Baby, this town rips the bones from your back;

We gotta get out while we're young,

Welcome to the Sympathy for the Devil OOC thread. The IC thread should be posted tomorrow; Thursday, October the 15th. Please use this space for all game-related out of character discussion, including strategy and general chat. If possible, I'd like to ask everyone to please re-post their final, approved character sheets below, so they're that much easier to locate.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone again for showing interest in this project. The CharGen phase of this game went surprisingly quickly, and the submissions were impressive across the board. If there's any one thing I can ask of you as the GM, it would be to please be patient with me; Shadowrun is a new game for me, and while I believe I have a pretty firm grasp on both the setting thematic and the rules, only time will tell. I will always be open to your suggestions and criticisms, so don't be afraid to be vocal. My primary goal here is to help facilitate the creation of something memorable; something worth reading even for people who aren't involved in the story.

And, parallel to that, I want everyone to enjoy themselves. If anyone decides, after we've started, that they're just not having any fun with my game world, I want you to know you're free to leave at any time; no hard feelings. It would be silly of me to expect every player who signs up to share or even accept my vision of the Sixth World. Thankfully, we've got enough skill overlap in most areas to allow for some player churn. So don't sweat it if it's just not your style.

So, with that said, I'm heading off to bed for the night. See you guys in game tomorrow.

I hate to say it, but it's better than the Philippines.

Call me `Sam` if you want, don`t call me `son`. Samson Bahaghari. Yes, good for you, you can use a search engine: it means sun and rainbow. Aren`t I just?

Home? Oh I'm sure things have changed since the hapon retreated. But maybe not for the better. Family moved to Seattle, actually... Vancouver, years ago. We drifted here. Tatay died on the boat ride over, but not before he gambled away our refugee papers.

But we got through it. And for a few years we were good. Then I... became me. My inay never looked at me the same way, so I left. Made a name for myself on the streets.

Then she disappeared, leaving my two siblings all alone. Just went up and left they said, middle of the night. They called me right then and brought me right back in their lives. Those two don't know that mom had been calling me, begging me to lend her money but I needed it just then. The shadows feeds off blood and nuyen after all.

But I wasn't going to let my brother and sister, dalawa kong kapatid, starve. Drek.

I had the money too. You know, the bills weren't getting paid even with my mom working overtime. Beetles, hate the stuff. No choice, no choice but to move, and to move on. Found a decent place, bad neighbourhood, but the two should be alright. There's even a free school nearby, one of those corp-sponsored charities. First thing I taught them, though, was how to aim their matching pair of Defiance EX Shockers and Colt Manhunters.

Hey, bad neighbourhood. I gotta get them fitted for some armoured clothes.

They got food, real fresh food, clean water, free electricity, and beds. Even got them each their own commlinks, not that old too. They know to keep it hidden, carried only to contact one of us or to be used at home. Show it to someone and it's as good as gone... that's why I got them even cheaper ones the first time so they'd learn.

I don't know where my mom is. She won't be able to find us if she managed to make her way back to her place, track us down to that hellhole we lived in for a while, or to our new home. If she's even alive. Hell, I should be looking for her shouldn't I? I got some leads.

Yeah, we're moving on up! A nicer part of the Barrens, pfft. Trust me, it's an improvement. No one looks twice if they see teens with guns, and that's just fine with me.

The gang understands, we do this for our family and mine needed to get out of that gutter. New 'hood, new place... no gangs. Quit my job too, just when I was cultivating my own fanbase. Ahh, they love me, they really do! Hahahaha. Rizal's showing me how to get this on the matrix, spread myself a bit farther than a dinky old club.

Looking for something? That's right, no tats, no ink or piercings. Not a fan, not a ganger... anymore. But there are others here that know me without needing tags. My old crew. Local kids, all, or what's left of them. All looking to get the hell out of there. To make that score that gets them noticed. Aren't we all?

I'm getting my bro and sis out of here. Don't get in my way.

