But...another argument for another time.

Ha! Bindi and I were actually talking about this the other day. Mervs seem to act as if they live in plush, marbled castles drinking fine wine and eating filet mignon in the Real. Guess what, guys? You all live just like Zionites do. You're not lounging on silk divans in the Real, sorry. You're in hovercrafts that are likely worse off than Zion hovercrafts, since you don't have a city to refuel and recharge in. The caves you live in are also likely unprotected and in much worse shape than Zion. If you're lucky, you eat goop... other than that, you probably have to scrounge for food which is likely to end up being cockroaches. Until the Merovingian got the General's sentinels, he had no presence in the outside world. So no, you're not chilling out in massive Merovingian outposts. The Merovingian has no such thing. Your comfort and power are only to be enjoyed INSIDE the Matrix, where the Frenchman resides.
Machinists are the only ones likely to have a real outpost and real supplies, with updated hovercrafts and weaponry. As for food... they probably have goop, but I bet the Machines supply them with food as well. And hey, what do Machines use as a food source for humans...? Enjoy your cherry milkshakes, toasters.

Just close your eyes and think of runny eggs!

As a Merovingian, although I'd like to make a pithy remark about Zion cave monkeys, I can't dispute the realities of what you say. So, we spend as much time as possible in the simultion. But when we aren't jacked in, at least we wear shoes. And we wear more than burlap dashikis. You damned hippes.

Mmmm...soylent green.
Personally, I do think the Merovingian has some presence in the real world, although I'm not sure how extensive it would be.

PVP flag will go up around the Government Building on Syntax in about 15 minutes in preparation for the battle.

What's wrong with Outpost Segur and Outpost Styx? I don't think they're that unrealistic... -.-
Congratulations to Syntax's Merovingians!
Allow me to be the fist to say a handful of Merv soldiers took the win against two massive Zergs on Syntax. (I counted... 7-9 Mervs)

Nuts, I just missed it, not that any of my Mervs on Syntax are a decent level to have taken part, but the Provisioner could have been a good distraction by hurling insults and screaming like a girl.

Oh, I'm just teasing Sieges. I actually never thought about your outposts until Archie said "they'd likely eliminate any non-Machinist outpost they found." That makes a lot of sense. An outpost during the war wouldn't last very long. I'd like to know how you keep the Machines and sentinels at bay. I might be interested in using some of that information.
And Villemar, shoes are totally overrated. Burlap is the Versache of the Real! How dare you make fun of our sundresses!
Amazing seesaw battle today on Syntax! The Mervs pulled out the victory with a concentrated ambush on Agent Pace just after a massive CYPH/Machine push had taken down Ghost.
Tue Feb 10 14:29:45 2009 [System] {4}Ghost was just killed by Endomorph.
Tue Feb 10 14:32:29 2009 [System] {5}Agent Pace was just killed by hitmanben.
It was lots of fun Rare, thanks for this!
Judging by the speed these have gone at I'll miss tommorows aswell. ~_~
Yes, was fun! Much <3
Grats to the mervs
