As some of you might remember, a while back someone posted a link to a video of a failed attempt to rob a convenience store, in which the would-be robber accidentally tossed his gun across the counter, and then ran off when the clerk grabbed it. Unfortunately, the dumpshock search function hates me.
If someone could repost the link, or a link to that thread, I'd appreciate it greatly. |

Was that on the old forum? I'm looking here, but there's nobody home.

I'm pretty sure it was on this iteration of the forum, but I can't remember where. Austere probably has a link still about.

Sorry? I know I've seen the clip a few times before, but I've no idea where you might find it on the net. I don't even remember in what context it appeared on the forum. |

I remember the thread. It was one in which someone was demonstrating the Rule-of-One in action. There was much debate over it.

If that were to happen to you, and you caught the gun or somesuch, would it be a crime to make the mugger give you all his money?

Doesn't mean I wouldn't do it if the opportunity arose, then donated the money to an anti-crime charity or something. :)

It does if you add the "-" to quick-draw.

Because you would have had to search for "quick-draw" without the quotes. I tried "Quick Draw" and "Quickdraw", neither of which appear in the thread. Similarly I tried searching for "Rule-of-One" and "Rule-of-Ones", and the same without the hyphens, none of which appear in the thread either.

The link in that old thread links to another thread that links to the video, but the link to the video is broken.*sniffle* |

I've never seen the clip before.
It's great, how do criminals that are so bad at their "job" keep themselves fed? It'd be a nice trick with a booby-trapped toygun though. |

that would be classified as a "D'oh" moment.
Come to think of it.. I had a character do something very similar recently... Something about jumping up and going "Drek! Ninja!", fumbling the gun, and getting one's arm cut off. At least It gave me a reason to get a cyberarm! |

Ew. Get a clone-replacement. Cyberarms, as per canon rules, are useless save for storing lots of stuff. |

Cyberarms are a very good option when you've lost your arm. When you still have both attached however, it's not a very good option. Unless of course you have a few million nuyen to spare and don't mind losing your essence.

Nope. Cloned arms are significantly cheaper than cyberarms, and they come at your natural Attribute rating -- cyberarms do not, and you have to pay out the yin-yang in both Essence and nuyen to raise them up if you're a significantly strong or fast individual.

Assuming of course that you have High strength and quickness atributes. It is cheaper and easier to improve a cyberarms strength or quickness.
Besides, cloned parts requires you to give someone DNA-samples. Someone getting their hands on your DNA could very well happen during a cybersurgery as well, but it is not required. |
