Hey Othinn, I noticed while reading some of your older logfiles that you keep whispering yourself with random letters/numbers. Why do you do that?

   I do that in the hope that I'll avoid timing out while standing around and doing nothing.  I do that in chat rooms for the same reason.  I usually sent tells to myself if I'm dancing, sitting, or doing something that doesn't allow me to use emotes.  If you watch me carefully during an event, every so often you'll see me doing emotes that don't spam the system window, like /talk2, /overheat, /touchearpiece, and /ballet, for the same reason.

   Not sure if it's actually doing any good, but I'd prefer that the game didn't disconnect me for any reason.  Disconnecting puts irreparable holes in my logs.

   It also helps if I'm unsure of my connection's status.  If I don't get a whisper back, or if an emote doesn't work, then that might mean that my connection is dead.  Which is another thing a logger doesn't want.

   10/14/07 - Uploaded my 8.2 transcripts.

   Whew!  Finally, I'm caught up.  I've got more stuff I'd like to add, like more Character Details, post-truce changes in the beginning missions, and so on.  But I wanted to get this bulk out of the way first.

   10/24/07 - Uploaded Agent Skinner's and the Merovingian's calls to battle that occurred towards the end of "The Race to Find The One".

   I have a larger update planned for later, but I just had to update the site for this, because I personally find this to be very exciting. ^-^

   The Wikipedia storyline summary for "The Race to Find The One" event says that Niobe sent a message to the players telling them to fight the lightning Agents.  This is somewhat incorrect.  Each organization received there own message.  For some time now, I've known that the Merovingian version of this message could be found on SuperJenius' site.  Major props to him for saving that. ^-^

   Every so often, I use text and image search engines to find more dialogue and details to put on my site.  A short time ago I was doing just that when I stumbled upon the Flickr account of a player named "godofcheese".  He probably hasn't played in a very long time.  But as I paged through his screenshots, I was extremely surprised to find the Machine version of the "call to battle" message.

   I just had to update my site with this.  I honestly never thought I'd find all three messages.  It's really exciting. ^-^

   Anyway, now that that's out of the way ...

   Agent Skinner calls upon the Machinist operatives to fight against the lightning Agents.

   The Merovingian calls upon his operatives to fight against the lightning Agents.

   The Zion version of the message has been on my site since the beginning.  Also, I hope this helps people to understand that I'll gladly type up a copy of a transcript if you have all (or at least most) of it in screenshot form.

   Okay, I'll stop geeking out now. SMILEY

   10/27/07 - Updated the "Character Details", "Item Details", and "Miscellaneous Documents" sections.

   The biggest update here is in the Character Details section.  I decided to add Exile gang member Details.  Note that many of them are blank.  These represent the "lost" ranks of the Richland and Westview gangs.  At one point I did have all of these documented, but when the reflow occurred and many ranks were removed, I stupidly decided that these ranks were no longer canon and tossed the screenshots.  I normally don't throw stuff away, and I'm still kicking myself over this stupid decision of mine. -_-

   I was able to recover all nine Blackwood ranks due to the fact that the "lost" ranks have appeared recently as event spawns, mission NPCs, data mining spawns, etc.  Demon Army Yurei and Demon Army Tengu (which no longer appear in-game as far as I know) are there because, at one point after the reflow, they still appeared on a single rooftop in far northeastern Tabor Park.

   I firmly recall a fansite devoted to the Disciples gang that had all nine ranks on it.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it. -_-  If anyone knows where I can find it, please inform me.

   There's also the possibility that some of the "lost" ranks aren't really lost, and I simply missed them.  If you find a rank in-game that isn't on the site, feel free to mention it.

   I realize that the ranks aren't in any specific order, and that they only go up to around the middle of Downtown.  The order you see on the site is mostly the same order my screenshots are in, which I took whenever I found a rank.  And so far I've only documented up to the middle of Downtown.  Someday I'll get around to putting the ranks in order, and getting the rest of the gangs up there.

   Anyway, I'll be checking my old bug report files for any of the "lost" ranks.  Keep in mind that Rarebit sometimes spawns "lost rank NPCs" during events, or they may appear in missions or while data mining.  So keep an eye out for them.  If you have the Details of any of the "lost" ranks, or know where I can find them, I'd highly appreciate it if you told me.

   11/20/07 - Uploaded my 8.3 transcripts, plus some transcripts for the "Special Events" section.


   Next, I'll update the Character and Item Details section.  And at some point I'm going to add the "post-truce" changes to the Unarchived Missions section.  I've gone through them all, so all I have to do is add a new section to the missions that are already there.  Plus, I was able to grab the dialogue I missed on the Merovingian mission, "Digital Disturbance". ^-^

   12/01/07 - Updated the "Character Details", "Item Details", and "Miscellaneous Documents" sections.

   You may notice that my Character Details section has increased in size.  I've decided to add blank entries for many of the live event and LESIG characters that I don't have the details for, so there are a large number of empty spaces now.  I did this to help show what I do and don't have.  If you have the details for an entry that is blank on the site, then feel free to donate the information you have. 

   This is by no means a complete list of the characters that have shown up over the course of the story.  At some point, I'm going to have to page through the various event recaps and get the ones I don't have.  Oh, and there are some new details in there amongst all the blank entries.

   Special thanks to an old MxO website I found (I forgot the name and I can't seem to find it again, oddly), where I discovered a couple of the details for the "lost ranks" of the Exile gangs in Richland and Westview.  Thanks to that site, the archive now has the details for all of the Bells gang, along with miscellaneous other ranks.

   And special thanks to Rarebit, for spawning some of the "lost ranks" in recent events.

   I really should get around to the "post-truce changes" that I will add to the entries in the "Unarchived Missions" section.  I've done all the introduction and seduction missions, so all I have to do is go through them and add the changes.  Plus, I've retrieved the dialogue I missed in "Digital Disturbance", so I should remove the "can you help me with this mission" entry directly below it.

   4/16/08 - I've separated the "Character Details", "Item Details", "Miscellaneous Documents", and "NPC Dialogue" sections into smaller sections so they're not just giant pages. There are a number of updates in these new sections, too.

Doesn't this awesome MxO archive of almost everything tick all the boxes to be in the 'Community News' section?

In fact on my list it's ticked all the boxes bar the one about actually being in the Community News Section...

   9/23/08 - Finally got around to updating the site. I've added logs to chapters 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. I've also updated the Character and Item Details sections, along the the "NPC Dialogue" and "Miscellaneous Documents" sections. I hope this is the first of many updates as I catch up with things.


   Sorry this took so long, everyone.  I've been very busy. SMILEY
