QUOTE (Rotbart van Dainig @ Feb 22 2010, 07:40 PM)  You mean Activesoft - and pirated means 10%. That was probaly the only point of that change in SR4A… and unfortunately the one that ruined the economic viability of skillwires for corporations that don't produce their own Activesofts. Aside from the fact that Activesoft are not so much programmed as compiled from recordings - Hacking is a lifestyle. So is keeping your open source software up to date and on the cutting edge, and is actually hacking; downloading illegal software is just social networking, and maybe some cracking. |

QUOTE (Ancient History @ Feb 21 2010, 08:40 AM) Guys, y'all can mix DMSO with soap flakes if you just want to poison somebody. There's nothing special about that. That's one reason the stuff is so damn dangerous to work with IRL. Even just the oils and dirt on your hands is enough to make you sick if you spill some DMSO on yourself (I speak from experience). GMs - take note of this for glithches and critical glitches. Also realize that DMSO doesn't immediately dry up. Leaving a doped DMSO cocktail on door knobs, car doors, etc. is another way to deliver your compound of choice. It's also good for making slap patches. Lastly, consider that DMSO is a very good organic solvent and works on a wide variety of substances. This makes it very common in laboratory settings. And it's usually stored next to things that will kill you if they get into your blood stream. And it's affects are widely known by people working with the stuff. Remember that next time you invade a corp research lab. QUOTE (Stahlseele @ Feb 21 2010, 12:25 PM) Hmm, mixing DMSO with one's own pheromone-stuff-laced-sweat? QUOTE (Ancient History @ Feb 21 2010, 12:27 PM) Considering you can't smell with your skin, I doubt that would have quite the desired effect. I'd say it might work. After all, mixing garlic with DMSO let's you taste the garlic after putting a drop of the solution on your arm (yes, this really works). You wouldn't smell the pheromones, but they would wind up in your blood stream, which is, in part what happens when you inhale them anyways. If anything, I'd be worried about an overdose. |

Not that it requires DMSO... or very much substance, but nitro paste would be a pretty effective way to knock someone out as well. I've seen a nurse get light-headed and almost pass out after they forgot to use gloves with the stuff.

Edit: Of course, you have to make sure the DMSO won't interact with the other materials that make up your patch, possibly including any adhesive. |

The DMSO + [toxin] trick has been around for ages. It was introduced in Shadowtech, which was published for SR2 in '93.
Personally, I miss the ELD-AR. Imagine a paintball gun using SR firearms tech (like smartgun) and chemical paintballs. Seems much more plausable than chemical bullets from a pistol if you ask me. |

Wasn't the ELD-AR in the Corporate Security handbook?

This kind of thing was actually known as "pooling" at Grateful Dead shows. People sometimes got kicks by tossing cupfuls of liquid LSD on unsuspecting folk -- the "squarer", the better.
Or so I've heard... |
