Last night was a fairly exciting night in Syndicate, specifically PF-346.

We started out in RF-GGF, spinning in station wasting time when vent lit up with intel saying Red Federation and Blue Republic were camping the same gate. This, of course, led to much speculation.

A few minutes later, we heard they were on the RF- gate in BMNV. “WTF… go go go”. We undock and beat feet to the gate, jump through, and manage to relieve some pods from the cramped innards of their ships.

Hot on their heels, E-P-O-C-H warps in and we can only assume they were after Red and Blue. Too bad.

As this fight was wrapping up, we had the 0utbreak guys warp in in RR BSes, and we promptly pulled a GTFO after some lite tank testing.

After much debating and more station spinning we decided to roam to PF-346, a single system pipe frequented by Cry Havoc.

Initially, we camped both sides of the PF- <-> FD- gates and caught a couple of solo SoulForged Combat Group guys. Sorry guys, get a better blacksmith. Kill1 Kill2

An Ev0ke Purifier was unlucky enough to land in our HIC bubble, provided by Paucoon76

Finally, we have bubbles up on the Orvolle gate in PF- and we begin our slow decent into rapid wolves. Actually, it didn’t take too long.

Aggressive Dissonance (much love) and Violent Society, who, inconsequentially, gave <BDEAL> a blue invite just 24 hours previously, decided to try and take the gate from us.

Now the battle was a little hazy as ships popped so fast. I do know that Omarvelous, our fearless leader, went down first, and we lost a Ferox belonging to Natilus2.

We we killed was a Curse +pod, Pilgrim, Brutix, Drake, Drake, Hurricane, Myrmidon and Taranis +pod.  Link

Not bad indeed…

As we celebrated our victory with much looting and scraping of drones, our enemies were hard at work refitting and planning.

Our scout reported a lot of  ship activity in Orvolle, and it was decided, with swollen egos and much alcohol, to stay and fight and win the day.

What followed was only fair play. (this BR has the last one mixed in, sorry)

The enemy jumped in 2 Scimitars, 2 Brutix, Myrmidon, at least 2 Zealots, Hurricane, Drake and some more.

We managed to take out 2 Brutix and a Myrmidon before we succumbed to what was a good fleet with excellent logistics.

Having been buoyed by our previous victories, we headed for home or the closest hub and I logged for the evening.

Thanks all for a terrific evening of PvP. Wish it was that fun all the time.

Half way around the world lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
The first thing that arises in your mind when you awake
Is bending you ’til you break, let me hold you now

Baby close your eyes, don’t open ’til the morning light
Baby don’t forget, we haven’t lost it all yet

Dear dermatologists, why does no one provide an email? All I want is to ask a couple questions about becoming one for a stupid paper! My English teacher is the pits and I have to have this by Tuesday, and it’s not working out.

Blahhh, I’m coming down with a cold. Bad day yesterday. Very bad. Took some weird test. He took it too. I don’t think I did very well. I can’t imagine that he did.

Then I’m pretty sure all my friends went got together at someone’s house and watched a movie. I wasn’t invited, but I caught snippets that let me know what was going on. :/ Life sucks.

Frankly, I don’t know what to do anymore. I really think I need new friends, or maybe I just need to be less annoying? Overbearing? Stupid? Argumentative? Because lately, I haven’t even been causing problems, I just say something innocent and get jumped. Example: After taking a test in AP, my friend asked how I did. I told her I didn’t do very well, and bombed the essay. Her response: “Why?” So I told the truth: I didn’t study beforehand, which was my fault, but when I tried to I didn’t know which questions would be the essays, and couldn’t properly prepare. And what does she say? “You did know the essays, I told you.” Okayyy? So I say no, maybe you told someone else. And she insists that no no no no she told ME. And the weirdest thing? She literally seemed angry, and was outright ACCUSING me of lying about not knowing the essay. I don’t understand. I didn’t do anything. It doesn’t affect her.

Actually, this certain friend appears to have had an issue with me lately, and I suppose I should just let it go. Which I’m trying. But she doesn’t seem to be. At all. And quite frankly, it’s getting to me.

