Iacon Inc. Proudly Presents the [syn]who? Project

Apr 28, 2005 Iacon Incorporated link
Workers at Iacon Incorporated would like to announce the creation of the [syn]who? Project*. The [syn]who? Project consists of a computer controlled EC-88 sent around the universe** with two goals.

1) To watch pilots and monitor them
2) To collect information on the best way to dodge

About Goal 1:

The EC-88, at this point in time always a standard dark green*** named [syn]who? will monitor other pilots, often attacking them. [syn]who? is considered UIT****, and will engage as many players as it can in its often short life, recording who it fights. Also, [syn]who? records every kill and every death it has, listing, in the case of a kill, the pilot, their faction, their ship, and how much experience [syn]who? gained. When it dies, [syn]who? documents who killed it, their faction, whether or not it was an honorable death*****, and then why or why not.

About Goal 2:

Inventors at Iacon Inc., despite their superb intelect, lacked especially good piloting skills. As the [syn]who? project developed, the inventors built a computer into the ship. This computer contains hundreds of different dodging styles. When [syn]who? joins a fight, a dodging style is engaged, overriding the standard diamond dodge [syn]who? was originally programmed to fight with******. Through this Iacon Inc. hopes to discover the secret to perfect dodging.

[syn]who?'s progress may be watched in channel 191392020. Contact with [syn]who? usually is unsuccessful, but if Iacon Personel is monitoring you might be able to talk with them. Also, [syn]who?'s purpose is to collect information, so if [syn]who? fights you multiple times in a row, you may recieve an automated hail requesting a temporary ceasefire. [syn]who? will alert you if it is going to start attacking you again. Keep in mind that [syn]who? does in fact document every kill and death, updating them on this site. If you break the ceasefire or kill [syn]who? in a deemed dishonorable way, then expect a short note of it here.

Iacon Inc. would like to remind everyone that the idea of the [syn]who? Project is to watch, and [syn]who? will not go out of its way to credit or discredit anyone in particular.

*[syn]who? bares no relation to [syn]n00b in anything other than name. Members of Iacon Inc.'s Humor Department thought it would be a good idea to name the project (and ship) after the pilot who's style [syn]who? mimics.
**[syn]who? is generally in Sedina B8
***Color is subject to change without notice
****Although considered yellow, [syn]who? has no official UIT standing, and may therefore shoot and be shot by UIT pilots.
*****An honorable or dishonorable death is to be determined by the Honor Committee at Iacon Inc.
******In desperate circumstances, due to a bug in [syn]who?'s programming, the [syn]who? ship will resort to its basic programming and start flying in an autododge diamond pattern.
