Even though I can't control what goes into the backstory of an application, I don't want anything to do with the secret room or the circumstances around the discovery of it.
Third Eye traditionally starts off low-tech in each new area (hence the destruction of the resources/assets that were contained in the Asylum - in this case, all of the electronic equipment and anything too heavy to travel with) and it would spoil it for Third Eye if we suddenly had access to all of this technology when we haven't truly earned it in this region.
no wrecky tradition pls
Am I the only one wondering how legit it really is that Onyx (who let's be fair isn't exactly a character with a 6 paragraph back story as it is) comes in with some guns during the event and then you apply for them and get to keep them, even if it says no applying for weapons in the sticky?
Onyx is Daniel Slater. The only reason I have two characters for the same person is because I can't have a vest item which applies the custom model onto the citizen character. The custom model exists for group image projection purposes of a symbolic nature, not a way to raise my own OOC reputation as "the guy with the goggles". If the item existed and I was able to switch in and out of it then I wouldn't need the character named Onyx.

Plenty of dropbox backups to show a timeline of the activities that contributed towards the event: (http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/8296/thirdeyebackups1.jpg)
Here is some other old material from the group-accessible dropbox that led up to the uprising:

In the end, the mass of weapons in City Forty Five that were handed out were just a physical extension of the mini-events that led up to the uprising. In addition to this, it was also stated IClly at the start when they were handed out that they were in sub-par condition and weren't going to be of much use long term so it wasn't like they were 'fresh out of the factory' M249 machine guns.
