How about that?
QUOTE (Aziz)
"Tao!", he says cheerily, releasing him from his grip. "How are things? How's your little flower? She's such a sweet girl.", he says, obviously very pleased with himself.


QUOTE (MK Ultra)

Also, TF is trying to Judge Intention (SR4 p. 130) with Aziz remark about Rachel, to find out if it is genuin. It is an oposed test against his Charisma+Willpower.

Charisma (3) + Intuition (5) + Damage (-2) = 6 dice

Oh. Aziz was just making the point that Tao had a girlfriend while Tao was snuggling up against Halo.

I hear Tao is very good with hands, so quick you can't even see them move.

@Voorhees Long Haul is 500 a pop according to TG pricing on the wiki? But I see you do have a few doses on hand.

Ah the struggle to find the next weeks dose...
DireRadiant
As far as Slam being our not so interactive gang leader, there's always the neat trick, "Hey, I just spoke to Slam, and he says....", "I checked with Slam and he thinks we should..." etc etc

You could give Aziz 500 nuyen and he'd give you one.

The trick is, don´t move them nyahnyah.gif

Yea, we should use such phrases, at times. Especially for stuff decided communally in OOC. Least Slam isn´t much of a leader, any more (more kind of like a fixer).
MK Ultra
QUOTE (Voorhees)

TF would, too, but his doctor would strongly object (and is probably right).

For a dose, Halo will give Aziz umm... her first born... er no that's not it... sex... nope not that either... ummm yeah, money it is! biggrin.gif
Rokur
So, uh quick question for all i guess...

Is Seattle now converted to Metric? or still in it's own "american" measuring system.

(i.e. pounds vs kilos, feet vs meter, ounces vs liters, miles vs kilometers... etc etc)
Fresno Bob
I don't think Aziz would say no to sex. He might kind of outright reject the idea, but if Halo took him to bed, and then when he woke up, he was missing a dose of Long Haul... well, he wouldn't be too angry.

Although, he just took long haul so he wouldn't be asleep.

Oh my god, I just thought of something awesome. Long haul sex. People on meth will have sex for long periods of time... imagine what you could do with three days of total awareness.
Vegas
I always got the impression it was all Metric now. Since all the shit in books is metric. *shrug*

I didn't mean that Aziz would object... just that Halo wouldn't do it in the first place. Flirt to shit and back hell yes, hop into bed with people.. not so much.

EDIT: Long Haul Sex.
Talk about screwing your brains out till you collapse and sleep for HOURS wink.gif
MK Ultra
Being european, I avoided non-metric measures like sciontology, in all rpg´s, so I´d definitly say yes nyahnyah.gif

Yeah, I got that thats what you meant.

Although now that Halo and Aziz had an argument, if this was a movie, they'd probably be banging by the end of it.
Jaid
pretty sure shadowrun in general is converted to metric. probably has something to do with the fact that the japanese megacorps were pretty much the dominant force for quite a while.

certainly, it would be a lot easier to go with metric on account of that way we don't have to convert any of the stuff in the rulebooks.

now then, in answer to an earlier question regarding A-team music.... no promises. i should warn you that Electrode has speakers with him pretty near all the time, and that you can find just about anything on the matrix if you're patient enough. including old, cheesy TV show theme songs. in fact, *especially* old, cheesy TV show theme songs nyahnyah.gif

anywho, given he has the matrix to keep him happy (and lots of stuff to do over the next three days... cracking software protections, possibly registering sprites, who knows?)

THATS AWSOME, you cold watch most tv-show-DVD-boxes in one uninterupted session, without the nasty attention lapses. biggrin.gif

That´s exactly what you had in mind, right nyahnyah.gif

Oh, wait a sec. you could do a compleat shadowrun, using SR3 combat rules, with pc´s and npc´s ini, bod and hardened armor maxed out in a mass combat and finish it in one session!!! eek.gif

EDIT: Though I dont get, what the reference to meth sex is all about nyahnyah.gif

EDIT 2:
For Long Haul sex, you´d probably need slip-spray, too.

So, what is going on with gang contacts? Do we have any? Does anyone know anyone that sells drugs?

JJ doesn't have any personal contacts, and was planning to rely on the gang ones.

....what to do?
Vegas
Halo's got knowledge of where the good "drug dealers" hang, plus if they go to someone she's never delt with before (while risky on one hand) she gets bonuses for negotiation wink.gif

Or if we don't have a direct drug dealer personal contact/gang contact maybe it's time to call in the fixers?

QUOTE
Fixer: (Flyby - former rigger/smuggler)
The group fixer has not deep loyalty to the 410, but is a good person to keep in touch with for street knowledge and special items that we normally wouldn't be able to get. The fixer in reality keeps touch on many gangs to spot up-and-coming Shadowrunners that he can hire as needed.

Ork Underground/Fixer: Graham C2/
Graham is the main point contact for the Underground in the region. The ex-smuggler is a good contact person for hard to get black market goods or rare items.

Weapons Dealer: (Sgt. Striker)
While it makes sense for some gang members to have a personal weapons dealer, the group as a whole should have means to get weapons, ammunition and other accessories.