Maybe the entire world is getting to me now. I’ve been incredibly forgetful lately. I have to write myself reminders to do things and I keep losing possessions. I get distracted a lot. I can’t remember how to do these math problems.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone’s talking about me. Then I wonder how I could be so vain as to think that anyone would actually CARE enough to talk about me, be it in spite or (though unlikely) in praise. I’m pretty sure I’m just a blip on people’s radar that they either ignore or don’t notice at all.

Well, I thought this guy in one of my classes might like me. I wasn’t really interested, but I was kind of flattered that it might be possible. Then he asked my friend out. It was stupid of me to think that someone could actually have liked me anyway, I suppose.

It’s rather interesting how the theme of this post keeps changing, hm? I seem to be doing a god job of writing about my feelings today, I updated things over at YT and FF.net too.

I should make myself a cup of tea and read a good book. Maybe it would distract me from how much of a loser I am.

Baby, close your eyes, don’t open ’til the morning light
Don’t ever forget, we haven’t lost it all yet
All we know for sure is all that we are fighting for
Baby, don’t forget we haven’t lost it all yet

We haven’t lost it all yet
We are closer, we are closer

Da der inoffizielle Blog des Entwicklers Starbreeze Studios mittlerweile Nachrichten zu Syndicate aufgreift, die nicht im konkreten Zusammenhang mit den Spekulationen um Project RedLime stehen, liegt nah, daß die Firma Starbreeze Studios tatsächlich Syndicate eintwickelt! Anderenfalls wäre es sehr sonderbar, diese Berichte über das klassische Syndicate aufzugreifen.

“…Ah, if we were to do it again now…”

Einige der damals am klassischen Syndicate beteiligten Entwickler kommen in diesem beachtlichen EDGE-Artikel zu Wort und plaudern aus dem Bullfrog-Nähkastchen. Dabei geben sie überraschende Details preis. Lesenswert!

-Christian Krecks

Yeah, the title of the post sounds like a school child’s composition topic

But really, there is no better way to describe the roughly 1 hour that I spent at the Syndicate Bank yesterday.

Nowadays many of us have started banking with private banks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and others. Also we are accustomed to Net Banking and do not need to walk in to the bank as much. I also have the privilege of help, so for routine matters, I am able to send a person who takes care of depositing cheques etc. So visits to the bank are rare. And when these happen, these are at plushly decorated private banks, with smart tellers and loads of credit-card and loans-selling salesmen hovering around you.

So the visit to Syndicate Bank yesterday was a different experience altogether.

I do not bank with them, but had some money to collect, against a bearer cheque issued to me, for some old dues. Rather than send someone, I decided to stop by on the way to work, and do the honours myself!

So here’s the scene first.

Unlike my HDFC Bank, I do not see any systematic queues or structure here. There are many tellers sitting behind glass covers, but people are generally hovering around counters, as they please. Obviously the regulars are more familiar. There are complete walls filled with elaborate explanations about banking matters. From who can open a current account, to the requirements for FDs, and including their email address of the ancient form that I had first seen in 1997, i.e. xeebom.mail.com.. or something long and drawn out, like that. Yes, the large walls serve as notice boards. Except that the instructions are mostly in English (and which is not what their target group will read, as I discover in some time) and the fact that most of those are painted, and so I wonder how often do they change these, considering the fact that bank facts change all the time!

Anyway, getting the scene in, I asked for where I needed to go, and was directed to a particular window. There were few people already around that counter, and I tried to create a semblance of order, by standing behind a person, and making an official queue. Couple of people who came after that, I guided them behind me, to stand as a queue. Was a little strange for them but they complied anyway!

The queue was slow moving, but which  enabled me to look around and observe the scene.

It was clear that there were many people from the lower and middle income group that banked here. I am not sure if it is the bank charges or the airconditioned environs or the perception of private banks being richer people’s banks, but it appears that the lower and middle income group has stayed with the PSU banks and continued to be in their comfort zones there (wonder if it is true for kirana vs organized retail, and for similar reasons?). Old people with sticks in their hands, gingerly led by their younger ones, many Maharashtrian bais, ladies in burgas and the like, were seen all around.

