Horsepower Haven, street racing for the ultimate prize Options

[Aes]

My PC has two, actually. The racer and a SUV that won't make a LS traffic cop crap his pants as it shoots by at 450 km/h.

[Edit]

And this makes fo rthe 6th page. Have we beaten the record for longest recruitment thread yet? :P

[Tarantula]

Minor notes I noticed. A datajack port will not allow even captains chair style rigging. It allows the "virtual dashboard" which gives you a +1 to reaction for purposes of driving, thats it. No sensors, you're not even assist blocked, but there is some sorta TN addition (I think +2) for doing other things. But it is NOT rigging.

Pop-up mini turret, someone has to go to the turret, pop it up, stick their head inside, and shoot. You want remote pop-up turrets, which can do all that from a rigger controlling it, or an order given to the dogbrain.

Also, so far my guy has 2 vehicles, the hover, and a racing bike, and I'm working on a third, while mulling over the story in my head.

*mutters something incomprihensible about story before stats*

[Fresno Bob]

My character just has two modified motorcycles, a chopper and a racing bike.

[Tarantula]

Aes, I tend to think of the story, and make the stats as I go for things he has/has used/etc. Yes, I think weirdly. :P

[Slipshade]

To tell you the truth I am a bit worried about PC vs PC. I find it tends to turn into a Min/Max war, and character backgrounds and RPing kind of fall by the waste side.

I aggree with Slipshade. Doubly so in an open forum where we keep our character sheets public. Some people might start looking at the other characters simply to design specific counters to other characters. I'd say set a cap at however many PCs you're comfortable with and either go by first-come first-serve, the concepts you think will make for the most interesting story or drawing lots (whichever method seems more fair to you).

PvP CAN work if the entire group is mature about it. But - and I want to stress I am in no way thinking of anyone in paticular about this - we're all more or less strangers to one another. It's a very big gamble that 10 people who have never met before and only know each other for a few dozen forum posts will not have at least 1 person among them who takes munchkinism to the point where it spoils the others fun.

[Kiedo]

Thats a very good point, the will of the group is something a GM must take into account, not to mention the fact that I hate munchkins, I guess it's going to be a five to six man team against a npc one. I'm comfortable with either, but you've convinced me, with the mention of power gaming, that PCvPC is not an option. So I'm going to appologize up front, as I'm going to start a clean slate, and set my records to nill.

The way I will choose who's in is simple, the most creative or well suited background will be choosen, this does also mean that at least two of formerly in characters will more than likely still be in. Also for fairness I'd like to extend the oportunity for anyone who thinks that their character's bio need revamping the ability to do so. I will still stand by my Wednesday deadline which give you three days to improve or finalize and submit you character.

I will email you if your in, but don't take offense if you don't get choosen, all of the characters I've recieved are great so this will be a difficult choice.

[Aes]

I suppose I'll do a re-write in the morning. If nothing else, then to collect everything in a single mail and stomp out some more of my atrocious grammar and spelling.

[Sandoval Smith]

I just thought that I'd mention I've made a few semi-signifigant alterations to Sebastian, most notably a ten hour day job flaw, and a rating [3] credstick for his alternate identity, Ace Freely, Freelance Security Consultant (this is the identity he uses to explain just why he's got all that ordinance in the back of his van, and how he got permits for it; to make for a more legitimate paper trail to it, Ace Freely actually does take security jobs every now and then).

[Digital Heroin]

Gods, you go take an unannounced sabbatical and you miss a lot, eh... no room here is there?

[Aes]

[Kiedo]

Aes is right, send it in. HA my email is working again, I guess it was server side not client side, boya. So yeah definately send it in.

[Digital Heroin]

Sweeet.... perfect timing for five days off...

[Slipshade]

Keido,

I will back out so you can let someone new in. My time is limited and I will be starting Living in the Shadows soon, which will likely take a lot of my time.

Enjoy everyone,

Slip

[Ecclesiastes]

Thanks for the extension to Weds, my weekend was a horrible time vortex that I couldn't escape from.

[Kiedo]

Slideshade: thats very noble of you

Ecclesiastes: not a problem I follow alot of runs on this site, and your characters are very good, so send me a good one oKay?

[Sandoval Smith]

Kiedo, do you have any sort of intial setup in mind? Are we going to be a team that knows each other when the game starts, are we all going to be hired to the same team, should we just all randomly meet within the first few posts?

[Digital Heroin]

I'm adapting and re-forging a recent favorite of mine: Madcap, the Elven adept streetracer who acts like he's an Orc... well, either him or Roadkill... whoever I design and looks more fun on paper gets the submit

[Kiedo]

You'll be a racing organization, with about 40 members. All of the PC's will be the founding members, and to use gang terms, will be the leader and lutenants. I will let all of the players decide things like who the leader is, what the name of the group is and so on.

[Nightcrawler472]

Well, I'm gonna be dropping out of this.

I found out my nan died last night a few hours ago, and I've now absoloutely zero desire/inspiration to do a character.

So, I guess that frees up another slot.

- NC.

[Kiedo]

My condolences, nightcrawler.

[Kiedo]

Today is the deadline you have until midnight to email me your bio and char sheet. I have decided to give myself until friday to decide on the runnners I'm going with but for all practical purposes we will start friday, unless thats a problem for everyone then it's monday.

[Lindt]

Where do we stand as for PCs?
