Out of curiousity (as this may be effecting the results), how many of you who voted for Aztechnolgy were screwed by your Mr. Johnson when working for Aztechnology (for players); or, when the players were doing a run for Aztechnology, got screwed by the Johnson (for GMs).
EDIT: For full disclosure - I voted for Aztechnology, and in the course of a run I did get screwed by an Aztechnology Johnson - they tried to kill my character with a cell-phone bomb. |

he had the flaw that makes you unable to use technology, (the one that shapeshifters have) and failed the check to answer the phone successfully? :D
'cause that would be really quite comical, IMO ;) |

i voted against the azzies. It was the Maria Mercurial run that got me against them. They sent a couple of Aguilar attack helo's to try and kill me, (vindictive flaw), but i'm being subtle on how i'm getting back at them so my GM doesnt catch on

I voted for the Big A. (Never played against them but screwed my players over with them some half a dozend times in all these years :wobble: )
So, why are they more "evil" than the others? Well every corp got sweatshops, Aztec is the 2nd biggest corp in the world and first in consumers however and they need many tiny hands for those cheap sportsshoes yīknow. They allso do thair bit of "metahuman research" (Fuchi, Evo or Shiawase would not do experimentation on humans, would they). They started of as a Drugcartel, getting mineral consessions by force (better then just taking Yak- :nuyen: like MCT did or having Triade-links like Wuxing), than they went happy Techno-Piracy-Kings, nationalizing and stuff (payed for that with Ensenada). They built Aztlan as we know and lurv it, by "allowing unstable central american nations to join" (*winx to MCT/Philipines) and "liberating" some of south NA (not just flaring up conflicts to raise weaponssailes), they also were big in Military gear these days (nut as much as Ares thoug). Than thre was Blood-Magick and Horrors, the Board kneew, thoug not all approved it (Big D probably, Roxxy was quiet pissed about Darkes influence as well), the mayority of the votes did! They scrued a lot of runners, more so, then most others (this repīs got to come from somewere). They killed the prez! or rather drove him to suicide (I liked him, cool story arc thoug). They wasted Yucatan into toxicity (is this better then MCT/Tsimshian) and killed lots of Rebells (is this better then MCT/Saito). Speaking of MIND CONTROLL, they want to spread Aztec-culture all over the world, its illigal in Aztlan to belive in anything else and they have got a damn hot pr (greatings to Horrizon). Well probably AT is less racist then the japanacorps, but it helps if you are hispano ;) . So, yes, there is no clean corp, but some are a bit (realy not so much) dirtyer then the others. Oh, I forgot, Aztec wants to take over the world (like SK, just starting the other side of the pond and a bit more south), but then again, who dosenīt? |

Chiming in on Aztech because their entire Thaumaturgy department expands the horizons of magical research via Mengele-style research and let's not forget they pioneered Psychotropic IC.

Huh? That's a reason NOT to like them? I thought that's what made them such a great and wonderful corporation. I'd like to buy more of their products, because they deserve my money. :rotate: (btw, I voted for the Azzies, too.) |

Horizon, bringing telemarketing into the 2070's. Just think of all the ad campaigns these guys are willing to do for the Azzies & SK.

But at least they don't do full on psychotropic IC mind control...or if they do, the Azzies did it first! |

Well the reason why I would not vote for Horrizon is because the Question was "What is the evilest megacorp" not which will be badass #1 in the futer.. And realy any corp could be more evil than all the others, we just donīt know, but we know what AT has done so they deserve the priz
Motecozuma: "Thank you very much and special thanks to my mother, cocaine, the horrors, ... whithout them this would not have hapened, thanx. Buy Quezal-Cola!" |

Actually, according to the novel Psychotrope, the US military developed psychotropic IC as an attempt to treat their initial Echo Mirage team from going insane when they fought the virus. |

FUCHI! They gave me a crappy deck so I would lose to gray IC on their Matrix in the Sega game, and then there was the mission where I had to steal the human heart!
Fortunately Fuchi no longer exists, so I will have to go with Horizon. They make spam. That alone makes them more unholy than all of Aztlan and S-K put together. |

I nearly voted for Horizon, because for the longest time, I had them confused with Verizon.
And I hate that dude. |

I'm amused that Aztechnology has 110 out of 147 votes.
Not surprised. I mean, I voted for them; something about evil corrupted spirits and dragons and stuff. Bad mojo. But it's still amusing. |