Appearance

[ Spoiler ]

Light brown skin, dark hair in a messy, short cut. Well groomed despite the sometimes rough clothing. Dark brown eyes on a youthful face. Tall compared to humans and average to other orks. Not quite as bulky either, underneath that armoured jacket. A set of goggles rest on his forehead or hang on his neck, and odd weapons are arrayed all over his body.

The 'shotgun' he gets his nickname from has changed over time. Right now, the heavily modified Enfield AS-7 rests just above this right shoulder, for quick access. Opposite it on the left shoulder is one of paired Ares Gunblades, its partner hanging comfortably from his left hip, both in matching quickdraw holsters. Strapped to his right thigh is a Colt Manhunter, mostly for show, partly for identity as his younger (human) siblings have the same weapon and holster. This is his 'street look'.

His urban-pattern camo suit is what he wears to work, looking like an urban ninja (though don't tell him that). He loses the Colt and either brings the massive Enfield or the beat-up but functional Ingram Laser V SMG instead. The blades always come with him. The goggles are stuck firmly on.

The new 'hood he's moved into doesn't require his 'street look's' overt hostility, and Samson has adapted. He still wears the blades openly, but the Colt's holster is underneath a leather jacket worn atop an orange and blue Urban Explorer Jumpsuit. The jacket's not brought out on the rare warm days of course. A pair of shades completes the package.

When out meeting new people, he wears a classy and finely cut suit. Tres chic in many circles, so much so that the armoured vest is hardly noticeable. Samson isn't the type to carry concealed weapons, so he straps on his shotgun and leaves it in someone's care if it becomes an issue.

Contacts

[ Spoiler ]

"Tito Boy", Human, Fixer (2/2)
Alberto Sison, known jokingly as "Tito Boy" amongst his filipino contacts, gave Samson his first real break. That is, in the shadows. Truthfully, Samson was meant to be a disposable asset but he performed above expectations. Tito Boy has his hands in everything, being as close as the fractured filipino community in Seattle can get to a low level mafia boss. Sam feels he has "utang na loob" a personal debt to pay and is quite loyal to him. Alberto Sison has contacts with japanese corps that he wisely keeps secret from Sam.

Colette McKenna, Elf, Street Mage (1/1)
A mystic adept in the downward cycle of her life, Colette has been through the shadows and worse. She makes a minor living as a talislegger and offers her services for magical healing. It came as a complete surprise to Samson that she too knew Arnis de Mano, a lot more of it in fact that he himself knew. He stops by occasionally for practice sparring and sometimes has a talisman or telesma on hand. No questions.

Jane "Pip" Browne, Troll, "Community Centre Leader" / Gang Member (1/1)
Known for her calm demeanour and sense of humour, Jane is an anomaly in the Barrens. Head of Sam's old neighbourhood community centre she organizes events and attracts corporate investment to the people of the area. Investments that at least benefit the people as much as the corp. Sam believes her to be a puppet for someone else, perhaps unwittingly, and worked to get her into the same gang as he. She doesn't display the affiliation but she relies on its members, and Sam, for support at times.

Rizal Bahaghari, Human, Younger Brother (0/0)
Named after a filipino national hero, Rizal is constantly under his big brother (kuya) Samson's shadow. He tells his twin sister Judith that it doesn't bother him, and it doesn't. She doesn't believe him. A fair shot with the Colt Manhunter and Samson's Remington 950, Rizal seems to be the brains of the family. He has a much-gossiped-about crush on a Ms. Anna Grace, living in the same building as they and attending the same church. Has a pet mini-drone salvaged from various parts, by the name of Puffles (due to the puffs of smoke it emits).

Judith Bahaghari, Human, Younger Sister (0/0)
A tomboy and a heartbreaker, Judith has Samson's rebellious flare and her grandmother's charms for whom she's named after. A much better shot than Rizal, her interests lie in interacting with other people. Funny, bright, and inquisitive, she has more often than not been the cause of many situations the two often find themselves in. Samson has had to scare off more than a few young admirers. She also has Samson's musical talent, both inherited from their grandparents.

