OoC Evolution, Out of Character - Epoch, Survival, Revolution Campaigns Options

[Kliko]

I'm not sure...

I basically upgraded some of Kliko's secondary/tertiary skills used in the last adventure (motorboating, bargaining). I'm thinking of putting some karma in parachuting (upto three ranks or so) and heavy weapons after our next adventure.

The team is ok in the B&E department (looking at Ludi). We've got sufficient (heavy) firepower (Bubba and Kliko). Decent enough social skills (Ludi and Kliko). Felix (shaman) and Jamie (decker) are up for recruitment.

What we really need is more forward reconnaisance, but I understood one of the guys in-line for the game is looking at a rigger (covering that particular base) type of character.

[ntwi]

Felix can certainly do Astral Recon to help with that process, and Jamie should be able to hack into security cameras through the matrix for forward recon and overwatch as well.

[Mister Juan]

I agree that getting a decent level of parachuting had been on my list of priorities. I would have suggested one of us to train as an aircraft pilot, but if we have a rigger in the pipe, then we could skip that.

I don't have Ludi's sheet in front of me, and I don't even remember what skills she has and at what level. When I do finally get home (not before thursday...) I'll have a clearer picture.

Which all makes me think; Bastard, do we only acquire contacts IN GAME, or can we "purchase" some between runs?

[Bastard]

Probably in game... but you can use your fixers to attain the services of their contacts.

[SneakyJoeKDB]

Peace my brothers! I will be moving into my permanent home over the weekend, will not likely be available until Monday, will keep you posted.

Bubba is poised to build up his mad sneaking skills and maybe 3 points of edge( which he is owed) in pain tolerance. Any other dumb meat shield suggestions?

[Mister Juan]

@Bastard
If I was to, lets say, make an etiquette roll, and pay the correct amount of cred (something like 5000 for a lv1 contact I think?) would Ludi be allowed to add some contacts to her roster? I mean, I'd still rp it, I'm just curious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Also, am I free to invent what side project Ludi is currently off working on?

@Everyone else.
After our little stint in the jungle, I agree with Kliko's unspoken idea that we're going to need some badass callsigns.

[Mister Juan]

Alright! I found Ludi's character sheet!
I'll update in a few with what I think I might add. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to do so.

[Kliko]

A knowsoft link (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) to be able to use those damn linguasofts...

[Mister Juan]

Cybeware wise, it's probably going to be 2 additional datajack, a chipjack, a transducer and a knowsoftlink.

[Kliko]

Check, an external transducer... that was on my shopping list as well... :=-s

[Bastard]

The Recruitment threads have been moved to the main threads.

Please make all posts from this point in the main IC and OoC Evolution threads.

I copied and pasted, made minor detail changes and reorganized the Recruitment 3 IC into three posts in the IC Evolution thread.


Also note, that BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is an electric train that travels along the free ways. BART Schedule what it looks like today in 2010.

We can assume it finally reaches Brentwood, Stockton and Sacramento on the Yellow Line.
San Jose, Monterrey, Santa Clara from both the mainland (Green and Orange) and from the peninsula (Yellow and Red)
North Peninsula on the Red and Orange Line

There is also a bullet train that is supposedly in the work now that is to run from LA to SF, with an optional stop in Bakersfield. Let us assume it is also completed now, and it will be 2-hour to LA from SF on the non-stop, and 2.5 hours on the one-stop (about 1 hour from either point to Bakersfield).

I will be updating the IC tomorrow, after I finish reading over the characters. Also have to bring in Coursair, galenbd's rigger.

[Kliko]

Bastard, how do you suggest I write the rigger in? Have him show up late or add him through Radek?

[Bastard]

I was going to try and get him to the meet, but I will push him to you on the next day. That will give me time to go over his character sheet and background.



EDIT
Actually Kliko, can you edit your last post to include a third there? I will write Coursair in right now.

Edited one of my big posts so Coursair is arriving at 2245 at Thunderdome.

Here is Ludi's shopping list and karma expenditures. I haven't figured out where I'll put the additional karma in the knowledge skills.... I wanted to pour them into something relevant to their last run, but just couldn't make my mind up. Any suggestions?

2x Datajack, 2000, 0.4
Knowsoft Link, 1000, 0.1

Armante Venetian Dress, 2625
Armante Ancien Shawl, 562
Autopicker R6, 300
Total Spent: 7237

As to where Ludi moved, since I don't know the bay area at all, I'll let Bastard suggest a nice, quiet, middle class neighborhood (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Coursair a dwarf? Just checking for narrative purposes.

[Bastard]

No, tall and slender.

Something to do with land navigation, boating, jungle survival, French Guiana specific knowledge (hideouts, city, etc)

[Kliko]

I'll wait for ntwi to respond than edit in Corsair so we can move from this meet to the next with Radek.

[Bastard]

Kink- edit your post/timestamp as I have already edited you in to the story and at the meet on time. Kliko will be editing his post tomorrow to include Corsair.

Thanks.

Don't forget to bold PC and major NPCs names in the IC.

[klinktastic]

Sounds good. I'll edit the time stamp once I see the edits go through. Glad to be aboard! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

[Kliko]

I only edited the timestamps and put Corsair in. Effectively everybody goes through the same routine as Jamie, so no need expand on that.

Lets roll!

[Bastard]

Hey Kliko, let me know when you are ready for me to bump.

[Kliko]

*bump*

-EDIT-
Bastard, I also need to get Kliko one of those external transducers. They're legal, within budget @ availability 3/72 hrs.

Yep, no problem. Don't worry about time, as we will assume anything purchased before you have mission details was acquired between now and the previous mission.

[Mister Juan]

Here are the knowledge skills I'll pick up for Ludi:
Navigation 2 (3k)
Jungle Survival 2 (3k)

[Kliko]

@Juan: You ever watched the movie "Leon"?

-EDIT-
@Galen: FYI Crew's comm-system consists of rating 4 personal comm-units (8 channels, DNI-equipped, extra datajack port, rating 2 ECCM, rating 2 Encryption/decryption, Effective flux 2).