Drug Supplier: (Treeno - BTLs, Rahim Mehta - general)
We have gang members to sell drugs and BTL's, but what do we use a source? Individual members may have an exclusive supplier, but if we want to deal on the streets, a common contact might be warranted.

Street Doc: (Doc Blue)
If we're going to rumble, we'll need a way to fix ourselves. While we do have gang members that can heal, the street doc can heal higher levels of damage and can implant ware for those who want improvements.

Fence: (Nexus)
The gang steals loot, well, we need a fence of pawn shop dealer we can sell the goods to


OK, so, for group contacts, by the points listed on the old wiki, we have enough to buy everyone with connection 2 and loyalty 1 with 3 points to spare.... If we go buy the suggestion still up on the wiki, people can increase loyalty to any contact, with their own bp. Pending GM approval... does this sound good to just do? and someone (anyone) can assign the extra 3 points to connection for any others....


PS - let's go say hi to Rahim it seems....

[edit] OK, so, I'm off for the night, if you guys wanted to move ahead to get started leaving for the drug run, then go right ahead, JJ has full use of the bike with Auran as a rider. etc. etc.[/edit]
Silo
Cool. I just noticed also that I have Street Knowledge "Downtown Drug Dealers". LOL...guess I know where some are too. Trying Rahim first though would be the best idea.
MK Ultra
Second that.

On Group Contacts, I like the suggested system (as stated befor).

Stryker was only C1, though. Flyby and especially Doc Blue should be C3. If there are still spare points, we might want to pic Rahim as a group contact (just makes sense), he was C2, IIRC.
MK Ultra
@ Kartijan

If you like, you can make a CHA+INT check, to see if Nurse gets any extra intel from Tao´s uncontrolled background-thought-chatter
Dranem
I like that idea... I've been sitting that suggestion since I gathered up the contacts wink.gif
Vegas
Contacts work for me.

Makes sense to buy up the loyalty on the Doc higher and maybe either our Fence or our Drug Dealer up too with those extra 3 points.
Dranem
Query: I noticed DireRadiant's rolls for the commlinks...
The way I understood Spoof was to send commands to a camera or drone that you didn't have direct control over. Spoof is a short term hack-control. Wouldn't Edit or Exploit be more appropriate to perform a more permanent change to the commlink?
Silo
Question about spoofing datatrails. On page 224 in the book it says:

QUOTE
Any hacker worth his name will either spoof his commlink’s access
ID on a regular basis; this requires a Hacking skill + Spoof program
(2) Test. Alternately, you can modify the hardware itself
to supply a bogus code with a Hardware + Logic (2) Test.


So, does the hardware modification last forever?
MK Ultra
Probably until you need a new bogus code.

@ Vegas
The loyalty would have to be bought up by every pc seperately, to raise it higher then 1, thats why I was only adressing conections rating (which allso determins regular dice pools!).

I put up a description of TF´s creepy basement room at the wiki.

Especially like to hear Sparky´s and Vegas´ opinion and suggestions!
Silo
If that is the case, then JJ won't need China Doll to mess with his 'link. He'll do it himself at the HW level.

@Vegas - good idea to use the SS cash!

I think we are doing a good job of RPing some ganger punks. I mean, I think this is totally what they'd do. Get lucky and get some loot from someone else's robbery, get a major undertaking thrown on to them, decide to get fucked up and use the loot to finance it.

Genius.

Keeping the teams together so they can help each other out, if necessary, seems like a good idea, as does staying on our Home Ground (for obvious reasons wink.gif).

On Teams


I´d have suggested Cammy to be in the 3rd team 1st, becoause TF doesn´t like her around (though he won´t tell this), 2nd, because she´s got 1st Aid IIRC, but nobody else in team 3 has.

Perhaps Slam is/was secretly a doctor/nurse nyahnyah.gif Y'know, Street thug and gangster by night taking lives, nurse by day saving lives. Hee. The thought of that just amuses me to no end.

Probably because I'm half asleep and haven't had my coffee yet.

I figured it out! Slam´s secret, now it all makes sense. He got his arm through SeaYayYey contacts, after it was cut off by his father in law, because he used it to flush broke the toilet! When his father in law recouvered from the LSD and recognized, that Slam´s parents where total hippies, and allso found out, that Slam WAS a former Baseball Pro, he snapped and sent the MIB after him.

When Slam took controll, he started an elaborete plan, to use reverse psychology, to build up an army against Jack.

His real name is Gaylord Focker eek.gif

We will be fockerized, resistance is futil cyber.gif

I apologize for the "huge" time jump in Halo's post... Please don't kill me! I hope y'all can work around it n' stuff. I'm just gonna be out of pocket for the rest of the day, and depending on how much fun is had tonight, some/most of tomorrow biggrin.gif So I wanted to post up something so I wasn't holding up the rest of y'all if you want to get started on the drug run.

Mmm mmm Mmm Mojitos! Go go gadget Vegas!

Just as I was going to post interaction betweem TF & Halo in Combat-Sequence, time resolution. Now I have to wait, maybe until tomorow night, which is monday morning over here, just to know your Initiative, when Peanut botches his Logic+Intuition and starts (fake-)atacking her biggrin.gif
