T-Town, A game in Alabama Options

[Zyerne]

Closest I ever lived to Alabama was Northern Ireland, that being a few hundred miles closer than where I am now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As to the money, 4k did sound like a reasonable opening offer.

Dropping scan
Threading Analyze (11d6.hits(5)=4) Using 3 hits
Resiting fading (11d6.hits(5)=5) 0 fading
Analyzing the node. (16d6.hits(5)=5, 16d6.hits(5)=5)

May try hacking it depending on the stats...

What specifically are you looking for? Just the stats, some idea of what the node is, something else? I ask because depending on what you want to know will color how I answer.

[Zyerne]

Can I have a Judge Intentions roll to see it there's anyway of getting him to divulge the employer or if Angel should just drop it and go for more money?

[Karoline]

Most looking for stats, also looking for what kind of node it is, like what its name is and whatnot.

[ludomastro]

@Zyerne
Be my guest, let me know how many hits you get.

@Karoline
Name: error type 78a4f2
Node Type: Autonomous
Stats: The best description is military fortress

[Zyerne]

Charisma 6 + Intuition 3 + Kinesics 3 [2,4,5,6,4,6,3,6,2,3,3,6]= 5 hits

[Karoline]

Hmm... Military Fortress... Certainly doable, but I figure setting off an alarm might cause some trouble with negotiations.

[Zyerne]

If you're worried about setting of alarms does it really count as doable?

[Karoline]

If you're worried about setting of alarms does it really count as doable?

Sure. I could get in. That makes it doable. It doesn't make it a good idea....

I'd like to know what happened to the first crew. Who/what was the first choice and why didn't they take the job. Maybe they know something we don't.

I believe you misinterpreted that part a wee bit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

"I do not wish to offend you; however, your reputations are not ... sufficiently legendary ... that you were the first choice. However, need does as needs must."

The man runs for a parked car. He is short of breath and looks ready to drop. As his hand touches the door, the car starts and the door opens; however, the enhanced German Sheppard grabs his ankle. He tosses what appears to be a credstick into the car and says, "Execute phi delta 7."
The car pulls away while the dog enjoys its meal.

Time was pretty short to get a team together, and so he couldn't get his "dream team".

Not insinuating that some bad happened to them. But from the information that we have, we only know that they looked at other options. We don't know why. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So ... hoping that Flash will push a bit to find out, and maybe push the premium a little. After all, time is money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Nick isn't the social type to press it himself however.

Quick Post ™
I managed to catch up on reading tonight; however, today was about as ugly as a two headed goat stuck under a barbed wire fence. (How's that for a country-ism?)

Anyway, I shall post IC tomorrow. That would be Tuesday for those of you here in the US.

[fistandantilus4....]

"country-ism"? You're about three hours north of me, and while that is about as back water as California gets (unless you've visited the "State of Jefferson", you're a looong way from "country." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You're not country until your story starts with "So I was drunk with my sister..."

[ludomastro]

True; however, I was born and raised in Alabama on a family-sized cattle ranch. So, yes, I am currently a loooong way from country but I remember.

[fistandantilus4....]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Alright, sounds like you've got credentials then.

[ludomastro]

@Fistandantilus4.0

Sniffer detected. Once the encryption is up and running, no more sniffer.

[fistandantilus4....]

Bad form. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Query: No obvious effect from compiling a sprite right?

As a side note, Encryption was running before, using the old set that Flash and Nick used before. The next set is a threaded up upgrade set, wit ha sprite for overwatch.

[ludomastro]

Not that he would notice.

And, yes, it was bad form. And, no, it wasn't. It's complicated.

For those that don't know, Dreamland BBQ is a Tuscaloosa institution in real life. In my version of 2070 T-town, it still is.

[Zyerne]

What does Angel know about the area in question? Also, are there any go-gangs operating in the area?

*snicker* He's passing out armored vests for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seems somewhat counter-intuitive for a mission in which he wants us to not be on the news.

[Zyerne]

Angel's already overencumbered, I'm not sure a second vest will help much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What makes it so special?

Good question. I was thinking it was some sort of Disneyland type place or something, but then I saw the BBQ part. Is a restaurant of some kind really going to draw down the entire city if we cause a fuss?

Under normal circumstances, I would say no. However, this is a place that has a certain amount of tradition and history to it. Without waxing poetic, Big Daddy - yes, that was what everyone called him - started a little BBQ place out on the east side of town down Jugs Factory Road. He complained when the health department told him he couldn't keep cooking ribs on the Cadillac grill over a log fire. He complained when they told him he had to put a roof over the kitchen. He complained when they told him that sawdust was not an acceptable flooring material. He really complained when they found out he hadn't been paying sales tax.

The original restaurant - it's still there - only serves two things. Ribs and white bread. You don't order so much as the waitress sizes you up and yells back to the kitchen. Then you can ask for a soda or beer and if they still have them, some chips.

During University of Alabama football game weekends, I have seen the line for the original restaurant stretch for over two hours to get inside. The line just to buy the BBQ sauce line is shorter (about 45 minutes) but you have to cook your own meat somewhere else.

Big Daddy died many years ago but, the family is still making ribs. The original restaurant is still there doing things the way that Big Daddy wanted them done. However, they did sell the rights to use the recipes to a development company that has made Dreamland™ something of a chain in the state.

Southern traditions can get very territorial and crazy. e.g. A friend from out of state once called the Alabama football stadium "The Temple" because more people worshiped there than did at any given church, synagogue or mosque. Following that logic, Dreamland™ would be the Temple of Ribs.
