The one entitled 'improving liberty island'

the story depicts all the faults in the first mission of deus ex ie giving a lone groundtroop the only sniper, having no air support despite there being a chopper right outside unatco HQ, and the carefree attitude of the nsf despite being surrounded by the military equivalent of a swat team.. lol..

Yeah, fuck, I wish I could take credit for that. I'm pretty sure that's just a copy/paste from a post by Chris the Cynic on the old PDX forums though. I loved it so much I stole it. I don't even remember if I asked for permission.

I can't take credit. It isn't that you never took anything of mine in the manner you describe, it's just that that wasn't mine.

You actually did include an attribution in that article, it says it's by "The Confessor" so based on a few seconds of searching, I think it's by whoever did this.

In finding that I stumbled across a story you wrote about Icarus. (He killed his father. Who was named Ralph.) It was a good story, darker than my preference, but it would have to be if it's going to be an origin story for Icarus.

Oh yeah Confessor, I seem to remember I've confused you and him before. I'm not sure why, but it's probably because you both go into quite a lot of detail in your analyses of Deus Ex. Or went. I haven't heard from Confessor in ages. You'll note he was actually the third person to sign up to this board.

Also thanks. I like to think my writing has gotten better in the mean time (I could of course be wrong), but that Icarus thing was definitely one of my better pieces at the time
