The Elite Commandos in the construct are linked to individual Sentinels in the Real. The Merovingian had warned the General to stay in designated areas and otherwise obey orders, or there would be consequences. It seems to me that the Effectuator reached into the chest of an Elite Commando and stopped his heart, thus "killing" the Sentinel in the Real. An example to the General to stay loyal, I'm sure. The thumbs' up is merely the subordinate reporting a mission accomplished back to his superior. The Merovingian's interest in power sources points to his plans to expand his influences in the Real. Our engineers are working on ways for Holographics to distinguish between Machine Sentinels and Merv Sentinels, but for now we are assuming that the ones that run from a firefight are the Merv's and the ones that keep coming are the Machines'. In a way the General did us all a favor by tearing the Machines' Sentinel army down to the manageable size it is now. The small pockets of Sentinels on patrol haven't kept us from establishing secure broadcast positions. The Rocket Propelled Grenade EMPs are working very well... the squiddies scatter when we fire them and, although the EMP blast range is small due to the limited power supply on board the RPG-EMP, the speed at which the shock wave advances usually catches a few and downs them. The advantage of a ranged EMP blast is that our own systems are not affected. I'm glad we took advantage of the peace time to prepare for war, otherwise we would have been stranded every time we had to resort to blowing an EMP. Thanks to the research necessary for powering the EMP defenses of New Zion, the RPG EMPs are a success. (((As for the rest, please use Xfire or the other IMs to call in troops who aren't already jacked in when we are needed to sway the outcome with numbers. Also, as I've plead before, during Live Events: stay in character, role-play and say relevant and/or dramatic things, or .... be quiet. Ruining events for everyone else is the height of juvenile behavior; quit it.))) "Combined with a form of fusion, the machines had found all the power they would ever need..." This is a very old discussion. Do the machines (mechanicals, not redpills) even need human-generated power at all or are they just being efficient by not letting it go to waste? "You won't let it happen. You can't. You need humans to survive." "There are levels of survival we are willing to accept." Why then keep nearly 8 billion in the pods? What's the real reason the machines need humans and seemingly need to control us? Ponder...
I think I put about five people on /ignore on both characters, which is probably some kind of record.
Not so much the spam annoyed the heck out of me, but the Machinist who kept coming in and turning off the lights in the room. It's one thing to verbally disrupt a live event, but to VISUALLY disrupt a live event is beyond belief. My jaw dropped. If I were Rarebit I'd 86 that mofo so fast it would have made his head spin. I mean, if it were up to me, you do that, you eff with my live events, and you are pretty much banned from the game. You're outta here.
God these are times when I wish this was a hostile server. That *CENSORED* would have been on so many KOS lists his mind would reel.
((On edit: I suppose it isn't too late to send in a /ccr.))
