Had some footage from framerate tests... and some time on my hands. This happened. lol.

The Neonite Files

Music by some cool folks I know through a good friend who is in another band with one of the members.

RAW

Cheers!

SMILEY

Hey folks.

Whether you love me or love to hate me I'd like to apologise for my recent disappearance. I had some very serious real life issues come up and I need to deal with that before I can do anything but stress about some of my problems. SMILEY

I still plan on finishing filming on my movie project Serene Reality, because it's that dam good hehe, but the question now is when. So ... as much as I hate to do this movie production is halted for now. When I have some things worked out RL I'll contact those I had as my main actors to see if they are still interested and then recast as needed. I don't know when. Sometime. Just not now.

Again, I apologise for disappearing. Completely out-of-character for me I know but .. ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Priorities are no fun sometimes.

Cheers!

I hate waiting for things. lol. Idle hands and all that.

So I decided to put up a quick thread containing a couple movies I made that I think are okay. Oh. Just the Matrix stuff of course. SMILEY

Fists of Code

I have two links for this.

The original I submitted to Walrus which can be found here (click me)

And the version shown in-game during the Blue Sky event which is here (click me)

If someone could tell me who the band and song name in the second version that would be awesome. I never did find out.

Before the Dawn

I made this a long time ago. I still kinda like it though. Copyrights? What is this copyright you speak of?

Click me to watch

Matrix - Rebirth

Unfortunately I forgot someone else used this title already. Although they used Rebirth and not Matrix - Rebirth. Oh well. These things happen sometimes. Such is life as the french say. When it was pointed out to me it was far too late to make changes. Oops.

A recap of the cinematics (click me)

After the Sunset pt1: The Lost Prophet

I was messing around and testing some stuff. And I hate to waste footage. Then it turned into almost a real project. heh. Turned out not half bad for such a spur of the moment project. Lots of things I would improve but I was experimenting with most of the footage used. I'm talking to much. I should stop doing that. Just let you watch. lol.

Click me

The Matrix Online 2.0

Never made a real commercial before. Next time I do this I'll use my own footage instead of remixing bits and pieces of the MxO trailers. Still pretty good for Window Movie maker. hehe.

Click Me

Whoops. Time to go back to work. hehe. Enjoy. Those are all youtube links so no long waits for downloads. Cheers!

*crosses fingers and hopes all the links are the right ones*

A Matrix Online movie!

Low-res Trailer (youtube)

Hi-res Trailer (download)

An MxO Movie!

Low-res Trailer (click here)

High-res Trailer (click here to download)

Look here:

https://store.station.sony.com/

And tell me what's missing.

Nah.. nevermind. I'll tell you.

Us.

I can't fathom a reason we are still not listed in the Station.com Store.

I was thinking to myself.

"Self. It's been a long time now. They must have a T-shirt or something I can pay for and wear/use which would also be advertisement for the game."

So ... what the hell?

We don't even have a listing? People can buy the game through digital download or whatever right? So why isn't even that listed?

You have to click through to Station Access to even know we exist.

SMILEY

I don't care if I get an answer or not. Just .. somebody please do something about that.

omg... I feel like our 'marketing' department, or rather the complete lack of one, are playing a lot of golf and not so much work. IF we even have anything resembling a marketing department. I seriously doubt it. I mean .. even if all the games are clumped under one department banner this is still ridiculous.

Monday Night Fight Club - Rebooted

-Same thread, Same Night, New Look-

Hosted by The Pride and The True Believers

Contact Catzi if you wish to enter the tournament.

MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY!!!

Look for further announcements deeper into this thread.

Sorry about the short notice. I took on too many projects. My own fault. SMILEY

Just a get together for roleplayer new and old alike. Or anyone interested in roleplaying. Or wanting to meet new people that roleplay.

Informal. No dress code. No speeches.

I'll be DJing but I don't have fancy gear. Kinda hobbled together from a couple things. SMILEY

Lots of good music though.

See you there.

