Mid Year LARP 2000       It is the year 2112 AD. Your neural connection to the Metaverse screams as a digital bullet pierces your avatar's chest, violently kicking you out of the system. A bright flash of searing electric light accompanies your return to the real. You chug a D.B. and as the surge of caffeine tunnels through your veins, you reboot the machine. The mission is simple: log back in, get revenge, and reclaim your title as the best Quake Infinity player this side of the 'verse.       It's not all fun and games though. If you1ve got dreams of financial success and power, then you1d better know your way around the Metaverse. It1s a cutthroat world of Virtual Corporations, Hackers, and AIs, all of which have their own agenda, and it usually doesn1t include wasting time to help out the likes of you. If you think you can keep up with the dizzying, hectic pace, then jack in for the ride of your life. Be warned, however, the ^Iverse is more dangerous and chaotic than ever before... Take, for example, the following recent events: One month ago, Virtual Genesis, the largest software company on the planet, usually credited with the creation of the Metaverse, was bought out by an unknown company. Last week, the first AI "murder" in the history of the Metaverse was committed. Investigations are currently underway. Yesterday, a team of AI MetaCrawlers vanished while conducting a standard mapping survey near the edge of the Metaverse. Early this morning, during further investigation of the MetaCrawler disappearance, a large bridge was discovered extending beyond the edge of the Metaverse. Its creator, protocols, and destination are unknown. Following the discovery of the bridge, a "Code Haven" was constructed around the entrance for security reasons and to allow further investigative research into the nature of this construct. The most influential Metaverse, Business, and World leaders are currently assembling at the Haven. You are one of the invited guests. Welcome to the Metaverse...       Join PolyCon on Saturday, February 5, 2000 for this incredible Live Action Role Playing Event! You'll have the chance to play a hacker, AI, or corporate head in a world inspired by books and films such as Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Ghost in the Shell, and The Matrix.
