Sorry! but in Andrew's defense ... he's mad as a hatter and forgetful as well ... blame the PC not the player

I don't understand what you mean. I took the same road you did just in my own words?

You and Joani both actually. You both uttered similar sentiments and CloneAndrew just went right on and stirred the pot ignoring what you had said. Blame the evil clown... er clone.

I love my hubby Go Ulric!

To be fair, Cody is limited to speaking through the link atm, unless Fox rules that I can speak through his armor's systems. Wrm..also just because Michael is god-king doesn't necessarily mean he isn't a benevolent one...

EDIT: think I'll say that IC...

Joani isn't the only one who can see the explosion coming...

Just to be less confused - Andrew's reaction is because of Steve's Sooth? Or is there something else we're not aware of yet?

I think it was Sooth...

And Steve mentioning money is obviously a diversion or excuse for looking into things.

You have not detected even the hint of a lie in anything she has said so far. That includes her statement of 'B'illons of people wanting to see you all.

Well played Fox...

edit: well well played everyone really! But Fox had us going there for a second with the "you feel something amiss" vibe...

It's still here. We might be looking at the results of Q8 Consciousness Supreme or whatever.

Also, if Mike is Q10 then he has *at* *least* Taint 6.

I just think its an interesting combo of telepathic and cybernetic gestalts, interweaving. Similar to the pschic link with Lorean but on a vast and more fundamentally integrated level...

Yeah, either way it serious bad mojo ...

Careful there Jameson. Give it 30 years and about half of my future vision will be true. We will be wired and have direct mental access to vast stores of accumulated knowledge. Mankind is going to be debating these issues of who gets access to what knowledge. We already are to some extent and it is going to get more obvious the closer we get to being 'plugged in'. Btw, it may not be psychic telepathy, but it will be a form of telepathy.

Give it 30 years and about half of my future vision will be true.

Somewhat more than that I think... but you're right, it's coming.

Darklighter just shared this with me:

Well, just because things are going well for the human race and your descendants are happy with their lives doesn't mean that there isn't something creepy about it. Just imagine how freaked out you would be if you lived in the year 1708 and jumped forward to 2008. There are more surprises coming and more cultural differences that might still make you choke on your nice family meal.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!!

Not necessarily. The Singularity could be a great thing for all involved, not to mention the natural next step in the ongoing evolution of ourselves.

Fox it says I have to sign up for that article. Can anyone cut and paste the relevant stuff? Im tired of always having to register with a user name and password...

that's weird, I didn't have to register.

Could you repost the link maybe?

You probably already have at some point or another.

I think the article is only open for the first day or two - once it hits their archives it's registration time. Good news is the reg costs nothing IIRC.

EDIT: I'll get back to my own table now

The cost is annoyance...

Hey Fox, it was unclear to me if we could spend those nova points yet. Did anyone else spend theirs?

What nova points?

Fox mentioned to give us 15 XP and another 10 NP which we should not yet spend. That is how I understood the situation. I wrote him a PM but he hasn't answered yet.

@Courier - I haven't spent mine yet and I PM'd Fox because there would be a huge difference for me if I had to spend the XP before or after we get the 10 NP.

I thought it was just the NP that we couldn't spend.

yes, right. But I've saved my EXP, too.

These comes from the 8th and 16th of August.

Fox hasn't mentioned the NPs since so I don't think we can spend them yet. As for Andrew, He's got 9 taint built up and I still need to buy his Nova Med skill to 5 in order to get the cure .... I'll need more exp still!

...or a single NP when the time comes...

The time is coming... it is coming soon.

that would fix the skill dot issue but I (knowingly) bought myself into a pretty deep whole with taint

I'm a bit slammed at the moment, Steve is making small talk.

Guys, I've got to apologize again. Seems like it is becoming a habit... The new promotion at work has really hit me with a lot more responsibility and my time on the site here has been suffering. I will do my best to keep up on this game even at the expense of all others. Again, sorry for the delays.

I will not be able to post for several days. I will be in the hospital. If all goes well I will return at the end of that time. If not....

ahm... I hope you're doing well. Come back, Ziggy!

Are you implying that your hosputal visit may prove life threatening??

Be w