I was cleaning out some old files and ran across this. It still makes me smile.

Swamp Bug Gets a Badge

Made it way back when I played City of Heroes. Which is why I'm dropping the thread here instead of RSI. Non-MxO stuff and all that jazz.

Cheers!

There have been lots of imposters .. but this guy was the Original ... Swamp Bug !!!!

SMILEY

Authors note: Due to a lack of views in the RSI forum and inability to keep it visible on the first page without spamming the thread I'm reposting it verbatim here in the general forum where there is more traffic.

"The end of the War isn't the End"

A Player made Story trailer.

Whew. Long time making this one.

Tried to make a short one. Scrapped it. Tried another method. Scrapped that. Tried to make it like my other commercial/trailer Matrix Online 2.0. Nope. Made a complete full length movie type version. HA! Yeah right. Tried an information blitz in 30 seconds. Nah. Voice overs.. sounds cool but ... swing and a miss.

So.....

We end up here. heh.

Title says it all.

Since last night.

Nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

Even the Icon in my Favorites list has reverted to a blank IE page...

*CENSORED* is up with that?

I'm lucky I had the forums bookmarked.

Anyone else?

This is just me thinking out loud so don't get too excited yet. LOL.

I was just thinking we haven't had one of these RP meetings in a bit so why not?

BUT... rather than trying to work out differences and argue about things and yada yada yada why not just have a Party?

Drop the RP masks for a while to just meet and greet.

I know there must be a lot of fresh, or not so fresh, redpills that are looking to bust into the RP scene but don't know anybody. We've all been there. We know what that's like. So why not gather and chat? Dance? Paaaaaarty! Discuss things in a cheerful atmosphere! Plot devious plans! Add names to buddy lists! All that fun stuff!

While the structured meetings have been good for working out issues there usually ends up with some bad blood at the end, be it left over or new, at that's not healthy. It's a big city. Room for all our crazy ideas. Even room for crazy PvPers. hehe.

My thought is to have a party in an easy to reach location. Like Parallaxis. With a DJ of course. Probably on a weekend at a time thats reasonable for the majority. Like noon pacific or so. And maybe make it fairly regular like once a month or something? Or maybe every other month?

Thoughts?

Am I climbing an avalanche?

Hanging from a live electrical line?

Trying to shave with a dull razor?

Or I do I have something here?

*Edit: Whoops. Wrong forum. Oh well. Cheers!*

This has been bugging me for a long time and today I decided to say something. We are all guilty of this. Myself included.

Use proper titles that describe your event. You have a WHOLE line you can use. Use it dag nabbit.

If the title is just some guys name that I don't know... then why on earth would I look at your thread?

Don't put just "Event in *insert location*". That tells me absolutely nothing except the location of some mysterious event which so far I have no interest in.

Mysterious event names with no description of the event at all doesn't help a bloody thing. I know. This one I did often. heh.

Are you that lazy that you can't come up with a proper title for your great event? That tells me a lot before I even look at your thread.

Describe your event in the title. I can't stress this enough. If you are going to raid the Museum as the main part of your event.. put it in the title. If there is going to be PvP... put it in the title. If it is a No-PvP thing. Put it in the title. Want an example? Look at the title for this thread. Says it all. Ta-daaa.

Here is another....

Scooby Gang Raid. (( PvP King of the Hill in Zero-One. SMILEY )

Or even

Rogue Security in Park East (( RP event. Part 4 of Blahblah cycle ))

It's not hard to do. More people will show up. More people = more fun and chaos.

I know I sound kinda hostile and I want to say that I am not picking on anyone at all. This is something I'm guilty of too which probably explains my attitude on the matter. hehe. There are many good examples and bad examples in this events forum. I'd like to see it turn into all good examples.

The title promotes your event folks. Use a little marketing.

