 		I think it's meant to be a person. When I said that my crytal was broken, DC said "It looks red to me."

Later in the conversation they recommended Net-Circuit-Google1 for research into the Pre-New Century. Rolling Eyes

 		I didn't save the conversation but it went something like this:

Quote:
Me:... [i just wanted to see the away message]
DC: How can I help you?
Me: Can you tell me anything about Coby3?
DC: I can't give away personal info on citizens.
Me: That sounds fair. Also, i think my life crystal is broken.
DC: It looks red to me.
Me: Yeah i think it's okay now. What can you tell me about runners?
DC: There are no Runners.
Me: Are you sure? I have heard rumours. People at the loveshop.
DC: There have been no runners since pre-new century.
Me: Tell me about pre-new century. I have not heard of this rogue sandman.
DC: All good and true citizens know of pre-new century.
[which i had, i just wanted DC to tell me.]
Me: I wish to be good and true but I don't know the story, where can I find it?
DC: Net-Circuit-Google1 will aide you.


That's about all. But like i said, this is from memory. It's not too interesting anyway.

 		Just for the record, i was referring to DC being a "bot" not as in the OOG world, I meant whether DC is a City Of Domes computer.

I dont want to start a new thread for such a small bit of info, so I'll just post something DC said when it gave me my login:

Quote:
SkilletAudio (11:41:44 AM): Good morning.
DomeCentral (11:44:53 AM): You mean Good Evening
SkilletAudio (11:45:29 AM): My mistake
SkilletAudio (11:45:48 AM): I must be miscalibrated.
SkilletAudio (11:51:10 AM): Good evening.
DomeCentral (11:51:51 AM): How may I help?


Notice the gap...it was like "Input incorrect, please retry" Smile
Also, a teeny clue into the "timezone" of the COD?

So, where are you based? Seems like a pretty big time difference.

I thought COD was based in USA somewhere?

During Chasing the Wish there was a special Search Engine site created by the PM. It piggybacked on Google so we would get the standard google results, but if we used the correct search term, we'd also get special info or link to an ingame website (that would not show up on regular google).

I searched around COD and couldn't find one (even changing the arcade shop links to have google1 instead of hallucimill). Email would seem such a slow means to do any sort of search. Maybe DC is "programmed" to suggest google for anything that isn't a standared question? And "Google1" is the future version of "Google"?

Although "pre-new century" in standard google didn't net much for me.

 		Typing random addresses into the URL bar:

I really don't think it's in-game.

 		I don't have the characters, so all I get is question marks and boxes. From the characters in the title bar picture, I assume it's in japanese.

 		I'm in Central time.
I dont think its the time zone of the PM's, but maybe a hint to the timeclock of the City of Domes.