As the queue moved ahead, I could also see the transactions happening ahead of me. Demand drafts to send home, small amounts deposited, small amounts withdrawn were the typical transactions.

The tellers seem to know familiar faces. Even while giving out small cash, they wanted to be sure that the person had updated her passbook. I guess people must live close to the brink, in terms of maintaining low balance!

While depositing cheques and cash of people, tellers would ask for passbooks. Just to validate the account numbers. Obviously mistakes of putting in incorrect account numbers must be common!

The tellers were not the most efficient, but that was due to slow computers, lack of support systems etc. They all appeared to be genuinely helpful to the customers, and either had a slight smile on their faces, or a neutral face. At least not a grouch that I have seen in other banks!

I needed to validate the balance and then withdraw cash. So when my turn came, and just as I asked for this detail, their systems went down! Knowing how computers work, and realizing that the bank will not shut down for the day, I expected the systems to come back up again, in sometime. So I hung around. But I was standing right at the counter, waiting for the systems to come back.

Meanwhile, the teller continued to service other customers, the kind who did not need the use of the system. For example, those who had cash to be deposited or small cash withdrawals (here the teller just asked the question to the customer, ‘have you checked passbook – balance is there, no?’) to be done.

As I waited there for the next 40 minutes, there were very interesting observations.

Many people were depositing cash like Rs. 300/-, Rs. 700/- and amounts of those kinds. There were withdrawals also of Rs. 250/- or numbers like those. There were drafts being made for sending to home towns, for amounts like Rs. 500/- or so. There were small amounts being deposited with questions that they have some cheque already given, and will this deposit ensure that the cheque does not go back (perhaps some EMI?). The people there, the numbers being mentioned can be a reality check for many in our society, who are used to seeing and dealing in far larger numbers!

In between you would find the small businessman, who speaks English (for a change) and who is also familiar with the tellers, coming and chatting up. That he has got used to net banking, and is able to see so-and-so details. And the teller and the customer both have smiles. And there are the real regulars who know their way around. They find it easy to walk to the inside part – where the tellers are sitting – and move from one table to another, to take care of their work directly at the respective tables. From the inside, they will hand over their slip books to deposit cheques, or take larger chunks of their cash for the shop, for example.

There is an entire method to the madness. One can be aghast looking at all this, but there is perfect peace with the way these things work, and nobody questions any of this!!

There was one particularly amazing incident where a Bai walked to the counter. Looking at her, the teller said in Marathi, that “why did she come in so drunk, early in the morning?”. The bai mumbled something. There was a lot of pain and trouble in her voice. She mumbled about problems at home. She was standing right next to me, and she was smelling of the liquor that she must have had, she was old (60+), she was staggering and her speech was all garbled. But she knew what she was there for.

She needed to withdraw cash!

She gave a passbook. By this time, the systems had come up. And although I was waiting for long, the teller could sense that this lady was in trouble and it was best to get her done and sent off. She looked up her balance. And conveyed that it was a little over 700/-. The look on the face of the lady was one of extreme disappointment. She had no idea, but she was obviously hoping that there was more money there. The teller asked the lady to get a slip and bring. The bai was in no position to move around. She mumbled something, but had a look of pleading on her face. The teller understood. She got up, went somewhere and brought back a slip. Filled it out for 700/-, put a stamp pad and asked the bai to put her thumb on it. Somehow the bai managed. And 700/- was given. The bai asked how much more is there. The teller advised that let the balance remain there. It was only another 70/- more. The bai had a look of helpless plea / request. As she mumbled away. She so badly wanted even that 70/- to be taken. She could do with whatever cash she could get that time. The teller advised against it. The bai accepted the suggestion. But then said that she was headed to the hospital. And not sure if she would return back at all, or conk off from there. The teller asked her not to talk like that, and she will be back soon. The bai then proceeded to push her hand inside and profusely bless the teller several times, like she was her own daughter. She proceeded to give blessings likewise, to the teller on the next table.Before she walked away.