Contacts:
Matsu Hideki (Johnson) 4/2
A sharply dressed mid-level Johnson that operates out of the Bad Juju Lounge in Seattle. Pretty obvious there's some serious power behind him, but whether it's AAA or Yakuza, nobody knows (or nobody's talkin'). He caters primarily to smugglers, but Shadowrunners of all sorts find their way to Hideki's table sooner or later. Nobody meets him without being frisked by his bodyguards first. There are no exceptions.

Jake 'JJ' Johnson (Bartender & Street-Level Fixer) 3/4
A tall, handsome guy with short, brown hair. JJ is one of the bartenders of the Concrete Beach nightclub, who is upping his salary by working as a fixer. While he is not super successful, he gets to know a lot of people through his job, which makes acquiring new contacts and customers quite a breeze. A few years ago, he had a short relationship with Mel, but things didn't quite work out. They did stay friends afterwards, however.

Kassandra (Talismonger) 2/1
An old amerindian dog shaman, who operates a talismonger shop in Takoma.

Appearance:
Raven is an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties. She is of average height and has a slender and willowy figure, with shoulder-long, black hair, typically worn open or in a pony tail. Her green eyes are usually covered behind a pair of orange-colored sunglasses. She mostly dresses in black, but her wardrobe also includes a wide range of fancy clothes. Thanks to her job, she is quite used to wearing fairly revealing clothes, and she doesn't really mind the attention it offers. Her standard dress consists of trendy, washed-out denim pants, a black halter top, fashionable black leather boots with modest heels and her black mid-length trench coat. On her left wrist she often wears a silver bracelet with intricate engravings, her power focus, and there are a few rings on her fingers at most times.

Background:
A traumatic experience in the past left her in a state that few manage to get out of. Hooked up to BTLs and with no motivation or drive left, she was basically destined to wither and fade. Noone would have cared. But Mel was lucky, and she made it out. At first, she didn't think it was real (and even nowadays, where she knows better, she isn't entirely sure), or just a figment of her drug-induced imagination. Whatever it was, it made her curious and it made her follow. It made her take the first few steps of what would become a new life, eventually.

It took a few years, while she learned a lot from her new mentor, until she was ready for a more civilized life. Time heals many a wound, and so it did for her. These things lie in the past now, buried and forgotten. The change she went through made her an entirely new person.

Thanks to JJ, with whom Mel had a rather short-lived relationship, she was able to secure a job in the Concrete Beach nightclub in the southern parts of Downtown Seattle; not the best job, but there are worse, and it pays the rent. She is still unsure, whether there was some kind of revenge for their breakup involved, that she now has to deliver drinks to the patrons in a fairly skimpy outfit in front of his grinning face, but on the other hand, there wasn't much else available at the time, so she took the opportunity for what it was. As already mentioned, it pays the rent. JJ also managed to get her a fake identification, which was required to get employed and to rent the loft she lives in now. He also introduced her into the shadows, and an entirely new source of income, where her gift is a highly sought-after talent.

Lifestyle:
Got this nice place in southern Downtown, Seattle. Old warehouse, now a so-called loft, top floor. Pretty fancy and laid-back at the same time. And let me tell you, it's huge. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford a lot of furniture, yet, so it's only sparsely decorated, but it has all you need. Well, most of it. And I rather spend my money on decent food, really, and to get around town, chill, have some fun. And fashion shopping, of course. While it's not the best neighborhood, it's not the worst either. And as it seems, the security has the area rather low on their priority list, but the locks and stuff are pretty much state of the art. The Matrix connection is really slow for some reason, too. But as a plus, the rent is more than fair. And it does have a nice view towards Sea-Tac through an all-glass front. Of course, that goes both ways. Had to put up some room seperators to get some privacy. While I'm certainly not too shy and bashful about myself, there are limits, understood? Underneath, there is a secure parking facility, got two places there. Plenty room for the car and even the bike. Overall, it's been a very good deal.

