No, Rule of Six doesn't apply to starting cash. Just like initiative. Also, Speed Coma's a band. :)

[Moirdryd]

Not everything in the Sixth World is angst!

Caught up on everything except p.39. Everyone's individual page should now link properly to the Prelude page linked in the first post, including yours, Eyes :) Every piece of artwork or visuals I know about (except a couple of the floorplan draughts) should be accessible through your PC's main pages. Any glitches or wished-for additions, let me know.

I'll be away from later today until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Absence announcement for my PCs and fellow GMs:

Tomorrow evening (Sunday) I will be leaving with a colleague of mine for a data collection trip. I will be in the Chicago area making use of the wonderful facilities provided by the Department of Energy and will not be back in town until Tuesday night. During this time I will be working almost around the clock and will not have any time to check dumpshock. I am sorry for the inconvience and thank everyone for their cooperation.

Cheers,
bandit

Hm. Beam time at the Chicago APS, then? That place is so cool; a synchrotron with an on-site hotel. :D Of course you hardly get to appreciate it at the time, what with the back-to-back 10-12 hour shifts.

[banditf50]

Damn, it sounds like a fellow LiTS player has also been (or still is) an APS general user :)

While we have a room in the guest house, like always it probably won't get used. My colleague and I usually just take turns catching naps in the offices next to the experiment hall. But yes. . .the APS is damn cool.

[The_Eyes]

Only once (summer research job). The whole thing was a fiasco; we dodn't get enough time so our data wasn't good enough to publish; all that work for nothing. :( Of course mostly I remember racing the trikes around the outer path at 2:30 in the morning and sneaking into offices to catch bits of the World Cup, so at least *some* of it was a positive experience. :) Never got to see the rest of Chicago though; flew in on Friday afternoon, (two hours after getting called, "Hey, we need you down here." "Okay, I'll catch the red-eye and see you in the morning." "No, I mean *now*; your flight leaves in two hours." "What? But the airport is an hour and a half drive away!" Last time I fly by the seat of my pants *ever*. :P), worked three 12-hour shifts, flew back Monday afternoon.

Here is an etiquette rolls for talking to the bartender

Etiqette 4 (-2 Good Rep, -1 Friendly Face)

[The_Eyes]

C'mon, tell me you haven't done something similar. :)

Oh, right, should probably include the program design roll:

[ Spoiler ]

Creating: Plan for Analyze6 (Sneak1) TN 5 (base 4 +1option)
Operational Utility Design: 08 05 03 02 02 01 (05 --bonus die) = 3 successes

Plan will take 7*3=21 hours, unchangable, and 19Mp of memory (program design size will be 8*8*3=192Mp.) (This means with the current rate of time passage I'll actually be able to begin coding sometime around September. :D)
Oh, and are we using the optional bug rules? In fact, what optional Matrix rules are we using? Also, can you default from one program design skill to another (say if I wanted to write an Attack utility instead of buying it like a normal person?) Maybe this should be an email to the GM.

Scrapheap- You will succeed in hitting Goon A, but Goon B is going to try to hit you as well. I need an opposed melee combat test vs. him, TN of 5. (base 4 +1 for friends in melee)

[Scrapheap]
