Nah, we'll take our old territory and retag everything for the Ravens. Then we're going to take over the Black Plague's turf, their business, and everything. Probably kill most of them in the process, too. Then we'll push west and start negotiating with the ghouls.

And if we can manage to efficiently wipe out the Black Plague in a reasonable fashion in a reasonable amount of time, there's a good chance the Ravens could still take some of the old LoCoS and Splintered Crash turf, forgoing some to the Heartbreakers and 162's in some kind of "deal".
UVN's get Brickhouse Boys old turf and part of Corsairs (maybe along with the SD's unless they push south into 8-Balls/SSR turf) and everyone is kept "happy" or otherwise occupied with conflicts enough so that they don't have time to deal with the Ravens till it's too late... heh, yeah right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Besides, Al and the Raiders boys can take over Lost Boys turf. They should be happy with that little "growth" in their turf, right?

Ok, just throwing it out there, I still think HQ'ing south of park/heights is the best location for now, going after the black plague turf will open up a lot later on.

It makes sense, logically. I'm wondering however if we want to talk about what kind of beaten down, gutted, building we can find in that area to help the guys along in their search.
BTW All I'm updating everyone's takes to include the 4 new gangers coming into the game. Feel free to start thinking things up for them when you've got time. |

@Winter -
Referring back to post #972, where I did all Grack's rolls for overwatching the main group, I forgot to add Home Ground advantage for my Looking for Threats (perception) and Skulking in Shadows (infiltration) rolls. So since they hadn't actually been used yet, I went back and added them in. Just added one success to Perception is all. If it's a problem, just ignore it. Mostly I just wanted to get into the habit of taking advantage of that Home Ground advantage, especially since it seems we are heading back to the old turf. |

Depending on how much work I get done today, I may be in a position to put up an IC describing Thumper et al. search for a new HQ tonight. It will just be filler unless I am told what shows up or that some other event will interrupt his work.
So, WR, let me know what you'd like posted. |

Twigg- I love your take on Cuervo. Mostly because when I was trying to figure out how to keep him balanced, I actually WAS shooting for "about as magical as Grack, less deadly than Aziz but sneakier than either" as I built the sheet.

Putting this here instead of in recruiting because it will be impacted by existing gang members.
I've got Twiggs up on the wikki awaiting approval. In the meanwhile I wanted to start to get an idea of how to introduce Twiggs to the gang. I have written his background to have been an independent player in Kingsgate for some months, he lives in "The Heights", so may have had some exposure to Hammerpack. He and his missing partner "Pops" also liked Novacoke and were more likely to work closer to Touristville, so they had dealings with 8-balls and possibly even had to pay a piece of their "action" to them. They also would have worked the bazaar and so may have had some dealings with Hearbreakers and LoCoS. No one that they had regular enough dealings with survived the war, thats why he has no contacts at this time, but he has been around the area enough to possibly be recognized by someone from one of these gangs as a local. Since it is still ICly Nov 1, most of the locals would still be laying low afraid to wander out. The only reason Twiggs would be out at this time would to be still looking for "Pops", who most likely was killed as a bystander in the recent fighting, or to do a little scrounging. He would likely be in the area where the gang is conducting it's HQ search, since he lives in "The Heights". He has a place to stay, paid up for 5 more days, but only 250 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) to his name and two hits of Novacoke left, so he is starting to get anxious. |

I'd love to work with you regarding the 8-Balls stuff (and I'm sure Slipshade would too) and since Nevada's got a place in The Heights as well right now that might be another tie in... I'm on a conference call right now, but later tonight/tomorrow I'd be happy to hash some ideas out with you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Everyone should have one more take to fill out now with the new edition of "Drip" (Eyeless Blond) once he gets his sheet up and the like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just a friendly heads up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Another idea is that since I'm still looking for "Pops", who was out looking to score some Nova, about the time that the 8-balls got hit, then I could be going to look in the "Corner Pocket", which seems to be where the hub of activity is right now, either coming or going. It works exceptionaly well ICly, with my background story, and since IC time is still late afternoon/early evening, it would be a good time to be out looking. Could run into almost anyone. |

Sorry everyone, I'm a bit under the weather at the moment; other than snappy one liners or very brief replies, I haven't had the time/energy in the last two days to post, especially with a full load at work grinding me down. I'll look to get caught up with everyone ASAP, probably over tomorrow and Wednesday.

Yeah, I've got "takes" up for everybody myself.
I like the one I did for Twiggs the best, personally. |