SMILEY

A deep voice suddenly interupted. [/i][/p][p][i] Skyscream stopped hammering on the metal plate and turned around with a grin. Behind her was a commanding presence. Destiny seemed to ooze out of his soul. She dropped the tool on the sheet of metal with a final sounding clang and stood up. A wide grin suddenly crossed her lips and seemed to light up her face even in the shadow of the monstrous hovercraft she called home. Her first mate, Shadowofpain, came tromping down the gangplank and suddenly froze when he saw the scene before him. [/i][/p][p][i]"Morpheus!" Skyscream couldn't stop grinning as she walked quickly across the small distance to embrace him in quick but heartfelt hug. She stepped back and smiled at him. "I'll be damned. You came! Thank you." [/i][/p][p][i]"You call this a base?" Morpheus smiled as he decided to ignore that he was just hugged and that Shadowofpain was doing an impression of a statue. "It's ... I'm not sure what to say really." [/i][/p][p][i]"Wind in my hair. Open skies." Skyscream laughed as she looked around at thier small encampment on the surface. "We're nomads. What can I say?" [/i][/p][p][i]"Tents though?" Morpheus glanced around at the ramshackle set up. One thing he noticed was that everything could easily be packed up and aboard ship in a very short time. [/i][/p][p][i]"Wigwam." Skyscream chuckled. "The native american tribes in ancient history used them very effectively. These are designed after the ones the Cree tribes used. At least what the machine says they used. I figured since they lived in subarctic conditions it would be a good choice." [/i][/p][p][i]"How do you do that?" [/i][/p][p][i]"Do what?" Skyscream looked at large man beside her with her head tilted to one side as if perplexed. [/i][/p][p][i]"Turn everything into a history lesson." Morpheus almost smiled. Almost. [/i][/p][p][i]"Very funny. Come on, I'll show you my most recent insanity." Skyscream began walking around to the rear of the massive hovercraft with a chuckle. [/i][/p][p][i]"Is he going to be okay?" Morpheus nodded towards Shadowofpain who was staring at him from the entrance to the big ship. [/i][/p][p][i]"Yep. Probably just mad he didn't detect you coming. Or shocked to see one of his heroes." Skyscream grinned as they continued. She noticed that Morpheus kept staring at the Hovercraft suspiciously. "Don't worry. Format is on our side." [/i][/p][p][i]"Good." Morpheus suddenly stopped in his tracks as he walked around the aft of the ship. "Is this a joke?"[/i][/p][p][i] Skyscream began to laugh as she kept walking towards the delicate looking frame of what appeared to be the shell of some kind of winged craft. She ran a hand along the rough edges with a gleam in her eye as if she saw a glorious bird and not a collection of thin metal rods. [/i][/p][p][i] "This is what you wanted to show me?" Morpheus shook his head and smiled a little. He could see her plan. Her vision.[/i][/p][p][i] "Yeah. It's going to be so cool." The gleam had not left Skyscreams eyes. "And I want you to come with me."[/i][/p][p][i] "Sure." A simple word from Morpheus but one that sent Skyscreams heart soaring. "Count me in."[/i][/p][p] [/p][p] Months had passed. Despair seemed to lurk in every corner. No longer was she an outcast. Her Nomad ways of the past had changed in the last year. She had dug in her heels both in Zion and on the surface. The last order they had from ... him ... was to defend Zion. So they had returned and pledged themselves to keeping the last free city alive. But there was always a little time for fun.[/p][p] Skyscream scowled at the simple controls before her. No computers. No machines. Simple. A stick and two pedals for her feet. Pitch and yaw. Darkness clawed at her vision. It was always dark on the surface. The clouds made sure of that. The seat beside her was empty. It would remain that way. Morpheus was not coming. She knew that a long time ago. Most people assumed he was dead .. but she was an optimist at heart underneath a healthy dose of cynicism.[/p][p] Skyscream closed her eyes and spoke into the little mic attached to the headset she was wearing.[/p][p]"Yeah. I think I'm ready. Go ahead Format."[/p][p] In front of her the darkness was suddenly cut apart by the monstrous hovercraft outside her windscreen powering up it's pads and lifting from the ground. Off to the left Machine city could be seen poking over the horizon. The rope between the large hovercraft and her much smaller and delicate craft became tight as the big machine edged forward. Then scraping of earth on metal made her wince as the little craft she was in lurched forward with a sudden jolt. She looked out the side to her left and saw the long wing stretching out away from her. It flexed slightly as it dipped and touched the earth before the air began to take hold and lift it up. The pads of the hovercraft before her glowed brightly as the little craft she was in began to slowly lift into the air.