Zion Courier: Failure

**TheSorrows** · 10/01/2008 19:34:21

So, let me get this right.

It's not who Rezzes the ZionCourier first, but who the ZionCourier chooses to be rezzed by?

Successful revival of the courier executed by Skybruin twice, at 18:10:31 and 18:11:42.
Primary objective completed by: Zion and EPN.
Secondary objectives await proof:

First operative to terminate Lanton after 6:10pm City time:
First operative to terminate Bayamos after 6:11pm City time:
First operative to terminate Skybruin after 6:10pm City time:

Secondary objectives remain open until completed.

So was NurseBadTouch on that list at all or was she just in the line of fire? I could of sworn she killed the courier once...

So even Zion's getting rolled on this to now?

Heh.. talk about full service...

Honestly I would have bothered to actually two shot the courier with MKT but to be honest what was the point by the time we got to Stamos?

NurseBadTouch only caught that fast mofo, lanton got the kill shot. then bay did. also that little zion freak was way way way to fast.

Applied revivals overwrite previous revivals. So there is no choice but to accept the last one applied. Attempting to accept a previous revival results in failure.

Granted that's not a perfect situation but keep in mind that reviving itself is not an objective in itself, but a necessary means to achieve the organizations' primary objective.

The personal shout outs given to put a cherry on the top of this bull stamped suggests otherwise Dreami...

It was Lanton who terminated the courier.

Hopefully, next time we will have more of an impact on them.

SkyBruin-ML

In the chaos of the moment, I didn't realize I stepped on your rezzes. sorrows If you got them in before me, I appologize. But the big thing was we got the courier back on his feet.

And can I just say Speed Demon? That guy was hard for his escort to keep up with.

Maybe next time tone down the speed a bit and work in a hand off or multiple drop situation to extend the play time of the event for everyone.

**Dreami**

The next step is to determine what was learned from this operation. I am receiving reports from our spies in Zion that another delivery has already been scheduled. So far there is no indication that Zion or EPN will be relocating their terminals for their next delivery. As soon as I have a confirmation on when the next delivery will be, you will be updated.

In the mean time, please report all information gained from this operation.

Where are the pickup and drop off locations?
What is this operative's neuralkinetic level?
What is his handle?
What load is he using?
What gear is he using?

Any other information that may be of use.

He's fast and he got the job done this time. What else do we know now?

Yeah, that was completely involuntary (me jacking out). I really wanted to help out, but as soon as I jacked in, this is what I saw:

I tried jacking in two more times (after hitting Alt-F4 and then waiting a couple minutes), but I kept getting the same result.

I think the organizers of this learned a lot today and hopefully will take this knowledge and change a few things to make the next one much better.

I put a lot of work into getting EPN involved with this event and it is really frustrating when the organizers don't communicate with each other and the event is over before our liaison even gives us the destination of where EPN is suppose to be waiting.

I am thankful that there will be another courier escort. I think this has a lot of potential but just needs some changes.

I would rather consider this event a forfeit than a Zion/EPN win because the Cypherites never had a legitimate chance at stopping him.

I feel sorry for wasted steak. /do-over

Yeah imagine how we felt. We didn't even have a Liason or anyone to tell us whats up. Honestly what little we did do during this event was the result of simply getting in a team and tracking them down as soon as they logged on.

Even I dont know how you counteract the next one. We had seven people online "You would have seen them all if it wasn't over so quickly and people just started logging out of disgust". And we didnt even do anything.

Now yeah we can RP this off all we want everyone but the fact of the matter is Zion or EPN on their own could out number us easily any given day. I had a team of some of the most skilled people I have ever played this game with and no amount of RP cunning or wishful thinking is going to make this a realisticly competitive event for a group of 10 let alone 7.

I hope this is taken into consideration because if all were expected to do is come back week after week and get thrown into a small room with 15 Zionites than hear a Courier talk them up like their Gods greatest gift to The Matrix than this entire thing may as well be done with spawn tools. I mean I usually find these smaller events very fun but this one just felt from an outside perspective like it was the event planners idea for Zion to either win this from the start or that they had no intention of grasping the realities that we are a small organization and that it's hard to really be competitive against 15 people when you dont even have a Liason jacked in to coordinate movements.

well, that sucks, i swear i got the killer....oh well....but ya....it would of been nice if a Zion liaison was actually there to represent us...I am still fond of the fact that Zion players on Vector should be the liaisons...more would get done that way...