I was amazed by the scene. This is the real India, I guess. This is what those sentimenatal bank advertisements are about. Which talk about the relationships that bankers have with the customers. This is the real India, of small money, or survival, or being hand-to-mouth, so often!

A reality check for anyone who is not tuned into this world.

Go, spend a few hours in your local PSU bank or a cooperative bank, or even at your post office, where money orders are being made and sent. Even living in a city, you can get a view and an appreciation of life on the other side of the fence. We will also complain a lot less about our state, once we see this.. !

Für einen vollständigen Jahresrüclblick ist es natürlich noch zu früh. Daher heute vorab ein statistischer Rückblick auf 2009. Es ist jetzt bald ein Jahr her, daß wir auf die Berichte aufmerksam wurden, nach denen Electronic Arts in Schweden ein neues Syndicate entwickeln lässt.  Zuerst hatte Robert Grünhalm diese Neuigkeit auf seinem mittlerweile eingestellten Blog Greenglasses aufgegriffen. Schon kurz darauf war uns aber klar, daß wir dieser Sache mehr Aufmerksamkeit widmen wollten. Christian Krecks legte kurzerhand einen neuen Blog an, auf dem fortan und bis heute sämtliche Neuigkeiten zu Project RedLime und Syndicate, die das Internet hergibt, von uns zusammengetragen wurden.

Die Statistik- und Analysesoftware von WordPress aber auch das Feedback vieler Freunde und Unterstützer hat uns dabei geholfen, unseren Blog im vergangenen Jahr stetig zu verbessern. Zu der Grafik oberhalb ein paar erklärende Worte: Wir gründeten den Play Syndicate Newswire zu einer Zeit, als nur wenige Fach-Seiten über Projekt RedLime berichteten. Die hohen Zugriffe im Dezember resultieren aus dreierlei, der hohen Aktualität des Themas zu diesem Zeitpunkt, der geringen Menge an Seiten die darüber bis dahin berichteten und unserer Vernetzung mit der Syndicate-Fan-Community.

Die Zahl der Besucher unseres Blog fällt in den folgenden zwei Monaten konstant mit der wachsenden Anzahl der Websites, die Project RedLime als Meldung oder Thema aufgreifen. Am 31. März löst eine (neuerliche) Meldung von CVG einen regelrechten erneuten Ansturm von Suchanfragen und Zugriffen in den folgenden Tagen aus. In den darauf folgenden drei Monaten zeichnet sich der langsam rückläufige Trend erneut ab, bis wir am 26. Juni über ein geplantes “Ereignis” beim schwedischen Studio Starbreeze in Uppsala berichten, daß mit ProjectRedLime im Zusammenhang steht.

Seit dem Sommer hat sich die Entwicklung umgekehrt. Wir haben nun langsam steigende Zugriffszahlen, was wir auf einen Durchbruch bei den Werten “Rückgang durch Vermehrung der Websites, die Project RedLime thematisch aufgreifen” und “Zuwachs durch neue und wiederkehrende Besucher”, die unseren Blog als verlässliche Nachrichtenquelle zu diesem Thema identifiziert haben, bewerten.

Wir können mittlerweile in Googles Suchergebnissen zu unserem speziellen Themenfeld “Syndicate und RedLime” mit einigen großen Videospielportalen mithalten. Außerdem haben wir bewiesen, daß wir die entscheidenden News in der Regel binnen 24 Stunden aufgreifen, was uns persönlich sehr wichtig ist. Natürlich macht es uns auch ein bisschen Stolz, nach einem Jahr auf diese Resultare blicken zu können. Wir möchten allen Unterstützern und Mitwirkenden danken, unseren Lesern von hier aus alles Gute wünschen und Jeden, der uns helfen kann, schnell und aktuell zu sein, zur Mitarbeit einladen.

