Down in the Gutter: OOC, The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Alive Options

[Vegas]

Hello all. Glad to see that you guys are reviving the thread. I am, unfortunately, unable to continue at this time, due to work related constraints. Have fun!

@Dantic
I'm sorry to hear that you're gonna have to walk away for awhile because of work.

I moved Twiggs down to the "inactive" players section. Is there a chance in the future that you'll be able to return to the game if work lets up or are you out for the count for good? Just trying to peg down if Twiggs is fair game for some GM-inspired removal from the game, or what (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

wait till they see what Shadowrun did to their town lol.

Meriss, Slipshade, Mister Juan - I should clarify, I'm waiting for Ink's response to Alexis.

Pragma and Vegas - Waiting on Thumper's response to the little girl, to be clear.

[WinterRat1]

Aziz isn't trying to kill them, maybe just plant a couple bullets in their legs for effect. Still, I'll roll for it.

Ingram Smartgun 5P
Automatics 10 + Laser Sight 1 = 11 dice

Automatics 10 + Laser Sight 1 - Additional target 2 - recoil 3 = 6 dice
1 2 4 [5] [6] 3

So he hits them, but once again, isn't trying to kill them.

You achieved your goal. You ruthless pimp you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Don't forget to mark off ammo.

[Bearclaw]

I made it take 10 minutes to cover the 6 or so blocks so you guys could meet our guest before we come rolling in with the furinture.

[Mister Juan]

@WR1
Any awakened amongst the Plaguers?

[WinterRat1]

Bearclaw - Make it 15 minutes. The roads in Kingsgate aren't that great in the first place, and they're kinda cluttered these days, thanks to the events of the past month.

I'll have to put you on hold until the situation with the 'guest' resolves itself with Thumper/Nevada/Child.

@All - Once I discuss a few things with Sparky, I'll be starting some heavy renovation on the DITG Wiki site. Things should be accessable from the navigation bar on the left, but the rest of the pages will be changing as things are moved around, added, removed and generally changed in as many ways as possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Point being, you MAY want to bookmark your CS's on the wiki before I begin so you can easily access them if necessary while things move around.

Thanks!

Oh, I already edited my post to elbow my way into the conversation. I'll back off and change the time if you'd rather.

[WinterRat1]

Pragma, Bearclaw, Vegas, Lindt - I want the conversation with the little girl to play out with just Thumper, Nevada, and/or Child. At the same time, I don't want to leave Bearclaw hanging too long if you three aren't going to get that conversation moving.

So Bearclaw, for now back off and change the time, to give them some time to respond. If none of them responds in a way that gets the conversation moving by Thursday morning or so, I will cue you to edit your post to elbow your way into the conversation.

This lets me try to stick to my original plan for how I want that scenario to unfold without keeping you hanging too long.

Pragma, Vegas, Lindt, if possible, to the extent you are able/your schedule allows, please prioritize getting some kind of post up to move that conversation along. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Bearclaw]

OK, I added another 5 minutes. That's a lot of conversation. I can go more if necessary.

[WinterRat1]

Don't sweat it, we'll figure it out more specifically on Thursday or so.

Sorry, meant to have a post up last night, but life's as hectic as usual.

Throwing down some etiquette to calm the kid down.

Etiquette 1 + Cha 2 + Friendly Face 2 # dice 5 :: 3 1 5 2 4 -- 1 hit

Did I mention that Thump's a natural born face ....

Assuming Aziz gets back to the HQ, how are we going to handle the 2 hours he's ahead of everyone else?

[Meriss]

And Ink is sill playing bait the Plague. Not very smart, but totally in character. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The rythm Ink is using sounds comething like this. Prolly a bit faster and more 2070.

[Vegas]

For the sake of looking around...

Intuition (4) + Perception (3) + Long Haul mods (-2) = 5 dice
1 3 [6] [5] 3 Hits:2

Hopefully her First Impression bonus will help with the kidlet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Heh, "bait the Plague" sounds like it should become a Ravens pasttime, y'know in the same vein as "Taunt the angry German Shepherd" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[WinterRat1]

Assuming Aziz gets back to the HQ, how are we going to handle the 2 hours he's ahead of everyone else?

I'm going to sync everyone back up post-Legion's meeting with the Black Plague. You'll all be playing Suzy Homemaker for a few hours, unloading and arranging (and re-arranging, and re-arranging, and re-arranging) the furniture Rico and Twiggs will be bringing back shortly. That'll more than kill a few hours, especially since most of you aren't exactly familiar with honest work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

In other words, Aziz will basically be getting back on the tail end of all that.

Pragma, Vegas, Meriss - No problems on any 'delays' (and let's be honest, but normal standards they weren't delays; I just happen to be flying along lately), just wanted to make you guys aware of my plans so you could respond accordingly. I'll get IC responses up for everyone this afternoon.

[WinterRat1]

Meriss - Quick note, Alexis is standing a pretty fair distance from you, maybe half a block or so, as the Plaguers are giving you plenty of room. So unless you walk over to her to poke her in the chest, you may want to edit your post to reflect that. And if you ARE walking over to poke her in the chest, well then...

And besides, if you're actually humming that particular rhythm, you may not need to go to them. They just might be coming over to you.

[Mister Juan]

If the Plaguers seem to be getting pissed, Felix will bring his Fire Elemental (post #1411) into the astral plane. He's not giving him any command... just putting him on stand by in case things escalate.

[Meriss]

@Winter: Ooops (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Editing.

Done. And I don't how I missed Alexis being female.

@Vegas: Ink'd do that too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Slipshade]

WR1 - Don't worry about waiting for Baby. She is staying put as long as it doesn't escalate to more than Ink and Alexis.

[Meriss]

Huh, the things you find in the main forum threads. Here's a quick sheet to gang types in CP2020. Not really relavent to our situation as Winter has created all the gangs we'll ever need. But you know just in case.

Gang Chart

Wonder where the Ravens fit on that chart?

[WinterRat1]

Meriss - I went back and read my earlier post, and I see where the confusion came up regarding where Alexis was standing, I edited it for future clarity.

Mister Juan -

You realize if you do that Alexis could potentially see your Fire Elemental suddenly show up, right? It's not as if you can tell whether or not she's looking in the astral plane herself. Just checking to make sure this is what you really want to do, since it could easily be interpreted as a hostile action on your part. Given that you're standing in another gang's turf and she already indicated you to be a war/spy party, how do you think she'll respond, especially with Ink currently truing to bait her? If you still want to do this that's fine, I just want to confirm this is really what you want to do.

[Mister Juan]

@WR1

[ Spoiler ]

Oh yes, I know that perfectly well. Part of me was hoping she was an adept (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I do realize that when I said "pissed" I wasn't as harsh with my choice of words as I should have been. Felix will bring out his fire elemental, only in astral space, if the Plaguers get pissed AND start to come for a fight. Basically, I'm just stating what his first action in case of trouble would be. Way I see it, Felix would hope it would be a "deterent" more than anything.