Inspiration:
The Raven by the Alan Parsons Project
(based on the famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe)

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke that one word
That I shall hear for evermore

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven Nevermore

Sophie Mcallister

Background Information:

[ Spoiler ]

Sophie is a young up-and-coming auto mechanic living and working with her uncle. Like any normal young girl Sophie decided to leave home and strike out on her own. Even with years of experience working in her uncle's shop, she found it almost impossible to find steady work in the outside world and she soon found herself considering moving back home, but her pride kept her in place... and kept her struggling for food and shelter.
After the sudden disappearance of her father, Sophie decided to return to her uncle's shop, not only to help out, but also to dig for information on the whereabouts of her Dad.

The contacts she made through the shop (she and her uncle had a strict 'don't ask don't tell' policy that was greatly appreciated throughout the gangs in the area) were integral in her search for answers, and she found more and more information leading her into the shadows. She soon found herself all but addicted to the thrill of anonymity. That, coupled with the search for her father, draw her into the shadows.

Kid Hollywood

[ Spoiler ]

Demographics
Street Name: “Kid Hollywood”, “the Hollywood Kid” or just “Hollywood”
Real Name: Uriah Hawkins
Alias: William Harden, Jesse McLaine, others.
Race: Human
Age: 24
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 70 kg

Background

[ Spoiler ]

My real name’s Uriah, like in the Bible because my momma was the religious type. Everybody calls me ‘Hollywood’, though, on account of I spent some time in that shithole. I had myself a little “misunderstanding” with a couple boys from the ‘Star awhile back. Course, in the end they saw things my way, if you get my meaning…

I was born and raised down in Phoenix, in the PCC. My dad was a drinker, and my mom thought it was her calling to change him. Course, he beat her senseless whenever she had enough backbone to take her face outta that damn Bible. Needless to say I stole my ol’ man’s gun and ran away to Denver as soon as I could. I spent some time running with a gang, just like all the other punks out there. Eventually I found work running guns outta Cheyenne. Made the run to Seattle more than a few times, before I had that aforementioned “misunderstanding”. I’ve been round these parts ever since.

I’m sure you’re wondering what it is I do. Well I’ll tell ya, chummer- I’m the fastest gunslinger this side of the Cascades. I’ve killed me 24 men already - one for every year I’ve been alive so far - and that doesn’t count ghouls. I have what you might call “natural talent” – a gift, but it sure as hell ain’t from God.

In fact I’m pretty good at just about everything, and lucky too, especially with the cards. Well, mostly anyway. I’ve had a bit of a dry spell lately, so I’m into Four Finger Freddy for 5 large. He’s still got all his fingers, in case you’re wondering. But most people aren’t so lucky after doing business with Freddy. Its nothing to worry about though- all I need is one good pay out, either at the table or on the streets, and I’ll have his money. It’ll be no sweat.

Now, pass me a shot of that tequila and deal me in, chummer. I’ve got bills to pay.

Description

[ Spoiler ]

Hollywood is a youthful Caucasian human with shoulder length black hair, blue-grey eyes and a slight build. He speaks (a lot) with a South Western accent. He's full of swagger and tall tails, but gun fighting is the only thing he's really good at. He generally wears jeans and a tee shirt with biker boots and variably a leather motorcycle jacket or duster-style long coat, depending on the occasion. A matching pair of customized Cavalier Deputies are always holstered at his hips in ornate real leather gun belts, and he often carries a short barreled shotgun slung across his back. His appearance would be almost anachronistic, except for the commlink and other modern electronics that punctuate his unique style. On runs he wears a black bandana tied around his face to help conceal his identity.

