Which AAA do you hate the most and why?, Evil, evil megacorps. Options

[JongWK]

Ok, people, lets see our reasons... 8)

[Abstruse]

Aztechnology...if you don't know why, shame on you.

The Abstruse One

[Sphynx]

Aztlan...errr.... Aztechnology... Governments...err... corps just shouldn't have those damn pyramids, and so damn many of them. :P

[Solidcobra]

Why do you hate aztechnology?
It's just another AAA corp......
or is it? *Dum dum DUM*

[JongWK]

And they have the best PR team in the world... :evil:

[Solidcobra]

so you hate their PR teams?
*Doesn't know what Aztech did that's so horrible*

[Traks]

Renraku. Dunno why, there was some reason but my progressing sclerosis prevents to name it. Aztechnology - neh, everyone discriminates them. In fact they are best company in many spheres. And don't ask why my name is on their PR manager's list :)

[Sahandrian]

Oh, they're just bringing about the apocalypse is all.

And though one of my characters has a major problem with Ares, personally, I'd have to vote Aztech. Calling demonic forces to our world is very no.

[Earthwalker]

In the game world I have created Aztecnology and SK seem to inspire the most fear and hated. I think this is in some way the picture I paint of them.

The one unique thing about them both as they have been presented in adventures and sourcebooks is that both of them will and have taken things personally were as the other big ten dont seem to.

I cant remember the scenario where Aztecnology were after two combat bikers erm Punch and Judy becuase of actions they had taken against Aztecnology in there shadowrunner past.

SK being vindictive is just the natural of having a dragon running the show. Speculation about SKs action does lead alot of people to believe that if prompted Loftwyr could and would take actions against him and his corporation personally.

Of course I do love the fact that Aztecnology is winning the voting for evilest megacorp when a poll of the ocupants of 2063 Seattle would have them as one of the nicest corps, after all they have some of the best spin doctors out there.

Question: Why does people hate renraku?
The books (i think it was the companion and rigger 3) mentioned something horrible happening with them involved.....
*Knows very little about the corps, seeing as i only have the "Must have to play" books*

[JongWK]

They are fully responsible for the Renraku Arcology Shutdown and everything that followed.

[Sphynx]

Well, with the way Aztlan is laying waste to forests with their chemical weapons used on their own people, they honestly should be the most hated for their complete lack of humanity.

In our games, we've actually assisted Amazonia with recapturing much of the lands, giving them possession all the way up to the Panama Canal. Currently working with Denver(Ghostwalker) and UCAS to push them out of Texas, though it appears that Texas will end up being its own government in the process as they don't seem to be willing to join either UCAS nor CAS (nor the Indian tribal lands). We've been 'stationed' in Austin for about 4 months game-time now, though we do move around alot so are rarely actually at that location. Trying to get ahold of the Aztlan book before I take over the GMing in Jan.

Why would the UCAS give a flying flip about Texas? And forming it's own government

Granted, being from there, I'd love to see a Texan freedomfighter game, but just confused on how any successful outcome would result in anything besides the rest of the state just joining the CAS (remember, they only lost San Antonio and south, not everything to the Sabine river.)

[Solidcobra]

Last question! (Maybe, buy asking=learning, right?)
What is the Renraku Archology Shutdown? I couldn't find any real info about it in the books i have (Most "splatbooks", the companion and the sourcebook)....
Me=:noob:

[JongWK]

The books you are looking for are:

Renraku Arcology: Shutdown
Brainscan
Threats 2
Matrix

[Siege]

I dunno -- I've never played "On a Mission" characters, so I can't say that I really despise any particular AAA.

Except maybe the AAARP -- damn drivers... :grinbig:

-Siege

If I wasn't the GM, Aztech would be far and away the mega I hate most.

FOr exactly the same reasons, because I am the GM, Aztech is my most favoritist megacorp. Ever.

And no way am I letting Darke die. Canon is wrong, baby. :)

[Ol' Scratch]

I answered mine from a player's point of view, not a character's. Ares is just really, really boring, so it tends to be the one I hate the most. Aztechnology may be the most evil, but at least it has style and is fun to use. Ares... not so much.

Plus I hate the names they give their weapons. "Ares Alpha" and "Ares Predator" just sound stupid. :D

[Connor]

I had to vote Aztecnology as well. Mostly because of the whole summon evil things to the world. Although, just about everything about the corp gives me the shivers. It's probably impossible to go through a day without using some sort of Aztech or Aztech subsidiaries product, even if you would prefer not too...horrible.

On Ares, I tend to have a lot of fun with them. As Doctor Funkenstein says there, they do have a nice clean boring corporate face, but as the saying goes "It's always the quiet ones." As an example, I think Threats 2 shows just the kind of sick and twisted stuff you can do with Ares behind the scenes.

[Crimson Jack]

I like them all. I am a GM. :D

[Jpwoo]

My players are distrustful of WalMarts in real life. So when I was running a game with azzies as the main targets, the characters found the now ubiquitous AzMarts everywhere. The players actually went there quite a bit, it is a good place to buy duct tape at 4 am.

As a GM I like all the corp. I guess I just feel sorry for all the poor corp guards who my runners have killed over the years. All those families thrown into turmoil. Thank goodness the AAA corps are there to pick up the peice left behind when Evil runners destroy lives.
