itachi-san Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 My apologies for the lack of posting (though there's not much to go on and what I was thinking was all said already - mainly ST being good and IDNE being the Merovingian). I'm on vacation right now and for the rest of the week. If this is casual and I can log in about once a day, then I'm good to go, but if SD and LIS want more participation, I probably should be reluctantly replaced. I'm sorry for grasping at straws. I'm hoping we can squeeze more information from the night two post. I was only trying to point out that there was a tie vote and yet the hosts made no mention of it (indeed they don't even have to, the numbers could have come up against reaymond and that was that), which leads me to suspect a weighted vote. It's also quite possible that agent Brown just picked a person to not have their vote counted for no other reason then it will get people pointing fingers at each other. I agree with SG. Proceed with caution. Now where's that night post? Humorously, my first thought was that reaymond got the bad luck and then the good luck (from the Oracle), but I think there would have been a mention in Day Post of a tie, so yea, I think some weighting was in play. Can't hurt to ask: If there is a tie-vote (with or without hidden vote counts), will the Day Post mention that 2 people were sent to be deleted or will it only mention the unlucky one? And 2 questions about the Architect: 1) Does he have a weighted vote? I saw someone mention this, but missed in the conversation where that was deduced 2) When he uses a technique from another program, will the night post say the Architect is doing it or will it say the stolen/deleted player is doing it? p.s. I'll be back on tomorrow.... too bad I miss the night post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 No itachi, you are a good player, and fun to boot! I think many of us get online 1 time a day. That was me this w/e. But one Big question...where did you get that IDNE was the Merovigan? I dont have that on my spreadsheet...But, as I do respect your judgement and playing ability, I will look for a tid bit of info that leads me to the same conclusion.