Rev

[ Spoiler ]

Demographics
Street Name: “Rev”, “Bubf” as in Butt Ugly but FAST, "Sans Merci", "Draesis" Wheel in Sperethiel, or “Bandit (as in One armed)”
Real Name: Elena Portina
Alias: Jessica Spada, Esmeralda Forza, Ms.Jessica (matrix receptionist at Harrison) Mala Zora, New Eyes (Matrix handle), Daisy Dewleaf (matrix

"Entertainer") others.
Race: Elf
Age: 22
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 55 kg
Sex: Female

Background

[ Spoiler ]

Rev remembers a better time before the corps drove her dad's engineering company out of business.
Maybe it was suicide maybe not.

Her mom tried real hard and they might have made it except for the cancer.
Something that could have treated if they could have afforded decent medical care.

Riding was her main way of dealing with it.

After her Mom's death, She ended up with her father's half brother.
That didn't last long after he came home drunk one night.

She took to the streets and never came back.

Got herself beat in to a local go gang. She didn't care.
Her teeth had problems, her nose of a little long so she was used to being plain.

She was teased about it but soon earned the handle BUBF (Butt Ugly but FAST) from the way she rode.

She worked her way up and the gang started to move up in the world.

Her main input, Greased had done a tour in the army and picked up a lot. He has also grown up in the streets and knew them like the back of his hand. She

picked up some serious moves. He soon replaced the old gang boss when his chip habit sent him in to a Dataterm. She became his number two but she made it on

her own chops.


Things were starting to happen, and like any little fish if you swim too close to the giants and you get crushed.

A Johnson and the number three, a hedge mage name Bets, betrayed them. Set them up to take the fall while they disappeared with the paydata.

Most of her family died that day.

She went under a truck after having her front tire shoot out and ended up a paraplegic with a stump for a left arm.

A wounded Greased got her to a street Doc, friend of his named Harrison, but was pick up by the original owners the next day.

He was never seen again.
The J and the betrayer disappeared.

Harrison put what was left of her back together. Harrison ran a charity clinic on the side and took her on as a project doing the work for free.

For over two year she worked jacked in and did what she could for the clinic. She also did what ever it took to get enough to cred for what Harrison needed

for the next stage. She tries not to think about it too much. She did learn some serious social moves and can sleaze with the best of them.

He rebuilt her face and replaced her missing teeth. She was the clay while he created his master piece. She still doesn't recognize her face in the mirror.

Too bad he doesn't ride that way.

He was finally was able to restore feeling to her legs by installing some expensive if used cyberware and some serious debt.

And another six months to get back in to half way decent shape. She is still weak and clumsy but she has ware to take care of that. Her moves are coming

back. And jacked in to her bike, it plain doesn't matter.

She is still 15K in debt (including interest).

A few score gets her rep started in her new life.

She is looking to get free and clear and then it will be on to unfinished business.

Description

[ Spoiler ]

Rev is a dark haired elven former go ganger. Fairly short and stalky as for an elf, she has been accused of being a poser (but not since her new face).

She is very beautiful now but hides it most of the time under goggles, grime, and a little axle grease. Cleans up real nice.
Most of her ware is second hand but well maintained. She does have a good street doc as a contact.
The arm can display any of several tattoo images. The hand on her synthetic cyber arm was damaged and doesn't have the skin layer.
She has a skin glove she wears and she wears a glove over that (often fingerless).
Favors a long coat and leathers when not working.
See the Runners Companion cover for her picture.

She is face and muscle with some minor speed enhancements and a synthetic cyberarm that is fast as lighting.
She is good with a blade or an automatic.
Knows at least a little about the Seattle underworld and gang scene. Also knows a lot about staying under the radar.
She is still recovering from a serious crash that left her a paraplegic for two years.
Able to fit in almost any place and able to get in to most places if she turns up the charm.

Loves her bike. Loves making her bike go fast.
Hit the streets at age 14. She still vaguely remembers a middle class life before her father's engineer firm was put out of business by a corp. She has a

serious dislike for corp execs but will take their cred and do their dirty work.

