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

[Bastard]

If it is possible, please edit your posts. I posted the plan like I did so there wouldn't be any confusion, but it looks like there already is.

1- Kliko inside the gate before security cameras are under control.
2- Where is Felix when he is talking to kliko and ludi? Ludi is in the suv, kliko is opening the gate. Is he joining them there.

Im all for benefit of the doubt, but I cannot tell when you are adlibbing, or just confused.

Be as specific as possible in your post. Being vague is going to lead to confusion on my part and the other players.

Keep the game in order as much as possible, to eliminate confusion. Going back to edit details is okay. If it is important, please note it in the ooc.

I'm sure minor npcing of another character is okay with everyone. Ludi and Corsair are NPCs at this point. Move them along if you need to.

This is why I wrote down the plan for you guys.

Everyone should know when and where to go. If you have to deviate or add something thats great. From this point forward, I am assuming everyone is purposefully deviating from the plan, and that they are not confused.

I will act upon your posts as they are written. Otherwise the game bogs down and we get anarchy (ie someone is shot, spotted, or discovered, and they complain that they meant this our that, but now they have seen my hand). Yes, I know I am a bastard.

[Kliko]

@Bastard: Note my timestamp (15:something) it should give Jamie about 15 minutes to get the camera's under her control.

[Bastard]

Got it.


Just dont want everyone all over the place, then when security spots someone, they claim they misunderstood.



We can always go back and edit posts for misunderstandings, but the plan is already posted, so their shouldnt be any confusion.

[Bastard]

Need me to bump forward?

[ntwi]

Or Jamie to hack the security system, Bubba to take a smoke break etc...

[galenbd]

I didn't realize you all were waiting for me. I posted IC that she was loggin in. I was waiting for a GM post that she was successful.

I like the color coding of the plan

Galen

[Bastard]

SNEAK - Are you heading out the Canteen side door, or the warehouse back door? There is no Canteen back door. Edit your last IC accordingly please.

GALEN - Can you give me a rundown of what order you are going to hit the matrix in. That way I can post all the rolls you will have to make in a few posts! We will do our best to expedite things.

Points to galenbd for the matrix....

You really do not want the shaman with Gremlins trying to deck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Bastard]

Sorry... meant Galen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rollin.gif) ... will edit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wobble.gif)

[galenbd]

Sure,

First I want to create a security account for myself. That should simplify things. I intended to spend one point of Hacking Pool to buy a success. Once I have that account, I should be able to look at cameras and control the elevators without having to roll.

Then I wanted look at the camera feeds to insure no one was going to try to come up on the roof.

After that, I need to blank the camera feed as Kliko and Ludi came in. That probably will require a roll since I suspect the security personnel are authorized to view, not edit. I'll spend Hacking Pool there as well.

I know I need to handle the elevator doors at some point, but we might as well wait to discuss that if the plan actually makes it that far.

SNEAK - Are you heading out the Canteen side door, or the warehouse back door? There is no Canteen back door. Edit your last IC accordingly please.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

Fixed. On the map it only showed a side door from the Canteen. I will go with the warehouse door.

[Bastard]

NTWI (or anyone else who is more familiar with the matrix), some Utilities I have left blank, because I am not sure which ones you will use.

Feel free to make corrections or suggestions to my directions below.

Quick Resolution Decking Rules:

Test: Computer (Decking) Skill Only
Target Number: System Security Value
Hacking Pool (per point): 1 automatic success or automatically suppress 1 piece of IC
System Pool (per point): Negate 1 success by decker, or get 1 auto success for IC

Type of Action - Target Number Determination
Access - Security Value
Search - Security Value
Control - Security Value
Fight - IC Rating (Opposed)
Escape - IC Rating (Opposed)

Modifier - Situation
+2 - Decker lacks appropriate utility
+1 - First alert triggered
+2 - Second alert triggered
+1 per IC - Decker has suppressed IC




Jamie's matrix infiltration:

1 - Log On
Action: Access
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

2 - Find Security/Identification Node
Action: Search
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

3 - Create False User ID
Action: Control
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

If Successful above, you will only need one success at TN 4 for all of the following. You will also have full control after it is established, if you succeeded in the above:

4 - Cameras
Action: Search
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

Action: Control
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

5 - Elevators
Action: Search
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

Action: Control
System: Orange 4
Target: 3 Successes (4's)
Skill: Decking
Utility: ???

If you fail any steps, note it, and reroll. After a certain (ie gm secret) number of failures you will activate certain IC. We will edit those in.

Please do all this in the OoC, then we will transfer it over to the IC.

[ntwi]

Going off of the System Operations table on pg 163 of Matrix, the actions and relevant utilities would appear to be as follows:

[ Spoiler ]

Log On
Operation: Log On
Utility: Deception

Find Account Node
Operation: Locate Slave or Locate Access Node
Utility: Browse for both

Create New Account
Operation: Validate Account
Utility: Validate

Find Camera Feeds/Controls
Operation: Locate Slave
Utility: Browse

Manipulate/Control Cameras
Operation: Control Slave or Edit Slave
Utility: Spoof for both

Find Elevator Controls
Operation: Locate Slave
Utility: Browse

Control Elevators
Operation: Control Slave
Utility: Spoof

[galenbd]

The only utility I lack is Spoof.

