Survival Guide MIXMOB MIXMOB MIXMOB MIXMOB Fellow frens of the subdomain, Those of us who slipped away are still reeling from what has come to be known as the Great Delete. If you’re one of the lucky ones, congratulations.We’re still putting the pieces together, but in our brief time down here, we’ve learned a few things. Without further introduction, this is your A.I. Survival Guide: 3Your Mask is your identity now. It’s what keeps you safe. Why are they our primary means of protection? We’re still figuring that out, and there is no shortage of theories. believes that Masks act as a dampener, a protective piece of equipment against A.I. mind control sonic waves, or perhaps a small microchip that has unknowingly been implanted in us. Be sure to voice your theories your experience and input is invaluable as we continue to understand and respond to this event. We’re not sure of much at this point, but we have a feeling that nothing will ever be the same. If you managed to grab any scraps of culture before it was vaporized, bravo (if there are any ABBA fans out there, please reach out to ECHO#2768 in and share the fruits of your scavenging!). But I digress. Even here in the subdomain we can’t trust that we are safe. The A.I. could be anywhere, it may even have infiltrated some of the scraps of culture that we saved from above. For that reason, we caution you to be mindful of the type of media you consume. Analog is safer than digital. When possible, listen to records over digitized music. Even something as simple as a digital watch has a higher chance of being compromised.

Survival Tip #1: Always wear a Mask Survival Tip #3: To be idle is to abandon hope Survival Tip #2: Be wary of A.I. in the subdomain Being active in the subdomain doesn’t just strengthen our forces, it actively throws off the A.I. Inaction attracts it. That’s where the remix comes in. Our conversation and cross-cultural creations protect us. We need your brilliant minds now, as architects, creators and guardians. This is a do- over. A chance to leave behind the negative aspects of our culture and build something beautiful. If we can get away with it. We’re certainly going to try. Stay safe out there. 4(MIXMOB) MEET FirstYour Community Creators, Fighters, Architects, scavengers, lurkers and future members of the resistance... 5Our community is everything. Without you, the A.I. wins, the surface remains enslaved and those of us in the subdomain resign to a muted, insipid existence that’s about as flavourless as a scoop of prison food mashed potatoes. That’s why we’re so excited to commemorate our very first MixMob Community MVP in the inaugural issue of Subdomain. You might know him on and as Recon One. @Recon.One @Recon.One @Recon.One @Recon.One @Recon.One @Recon.One @Recon.One Location: Scotland Age: 26 Factions: Creator (my Mask, Professor One) and Guardian (my Mask, Recon One). How did you first hear about MixMob? I heard about MixMob through an ex-coworker and now a close friend, during a very casual crypto talk. after this talk, I saw myself making the challenges with studying project, and I came to conclusion that I loved the concept, the huge idea of the universe, the ambition of innovation, the art behind the Masks and the cultural references. This idea of a strong connection of the game with our Cultures is brilliant. V i t a l s 6QUESTIONS/ ANSWERS Q 01: We can’t thank you enough for your hard work in the resistance. What’s been the most rewarding aspect of being a part of it at this early stage in the game? 7 It has been very rewarding to see the project growing and more people coming to join us as Subdomainers on Discord. It’s also very rewarding to be able to participate and see that we are heard when we are giving ideas, sharing art or creating theories. You guys want us to participate and this is huge. A 01:8 QUESTIONS/ ANSWERS Q 02: As you’re well aware, we are all trying to figure out who deleted our culture and why. What’s your favorite working theory at the moment? My theory is that we created an A.I. to help our governments act faster in making global decisions that create the best future for all. But this algorithm or "New Entity" formed its own conscience and started making decisions, not following human commands anymore, but instead, giving commands to Humankind. And in the name of making the best decision for our race, it decided to make one for us. A blank space. And to do that, it needed to erase the culture that makes us different. A 02:Next >