[/p][p] Sound seemed to stop as she began to rise into the air. A small smile played across her lips as her hands held the stick steady between her legs and she was pushed back into her seat by the sudden acceleration of the Format C in front of her. She struggled to keep the craft level with an easy but firm touch. Faster and faster the ground below streaked by and the sound of the wind became deafening. Skyscream glanced to the right. The wing on that side was beginning to flap from the stresses of the wind trying to rip them off. Her welds held though as the entire craft began to shake and rattle. She reached out as her little hand crafted ship was tossed around on the end of it's tether like a hummingbird in a windstorm. She pawed at the only other control in the craft twice before she finally managed to hit the small lever.[/p][p] The rope from ship to ship dropped away from the front of the silvery glider as it suddenly pulled up gently and soared high into the air. Below the hovercraft Format C began to slow it's velocity as the little engineless plane soared up towards the clouds.[/p][p]One last transmission came through to the hovercraft before the little silver bird disappeared into the dark, lightning filled, clouds.[/p][p]"Whoo hoo baby! I'm gonna see the Stars!"[/p][p]
The darkness was ripped apart by lightning as it arced to the ship and then carried on it's quick course. Sparkles filled her vision in it's wake and she could smell the rubber lining in the cockpit as if it were burning slightly from the heat of the electrons ripping through the metal frame. Turbulance tossed the little plane around as Skyscream struggled to retain control. She had some refinements to make when she landed. Hopefully in one piece. She wasn't sure if she was level anymore. Or what her angle was in relation to the earth. It felt right but with no horizon she couldn't be sure. Then the idea dawned on her to bring an old style carpenters level next time. Water and an air bubble. Simple. The clouds seemed to go on forever. Darkness filled by more darkness. Then it was darkness filled by grey. Then suddenly she was free. She could see a horizon on top of the clouds. [/p][p]She could see the top of the clouds![/p][p] Her eyes were wide with amazement as she stared at the points of light above the darkness that marked the clouds. Her mind couldn't grasp how many there were. It was beyond counting. She almost forgot to level out the plane. She looked around with awe from her seat. To her left the stars were being replaced by a pale blueness. She slowly edged the little silver bird around carefully, doing everything she could to not lose velocity, until she was facing it. Time seemed to stand still but in reality it was minutes. Then it began.[/p][p]The sun began to rise.[/p][p]It was beautiful to behold.[/p][p]As the plane began to sink slowly back to the earth she could not take her eyes off what was before her. And as if someone put the idea fully formed into her head a vision formed of a possibility as she sank back into the darkness of the earth. She laughed as she watched the glorious sun disappear behind humanities and machines folly.[/p][p]
It was something that she would do. Somehow. Someway.[/p][p]Just like when she declared she would see the stars ...[/p][p]She would build a castle above the clouds.[/p][p]Her minds eye was filled with the vision of it as the dark clouds embraced her once more. She did not really see the lightning arcing to and from her little plane although her hand guided the craft steadily. Before long she broke through the bottom of the darkness to enter the world again. Her angle of attack was too great. Her velocity was far to much. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as she pulled back on the stick to level the plane out. The wings groaned loudly in protest as the little craft began to slowly level out. To late though. The last thing she remembered clearly was metal grinding into earth.[/p][p]Pain.[/p][p]Darkness.[/p][p]Then a dim light.[/p][p]Skyscream stared at the wreckage around her as she touched her ribs. Pain streaked back and forth across her vision. The landing had not gone well ... but it was a landing. She would have to practice that. And have Format level out a very long flat chunk of earth to land on.[/p][p]"Are you okay?" Her first mates voice suddenly erupted above her. Shadowofpains look of concern as he stared down at her made her smile. "Yo... Stop grinning like an idiot and answer me. Any bones broken?"[/p][p]"Yeah.. uh .. no.. nothing broken." She realized the mic was around her neck and adjusted the headset to sit properly. She had to bend the mic back into place even though in one corner of her mind she knew it didn't work anymore.. The world seemed to tilt at odd angles for some reason. "Yeah... I think I'm actually in one piece. Just a bit roughed up from the landing."[/p][p]"You are clearly one of the craziest people I've ever met." Shadowofpain laughed a little. "Calling that a landing ..."[/p][p]"Oh, dig up everything you can on the bouyancy of gasses in our atmosphere." Skyscream started to try to crawl out of the mangled plane. She was in surprisingly little pain and felt this was a landing she was going to walk away from in pretty much one piece. "And we'll need to salvage what we can from the wreckage of the Starbird. Before starting on the next model." [/p][p]"Is that everything?"[/p][p]"No." Skyscream looked up at the darkness above. "I need a carpenters level."[/p]

