Did we mess up? Options

[Jtuxyan]

Our runner group consists of a technomage, a cybered up troll thug, an elven infiltrator, an ork mage, and a bunkered rigger (me!). For the first part of this run, our mission is to steal a commlink from some ork pop-star during a concert in the badlands, with that orks old gang running security.

The DM tells us right off there are over 1000 heavily armed fans in attendance, plus security, plus four drones buzzing around, and he'll outright say were butchered if we try to fight our way through that.

So we start to argue about a plan, and after 20min of OOC chat, the DM yells that an hour has passed IC and we have to get our butts in gear or the concert will end. I try to sneak in, but the DM tells me that the odds of a drone getting in as a guest are between zero and none, and that haveing a drone smash through the wall would be a bad idea. The rest of the party is having about as much luck.

Frustrated, I OMWTF the rigger running the drones in cybercombat and steal them. The DM says he immediately sets off an alarm, security panics, and a fight breaks out amongst the ork fans.

In the confusion, the mage and infiltrator manage to get in, steal the commlink, and get out.

In a technical sense, the mission was a smashing success, we got what we wanted, were not ID'ed by security, and got a nice bonus from hawking the drones.

But, we fought amongst ourselves, essentially acting as individuals. We say that's because the DM rushed us, and we didn't have time to plan. The DM says it's because we suck.

There's another issue as well. The way we see it, all they know is that some punk hacker knocked out their (fairly pathetic) rigger, and in the insuing riot, a few drones and personal effects went missing. The GM says that they'll know it was a shadowrunner team.

So, what's the conclusion? Did we do good, and the GM was stacking the deck? Or do we need to work harder as a group?
