Why I'm Leaving

[Anonymous]

I am leaving FA. It is not you guys, it is MXO.
Unfortunately, MXO is not even close to my expectations. After trying the Beta, I have become disenchanted with it.
That game has dug itself into a deep hole,and there is no way of getting out.

It's not the bugs or technicalities. The core gameplay is simply not fun. I am bored with that game already, after only a few days of play. Although the Devs have tried to be different with it, the game is different in a bad way. It's just worse than other MMORPGs. I know that there is no way I would buy this game when it is released.

It's been a great time with you guys, and I've grown to like all of you. I wish you all the best in both MXO and the real world.

I've enjoyed very much this journey into the Matrix Universe. But, perhaps the ones who are not in Beta have it the best. They still have their expectations and hopes. Mine are shattered.

Now that I am withdrawing from the MXO community, I have an important message for you. It's encrypted. By the time you decrypt it, I will be gone. It is best that way. Thank you all. I only wish I could see how this will play out. No matter. The others will tell me.

You go byebye.

[Anonymous]

It's always sad to see someone else go.  I never really talked to you personally or knew very much about you, but I'm sure you will be widely missed.  Good luck my friend

For the lazy, the translation:

I have a confession to make.
For the past few months, I have been a spy in FA.
I have relayed much insider information, first to Infect of Elite Executioners, and then to Admiral Tom of the Immortallis, who, for some reason, hates FA.

I have leaked the details to the admission challenge.
I have sent much of the forums' important content,
such as "Clan Relations", Ship crew lists, etc.

Hiddenshadow was also a spy for Elite Executioners. I thought that by exposing him, I would gain Tbone's trust. He never knew that I was a spy, so while I was able to betray him, I was safe.

Why did I do it? Power. Admiral Tom was able to offer me power, control, authority.
In FA I was only a foot soldier, a pawn, a cog. No more!
I am free from your clandestine control, Tbone!
TBone, so high and mighty, Commander of the biggest clan, you say! We are the most powerful, you say!

Well, know this:
FA is nothing. You are surrounded by espionage and incompetence.
Admiral Tom has at least three other spies in FA, whom I do not know. One is a captain.
You have perhaps 20-30 members you can trust.
The rest are either inactive, lazy, or traitorous.
You were able to protect FA from the outside, but it collapsing from within.
 
I will now cease to exist.
Goodbye.

Sorry to see him go? Come again?

Whoa... "The Watcher" was a Spy.

::shakes his head::

[Anonymous]

lol go figure ..heh

so much for the "you will be widley missed" part, eh wolf?

[Anonymous]

yup.....

the.watcher was a spy, eh? Well, I wonder who else in the clan would be a spy.....

"The others", eh? Hmmmmmm.......

[Anonymous]

Ya, I do lie about my feeling sometimes.... anyway, I told you Eclipse, when people were suspecting a spy in FA, wtf did The Watcher care who was the spy.....

[Anonymous]

hmm.

[Anonymous]

yeah, ok, so I'm gonna have to rescind that a little bit.  Not quite so sorry to see him go.  On the other hand, if those other clans know all that information about us, then they know how much power we have.  What format was that message encrypted in?

  That's really the problem though.  I guess it's not that bad because they know that we are powerful but they know HOW powerful so we don't necesarrily have that element of suprise.

[Anonymous]

Feh.

Who is watching the Watchers?  

That's the interesting question.

Sommmmmmmmmmmmmmmething tells me somebody is.

Just a hunch.

[Anonymous]

Yeah .. because we have alot to be spied on for .. you know .. like .. what we ate for breakfast - or how drunk Cosmic was that one day.

I hold no resentment mate, good luck in whatever other game you pursue.

[Anonymous]

Sorry, just have to say this...

how drunk Cosmic was that one day.

Cosmic is always drunk....

[Anonymous]

Tru dat.

(PS: How in the HELL did you decode that message?)
