Peregrin

New book: "The Siege of Gamma" by Cobqlt, Caerus & Metsys ! Voxels come and go. Stories are eternal (and wipeproof)...

The Easter Eggs, however trivial some may find them, have entered the library ! Only now, after two years, do I realize I could have changed this forum thread's name when "Sleepers" switched to "Lexikon" back in Sept. 2020 (... though the wipe-no-wipe may imply that Beta was not "the real thing" after all but another dream trance, rendering the whole "we woke up" thing incorrect, with all the consequential porte-à-faux for the game's lore but let's not get into that just yet shall we okay good) "This too shall pass."

Thank you again and to all NQ staff who participated, this event will not go unremembered.

This is glorious, thank you fondly ! ... and yes, please let us know about the other quotes' choosers.

And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor ! - Alice Cooper, "The Black Widow" Of all the things I lost, I miss my mind the most. - Mark Twain Home ? I have no home. Hunter, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world I can be its master ! I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world ! - Dr. Eric Vornoff, "Bride of the Monster" NQ-Deckard's Secret Egg: can you find my treasure ? (plus binary code)

So no-one thought about checking Alioth's Cathedral, heh ? @NQ-Nyota Could we hope for a full disclosure of all messages, found and unfound, please ? We already have a compilation of some, thanks to Juvenius, Koffye, Belorion and Tekhamon, but some of the more... archive-oriented among us could appreciate having the whole ensemble.

No more space haikus ?

I'll actually be quite happy if they wipe. A good occasion to revisit FTUE, re-settle and then rebuild Lexikon: new place, new style, new layout, new materials, new formats... But I also understand my phlegm is in proportion to the little investment I have in the game proper: no territory holding, no industry, no pvp, no org politics... I'm quite the hermit. And NQ have been soooo bad at making decisions and communicating about them since Beta started ! Still. Man the ranks, hold the line, keep the banners up, Noveans. Our universe will come to be.

But there ARE records. I'll PM you and see if I can interest you into Lexikon and DUHS. Also... We need to talk and write that down.

I wish NQ had given us an explanation on how, we, the first pioneers of a new civilization, woke up to already amply-stocked Markets (on every planet!), huge Institutes, Ship Shops offering cutting-edge technology, free and insistant shuttles to the Moon, buried wrecks and even a guaranteed daily income...

It's not under NDA, also available in this very forum as well as in the Lexikon Library on Sanctuary Moon. Note that Damasio's writings, although a personal request from JC to Alain, have been partially retconned by NQ.

We had "alien mysteries" before: the Artifact Puzzle and the Gold Star affair (which was "alien" in a sense of "what happened here ?!") introduced the idea we Noveans were not alone in Helios. True, these "Alien Cores" look more like practical gameplay devices than lore development revelations but remember: even if NQ never put tremendous effort into their lore, we still have a couple more kyrium-backer-made mysteries coming on.

My now-defunct DUSleepers website has apparently been... huh... reanimated into a scambot for Fifa stuff. Such foul Netomancy there ! Let the dead lie in peace for they, at last, have left this sorry world. Out of precaution, I edited out all the links from this thread's first page but I have put many of those afterwards: don't click them.

We have a new text: a description of the Beta state of the game, a nice synthetic piece by Koriandah. Things go on, pages flip, ink flows and dries.

Welcome