Mit den besten Grüßen von der gesamten Besatzung

Der Analyst Martin Birkeldh, der bei der Präsentation des jüngsten Quartalsberichts bei Starbreeze anwesend war, glaubt nicht mehr, daß das kommende Jason Bourne-Videospiel bereits vor dem sagenumwobenen Project RedLime veröffentlicht werde. Vielmehr erscheint es ihm mittlerweile naheliegend, daß Project RedLime im dritten oder vierten Quartal 2010, jedoch vor Weihnachten, und damit womöglich noch vor dem Bourne-Spiel veröffentlicht wird. Der Start des vierten Bourne-Films, mit dem das Videospiel vermutlich wegen der Marketing-Synergien parallel starten soll, wurde ja wegen organisatorischer Probleme auf 2011 verschoben. Die Vermarktung für RedLime könne dann jedenfalls im ersten Quartal 2010 anlaufen. Unbestätigte aber hartnäckige Gerüchte besagen, RedLime sei Syndicate.

The bushmeat trade is the illegal, over-hunting of wildlife for meat and income.

Already in West and Central Africa this trade has resulted in declines and local extinctions of many wildlife species and the economic, cultural and ecosystem services they provide. In addition, a number of human health threats have emerged from the trade in bushmeat including linkages to  HIV/AIDS, ebola and the threat of anthrax.

Bushmeat trade is not regulated or managed by any authority. Economic benefits from the trade go mainly to hunters and traders. If current trends continue, future generations of citizens in Africa will not have the opportunity to access benefits from wildlife. Using wildlife to meet protein and income demands cannot be supported in the long term.

The immediate threat of loss of economic opportunity, cultural and ecological services, and other values to a wider community must be addressed today.

(Taken From: www. bushmeatnetwork.org)

Here are some images from the Bushmeat Trade for you to get an idea of what we are talking about:

Heute veröffentlichte Starbreeze Studios einen Geschäfts-Zwischenbericht für Juli bis September 2009 als Pressemeldung, dem zu folge Electronic Arts in nächster Zeit mit der Vermarktung der beiden Produkte beginnen wird, an denen Starbreeze Studios in Schweden arbeitet. Bei den beiden Produkten handelt es sich um das neue Bourne-Videospiel und das sagenumwobene Projekt RedLime, von dem Manche behaupten, es sei Syndicate.

Die Gewinnerwartungen, die Starbreeze mit beiden Produkten verbindet wurden etwas reduziert, da kurzfristig Personal mit Festpreis-Verträgen aquiriert wurde. Die gegenwärtig ungewöhnlich hohe Verfügbarkeit von gut qualifiziertem Personal habe laut Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson ausgerechnet mit der Krise zu tun, von der die Branche hart getroffen ist. Allerdings ist Kristiansson zuversichtlich, daß mit den beiden EA-Titeln die Absatzschwellen überschritten werden können, ab denen der Entwickler vom Publisher anteilige Bonus-Gratifikationen erhalten wird.

Due to recent shift on the African political landscape,  International crime syndicates take advantage of the situation and are threatening the survival of rare African wildlife species. A recent press release by AFP confirms this report.

Kaum sind wir mal ein paar Tage nicht da… Die gleiche sonderbare Datenbörse, die bereits anfang April auf ein sonderbares Sprechercasting für ein EA Projekt namens DART verwiesen hatte, präsentiert nun einen Auszug aus einem angeblichen Skript mit so etwas wie Dialogzeilen. Bei DART soll es sich demnach um die bereits im Casting-Aufruf erwähnte Computerstimme handeln.

Auch wenn im Internet sowohl Leute aus dem Umfeld dieser Datenbörse als auch auf der scheinbar unvermeidlichen Nachrichtenplattform cvg bereits keinen Zweifel daran aufkommen lassen wollen, daß es sich bei DART sowohl um Project RedLime als auch um Syndicate handelt, wir zweifeln.

Weder aus dem früheren Casting-Aufruf, noch aus dieser jüngst aufgetauchten Skriptseite geht eindeutig hervor, daß es sich bei DART um Syndicate handelt. Nichteinmal ob DART tatsächlich mit dem real-existierenden Project RedLime im Zusammenhang steht ist eindeutig auszumachen.