[p][i]"I'm" clang[/i][/p][p][i]"a working" clang [/i][/p][p][i]"on the" clang [/i][/p][p][i]"railroad." clang [/i][/p][p][i]"All" clang [/i][/p][p][i]"the live long" clang [/i][/p][p][i]"day." clang [/i][/p][p][i]"Hello Skyscream."

Shadowofpains look of concern as he stared down at her made her smile. "Yo... Stop grinning like an idiot and answer me. Any bones broken?"[/p][p]"Yeah.. uh .. no.. nothing broken." She realized the mic was around her neck and adjusted the headset to sit properly. She had to bend the mic back into place even though in one corner of her mind she knew it didn't work anymore.. The world seemed to tilt at odd angles for some reason. "Yeah... I think I'm actually in one piece. Just a bit roughed up from the landing."[/p][p]"You are clearly one of the craziest people I've ever met." Shadowofpain laughed a little. "Calling that a landing ..."[/p][p]"Oh, dig up everything you can on the bouyancy of gasses in our atmosphere." Skyscream started to try to crawl out of the mangled plane. She was in surprisingly little pain and felt this was a landing she was going to walk away from in pretty much one piece. "And we'll need to salvage what we can from the wreckage of the Starbird. Before starting on the next model." [/p][p]"Is that everything?"[/p][p]"No." Skyscream looked up at the darkness above. "I need a carpenters level."[/p]

Had some time on my hands so I took some of the old game trailers and applied a re-edit to make one new trailer with a remix of the soundtrack.

I called it The Matrix Online 2.0.

Low quality version available for easy viewing at Skyscream Studios.

((Sorry about the somewhat loud beginning. hehe. Thought I would get that out of the way now.))

SMILEY

Totally forgot to tell folks on my fave server that Skyscream Theatre has moved to a new location. New commercial, new direction, new name, new logo.

Welcome to ...

SMILEY

Whoo Hoo!!!!

The little faction that could!

SMILEY
I think I can ... I think I can ...

I can hardly believe it. A few of the former members of the now defunct faction The Vital Element decided to reform under a new name. Who would have thought we'd still be here a year later? Especially after the "death" of Morpheus we kinda lost our purpose. Or so it seemed at first.

Then of course our little faction that could from Linenoise got tossed into an asylum with the rest of you nuts. I think it's called Syntax or something. SMILEY

Well. Here we are. A year later. And somehow still following Morpheus despite all odds. Can't remember the exact date of founding. Not really worried about it. But I finished editting the very first faction movie tomorrow ... one year ago. Which is a short while after we formed.

So it's been a year. Why should you care?

