Return thee to home, soldier of the hills
It’s the end of the war, it’s the end of your ills
No longer must you live only to kill
Set your blade down, lay your hand still
Your loved ones are waiting, your children have grown
Cast off your sorrows, find your way home
The lives you have taken, the horrors you have sown
Rest your eyes now, ‘neath the calm eve’s gloam
Strictly speaking, the clock speed does not determine the length of the instruction cycle directly. It depends also on how many clock cycles are required for the overarching instruction cycle which minimally will include three clock cycles.
Not if it’s a RISC architecture. Granted, it probably isn’t, but if it were it would likely complete one instruction every clock cycle when not IO-bound. It’d be working on a few instructions at any given time, of course, but it would still have a throughput of one instruction per cycle.
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New-wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal Ha,hahahahaha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Rachel was offline during the fight, yes, but E-Merl and Scipio were at that last gathering at the High Elf city when they were regrouping after the two fights. E-Merl’s player was active up to the point he accepted Myamoto’s con and I believe Scipio’s quit when he chose to go with Fr’Nj.
Bandit’s player probably thought, “Huh, that guy’s RealID tag is already on my friend list, but I don’t remember who he was. Weird.”
Actually, Square Enix recently had a crossover event between two of its MMORPGs. NPCs from each game were getting magically transported to the other game and losing their memory.

The Chorus is strong with this one…
How long, exactly, is a cycle?
1024 millicycles.
Not very informative.
DDDragoni: A cycle is 8 cicles.
Sorry, maybe I can be clearer. It’s half of a bicycle.
Also, it’s two nickels; but no one ever says that.
No, no, one cycle is worth three icicles, but only when on a tricycle, or possibly a unicycle, but never if you recycle.
I’m guessing a day
How fast is the clock on the servers Cyberia runs on?
That is the correct answer. It all depends upon the clock speed of the computer.
Which on modern computers is “Really frickin’ fast”.

“Really frickin’ fast” is, however, an excellent off the cuff estimate.
Not that fast; it’s mostly running I/O to the offboard processing units.
And that’s a very good question that hopefully we don’t need to have answered.
Whether it’s ACTUAL CPU cycles or cycles in the lore of Cyberia may change the time from very very very short to manageable.
It may be *CPU* cycles, in which case… not long.
WAV mentioned them in… I want to say Breaking Bread With the Enemy. In that context, it seemed to mean hours.
Nope, it means days. He mentions it here first: http://guildedage.net/comic/breaking-bread-page-1-cover/ and then Penk has a chat with HAMMERHEAD about the fight being “yesterday.” http://guildedage.net/comic/breaking-bread-page-4/
aaaand I read Breaking Wind With the Enemy. I’m not awake yet.
Considering Sundar’s exchange with that one troll, I could actually see that happening.
Oh, Frigg and Best at it again, how nice.
Looks like they’re heading for an even bigger climax this time.
hopefully this one wont leave a shitty taste in their respective mouths
EWWWW!! To that comment, I say:
Scat, logical-ly
Time to find out how tough WAV is. if Best was anything to go by, the player behind him is very skilled.
That’s a really nice glowy keytarshit effect, Rob.
I was going to comment much to the same effect. It looks terribly rad.
Looks like it’s putting out quite a few rads well.
How many exactly is a Gray area.
I guess after this, Bandit will go find Byron’s corpse to stab him again in frustration.
HR will be like “and with this my world domination is complete-”
Bandit will be like, “talk to the hand, I have misplaced justice to met out”.
The power of Deep House vs Death Metal!
You can’t kill the metal. The metal will live on.
Nice avatar, Ubuntu!

So, WAV knows how to cure berserkerdom? That could be a gamechanger…
I’m guessing this is his specialty… remove corrupted files, fight Viruses (Virusses? Viri?) and so on.
He is an Anti-Virus
…Yezzzzz?
no.
(hyes)
Wav is a secret digimon
The berserker “virus” is a Cyberian lifeform. Much like the corrupter beast, it’s a creature that WAV has direct experience with.
Sarcasm? Yeah… Like Data in StarTrek… Not happening!

Check and mate.
can anyone explain why did E-Merl got tears running in his eyes?
Well, one of his friends is trying to kill him, and he’s still pretty drunk.
WAV’s striking a strange note here.
I wonder what the sepia world players thought of WAV when they first saw him. He’s a bit anachronistic afterall.
If anything he is the most normal character here. Plays his character perfectly.
Have they even met him? Most of his action has occurred while the users were offline, right?

Really? I knew about the event in XIV, but who was picked from XIV to appear in XI?
“Hey, where’d he get that cool transformation Toy?”
I can only imagine the battles sound track being one thing….
Green lightsaber vs. red lightsaber! Who will win?
Anyway, nice unexpected plot twist. Me gusta.
Seems the cultist’s allmighty leader forgot to uninstall Antivir first.
Have you spelled “Gilded Age” as “Guilded Age” on purpose? Just askin’

Didn’t you know?
