Hmm, just as a side note before we all go back to watching this ever intreguing "Canon" debate...the people who constantly spammed area chat with "zomg turn me into *insert model*" obviously didn't realise the only changing Rarebit was going was changing people into things he was dropping hints and questions about that he was thinking of.
 i caught on half way into it, it was hard to see tru all the spam. ignore FTW?

There's a lot that goes on in the code that bluepills simply don't see...just like there's a lot that goes on that even operatives won't bother examining for themselves.

I realize that some people have different attitudes toward movie, comic book, story, and game history than I do. I tend not to put things up on much of a pedestal. They have to stand for themselves on their own merits. What happens to one does not necessarily tar or glorify the others. If you insist on too rigid a structure, it will inevitably fall apart under scrutiny (uh-oh, now I'm cribbing from Ookami). There are many events that I specifically planned in advance as part of the storyline, that in coming around to summarizing the chapter afterwards, I would not mention for one reason or another. On the other hand, there are many events that had no advance planning that I would end up including. But that, again, is my opinion. I happen to have the privilege of being the official game designer, but come on, folks--be your own designers. Everything that happens is a part of your story--keep it or discard it as you see fit. Come up with your own theories to explain how things fit together. I guarantee you that you'll enjoy it more that way.

As the Oracle said to Neo: "You just have to make up your own *CENSORED* mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it."

(That was a test, of course, and if he'd rejected it, he'd have been wrong--and the Oracle would have been wrong about him. Mwahaha! Okay, I'm done now I think.)

EDIT: (Whoops, no I'm not. 'Cause there's really no "wrong" about a position you take, except relative to what other people think, or to what you yourself thought previously, or come to think later. If he'd rejected what the Oracle told him, the Matrix might have been taken over by Smith...but would that really have been so very wrong?)

I'd imagine that it was pre-planned. You have to ask permission for people to show at parties of this scale. Rarebit doesn't always say yes--in fact, I'd imagine he says no more often than not, but he doesn't just 'arrive' out of the blue and make them Live Events.

My thoughts on the matter stand.

I've said many times, the game is what you make of it. You pay your monthly fee and within the rules you accept when you "download" the game, you can do what you want that is fun for you. All this moaning about what others do and how they play the game gets tedious and old!

Why should Rarebit have to explain, over and over in this post what his thinking is?

Play the game in the way that is fun for you! Be that pvp, Role play or a combination thereof. Just give me and everyone else the freedom to play the way that is fun for them!

As to the "Story  line." I've also been heard to talk about doing things in your role play that advance the story line. I'm thinking of the story line of the role play and hoping that it does not get too far outside what the original story line of the game was/is. However, this debate about "canon/ noncanon gets a bit sticky and is it really worth it in the broad scheme of your life to get so uptight about MXO?

Enjoy the game! I do and intend to continue to. When it's no longer fun for me, I'll quit.

Over and out.

Haha! Awesome. Looks like it was a fun party.

I'd live to see Rarebit at a RL party... I'd bet he'd be a blast.

And naming & shaming event disrupters FTW!