Hatch - Ancients Arms Dealer (Loy. 1 Con. 3) elf female (as in works out of her Hatchback (usually driven by an under age recruit). She rarely leaves her

bike during neogations but has some good antisurveilance gear on it.
Hatch looks like a typical blond dandilion eater go ganger Sl*tch but she knows her weapons and how to drive a hard bargain. Add in the Ancients weapons

running connections and if she does not have it she can get it in 72 hours. Rev never got a long with her, but knows she will deal straight with her just

because she is an elf and to protect the Ancient's reputation. She also knows she will be paying just a little bit extra because the feelings are mutual, but

you get what you pay for.

Harrison - Street Doc (Loy. 5 Con. 3) human male
Also Harrison runs his "office" to pay for a little charity clinic on the side. He is well loved in the neighborhood. "What have you done to yourself this

time?" Harrison is human and looks a little like Harrison Ford and seen it all. He is a former plastic surgeon until his chip habit got the better of him. It

was a spectacular burnout. Harrison has a very muscular dwarf assistant named Swede that helps him and keeps order (Swede is a rather good looking blond

dwarf with more than a passing resemblance to a very short Senator Arnold Schwarzenegger. Except... he is seriously in to leathers, spikes, and piercings. He

is also clean shaven.). They are very close and Swede was instrumental in helping Harrison get clean. Swede also "helped" Rev with her physical therapy and

she has a love hate relationship with the short blond sadist who gave her the nickname Bandit (as in one armed). "Is the little girly girl all tired out?

Does the skinny hooped Dandilion eater not have any muscles?"

Matsu Hideki - Johnson (loy. 2 Con. 4) human male
A sharply dressed mid-level Johnson that operates out of the Bad Juju Lounge in Seattle. Pretty obvious there's some serious power behind him, but whether

it's AAA or Yakuza, nobody knows (or nobody's talkin'). He caters primarily to smugglers, but Shadowrunners of all sorts find their way to Hideki's table

sooner or later. Nobody meets him without being frisked by his bodyguards first. There are no exceptions.

You better turn and run away because you're the evil.
We will keep on hunting you.
killing.
So what more do you want from me?
We will carry the weight that you can't carry.
Talk your sh*t about us.
We don't give a f*ck anyway.
You'll be the one to cry.
You'll be the one to fade.

So how are we going to communicate during our meet?

I think Rev will be our best negotiator (and maybe this time she will get the better of Matsu Hideki).


I guess we want some one there early to check it out.
And someone (or some thing) on the outside to keep an eye on things.

Other than not packing heat (cause of the frisking) on the way to his table what is the dress code of Bad JuJu Lounge?


Edit: Hey I'm first (OK I cheated but that is just getting in to character)
And we will need someone to hold our heat while we talk to him.

Perhaps send 3 up and hold 4 back to cover.

I'm assuming that the 35K is split 7 ways.

[Marwynn]

I'm up for scouting the place early, Samson's really not the type to walk into a place without seeing exits (natural and potential) for himself. If you guys would prefer he hang outside, that's cool too.

Did we determine how well we knew each other? Are we already a group? 7 Dice to throw for Social tests, so he may be able to bluff his way past some nosy people outside.

[milk ducks]

also can I request that we disable signatures when posting in the game threads? It makes these threads so much easier to read and it helps with suspension of disbelief.

Sure thing, we can do that.

Other than not packing heat (cause of the frisking) on the way to his table what is the dress code of Bad JuJu Lounge?

Here's an official description of the Bad JuJu Lounge:

Once a standalone bar, the Bad Juju Lounge has moved into Neumo's, one of Seattle's premier music venues, and the marriage is a happy one. Separated from the live sounds of the club, this full bar offers a comfortable spot to chill out before, during and after the show. Nightly DJs serve up music in varying degrees & flavors of rock, and a plethora of plush sofas make weary show-watching feet happy. Keeping with the original location, the surroundings are embellished with New Orleans voodoo art and complemented by local artisans' glasswork and iron sculptures.

So, you could wear just about anything to this place, I think.

And here's a link to that same page. It includes some pictures from inside the club, and a pretty bad ass T-shirt bearing their logo.

