More reasons to wish I had enough space to fit a mainframe big enough to handle the Matrix feed on this rinky-dink ship... The conversation between the sim and Mon Seigneur le Merovingien is fascinating... I wonder if there's something wrong with it's programming, if it has no idea how the fusion process works.

((OOC: the way the dialouge was worded has me concerned. It tastes of the "Matrix-within-a-Matrix" theory, which really doesn't jive with the series. The only time something like that worked, IMNSHO, was in David Cronenberg's "eXistenZ". Pulling something like this would be a worse bait and switch than the Machines baiting-and-switching the Cypherites. Please don't think I'm bashing the event, though: It's just raised some red flags, and I could just be jumping at nothing. We'll see where this goes))

((Editted to add: Whee! 800 posts!))

Oh really? I wasn't going to say anything here so as not to take away from this event, so I posted it else where. But yeah I noticed that too.

You know, this still fits with a theory I voiced at an earlier event on Syntax.  Seems to me the General captured Morpheus on his way to 01 and has been keeping him prisoner all this time.  He used him to create that Sim but for whatever reason did not program the Sim with all of Morpheus' knowledge.  Maybe there wasn't enough memory space, maybe Morpheus resisted interrogation but either way I can't think who else this might be:



In any case, I love how a lot of things have been explained to us lately and I especially love how the explanations only ever raise new questions.

I have just gotten confirmation that the Merovingian is indeed on the right trail.

Explain, please.  I am curious to know why the Merv. doesn't believe that humans are used to power the machines and the simulation.

I highly recommend you do the new crit if you have a Merv alt.  Its very interesting.

(( Woah. I get the feeling this is leading up to a major revelation. I doubt it's the Matrix-within-a-Matrix concept, though; there are other explanations.

Heh, and Effy made me laugh again even without saying anything.

Incidentally, the dude in the room with the screen from the cinematic had better not be Morpheus. That doesn't look like his head. Looks more like Neo's to me, but time will tell. ))

Why the interest in the real now Merovingian?  Is the man in the picture Morpheus?  Neo?  or... The Assassin?


SOOOO Many questions.....   ((Head swells to the brink of explosion!))

 (((Since Gitano (evil overlord of all spelling mistakes) has already posted twice on this thread, I realise I have likely made a mistake. But here goes anyway...

 

 Merovingian: "......I hope they proove...fruitful."

Proove? Is that an American spelling which I am not familiar with?

May be this is meant to signify the Merv's particular dialect, or was that a typo from the god-like Rarebit? ))

No, no, I refuse to believe that Rarebit made an error!

...you're no longer perfect in my eyes, Rare. :O

Actually, in a vain attempt to avoid such titles as 'evil overlord of all spelling mistakes', I deliberately didn't point that out.  Oh well.

Rare, Nooooooo!!!!!

I gave you the "out"! It was already set up for you: All you had to do was grab the branch!

Still, I'm glad that we can all be human. Let's all grow from this experience. SMILEY

This was one of my favorite events, and I had no part in it beyond sitting near a wall and listening to two great characters discuss things. Great job Rare SMILEY
