I didn't want to derail the other SIN thread, so I'll pen my own.
Understandably, we focus alot on the runner aspect of SINs, why we need to create fake ones to 'stick it to the man' and breeze past locations. But then I started thinking, how do non-runners handle it. Given how it happens nowadays, and the increase in...well..temptations...in the 2070s setting, how do high muckitymucks or even sorta-high-up-on-the food-chain types pull off the shenanigans of illicit behavior? Going to the strip club, hooking up with Candy and her friend Mindy, secret rendezvous at the loveshack? Its a given that you have to have a commlink active in a Medium or higher rated zone, but if you're Mr. Corp VP and you don't want record of your visit to Mistress Naughties House of Pain, how do you do it? You can't go hidden, as you'll raise a flag. But I don't really see every badbadboy/girl running around with fake SINs either. On one hand, I guess this is why corps probably offer their own in house 'entertainment' to those they feel deserve it, so at least records of naughtiness sorta stays 'in house'. But obviously there's a criminal empire that runs on smut and blackmail, so high up enough people still go off the reservation. Paying with certified cred is easy, it'd be like using cash instead of your credit card at the stripclub/brothel, but given the focus on all-commlink all-the time, how do 'normals' pull off covert stuff? Is it just impossible by the rulesetting without them using their own hacker connections? |