I'm assuming that the 35K is split 7 ways.

Yeah, it's an intentionally low figure. I'm assuming some negotiation will go down at the meet.

-milk.

[Karoline]

Not that 5k each is that horrid considering this is a low powered game.

[DigitalOYABUN]

To finally answering Method's question (just saw it), if I were to steal from a teammate it would be inconsequental things like lighters, but as he is quite a good pickpocket and most in the barrens use only credsticks....he'll not need to rely on his mates for practice. But, if your lighters missing its a good bet its him lol

[Thanee]

Yep, and considering what some think is appropriate for this kind of work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

P.S.

49°F (9°C)

Thanks for this, BTW! So I don't have to look it up to know the temperature. Yay! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Thanee]

Did we determine how well we knew each other? Are we already a group?

That's the most important thing to figure out at this point, I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- Do we know each other? I suppose so.
- How long do we know each other? Could be varying a bit, some might have been acquainted even before the first job together.
- How many jobs did we do already? Considering we are pretty new, no more than a handful, obviously.

Bye
Thanee

Depends on the risk involved.

But it is a month or two of living expenses and a way to keep Four Fingers happy.



We need to be clear on the ground rules such as they are. Good ground rules make good teams.

I'll throw out a few suggestions and you guys tear them apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)



How do we handle medical bills and lost gear?

I mean I'd rather the rigger being more worried about covering my hoop on the way out than on how she is going to pay for a replacement drone. Same goes for the hacker.

Say top 50% of a run's payoff goes to cover damages (up to replacement cost)? Does that count ammo?


Second

Also everyone gets paid living or dead (if you are not there to collect your share of cred goes in to a predetermined blind account you've previously setup)?


Third

No on the side paydata give aways or transactions. No on the side looting.

Anything connected to a run is potentially dangerous and we should all know if and when the drek will hit the rotatory cooling unit.
Any thing connected to a run could be valuable and we all deserve a share and we all should know the level of risk involved.

Fourth Disposing of stuff

Personally I'd rather get less and know it wouldn't come back to haunt us.

Speaking of anyone get a good fence that can make hot stuff disappear without ratting us out?

[DigitalOYABUN]

I have a fence at loyalty 2, not the greatest, but hey.

Also, I dont mind all the rules except......you guessed it number 3. Now, I wont hold out on anyone...rats run in packs, but looting will be done on my part. Its in my characters nature (not to mention totem) to loot,steal, hiest, jack or otherwise pillage his filthy black heart out (oh sorry for the Captain Sparrow monologue) Not saying he's a klepto and its compulsive, but you might need to remind him it isnt the proper time for that. Of course he'll always have a cousin who needs/wants/interested in getting one of those [insert item name]

Gets too bad and we can stick an old fashion mouse trap in our pockets just to keep him honest (around us).

Reminds me of my aunt who was a cancer ward nurse.

She died last year, but when we were talking to her coworkers, we found out that she was quite the pickpocket and practical joker.

Like to take her coworkers pens (right out of their pockets), take the pen mechanism out, and put the empty shell back in to her victims pockets.

Looting is fine as long as we all know that it is going on and he avoids the easy to trace stuff.

It was more a reaction to one game where the rigger unbeknown to the rest of the team, informed a pirate network of what the evil experiments the big bad corp had paid them to clean up betraying their employer, her team mates, and leaving them hanging in the wind with a AAA corp known for making heart felt examples despite a low ROI.

Given that, can we agree that there will be times and places where we don't want to take anything but what we came for?

"Chum. Ramone, my cousin has been lookin' all over for one of these."

So how are we going to communicate during our meet?

Typing text into commlink for me (no datajack). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think Rev will be our best negotiator.

I think she is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And we will need someone to hold our heat while we talk to him.
Perhaps send 3 up and hold 4 back to cover.

As I understand, we will all need to be there.

I also don't really see why we would need cover? Maybe on the (potential) meet after the run. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
