<title>LESIG 2.0 sign-up complete</title>
<description>The LESIG 2.0 sign-up is complete. Minutes ago I finished sending invitations out via forum PMs to the thirty-one players whose applications were accepted to fill out our liaison ranks. These acceptance PMs are from &amp;quot;Rarebit,&amp;quot; and their title begins with &amp;quot;LESIG&amp;quot; in capital letters.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Because only thirty-one positions were available, this means I have about two hundred other, very disappointed applicants who now hate my guts. These fine and wonderful people are asking themselves in what way they were undeserving of LESIG membership, and what kind of justice we call it that we were not able to accept their applications.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; All I can say to these people is that it was not just, it was not fair, and acceptance or non-acceptance is not a measure of how grateful the Matrix Online team is for all the time, sweat, joy and tears that you have put into this crazy simulated world of ours, and for all the help and encouragement you have given to your fellow players. I had very specific, somewhat arbitrary criteria by which the applications were weighed over many rounds of elimination. Very difficult choices had to be made, because while I very much wish we could take on all those really wishing to help out, I can only handle thirty-one more of you right now.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In addition to the thirty-one that have been invited, nineteen other applications survived the elimination rounds. We will send individual invitations to these nineteen--who do not yet know who they are--to fill vacancies in our liaison ranks as positions open up down the road.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Once that reserve group of nineteen begins to run low, we will hold a third LESIG sign-up, to which I invite all those who have not been invited by that time to re-apply.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Please bear in mind that LESIG members are not permitted to announce their membership publicly, that discussion of specific LESIG player identities is not permitted in these forums, or in in-game chat, and that such activities should be reported through the usual channels of forum moderators or game CSRs. Any reports of abuses or leaks by LESIG members should be sent to me via forum PM.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; It was very touching to see the incredible amount of enthusiasm shown for the game in the hundreds of applications that I read over and over since this last sign-up began. I can only hope that all those of you who we were not yet able to invite into LESIG will take that energy and enthusiasm and employ it in your role as a Matrix Online operative. I hope that you will work with and support the new liaisons who will shortly be popping up on all servers--we will have three liaisons per organization per server, for a total of forty-five officers--because without operatives, a liaison is nothing. They are there to help bring you in to the story of the Matrix.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I think we&amp;#39;re all in for a pretty fun time of it.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; </description>
