QUOTE (Slacker @ Nov 7 2013, 01:19 PM) Sorry, I've been busy and haven't had a chance to post anything more lately. I would think we can continue using this thread unless you all would like to start fresh with a new thread. I guess we've lost DireRadiant/Flowers, but I will message to double check. I'm around. I'm struggling a bit to find a good character voice for IC posts for Flowers, so even though I do have time I haven't been inspired. |

I'm trying to do NaNoWriMo this year and it's really kicking my butt. I just close out one of my old games though with a 2800 word post. So, hopefully I'll be able to update this game with something similar tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm glad to see we still have everybody with us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Finally made the IC post to get you all out of the StufferShack and on the road towards a safehouse.
Anywhere in particular you guys are going to? Anybody have ideas on what to do with the little girl? She's asleep for now, but she's bound to be handful when she wakes up. I also left a hook in there for somebody to give phlapjack77's new care a call to tell him about the death of Swims-with-Sharks. |

Can't really think of changes for my character, unless you want me to bring the critical strike into line with the clarified rules?
And of course, as a player... Is there Karma for our introductory scene? |

And of course, as a player... Is there Karma for our introductory scene? I'm fine with keeping your critical strike as is. I suppose I should give you guys some karma for this. Because of the extended nature of pbp games I'm tripling the amount of karma you'd typically get for something like this. But it's still not much because it was just a single scene. Everybody that survived (sorry Swims) gets 3 karma for surviving. Everybody (including phlapjack's new character) gets 3 karma for taking down the troll without killing him. Unfortunately, there is no karma awarded for saving civilians because every last one of them that the troll could have killed was killed and the only survivors were the innocent girl that had actually been calming the troll down before the grenade went off and the woman Takako shot as she tried to flee. I'm tempted to be mean and give Takako some Notoriety for shooting the innocent woman, but it was dark enough that she couldn't have recognized him and she did live. So no worries. Fortunately for you guys, the enemy decker had shut off the video feeds before anything broke out so there was no evidence to connect you all to the destruction. So, no Public Awareness either. The incident does appear on the local news as a brutal massacre by unknown gangers. But the Sixth World is a brutal place to live. This was not big enough to get more than a mention in the day of's broadcast. |

So, does anybody actually have a safe house that you are all travelling to? Or do you need to call a contact to secure a safehouse temporarily? Or are you just going to somebody's home to interrogate the troll/human?
I'm cool with you all dropping off the girl with the Lone Star contact without a hitch. He might start asking questions when he finds out the girls parents were involved in the massacre at StufferShack, but he's willing to a favor for you (though a little extra nuyen might quiet any questions that would otherwise trouble him). You can post an IC convo for that yourself if you like. |

You can post an IC convo for that yourself if you like. I will post some IC for dropping the girl with LS, since it seems no one is in disagreement with that route. He is a level 2 contact, so I thought that would be a good contact to use. EDIT: I think I will post this after we decide where we are going first, for continuity purposes. I don't have a safehouse, so we should line one up, or I got a shadowrunner bar we can use the backroom. I think this guy is like the Hulk, so we don't want to interrogate him, but rather interview him. I have to spend my karma, too. EDIT: Or not. Based on the table on page 107, it is going to take a lot more than 6 Karma to do anything. This post has been edited by Bastard: Nov 20 2013, 01:20 AM |

Based on the table on page 107, it is going to take a lot more than 6 Karma to do anything. Ok. I'm cool with you posting the girls dropoff whenever. I don't see there being any problems with that. As far as interrogating him goes. He's currently unconscious due to stun damage and has some hefty physical damage on top of that. Depending on how well he rolls, it may not take all that much damage to knock him back out even if he were to "hulk-out" as you suspect he might. I just wouldn't slap him with a stim patch to wake him up early, because that keeps him up even after he fills up on stun damage. Regarding Karma. You're right, 6 karma can't get you all that much. I'm considering moving to the karma model Aria uses for the persistent 2072/2075 games. Instead of getting karma based on mission goals and whatnot, you'd get 1 karma for every new IC post you make. Does that sound good to you guys? (this would not be retroactive- it would only be for posts going forward from here) |

Anyone got a safehouse? You guys could take the troll there, while Sledge drops off the girl.

QUOTE (Bastard @ Nov 21 2013, 02:19 PM) Anyone got a safehouse? You guys could take the troll there, while Sledge drops off the girl. I'm guessing from the lack of response that nobody has one that they want to use or a contact they want to particularly call upon to get one. So to keep us moving, I'm going to say Angel gets frustrated with nobody having any real answers on what to do next. Sledge making the call to his contact in the Star reminds her about having Stefan's number. She decides to give him a ring just to distract her from the circular discussion going on about what all the attack means and what their best options are. As it turns out, he's working a job right now where some guy thinks his doss is haunted (all evidence says its not haunted, but Stefan is perfectly willing to take the guys money anyway). Anyhow, Stefan has the place complete to himself for the next two days and it's a pretty off the beaten path kind of place. Considering he wants the full details on how his friend Swims-with-Sharks died, he's perfectly willing to let you guys come 'help' with the ghost problem (i.e. use it as a safehouse). Either Angel or Stefan can post up something IC to that affect or I'll try and post something this weekend. |

Checking in. Everything seems to have ground to a halt. Takako does not have a safehouse. Let's get one and move forward. Everyone still in?

I think everything is tied down until the new year. My PBP games are stagnant right now as well.

Given the last scene, Takako is still in the van. Obviously Sledge took the girl. Flowers and Angel still in the van or elsewhere? |