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Night 2: Terrible Twos Apoc sat at the helm of the Nebuchadnezzar punching in the coordinates to his destination. Within minutes he was silently hovering his ship over andromeda’s house. With a few more keystrokes, Apoc had hacked the land line. andromeda’s phone rang. “Hello?” “Hello andro, this is Apoc. I’ve been looking for you. Now we can do this one of two ways: (A) I can land this ship in the street and you can come aboard in a civilized manner; or (B) I can crash my grappling claw through the top of your roof and snatch you out of your seat. It’d be more fun for me to use the claw, but it’d make an awful mess of your house. andro sighed, hung up the phone, and reached for her jacket. As she was being escorted to the ship’s holding cells, she recognized a familiar face. “Hey andro!” shouted Impervious from his cell. “Ha, ha…Looks like they nabbed you too.” In a quiet library of a Canadian suburb, the hacker known as Artificial I was enjoying his usual fare. He loved making a mess of cyberspace, if only to watch less techno-savvy n00bs scramble to boot him from their networks. He enjoyed it so much in fact that it had built him a rap-sheet with authorities worldwide. “AI, we know you’re in there! Come out with your hands up!” The police had the building surrounded and were preparing to breach. AI smiled. He had evaded the police before; this should be a piece of cake. He walked to the window and casually looked out at the sea of squad cars. To his horror, he noticed among them a non-descript black car with suit standing next to it. An Agent! He scrambled to gather his gear and wipe his laptop’s hard drive. He had to get out as quickly as possible. AI ran to a side entrance, one facing away from the main street and burst through the door. Agent Thompson was already waiting on the side, gun drawn. AI never heard the shot that broke through his rib and struck him in the heart. All he saw was his own reflection in Thompson’s dark glasses – then nothing. The Rogue Programs sat at a private booth in the VIP section of an upscale Paris night club. Laser lights and techno music set the entire building abuzz. The Merovingian leaned forward and frowned at his laptop. He had finally devised a program that, when used correctly, would allow him to terminate anyone inside the Matrix. All he had to do was correctly pair the Matrix User with their Role. The Matrix User’s name blinked on the screen. The Merovingian thought for a second then typed A-R-C-H-I-T-E-C-T. He hit enter. The program initiated a cross-matching search. It would take a few minutes to find its target and report back to the Merovingian that his guess was incorrect. In the mean time, the Merovingian turned to Persephone and Twin #2. The club music bumping loud, the Merovingian words were only audible to his wife. She grabbed Twin #2 and together they left the club and walked out into the dark, brisk night. After taking a night to orient himself, the Architect finally adjusted to having been thrust into the Matrix unwillingly. He had bought a penthouse apartment and all the computer hardware and software he would need to rewrite the Matrix from the inside. He had his first target in mind before he even finished connecting the all computer wires; IDoNotExist. Trinity managed to duck the first punch but the second caught her square in the jaw, sending her tumbling backwards. “You’re faster than this, Trinity. Don’t think you are…know you are!” Morpheus pulled down the sleeves of his kimono. “Tank, we’re done with training for today. Thank you.” “If it’s all the same to you Morpheus, I’d like to go into the Matrix for a while. I need to see a friend about something.” Once Morpheus was back on the ship, Trinity made the jump into the Matrix world and headed towards her destination. As she pulled up, she noticed Agent Brown waiting for her. Luckily, Agent Brown didn’t seem interested in fighting. He just looked at Trinity as if to say, “your move”. Trinity thought better of the confrontation and would have to head elsewhere. Trinity slammed her fist on the steering wheel as she drove off, frustrated that an Agent had diverted her action. Tank loaded the disk of medical tools into his computer as fast as he could. Time was not on his side. Swinging his chair from keyboard to keyboard, Tank worked tirelessly to locate Artificial I in the Matrix while preparing all the tools he would need. Tank was a better doctor than even he could have guessed. Artificial I gasped a ghostly breath as the color flooded back to his pale face. The wound in his chest was gone. Only his bloody shirt and the soaked pavement would hint at the attack he had suffered. AI rose to his feet, concealed his bloody shirt under his jacket, grabbed his backpack and kept a low profile on his way home. He’d think twice about hacking in public again. IDoNotExist fell to his knees and grabbed the sides of his head, yelling in pain. He felt as if his brain was on fire inside his skull and was trying to burst out off his temples. The Architect was rewriting his code from somewhere inside the Matrix. The fire spread from behind IDNE’s eyes and down his spine. The pain riddled his body, sending him into spasms. Trinity, still fuming about her recent encounter, almost didn’t see IDNE in the middle of the street as she swerved to avoid hitting him. She slammed on her brakes, causing the car to skid to a stop. She jumped out and rushed to IDNE’s side. “What’s happening to me?!” IDNE screamed. “We’ve got to get you out of here fast! Tank, I need an exit!” Before IDNE could make sense of what was happening, the pain subsided and was replaced with a blinding white light. When he could finally see through squinted eyes, he noticed he was no longer in the Matrix. “You’ll be fine,” he heard Trinity say, “Just rest and we’ll return you when you’re ready.” She had saved his life. Star Tiger had finished checking into her hotel room and unpacking the clothes she just bought. She was muttering quietly to herself about the damned Agents and why they blew up her house. Her mind preoccupied with the recent attack, Star Tiger barely noticed how hungry she was. She changed, headed to the hotel entrance and had a bellhop hail her a cab. The cab dropped her off a five star restaurant and Star Tiger was seated immediately. Enjoying her dinner and minding her own business, Star Tiger was startled by the request. “Mind if I join you?” The voice belonged to an unusually beautiful woman who introduced herself as Persephone. The two chatted quietly over a lamp-lit table about nothing in particular. Star Tiger was so enthralled with this strange woman that she never noticed the silver-clad man sitting at the bar, watching them intently. When the time was right, Twin #2 walked up behind the distracted Star Tiger, stuck a needle in her neck, and silently walked away. Star Tiger could barely make out Persephone’s last words of good-bye as everything went blurry then black. Her pulse slowed…then stopped. Star Tiger had eaten her last meal.

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sorry for the delay. While I was waiting for the actions from LIS I fell asleep...for like 4 hours. Since the Night 2 post came at 1am EST, I will extend the Day 2 cycle to 36 hours so that it ends at a convenient time for everyone (hopefully). Since it looks like two players are going to be replaced, this will also give the new-comers time to catch up and the existing players plenty of time to contribute. Day 2 will end at 1pm EST or 6pm GMT on Tuesday, March 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I was thinking... (this is a question for the hosts too) Could the baddies target someone and use his action against him?? For example if Zerep is the Merovingian (and I'm not saying that he is) could the baddies take his action and direct it on him (Zerep in this case??) If they have that ability or have that as a secret then yes if they don't then no may be next time/final game we put a spy on secrets If there is a tie-vote (with or without hidden vote counts), will the Day Post mention that 2 people were sent to be deleted or will it only mention the unlucky one? And 2 questions about the Architect: 1) Does he have a weighted vote? I saw someone mention this, but missed in the conversation where that was deduced 2) When he uses a technique from another program, will the night post say the Architect is doing it or will it say the stolen/deleted player is doing it? p.s. I'll be back on tomorrow.... too bad I miss the night post. I am sure you input will not be just a vote or a minor post - we go with it for now 1 - I have given vote rigging but won't say to who or how, I will say that vote riging took place Day 1, so ties and near misses may not give the result people want/expect. A tie will be a coin toss 2 - The Architcect has the ability after targeting, so it's written as the Architect's ability. To the host! So how long do I stay inside the Neb?? Since we are both inside the Neb... I was wondering can I have some *censored* time with Impervious?? you are only in at Night - playtime over! And I hope one of you had protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 If they have that ability or have that as a secret then yes if they don't then no may be next time/final game we put a spy on secrets So you are saying that Thompson could have redirected an action against the person he targeted?? In that case Zerep might be the Merovingian?? you are only in at Night - playtime over! And I hope one of you had protection Apoc I hope you got some useful information! If you managed to find out at least one of our roles it's super! Since it's 5/6 chance I think you did! Too bad that ST is gone... we should have trusted her. I'm not sure how to vote just yet, I'm gonna have to read the night post couple of more times and I don't have the time right now, so I'll vote in 7-ish hours!

