Did you notice...

... that system administrators still seem to keep their eyes on their LANs even if you manage to ...detain them? (evil grin)
... the only person touting the "ultimate challenge" seems to be Maniak?
... mrxak's finally run out of haikus ? (It's been a while since I've been around, but it was fun touting Nova with ya, xak.)
... you can't blame yourself in trace missions, bank or otherwise?
... detonating your hardware around the Uplink upgraders doesn't seem to faze anyone?
... all those cute little mission badges in the Neuromancer HUD?

Just to stir up some fresh conversation or something. Probably most or all of this has already been noted and beaten to death.

Yes, this will happen. You must be quick with LANs.

That might be because everyone else is busy conquering custom LANs. I plan to make a mod soon, if I can.

I think we uh, might just have noticed that?

Quote

This is because the game doesn't know your real name. This would also get yourself arrested if you gave them your name.

Quote

... detonating your hardware around the Uplink upgraders doesn't seem to faze anyone?

Yeah, I guess the gateways with nukes are far apart so they don't blow each other up. That would be funny if one gateway could destroy a building. :biggrin:

Quote

... all those cute little mission badges in the Neuromancer HUD?

Yes. You get those for doing storyline or secret missions. This has long been noticed by everyone. All of these have been posted before. I'm just glad you posted so I could practice my quoting.

why is it that after I cleared my criminal record (not on the boards) the feds are still after me and they want me to pay two 1000cr fines for unauthorized systems access?

Just imagine that there is more than one admin, but only the head guy gets listed. How else would you explain the round-the-clock instant log-on to trace you down?
Okay.
Heh, those were the days :). Actually, those were the days before I became a moderator, before I got involved in 20 other projects, and before another billion things happened. The short answer is that I've had little time to write many haikus. Maybe next semester I'll write a few more, about Uplink perhaps?
Conflict of interest. Do you want to get paid or do you want to indefinitely delay your capture?
Casualties of war, my friend, casualties of war.
Yup.

Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that sort of thing. A few system administrators I know get viciously territorial and don't want anyone else wielding their power. As for round-the-clockness, I think I see a few grad students every now and then that never seem to sleep, ever. (which, as another DYN aside, you as an Uplink agent never sleep, either; unless you run extra-fast-forward for eight or so hours ignoring absolutely any alarm or new job or other things.
Even so, putting a sysadmin in limbo would really be fun and help out a couple of LAN runs.

The following are all find-out-where-you-live-fly-to-that-location-and-beat-your-skull-in-with-your-own-severed-leg-worthy:
xak, mrx, Mr. Xak, Mr. X, zak, zack, Zak, Zack, Zax, xach, xack, mrzak, mrzah, mrxax, mrzack, Mrxak, Mrzak, Mrzack, mRXAK, MRxAK, mrak, mxrak, or any of the above in any other form of capitalization (unless on the okay-list), or any other variation on any of the above "themes".

-- and the following edit of the same post --

(edit: And yes, I have been called all of the names on that list. I'm not making any of them up. Even monkeys can speel a five letter word correctly. You're not dumber than a monkey, are you? )

//endquote

The proper follow-up to the edit is "What kind of monkey?"

But I apologize for misnaming anyone and did not mean to give offense or to suffer a bludgeoning from my own semi-flabby severed leg.
In my defense, I rarely if ever lose my sanity (whatever little there is) enough to venture into the darker corners of the Banter and Brawl board.

So, mrxak, I sincerely hope that no harm was made since none was intended, and I hope that some passing shuttlecraft will eventually come across your deep-space escape pod and ferry you off to Levo (or even Sol).

I also didn't really know where to put this posting, anyways, but this seemed the best spot.

Too bad. I'm already inbound :p. Nah, no worries. I'm not as bad as EVula or forge when it comes to names.

Dangit! I'm trying to get to Palshife! Heh, didn't you ever see my quote: "What goes up must come down, unless it reaches Escape Velocity and flies off to Palshife to join the Rebellion."

TomRix

At the risk of going farther off-topic, I wouldn't mind being carted off to Palshife, myself, but everyone was Levo-bound.