-Christian Krecks

If anybody reads this who eventually creates a new Syndicate actually, don’t make it FPS or TPS please!

Stumbled across this today, Total Anarchy by Speedmaster, I feel like I’ve seen this a while back on the GMC but the topic says it was posted in April this year.

I’m loving the mild sci-fi-dystopian-cyberpunk thing this game has going on aesthetically, I just hope that the storyline is taken seriously and the game isn’t just a continual string of “missions” that seem more like unrelated scenarios. For some reason I’m reminded of the game Syndicate Wars.

Preview Video:

The ambition of capturing a lotto jackpot win brings people back time and time again as they think about how their life could be changed and that they might be able to quit their 9-5 working week forever. To many individuals, the thought of choosing those winning lottery numbers sets their brains wondering and no doubt dreaming about far-off places, holiday homes and expensive cars.

As the lottery idea has been a part of our social fabric for many hundreds of years, so creative people have been devising new ways to enhance their lottery odds and to give themselves some kind of an advantage when it comes to those weekly draws. The concept of a lotto syndicate came forth and has since become a popular method of playing lotteries; as players understand that there is indeed strength in numbers and that the chances of winning are massively improved.

A regular lottery game may need you to select six numbers from 1 to 49 meaning that the chances of scooping any cash are greatly stacked against you. However, when you club together with other lotto syndicate players your chances of winning can improve from (for example in the case of the UK lottery) one in 14 million to 1 in 1.9 million. Rather than having to match the six main balls plus the bonus ball, every entry will automatically record the bonus number and as a result you only have to match five numbers instead of six, and this gives you an incredible odds boost.

A great deal of individuals opt to avoid playing in a syndicate, especially prior to the internet being common place. To these persons taking part in this playing method meant a great deal of extra work. For Instance, you would have to register the other lotto syndicate members, make a point of ensuring that the monetary funds were collected and make arrangements for the handing out of any cash winnings. On top of this, unless you had put together some kind of written contract between all members, any number of disputes could develop and this could easily lead to a complex and angry situation.

With the advent of the internet, however, it is now extremely simple to signup to a syndicate that is managed completely online. In this way, you will not even know any of the other members in your syndicate, so there can be no potential for disagreements.  Another great benefit is that all the administration is handled on your behalf.

In the UK National lottery one in every four jackpots is picked up by a syndicate and this statistic helps convince a fair amount of lotto players to join one. Unless you actually savour the weekly interaction, purchasing the lottery tickets, remembering to check the results and using lottery participation as a social form of escapism as many do, then you should consider joining a syndicate. Keep dreaming about those lengthy foreign trips and household luxuries that a big lotto jackpot can give you, but you can now be safe in the knowledge that your odds of winning are now much better!

Lee May living in Switzerland’s micro climate informs readers that desire to form the own lottery syndicate away from e-lottery the importance of drawing up a lottery syndicate form for play in the UK Lottery.

Es wird wieder viel geredet ohne wirklich etwas zu sagen. Das ist natürlich unterhaltsam, führt aber in der Sache nicht weiter. Der britische Sci-Fi Schriftsteller Richard Morgan hat im Lauf des vergangenen Jahres an drei EA-Projekten mitgewirkt. Nach eigenem Bekunden handelte es sich bei den Projekten, ohne konkrete Namen zu nennen, ausnahmslos um Sci-Fi Titel.

Das englischsprachige Videospielportal Boomtown greift diese Äußerung auf und spekuliert über mögliche Titel wie Crysis oder Syndicate. Sollte ein renommierter Sci-Fi Autor an einem kommenden Syndicate beteiligt sein, wäre das überaus begrüßenswert. Richard Morgan ist bekannt u.a. für seine “Altered Carbon”-Reihe. Ihm wird zugeschrieben, gesagt zu haben: “Ich erzähle gewalttätige Geschichten über gewalttätige Konflikte zwischen gewalttätigen Menschen.” Er wäre damit für Syndicate gewiss der richtige Mann.
