We can make sure of that.
Whether you like me or not, whether you and I have had issues in the past or not, if you've known me at all, then you know the things I've done to try and entertain this community. From the events I've held on Recursion as a member of Pluribus Neo, to the little bit of time I spent as Liaison Officer Zeissman, to Algorithm: Black, to the Turf Wars event series.
I love this place, as much as any of you do.
While I have no love lost for SOE, it honestly does hurt me to know that this place is going to disappear.
And since the announcement was dropped... I've been approached at least a hundred times over, being asked things like "Do you know of an emulator in development?" and "You have to have something up your sleeve... what is it?"
Truth be told, I've had nothing up my sleeve. But I do have an idea...
If you remember the Algorithm: Black event, then you remember that there were a number of ARG-style elements incorporated into it that brought the feeling of The Matrix to your every day life. From anonymous text messages on your cellular phone, to receiving clues in the mail. So here is what I propose:
Project Slumber: An ongoing MxO-based Alternate Reality Game, set to begin after the conclusion of The Matrix Online. It will pick up where the story of MxO leaves off, and it will build upon it, all in a real-life setting. You will play the part of the character you've built here, and you're more than welcome to invite others who are unfamiliar with MxO to participate.
What is it exactly?
You'll have to experience it for yourself to find out.
Can you help out?
Sure, if you're interested. I'll be accepting applications for various positions that I'll be detailing in another post, in this thread, very soon.
How do you participate?
Well, it's an opt-in process, for now. In the future, I hope to build a website, with forums, and so on that will eventually act as a base of operations for the project. I will, in the meantime, be running an IRC channel on the irc.mibbit.net IRC network, where you can hang out and converse with other members, until a full website is available.
Until then, to opt-in as a participant in this project, send an e-mail to [email protected] with the following information:
- Your Full Name (First and Last)
- Your Redpill Name
- Mailing Address
- Cellular Telephone Number
None of the information will be shared with anyone else, and will only be used for the purpose of contacting you, in your participation with ongoing events.
