Bishop is Mean

So when I first started playing Deus City I messaged Bishop to ask him what I should do or who I should talk to. Well he never got back to me in all that time, and I forgot I even messaged him. Today however I finally got that message back...here's what it said,

Bishop says: >>>ITERATION 51381 [PREVIOUS ATTEMPT FAILED - CHECK TEMPORAL TRANSMISSION LOG]
>>>
>>>INITIALIZING...
>>>CONNECTING...
>>>AQUIRING TP ADDRESS
>>>
>>>CONNECTED![TEMPORAL ERROR RESOLVED - CHECK TEMPORAL TRANSMISSION LOG]
>>>SENDING PREVIOUS UNSENT MESSAGE FROM GD111842-3PI:

Friggin' work you Damn piece of D-corp crap or I'll write a virus that'll wipe 10 years off your memory core!



Doesn't seem like the normal Bishop, though I have never talked to him personally, I have never heard anyone say that he has said anything bad to any agents before. Anybody have any ideas why he has had a sudden change in attitude?

Check the "Help!!!" post - seems like this is a common occurance. Maybe automated to all who sent bishop a message during the "storm"? Could be the messaging system is still down. Haven't actually heard from anyone yet other than kropp's post on the new article.

Anyone been contacted over interface messaging today/last night?

I got no message from Bishop, even so I sent him something, so maybe either my message is lost in the dust or it only being sent to certain people, prehaps people he can trust. Er.

Hmm...maybe it's just like the Mercer Buzzline announcement. Just tell 5 or 6 people, and let the word spread that messages will be going out soon.

Or bishop has gone insane with rage and is lashing out randomly. You know, either way.

Well the last time there was a long break in play remember Bishop said something about over 400 private messages he was trying to swim through. This break has been longer.

Or it could be Sawyer on Bishop's name. There was something mentioned about that before, wasn't there?

Yea It is wierd because it the message is from Bishop, but it also says that the message is being sent from GD111842-3PI, which is Sawyer's ID on the system. I am not sure if Sawyer has gotten to Bishop's system or what, but he has something to do with it.

I got one too

I hadn't checked in for awhile, but when I did, I saw the same message in my inbox. I would imagine that more than just a few people have received this message. Any others out there? Is there any information on who sent it if it wasn't Bishop? If it is Sawyer, is this leading us somewhere, or just spinning us in a circle?

Engage in delurking

Hey guys,

Just wanted to stick my head in and say hello. Hello! I too received this message, and I'm very new too. I sent a reply detailing my adventures in journalism, so maybe when Bishop has a moment he can respond.

I sent a message earlier to him when I first signed up a few weeks ago too. Maybe the connection is it's a message sent to all the new people who passed him a note during the storm?

Take Care,
Kendra_W

What Bishop had to say.

I sent this to Bishop in regards to his odd message that some of us recieved.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bishop,
I received your message. As you can see the resend of Sawyer's message did not come thru. Iwas able to get to his prologue and some of the posts he put in but that's it.
Please resend or provide more info.
Thanks
DV
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was his reply:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bishop says: hehe... oops! That was me actually - I put the messaging system on a spiral loop and used his Ident so it wouldn't tie me up. Glad we are back in business.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not much there really .

I checked in to see if any PM would grovel or ask me to stay and received the same generic Bishop response. I told him that i didn't believe the storm was real and quit the bs.
He told me I could believe whatever i wanted, he just worked there.
(if you want the exact one line answer, just let me know)

Any chance i can get permission from someone to tell bishop that i see he sent the same thing to several people?
I'm really annoyed with the PMs and am thinking that if i completely go back it'll be to start an anti-future group or something.

Sure, I'll forward the one that someone asked me about. I didn't get it myself but someone sent it to me in game.
