The message did get out. Most of the attackers simply don't care. Others are waking up to find emergency beacon notifications, logging in, and starting to attack the oranges without realizing where they are. Those have been stopping once they do realize and apologizing, so props for them on both sides.

GiantDong has a message in the statuses that Justine has copied, and I'm going to copy it here so people can see.

At this point it seems somewhat doubtful whether we will achieve our goal of a peaceful gathering of both teams at ground zero. If we are unable to do this, it will be due to the actions of a very small group of players who oppose this demonstration.

We will deal with them later. They are truly insignificant. What I have realized over the past few hours is that this memorial is already a success. I have been privy to discussions in many orange and green threads and I can tell you the support from both sides has been absolutely overwhelming. Greens and OJs both allowing themselves to be banished multiple times to make this happen regardless of ceaseless fighting. We originially conceived of this event to remember the dead who are no longer with us, to honor the living, to mourn the death of a little more world-peace on that day and to contemplate the reverberations of this event through the lives of hundreds of millions of people over the past decade. We have done this. As an American, I understand that the rest of the world does not feel the same impact we do, but our brothers and sisters from every inhabited continent have supported this effort. You did not have to do this and we are profoundly moved. This is a game, but we are a community and you have shown the integrity and love of that community. I am awestruck. Thank you so much. Let's see if we can pull off this memorial as intended. If not, we will not have failed.

No Fire Zone beacons include:
John J DeLury Senior
New York City
Tribeca
Trinity
Bowling Green
Knickerbocker Village
Governor Nelson
Lower Manhattan
South Cove Park
East Arlington

This epic fail falls squarely on the Animators. Just look who 'owns everything south of Tribeca, and as we get pushed back, more and more gateways are going green. As you know, an Architect can no longer jump to an Animator controlled gateway, so considering ALL of lower manhattan is green, who's at fault?

Well, yeah, they're no fire zones now, because Architects can no longer get to them.

None of those names say "World Trade Center," so people might not realize where they are when they're at one of them. Both teams have running lists of the peace-violators. All we can do is try to make it work.

Thanks for coping it over Gabe and if you correspond with GiantDong tell him thx, classic move on his part!

The Animators set up the site first, got there first, and therefore had the benefit of attacking while the Architects were still trying to warp in. This isn't one side being more competent than the other, or one side being more inconsiderate than the other. This is plain and simple homefield advantage.

It looks to be all orange now. If the Animators tried to come back, I'm sure they would find the same problem.

I've put my tributes up, thanks for trying guys! It'd good to know that at least people from both sides were willing to take time to remember 9/11 victims! Everyone on both sides that did, should be proud to have done so!
