Now that Twilight Horizon is out, battle lines have been pretty firmly drawn. Netcat, Slamm-O! and Pistons are all going to be gunning for Clockwork, with whoever they can bring with them to the party.

"Horizon's plan to drive a wedge between the Jackpointers worked. Clockwork seems to be on board with it. Fastjack is getting annoyed and is about to start banning people."

Hmmm.  And while Horizon is diverting resources (and losing some) to deal with a minor issue, what is Saeder-Krupp doing?

That's the problem with powerful people deciding to reach down and smack around little people.  One, you never know exactly what those 'little people' might be able to do.  Two, it's a fight; even if Horizon can afford to lose the resources, it's losing resources in a fight that it didn't have to engage in.  Three, while Horizon is weakening itself (however slightly) in a battle with 'little people', their enemies (like S-K) won't be sitting back and watching the Trid.  They'll be looking for whatever advantage Horizon's battle with Jackpoint can provide them.  The odds are high that they'll find something.

What's going on (I don't have that book)?

Basically, Technomancers and AIs started trying to pressure Horizon to do more to help them get rights. Then they found out that Horizon was sabotaging their cause. Then they got angry. Then hell broke loose. Clockwork, being the bigot he is, saw this as the perfect time to care about the innocent lives the evil TMs were endangering, and tried to rally people to the crusade. It... didn't work.

And here I was thinking the Horizon threat was gone after FastJack wiped all their data on Jackpoint.

Guess they had backups they didn't find.

[Mirikon]

No, this isn't to do with Horizon spying on Jackpoint. That door is closed, for the time being. But just because Horizon isn't influencing the situation any more doesn't mean that everyone's going to come together and be one big happy family again. Especially since Clockwork was never that type to begin with.

When I said technomancers, I meant technomancers not involved with Jackpoint.

So what is the current fallout on Clockwork?

A lot of people on the JackPoint are getting the Day Job quality so they can "Punch The Clock" as often as possible.

I'm rereading Attitude currently, and it would seem Clockwork may have been affected by Tarder Hillman who is rumored to be a complicated psychological algorithm used by militaries to  brainwash enemy populations (pg 110). Tarder Hillman writes books for Horizon.
