Um, Mercer is Dead???? I'm sure you've all seen this, but for the record Buzzline just sent this:
"Today is a sad day for all residents of Deus City, and especially those of the Red District. Our Senator, Thomas Mercer, has been killed in a tragic accident. We know that you did not know him well, but we believe that he had a real influence on you, the agents of 2007.
We are calling for all of your thoughts on Thomas Mercer's life and demise. Whether you have a full length essay or a single sentence, we would like everyone's input. It is a sad day, but we at Culturecorp believe that we can use this to make our bonds even stronger.
Agents of 2007, please show us that you care. We will choose several of your submissions to be shown in the news feeds, so that all the citizens of Deus City will know that you feel for us."
But was it the god killer?

Aw man! And Mercer was cool! He wore jeans and tennis shoes--how many doctors do that???
A "tragic accident"... like Beck, huh? I wonder when they'll tell us via news. I hope Tara's okay.

If this was the GK and it is fulfilling the folio - does this, and the approaching storm, mean deus city is coming to an end?
i sure hope not.

I am glad I joined just in time too see some action starting. It's a shame though, he seemed like a good guy from what I have read. GK strikes again though, should be interesting to see what the news feed says about it.

The news feed spoke. He was struck by lightning on the 18th hole of a game of golf, completely unassociated with the "Caddyshack" movie.

I want to know about the part we couldn't read. What did it say? What are they hiding from us?

Oh that's just funny!
I don't know if it's just me, but DC.com is acting up so I can't read the article or anything. It's VERY annoying. I'd like to see what TYara is going to do now. Most likely she's his heir, so she'll be taking over his Corps, which I think would hten make her a Sneator.

OK, I'm an idiot. Immediately upon seeing the <ERROR>s I checked the source code for mysterious stuff. But missed this until I copied the text to post here.
Emphasis added was mine (what is bold here was whitetext)

Shock and sadness swept across Deus City today as the rumor feeds gave way to the news feeds and the reality set in that our youngest and most revered senator has died tragically. Senator Thomas Mercer was found just after 4 p.m. DCST on yesterday, after being struck by lightning while on the 18th hole of the Mercer Club's course. Medicorp confirmed within minutes the data from his subcutaneous chip, that the senator had been killed instantly by the "act of go<<<ERROR>>>/gk <<ERROR>>>can-in now for memorial service times and dates in your district. Rest in peace Senator Mercer, you will be missed.
That's about as confirmed a GK as you'll get.

hmmmmm very very VERY interesting! It reminds me of HTML code like when you want something bolded, you type /b. So maybe this is the end of the GK? Like Mercer was the GK and now he's dead.
So maybe good riddance?

Or maybe Mercer was killed by the GK, and this is the GK leaving his signature, as it were.

Reiterating since I don't think this was made clear enough--
/gk --> http://www.deuscity.com/gk
Wavecrest was the one who informed me of my obliviousness in that matter.
