I've noticed that they seldom mention which players went that extra distance in an event anymore. Sometimes they'll say something like "a special thanks goes out to ________ for ________ the _________ just in the nick of time" but I don't think I've seen that in a while. A shame really, because when a commander or LE character mentions you personally, it feels like, or at least for me it does, that you've really become part of the games story.
Meh...they don't do it a *lot*, but, they do it in some cases.

I mean, I think it'd be a bit cooler if the recaps were a bit in-depth, as to give credit and more storyline immersion to the players involved. Such as: "The children put up quite a little fight, Crusaders accompanied by the Holy Warriors E Zion as well as Havocidee. Thankfully, our people were able to stop them; our wonderful Ebola was able to disarm one of the toddler's nasty devices and the Machinists NightTrace and Mobu proved to be quite useful as well when they disarmed the others."

So then I guess sence it sounds like Morpheus and looks like Morpheus it must be Morpheus? Sorta flawed logic concidering the world it all takes place in wouldn't you say.

No.  You're comparing apples to a poorly produced hologram of an orange that was thrown out a long time ago.

Nah its principle Miss Haigen. A clock ticks like a bomb, though it never seems to explode.

To be honest, i could'nt care less. A Cypherite is a Cypherite and thats that. Regardless its been amended. Thanks for letting me know.

Granted, but generalizations aren't going to help us. In the end they are people just like we are. Even Neo treated enemies as equals. Machine, Cypherite, or otherwise, heh.

Perhaps i agree, being equal is a good thing...so when they treat me as an equal as with the rest of EPN, they will receive the same treatment. Untill then nothing.

And your comparing a intel gathering device with an explosive. As you said apples and oranges but the analogy still fits.

I treat all of my enemys with the same lack of respect they show towards the things I hold dear. Human life, the Truce, every day that I jack in, I find myself gritting my teeth, fighting through the same hordes of unthinking crude would be soldiers.

EPN, Cypherites, Mervs [Exile and Human operatives], and even many who claim to be the proud sons and daughters of Zion. They are all only another obsticle that must be overcome.

A bomb vs a CPD? A bomb is inheriently more directly dangerous to the blues. A CPD more so towards the system. I've said it before, a CPD is only a delivery system. So far, EPN has only used CPDs to launch crude info gathering operations. A few data paths get ripped apart, they could care less. However that is an act of hostility, and will be treated as such. I am not saying your wish to see a dead mans message is on the same direct danger level of a code bomb, but I will let you know now and forver, that either one will result in me taking up arms against you.

Not every member of EPN is a total moron, despite what I might say about them, sooner or later their use of CPDs to try and gather information will change, and the CPDs will be used as the delivery platforms for more weaponized coding.

That is why their usage will be stomped out now, before they get any "bright ideas"

Oh, but NightTrace, not everyone is as quick as you to jump to the conclusion of massive weapons delivery.  I promise you, it is that exact line of thought...  "preventative measures via overkill" that started this war in the first place, when the first massive agressions were launched against the Machines by mankind in "self-defense, before they got any 'bright ideas.'"

Somehow I thought you were smarter than that.  Remember, if you destroy a nation, that nation will never rise against you...  but if your own nation encounters a plague, the nation you destroyed may have had the vaccine.

For Neo,
Zeissman

Pyraci, man, I thought you'd know by now: EPN deals mostly in generalisations. Infact, they're pretty much based on a stereotype, so you might find that your calls fall on deaf ears.

A clock may tick but its not designed to detonate, like an explosive.  Despite the clear difference in target, Code Bombs and Code Pulse Devices share the same principle of systemic disruption.  You can call it an apple pie if you wish to but I still consider it very much of a bomb.

The same applies to these convenient broadcasts that have been uncovered.  You may see a hero looking for help, whereas I only see a ruse.

 

Sweet dreams,
Haigen

If I may jump in here, wasn't it stated not that long ago that the CPDs were actually just slightly altered versions of code pulse bombs?  And I believe we've had this debate too many times before *sigh*

Oh yeah I'm sorry. I forgot that after what, five or six months that we have been useing these things that there have just be so many cases where they have torn the system to shreads and done so much damage to it. Alas I can't seem to find any notes on that so if you could please direct me to somewhere that I can find this mountiain of evidence that CPDs hurt the system I would be in your debt.

But ya have to wonder now. If these things are so bad why are the Machines useing them in there own playground?
