109. You've run out of Weapons to add to your collection.
110. You've run out of Critters to weaponize.
111. All of your bullets are individually Anchored to cast high force combat spells upon contact with foreign auras. Yes, all of them.
112. You're resorting to hounding out loopholes in the rules just to be able to keep advancing your character.

Well the sheep has done more runs than most shadowteams. It and Hackbaby are number one with the bullet.

114: Media companies change the details of your runs because they are too over the top.

If you haven't hound out loopholes in the rules, then your character won't have survived to retire.

Would this include having an ARE theme song [remake] of Weird Al's "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep" playing when you walk in on a meet?

116a: When Lofwyr gladly pays your taxes for you.


119: When your exploits and characters have become so well-known that it's simpler and cheaper to pay taxes and mark down all your income as "Illegal Gains" rather than try to dodge the tax men of every jurisdiction in the world.
120: When Lofwyr inducts your characters into the ranks of dragonkind rather than be forced to admit that mere humans are capable of the things you're on record as having done.
121: When, having been officially inducted into the ranks of dragonkind, you then set about determining how best to advance your official status to that of Great Dragon.
122. Lofwyr sponsors your ambitions in the hopes that you'll remember who you owe favors to once you're on top of the lizard heap.

123: when your character gets hold of a list of 'runners should retire when' and decides to consider it a Bucket List.
124: as a Technomancer your signal attribute is strong enough, Ares comes to you to get help confirming Project Quantum Communicator.
125: when your personal nanoforge is used to cushion Aztechnologies Consumer product lines.
126: when your Mage and your Technomancer make abet on who can reach 'the Nth Beyond' faster, and it's a tie.

129. When Zurich Orbital decides that it would be cheaper to hire you to run in-house security for them than have you keep breaking in to do Shadowruns against them for money or for them to keep losing money and face by having hit men trying to kill you and it winding up splashed all over the nightly news.
130. When you are forced to decline Z-O's offer because you have a better offer on-hand from Gary.
131. When you're on first-name basis with someone who runs or is otherwise part of the executive decision-making of a AAA Megacorp.
132. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them.
133. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them, from more than one corp.
134. When you're on first-name basis with so many Megacorp top-level movers and shakers that they all pay you the kind of money most starting Runners get for a hard run monthly, as a retainer, to act as the back-door messanger between them all.

134a. Your retainer affects the bottom line of a AAA corp more than a "Badly designed weapon" affects Ares ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