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Anyone else noticed that Smith didnt move untill now? Or he is without luck, or were stoped (dead? ST?

Well, if ST was the Cypher, we know she wasn't a spy for the agents, meaning she was a goodie, so.. I'm kinda thinking ST was someone more important, and the Agents and Rouges both somehow new about it, hence two attacks on her, and a nearish lynch. Why did everyone want her dead so badly? I think we lose someone important. Or, possibly the Architect, which would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if ST was Cypher then the Agents wouldn't have tried to kill her. Even if she was saving goodies/blocking baddies, she still has a 1 in 3 chance of helping them. Since she was targeted by both baddie factions, though, I think it's save to say she was a freed human/one of the programs helping them. All we can do is hope that she wasn't someone important. As for my vote, I think I need to side with you here, Reaymond. I'm not positive on anything, of course, but I feel like he's either suffering from beginner's misfortune (read: Newbness), or just coming off as a baddie.

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Day 2.1: Secret Day-gent Man Agent Smith casually put his hand to his ear. His ear piece was rapidly transmitting data directly into his brain. The Agent Mainframe had finally RID’d their first target. He stood from his chair, loaded his 0.50 caliber Desert Eagle and slid it into the shoulder holster under his suit jacket. JarZe sat at his favorite Salsa bar enjoying a mid-afternoon margarita. The door to the darkly lit bar opened, spilling sunlight over the dusty floor, and causing most people inside to squint at the silhouette walking through the door. JarZe, however, recognized the stranger right away. The first gunshot whistled past the barman and would have hit JarZe square in the temple had he not pushed himself backwards and rolled out of the way. The bullet struck the wall behind him, splintering the decorative wooden panel. JarZe leapt to his feet and rushed at Agent Smith, knocking the gun from his hands. At the same time, JarZe landed two solid body shots and a strong right cross that sent Smith’s glasses flying from his face. Smith countered with heavy uppercut that lifted JarZe right off his feet followed by a vicious kick to the chest. JarZe flew backwards through a table, knocking it over and flinging it contents across the floor. JarZe wearily reclaimed his footing, dusted himself off, and went at Smith with a flurry of punches and kicks. Smith managed to block every attack JarZe could muster. Smith parried JarZe’s last punch, grabbed him by the forearm and flipped him viciously over another table. JarZe tasted blood. His body ached. JarZe was losing this one and they both knew it. Smith calmly walked over, picked up his gun, and stood over JarZe’s bloodied and bruised body. From outside the bar, two gunshots were heard in quick succession. A moment later, Agent Smith emerged victorious, tucking the gun back into his jacket. He touched his ear piece with a single finger and said, “My job here is done. JarZe has been terminated.” The Matrix Has You. 1 - andromeda 2 - Voltage 3 - Jarze - Killed by Agent Smith 4 - Prof. T 5 - IDoNotExist 6 - twin_bro 7 - Star Tiger - Killed by Twin #2 8 - Crazy Painter 9 - Renan 10 - Riranor 11 - Randro 12 - Grey Cells 13 - Impervious 14 - A.I. 15 - R.M.Z 16 - Reaymond 17 - SG 18 - Izzy 19 - Zerep 20 - CyberSpace17 21 - itachi 22 - Brandonb Edited March 16, 2009 by Social_Darwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Wow, that must have been a lucky guess for them to figure out JarZe so quickly. Either that or they spied him last night, but then waited until the day to kill him for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