Glad you asked. SMILEY

In honour of this occasion ... hehe .. I've put a bunch of movies up on youtube.com for your viewing pleasure. The very first faction movie... the current faction movie... Fists of Code... a couple remixes of the cinematics... Before the Dawn... After the Sunset pt1: The Lost Prophet... and couple others with just me in them. SMILEY

Nine ... yes NINE movies to watch.

No long dowloads.

Just click and watch.

You will find over 51 minutes of viewing pleasure for your redpill mind.

The True Believers ... We're Still Here!

http://www.youtube.com/profile_vide...r=darklight1138

On behalf of the entire Faction I would like to thank you ALL for making this game an enjoyable experience.

For ease of viewing pleasure Skyscream Productions .. no .. wait ... I'm calling it Skyscream Studios this week I think.

What was I saying? Oh yeah. Now I remember.

Fists of Code has just been released on Youtube.com for ease of viewing. No waiting in line anymore ... er .. I mean long downloads.

I'm leaving the full link rather than a fun one in case you want to share with people outside the MxO community as well.

Enjoy!

P.S. Comments at Youtube are certainly welcome. As well as ratings. SMILEY

Funky title eh?

:robotvery-happy:

Okay. I've been using Aikido a lot lately and when I was running the archive missions with the redeye agents I noticed that one of the finishing grab moves is messed up. More than the usual Aikido grab animations being in synch problem.

Hmm. How to explain this. Okay. It's the one where you grab the guy and flip him. Then you cartwheel over him, grab him by the chest(?) and belt or something then flip/throw him again as you come to your feet. Well. I go through all that, the throw, the cartwheel, etc, etc. But the Redeye agent just lays on the ground dead. This is the only grab finisher that seems to have this problem as far as I can tell. I tried it with other mobs and it seems to work fine, although a bit out of synch.

Anyone else or is it just me?

Well. I've been messing around with this site forever until a couple months ago when I decided enough of this mickey mouse stuff. lol.

It looks great to me but I want some outside opinions.

Click Here

Or click TTB fleet info in my signature. :smileywink:

Someday I may even be bothered to get a proper domain name. lol.

There is one button that doesn't revert back to it's normal mode after the mouse-over on the TTB comics page and I am aware of it. Just can't figure out why it won't change back. lol. The image in the factory section that leads to mxo.rumbarr will be changed in the near future to the image requested by Avatrama.

:smileywink:

**HIGH BANDWIDTH WARNING**

.mp3, .pdf, and .wmv files are embedded in the website.

It had to happen.

I am using the rotator system provided by MxOresource.com

MxOresource, now with more scrubbing action for really clean tiles!!

So I made two new sigs. Due to the nature of my signature the height limit is 100 pixels. heh. Complicates things ... I'm tellin' ya. :robotvery-happy:

Any good?

Or should I give up and go back to raising dental floss trees?

:robotvery-happy:

Where did I put those dental floss seeds anyway? Must be around here somewhere ...

I've decided to make a Raijin style post about our national Holiday up here in the Kingdom of Canada. :smileywink:

Whoo hoo. Canada Day. What better day to celebrate the creation of a country as cool as Canada than July 1st eh?

Don't have to deal with snow or ice or freezing your posterior off trying to BBQ. Yeah... Summer rules!

If you can't have fun on Canada day... you are really doing something wrong.

And remember while your knocking back a cold one to raise your glass to that great big village called Canada!!!

A village called village ... Get it? :smileyvery-happy: Ah... nevermind. Guess you have to be canadian and wierd. :smileywink:

Canada Day Origins

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

Source: Wi-wi-wi-wikiwikiwiki-PEDdia

Canada Day celebrates the creation of the dominion of Canada through the British North America Act on July 1, 1867, uniting three British Territories - into a federation.

A proclamation was issued by Governor General Lord Monk, on June 20, 1868, asking that "all Her Majesty's loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1."

The holiday itself was formally established by statute in 1879, and was originally called Dominion Day, making reference to the term "dominion," which was first used to describe a political union within the British Empire for Canada, at a time when the British government was hesitant to adopt the name proposed by the Fathers of Confederation: Kingdom of Canada.

