Ownership, mainly. Horizon swallowed NewsCorp (HT) and thus now owns the Obelisk (30 Karma to anyoen who gets THAT film reference, by the way). Camelot is now Novatech's (NeoNet's) Station, as Nova gobbled up Fuchi Space (They even let FS keep it's name as of Corp Download).
However, we've also had some total losses. Zurich-Orbital crashed during the 2nd Crash. Helios was lost too. Actually, many space stations suffered crew death due to their computers displaying bluescreens. Luckily, despite all the financial hardship with rebuilding the planet's electronic infrastructure from scratch and all the other fun the Crash briought about, people not only had the money to put up several new arcologies, but also shot up several new space stations to replace those who were never conceived with backup computer systems, like Aztech's Tlaloc. |

Is Lofwyr the dragon formerly known as Denairastas? If not, what happened to Denairastas?
(In my opinion he's not. But some people really want him to be. However there are some parallels. Golden scales and so on...) |

Lofwyr is referenced in the ED:Dragons description of Alamaise, and that reference would be extremly unfitting if he was also the Outcast. Plus the Outcast is described as a (comparativly) small great dragon, while Lofwyr is one of the oldest, and therefore largest.
The Outcast has golden-shimmering scales and black claws. If he didn´t have great status, I´d consider Calozerca, but that one is only an adult. |

I'd say he was killed during the down-cycle by the elves. Was it Aina Dupree or one of the other female IE's who master-minded that one?
Has there ever been a actual explanation of Dragons and IE's hating eachother, other than that they're both races of opportunistic machiavellian power-mongers who can't share? |

Orange Queen and Laughing Man seemed to get along pretty well. Online at least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

My question is, how the hell does Richard Villiers continue to be successful in the face of so much adversity???? Is he the 4th Coin of Luck (Or whichever one covers prosperity) in human form? |

I think that the Outcast gets killed at some point during ED and his spirit is bound into some sort of vessel, he breaks out during the middle ages possesses the head of the Templars and starts the Black Lodge, and possibly the dragon hunters. This is all based on conversation with Synner. My question is - So Adam Alone, the Ork artist pictured in SR2 and mentioned as having introduced the Big D to Nadja Davier, is Garlthrik One Eye from Earthdawn right? (just to make AH spit feathers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) Also what happened to Ms Davier (and her brown nipples). |

QUOTE (BookWyrm @ Jun 16 2008, 04:51 AM) If you shoot a corp-guard & there's no-one around, does it still count? Will there ever be transformable drones? (an actual question posed to me by another player) Its corpse-guard. Watch your spelling. And yes, but only if your smartguns camera is running. My runners request the adress of your player. As cool as transformers are, he now has to die. |

well, one would only have to figure out the mechanics for the transforming itself . . everything else you need for a transformer is in there allready . . same goes for mask vehicles . . i'm kinda hoping for Frank Trollman for example to make something up after his work on cyber-limbs *g*

I just re-read SR4's history lesson and there's nothing in there about the Z-OH crashing and the corp court justices on board dying. Hell, of anyone, you'd think they had a backup system. |