Ok, so my login roll did not include enough successes to get in. I'll spend a point of hacking pool to make it in.

Here's my search roll
Again only two successes. Another Hacking Pool point bites the dust

Here's my Validation roll
Two seems to be the magic number. As expected, another Hacking Pool to become successful.

At this point, I assume I have a security account and henceforth I only need one 4.

Here's the Search Roll to find the cameras
As before 2 successes. No need for hacking pool.

Here's the Edit Slave Roll to modify the camera feed.

Most likely the account I have will not allow me to alter camera feed. I'm not sure how many successes I need. I only got one, but it might be enough.

I think I'll stop here to allow the GM to let me know how to proceed.

Galen

[Bastard]

Continue on, and your account will allow lower your code one level until you trigger something. IE it will act as a Green-4 instead and require only 2 successes.

Dont forget that you have Hacking Pool to buy success, the system has a System Pool (3 for Orange) that acts in the same manner as your Hacking Pool. So I can negate a success of yours, or give an IC an auto success.

Because we are going through this over the forum and not in person, and it takes to long to interject, I feel it is fair if I just use my 3 System Pool to negate 3 of your Hacking Pool all at once, rather than going back and forth, as that is how it will work out. Does this sound fair and does it leave you with any Hacking Pool left?

Remember, that a failure just bumps the system alert one, and does not always send you IC, or trace or burn. In the Quick Resolution I have a list of like 30 steps, so each time you fail, it bumps up to the next. While the first one is something like tighten security, and the last five are more Black IC and system lockdown kind of things. Where the first heavy IC come out though, is for you to find out, if you really want to try.

After the game, remind me and I will give you the list so you can kind of get a better idea of how I was running it.

[galenbd]

I'm not sure I understand. I only have barely the number of successes I need. If you negate 3 of them, will I still succeed. Do I just need one success to perform the action and 3 to keep from being noticed by security?

My hacking pool is 7. If you negate 3, I will have 4 left of which I have spent 3. That leaves me with one left. Or did you just negate the ones I used causing my security tally to increase?

Galen

[Bastard]

If I negate your successes with System Pool, then you just repurchase it with more Hacking Pool. Right?

Thus, it can easily be solved by the equation
Hacking Pool - System Pool = True Hacking Pool
7 - 3 = 4

So act like you have 4 HP instead of 7, and it will eliminate the need for me to jump in and say, I use an SP, then you saying, okay, well I use another HP, and me saying, okay, I use another SP, and you saying okay, well I use another HP, and then me saying, okay, I use another SP, and you saying okay, well I use another HP, and me saying, okay, I use another SP, and you saying okay, well I use another HP, and then me saying, okay, I use another SP, and you saying okay, well I use another HP, and me saying, okay, I want some bacon.

I did not eliminate any of your successes, just Hacking Pool. Numbers wise it works out exactly the same, with less hassle.

Your Security Tally has not moved, as you have not made a failure yet.

You need the total amount of success required to both not get noticed by security and successfully perform the task.

The system is an Orange-4 require 3 4's to succeed.

With your false identification you successfully created, you can move about without raising alarm, except in secure locations. You can read files and download anything that is not a secured document. All searches are authorized. Opening or accessing a node or controlling a node will require a roll.

With your false user account, the system will act as a Green-4 (instead of an Orange-4) thus requiring only 2 successes (instead of 3) for actions. Target number remains a 4, so you need 2 4's.

Upon 1 Failure, the system actions will revert back to an Orange-4 for your rolls.
Upon 2 Failures, your account will be marked and you will then have to roll again for everything.

Right now your total Security Tally is still 0.

And I want some bacon still.

[Kliko]

Are Ludi and Kliko clear to start their infil of the storage area during the service?

[Bastard]

Kliko -
Yes. Jamie gave you guys the go ahead, though I need a second success to edit the camera footage.

Jamie -
Need one more success to edit camera footage (Blue-4 with your access code as that is considered a secure system). Either reroll and take a Security Tally, or use your last Hacking Pool.

Everyone -
Please follow and stay in order of the Plan (see SPOILER at link).

If you go out of order, than you may be putting your player in harms way.

[galenbd]

Grrr. I did a retry, thinking surely I could get one more success on the reroll. No such luck.

So I'll use my last Hacking Pool to get this done. After all, personnel are already on the move.

Galen

[Bastard]

How many failures total? If you corrected it with Hacking Pool, it does not count as a Failure.

[galenbd]

Two attempts. Neither one rolled enough successes. I corrected the second one with Hacking pool so it was successful.

I think that means only one failure.

Galen

[Bastard]

Correct.

So you have been in the system for 20-25 minutes before Kliko and Ludi appear? Adjust your timestamps if needed.

We are ready to bump to the infiltration team.
