I went with S-K for the same reasons as Shockwave. I won't have to commute so far to get to work that way.

CatCO... I mean, c'mon, the best black ops and spies, a puppet government whose protectionnist stance guarantees a safe "home ground"...
That and the cheap cyberdecks. And the auto-coder. :D |

Personally, I'd run for Novatech. Why? Two reasons:
1) I tend to play extraction experts, and extraction people who know what they're doing are treated well there. 2) Other megacorps are lying, thieving, corporate sharks who would sell their own mothers for 1% of the stock they needed to pour more nuyen into their pockets. Richard Villiers is at least honest about it. |

Novatech definitely. They are young, they are hungry,
and I have a contact there. ;-) Working for SK violates the "never cut a deal with a dragon" rule (even if indirectly). And I seem to recall that Aztechnology has such a crappy reputation in the shadows by the 2060's that their Mr. J's go out of their way to appear to be 'representing' another corp. |

I actually prefer renraku. I mean in one run we hit some of the Red Samurai and they truly impressed my mage. Ever since he has been trying to ingrate himself into Renraku. Taking runs into their Arc anything. The consummate yes mage, unfortunately he is a dwarf and does not realize the laughter is at him not with him. Oh well....... :(

There isn't a good side. This is the same corp whose blood mages used security guards as "batteries." |

SK; I'd rather work for the Dragon than against him. :D
Now how do I place votes for my other characters? ;) |

Ares has my vote - free toys! Almost went S-K, though, 'cause I'd quite like a free BMW...

I'd run for Keruba. Or maybe JRJ. Possibly ORO. I'm a very reasonable person.

Wow, no love for Shiawase at all. I guess MIFD scares a lot of people off.

Personally, I've always loved S-K. Not because Lofwyr's in charge, not because it makes the big munitions, but because I love heavy industry as a concept. And considering SK has control of Krupp Heavy Industries, and the entire Rhine-Rhur factory megaplex, the things they build must be just this side of jaw-droppingly advanced.
And you know... if you're gonna be a company man, it really eases the mind to know the guy who's calling the shots has probably been doing this sort of thing several thousand years longer than the competitors, and will eat anyone who cheeses him off. Though really? I'd run for Transys Neuronet. Just because nothing says staying power like "Hi, we invented cyberware and the datajack?" |

Novatech has my vote any day - they rely heavily on rcruited runners, Lanier and Villiers both know very well what they are doing, and they have access to some nifty tech, a delta clinic and kewl initiatory groups.
Yamatetsu comes a close second, because well... I like Buttercup! Ares, S-K and Aztechnology all fight for the next-to-last position, but MCT is the corp I wouldn't wanna run for. Their research into brain-computer-robotics reeks of Dr.Halberstam, and is bound to attract Deus attention, and they are still very Yak-connected... Yakuza don't tolerate failure well, and I like my fingers. :please: |

But given a FREE choice I'd go with Transys Neuronet.
1) They own the swedish telecom market (makes tapping phones easier, and I might get to call for free! :grinbig:) 2) They have two dragons on board. Dragons with power and secrets (I want to pass through the earth!) 3) They fight against Lowfyr and S-K. 4) They may be the corp who makes breakthroughs in datajacks for dolphins and satyrs - I like dolphins and satyrs. 5) They have an HQ in Stockholm - i live in Stockholm. 6) They have access to a Delta clinic. So there! :elims: |

Given my choice of running for any member of the Big Ten, I'd have to choose Ohio State. Such a tradition of top quality running backs (and track stars, if you prefer that sort of running).

Ares - nice toys.
Yes, I know, evil, bug-trials, etc, etc. But...toys! Anyhoo - it's good to know that a company you might do some biz for will take a stock-beating if/when some nasty rumours about the bug-city fiasco hit the news-nets. You pick up the stock cheap, and might double-cross a few bods that stiffed you earlier as "removing possible sources of unauthorised information dissemination". (That's "shutting a flapping mouth" to all the sams out there, myself included. Damn Corp Ett.) Oh, and the joys of testing new and improved laser tech! |

I'd work for Renraku or Ares. Why? One has nano up to the eyebrows (mono, baby :D ), the other has every X you could put before military: Expiremental, Extraordinary, Extra-ass-kicking :D.
Of course, I'm not that lucky. Right now, the Yaks have me over a barell and forced me to assassinate people pro bono. kill... kill untill the blood washes the hate clean.... but there is so much hate |
