Saying Chapter 13 suggests a follow on from chapter 12 of the official storyline, whether they actually mean to suggest that their continuance is official or not (many people will not view it as such anyway unless A Dev or Walrus confirms it is).

Besides, another group could bring out their own Chapter 13 and have it play out completely differently. Personally I don't feel that having title and chapter number is absolutely necessary, but thats just me.

Nope, it's me too. It may seem like a trivial complaint, but calling it Chapter 13 was a bad move from the off.

It strikes me as pretentious at the very least.  But, that's the thing about Player Events, ppl can choose or choose not to participate.  But calling it chapter 13 is very facepalmy IMHO.  No Sir, I don't like it.  But whatever floats players boats.  I just wish this thread would be in the Player events section where it belongs because calling it Chapter 13 and keeping it this section is misleading.

I think the best idea for Player Events is to have side stories set in Mega City, kind of like the Animatrix.  There are a lot of great resources available without dipping into the main storyline (whatever that is now).

I congratulate and support any creative efforts to run stories and player events. Especially with sext graphics like those!

However, I agree with everyone else who's said that trying to continue/explore/elaborate upon the canon storyline would be an exercise in futility. Coming up with bunches of great, little Matrix-y storylines across multiple factions and organizations is totally the way to go. Totally

Total Story Renaissance.

(from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere "be born")

I don't think anyone wants to see events like this fail considering that the previous comment someone made about there being nothing else to do is quite true but people's opinions are peoples opinions and without positive and negative feedback from the very audience they are playing to then how will they be able to look at ways to improve their stories, methods etc. in order to improve people's enjoyment if they feel it's necessary?


Truth. I wish I had the time to devote to these player events, but I just don't anymore.

This TSR seems like it is interesting while a bit presumptuous. I agree with the Lesig v3.0 thing, and maybe even overwriting Rarebit's endings. But, since chapter 12 was cut short at 12.1, the written published/implemented, Chapter 13 is fair game. We know it's a PE, so really no blurring of the lines for Dev run or player run.

As harsh as this community is becoming, a player posting info in General can't be placed on the PET fault section. In my experience running PE's, releasing info to a player and then that player releasing info to the community always loses something.

A:B's intro's to events were the best I'd ever seen. Single graphic posted annonymously in the PE boards. It created a buzz and questions. TSR hasn't done it the same way, but at least a buzz is being created.

This TSR sounds interesting and I'll be keeping an eye on this... however, I'm a but skeptical about them, since they've dubbed themselves "LESIG 3.0".

I like how this thread went from a Player event post for this TSR thing to all about A:B. Those people arguing over A:B and LESIG who were whinging about critisism earlier in the thread are derailing it just as much now as they were claiming people were bashing it earlier.

If you're not a part of this PE, which some of you claim not to be, or have nothing further to say about this TSR thing then quit QQing, flaming and driving this thread further off topic. Take it to PM's or start other threads of rage but at least give this group's event a chance and don't fill their thread up with A:B and LESIG crap.

At least when people were posting their concerns or critisism about the advertisment of a chapter number, the pretentious calling of their group LESIG 3.0 or it's placement in general discussion, which may have been a slightly harsh, at least it was actually to do with the impending event and not about previous player events.
