the -real- RPers and still contact Leelia IC

OOC:

Well, not that you would care... Some of you do know me, most of you do
not I believe. But with all the superb roleplayers leaving for good or
taking an extended leave I feel that some positive energy is needed: I
shall stay! SMILEY

I'm not happy wie SOE either but I'll clench my teeth
until we find ourselves in a better time than this. Feel free to join
in - the more good RP'ers take their hat, the less enjoyable it gets.

Hope to see you jacked in soon,

Lee

Counsellor,

I know the official report is long overdue, so here it is. Yes, the
gossip is correct this time: the increasing quarrels between the
leading officers of the Oriens Veritas have led to a split and
eventually the disbanding of the faction. Captain Jobi is utterly
posessed by the idea of taking revenge of that Espi character with whom
we all had bitter experiences already and who is believed to be behind
Olisi's - Cpt. Jobi's brother - death.

Communication within the faction came to a complete halt as did the
authority of the former Oriens Veritas' council, made of all three rank
#1 ship's captains and their firstmates. I am sure you are aware of the
commands issued to the Moirai and about the reaction of its currently
acting captain, Venmm. Nonetheless, I decided to continue the
cooperation with him and his ship even if that would mean being accused
of compliancy in that matter.

With the strong support of my fellow crewmen Ozzin and Zampano, we
decided to form the Coma Solaris, a faction which aims to continue the
goals of the old Oriens, to unscorch the sky and enable mankind to live
a life as humans again - on the surface. Since my awakening, I can't
remember a time being more dangerous than now and it is a hard task to
stand alone. We are currently seeking close alliences in our mostly
scientific mission and I beg you to continue your support. You have
always been our premier advocate down in Zion and I hope that your
trust in our cause has not ceased. The old Oriens Veritas is no more,
but it shall live on within our hearts - and nothing will change that.

"The sun sets only to rise again."

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sincerly,

Cpt. Leelia of the Onesimus
