Full Version: OOC: The Fix is In
I'm trying not to hog IC time.
i still don't get auto-notification messages. that's annoying.
BBO agrees to the job. And now he is waiting...^^
On the news today. An ancient dragon has eaten nicko. In an unrelated incident, Nu_Fenix is found missing this morning. Dragons are probably involved. And that's right: he was found missing.
I'm here.
Well, please post. I'm moving things along tomorrow morning. If negotiations have not been attempted by then, they're not going to be attempted.
Well, I don't think BBOs style of negotiations is, what is needed here... 
Well, I figured the face adept might want to give it a try since her dice pool is obscene.
Her dice pool is not the only obscene thing on her. 
Freebird don't negotiate much. He mostly just nods.
Did I read right that we are getting 10,000 nuyen each and 20% of that upfront?
That is correct. So 2k up front and 8k on completion.
EACH?!
Yes, each.
It's not like the guy isn't guarded.

Sweet.
So, about that per diem...
So, about that per diem...
Heh, "per diem" is another way of saying "negotiations". If someone wants to roll on it, feel free. With two grand up front, there ain't no per diem.
The best I got is 6 dice to intimidate the guy.
Somehow... somehow I think that's not the best course of action.

Come on, let the cute one seduce the guy into giving us 20k instead of 10k.
I think, in Razorblade's case, 'cute' is probably not entirely appropriate.
Ok then. Let the awesome, beautiful, charming, dazzling, enticing, foxy, gorgeous chick do it. (I was going to do all the letters but 'h' is tough 
)
)
'hawt'
k... k is hard..
Wow I'm bad at this. And well, i and j come before k. Irresistable. 'j' I dunno and k is hard lol.
Ok enough of this. Come on guys, post something!

I gave our face an opening, just waiting for nick/she to pick it up.

I know .. it was directed at nick and fenix.
maybe they need a friendly kick from beneath the table.
Negotiations test: 6,6,6,6,6,5,5,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,1: 10 hits, no glitch.
Her approach is so...subtle. ^^
And an idea: Possibly it's better to give the dice rolls unsorted. This makes it easier for the GM to use additional modifiers.

Alright, updated offer. Ask any questions you might have now as the meet will be ending with the next post (Monday).
Well we might have questions on the information we get, if the info is incomplete or to verify its quality. That could be done ooc'ly I guess.
Well, the info you get is going to be pretty basic. I have to throw it together. Essentially, it's the guy's cyberware listing (as registered with the League), the team schedule for the week, and the hotels that the team is probably staying at. It'll be complete as far as those items go.
how would the betting lines be affected by a late "will not play" call?
if it happens early in the week and is known, the lines will adjust themselves. but, if it happens late....

Silo gets a bonus karma point for being perceptive.
The Johnson did indicate that the injury should occur on Friday or later. Seeing as how it's Wednesday night, I don't think you guys could pull it off before that.

TG: to be fair, Sparky seems to have thought of it first as Fade thinks about betting on the team in the IC post..
My post for Fade didn't highlight the timing of our caper, so I won't begrudge Silo any karma for that. But thanks, gobogen.
Bah, Sparky, gob, and Oracle all end up with a karma for being very active this week.
Who's Bah?
lol...bah humbug is going to be my next character's name.
Nu_Fenix, I put the time only a little after when you said Eddy showed up. If that's not cool, let me know.
Anyone have a safehouse or other secure location where we can discuss plans? Fade is running one down just in case we don't.
Not me...but I wish I did have one.
Finding a safe house shouldn't be a problem if you have a fixer, though expect to pay a little for it. From an initial look at the data you have, it's apparent that the team you're intending to hit will be spending a significant amount of time in Everett.
I'm working on the materials right now.

Okay, well consider a request in to Chok to line up a place for us. If nothing else a place where we can do some early planning and get sorted out. If we need something more specific or different after that we can get that later.
Cool with folks?

So, who's going to place bets on Seattle?
So, are we going to start the planning?
If the guy we're after's married, I reckon that Razorblade could probably just seduce him, then use a recording of the sex as blackmail.
If not, she could seduce him, than afterwards, get him to come over to 'her place', where the rest of you guys can jump him.

Plan A is very risky since he might not care about the blackmail and we have no way of figuring that out. Well unless I mind probe him, which I would. I think it would actually be easier to mind probe him first and find out what we could blackmail him with if anything is possible in that regard, or maybe mind probe him while you're seducing him, I dunno.
Plan A2: Mind Probe might reveal his whereabouts. Get him and break something.
Plan B: It is probably a very good shot if we don't find any way of making plan A work.
Plan B2: Control Thoughts on the guy to get him to go where we're waiting for him.
Plan C: Snipe the guy's shoulder with explosive ammunition, anyone good at that?
Plan D: Any other ideas?

*raises a finger* "Me!"
But possibly we should take this discussion into the inplay thread. BBO already has some ideas.
Sure thing.
We'll probably all say what we have to say again in character, but some things are more easily said ooc. IC you sort of need to wait for everyone's answers and it can get slow imho.

Whoops. I meant to add something about that. I edited the Johnson's last bit in the IC thread.
Also, the Johnson indicated (and it's generally true) that blackmail of football players is difficult because people pretty much expect them to be animals. If you get some footage of him raping a nun while burning an orphanage and shooting the fleeing children, that might work. Anything less... not so likely.
And a general note on posting and actions. I'm horrible at reading comprehension sometimes, so if you need anything from me in an IC post, I highly suggest you also put up an OOC post directed at me. I'd even go so far as to encourage a format like this:
GM: I am going to call xxx and ask about a safehouse near yyy.
It seems a hassle to do, but it'll really make life easier for everyone in the end.
i'm new to playing by post, so am i supposed to relate everything i am doing, including things away from the other party members in the IC thread?
it isn't secretive stuff...but i am not sure.
and, sorry about leaving, but fuck, its been days since anyones posted. it was either leave or start shooting the silent ones....