The name was changed to Canada Day on 27 October 1982.

I haven't pulled this rant out of the bag in a while so WHHHEEEEEEE!!!! Here we go.

We've all heard that we can affect the storyline.

Can we?

/shrug

No official mention is made on the website of the fact the Veil was arrested for example. At least not that I've seen. I know 2fist and I busted our butts to win the event for our server .. but ... nothing.

"Toorima escapes..."

Bah.

Appearantly NOTHING before august exists either according to the SOE MxO website ...

I don't care for that very much.

They deactivate the killcode without so much as a "how do you do?" with a one liner about how the assassin is dead and it's not needed anymore. This makes no sense. What did the Killcode have to do with the assassin? Hmm? It didn't even effect him on the rare occasion that I actually ran into him. Didn't affect players either. All it did was give a MINOR debuff to mobs and use the Blind graphic for coolness to my knowledge. Compare that to ... oh ... The Assassins Mask.... for example. Ah. But the Killcode was inconvient. Bunch of people cried because they didn't realize that the item that magically appeared in thier inventory is the killcode in disguise. :smileyindifferent: Maybe that's why? I really don't know. NO explaination has ever been given to me. I've asked a few times too. Perhaps they couldn't wrap thier heads around the Neurophyte question? I know one of my friends was so disappointed in the whole deal that he just .. deleted .. the now useless killcode.

/shrug

They ignore 2fist and everyone else that won the Double Cross event ...

Then quickly nullify that event too.

You would think Veil would recognise the people who helped put her behind bars wouldn't you?

Do you have any idea how disappointed we were when there was no call for retribution? Or even simple recognition for that matter?

Can we actually affect anything at all?

Is it just me?

Or does anyone else feel they are just along for the ride and nothing we do really matters anymore in terms of the story?

:smileywink:

((Bitter? Me? Maybe a little bit. But this isn't a flame directed at the devs or a whine about nothing. These are serious concerns I've had for a long time about "Storyline and Players". I'd mention more recent events but ... Death of the Destroyer was the last Storyline event we had... which was the first since Double Cross pt1 ... :smileyindifferent: ))

This Rebellion has been brought to you by "Caffeine" ... making humans jittery since one first tossed some coffee beans into boiling water.

Just thought I'd post this here as well as the RSI forum since I know not everyone visits both forums. SMILEY

OOC (Just to be clear)

Look. Just because I decide to let my brain run loose in the yard now and then doesn't mean I need people to chase it down and bother other people with it. I say a lot of things. Very rarely am I all that serious. Occasionally I'll even vent my frustrations through words.

But if I have something I want to say to someone...

I'll say it myself.

I lead one of the older factions on this server. I'm perfectly capable of resolving any problems I have all by my lonesome.

I'm not a helpless girl either ... not that I've met many helpless girls in my life ... (about the same number as helpless males. hehe.)

Just to be clear ...

<-------------- Me. 6'2", 190 pounds, ex-junior hockey player, Bronze medalist in Tae Kwon Do, Businessman, and 39 years old.

<--- NOT me. A made up character. No real height or weight. Hasn't accomplished anything real because she ISN'T real.

I can fight my own OOC battles and don't use me in any of yours ...

This never used to be a problem. Not sure what changed.

The only reason I'm saying anything at all in public, OOC or otherwise, is because it's not an isolated incident. I come here to get away from the insanity of the real and not to play office politics in a frakin game.

Stop it.

That's all I have to say about it.

Names will not be named.

Peace out.

I have to make a trip to visit my ailing mother.

I'm leaving tomorrow and I should be back at the end of the month.

My sub will run out while I'm gone but no worries.

*Puts on a leather jacket and some cool shades*

"I'll be back!"

Seriously though, I'm going to miss this place while I'm gone. No internet. *gets the shakes*

But this is important.

See ya at the end of the month!
