nah, not offended, thats to harsh a word... it was more a comment for future refrence then for my reaction. others may not take so lightly to it as i do (most of the time ;)). i was half expecting to be disproved, but i question the need to rub it in the way it seems your post does... |

Wasn't really meaning to rub it. It's hard to have any inflections or intonations online. It was more of a jocular "Wrong!" than an accusatory "Wrong!"

What Captain Chaos could do is like form some sort AI Voltron with Deus, Megera, Mirage, and the Smiling Bandit. They could defend Deep Resonance against the evil forces of... whoever...
Fastjack could be the guy who gives them all their missions sort like a hippie King Alfor. Sweet! And I have the link below: http://www.voltronforce.com/ FanPro just think of the cross-over Market! Now we just need some sort Shadowrunning Thundercats :D |

the written medium is realy a limited one when it comes to some styles of communication. i have seen several attempts at irony and sarcasm spark gigantic flamewars, both in this page and others. |

Eventually some poser kid will come along trying to post as CC and people are going to ooohhh and ahhh. Just remember the good times, and if you're religious, realize the next iteration of the Cap is a "false prophet."
;) Seriously though. I think that letting a character as big as CC die is a good move to advance the story and shake things up. Besides, just think about how things will be for new runners. "Back in my day, Captain Chaos was the one who kept people in the know. Now we got us some young pup..." You know how old timers get. :spin: This is all just from my point of view. |

I could see CC being a ghost in the machine, I can also see him having as many impersonators as Elvis. Would he have the same cult following I wonder?
I guess what it boils down to is what you consider alive. Can we get so advanced at mapping how humans make choices and live there lives that we can transfer their "soul" as it were to the net? Or is it just a complex AI that only seems real to others, but is lifeless? If CC is brought back, I just hope they do a good job. Nothing halfway. Otherwise, let him die. |

I dunno. Killing the 'cap seems wrong. Moving him behind the scenes, maybe he decides to retire to some UV Paradise, but KILLING the 'cap? Just whacking him, blam?...
So wrong. People as important as the 'cap do not go down with a Delete? y/n command. They go down in a hail of bullets, or under a major ass-whupping in cybercombat, or explode in mysterious circumstances. They don't just get shift-del'd. |

lol, gotta love honesty
I kinda envisioned it like Charlie's Angels
I think you have a gift for understatement... :D merely several? Seems like there's at least one per thread, usually more, lol
It's to be expected when you put a bunch of gamers in one place, though. (Not that I'm any different.) Seems like so often the problem is people are quick to take offense, looking for a reason to get indignant. People act as if they have the right not to be offended... if we were less quick to offense, and quicker to forgive and laugh about it, it would certainly smooth things out. Seems like a lotta folks got a lotta sand where it doesn't belong. |

Aw, this thread made me think of mortality. I just realized that 15 or so years have flown by since Shadowrun entered my life, and 20 years in-game,and also that all my favourite people who aren't elves are freaking OLD. Like in their 60's. Or dead.
Wolfgang Keis - dead or my dad's age, Sally Tsung, Ghost-Who-Walks, Zig and Zag, Tiki (Striper), Sam Verner, etc... Frag. |

What's the lifespan of shifters like? You'd think that the regeneration would probably be rather lifespan-enhancing, so Striper's probably like Wolverine- forever stuck in her 20s.

Cap is dead. In honor of his memory may I present Cap 2.0. This SK based on the beloved personality of Captain Chaos will act as IC and help function here at the Haven....

Hobgoblin: Who cares?
Nick: I think shifters age as normal, since they're assumed to be representational of their age physically. |
