Is anyone who heard Treeno comment about covering for the 410 Crash going to pass that along to the rest of the gang?
While I can understand the thrill seekers ignoring Treeno's whining about bullets flying around hitting innocent civilians, it might be important to note that the Star was specifically asking about the gang. |
JJ let a few people know and will let the rest now when he returns to the HQ.
I would imagine that everyone assumes the Star talked to every shop owner in the vicinity of the SS as well as a local hangout like the Zo e.
But, I'll mention it to them. JJ doesn't see it as something that needs immediate broadcasting.

@MK - you can never know your contacts moods to you... Your contacts may not like you, but they will help you out etc. You can't assume he's always friendly, or advantageous, or others. Hell, he could be racist against elves for all I know! |
Sure, you can never be, that was just what I would assume. TG has to make the call obviously. But by listing the possible modifires and rolling with then assuming the best, you can just speed things up. TG can allways ignore the last x results, thats the beauty of a dice roller

Or she's just someone in the neighborhood. Y'know someone we'd "know of" but not necessarily *know* like a contact or anything. I mean with as small as the turf is and with how many of us grew up around there, I'd assume we'd know a LOT of the people who belong there and those that don't.
@GM if I'm wrong, please straighten me out

That's what I meant by random person.
I'd imagine we know EVERYONE on our turf. I mean, come on, it is only like two streets. Speaking of which...we need to expand.
What is the interpretation of the gang zones?
Is there buffer between our turf and the next gang's turf?
Who are the gangs next to us?
What is our feeling towards them?
...Just some things that probably need to be worked out.

Outside of using the barely used 'Discussion' Tab in the wiki, private messages here on the board, I guess the only other alternative would be IRC... irc.dumpshock.com for all your chat needs |
The discussion tab on the Wiki is too clunky for speedy stuff not to mention not friendly to multiple people trying to edit it at the same time, and PM's are slow and take up so much "space".
IRC makes sense, if the servers weren't all FUBAR'ed and if people actually used them

I'm bored, I set up #410Crash on irc.dumpshock.com

@ Goliath
I think you have overspent 20 bp! I counted 330 (-10 for Sensitive System). So you should get enother 20 bp worth of negative Qualities or cut the character some..
You may allso consider to put some points into contacts.
HeySparky
Apr 11 2006, 06:58 PM
I've entered your info into
Goliath's character sheet at the wiki site. You were spending 40 points separately on the 3 skills of the Cracking Group, and getting the Cracking group is a better use of points so I put them together into Cracking 4.
By my calculations you're 20 bp over. Someone check my math, please.
MK Ultra
Apr 11 2006, 07:00 PM

ok 6 BP translates into 15000
comms have ratings. Signal (How good your connection is) and Response (how good the processor is - thus is affected by amount of programs running at once). you also have to buy an operating system for it(OS) which have firewall (duh!) and System (max rating of your programs) ratings in them. So buy 1 commlink, and buy 1 OS for it, and that is you.
Programs -
common use programs = (not sure, but analyze, browse, command, edit and others)
Always available
prices = for rating 1-3 = rating *50
for rating 4-6 (though currently max rating is 4) = rating *100
hacking programs = (attacks, black stuff, and exploit, etc)
Availability = Rating *2 (so your current max rating 3.... since max avail is 6)
prices = for rating 1-3 = rating *500

Finally
Agents (Jones....)
Availabilty = Rating *3 (so current max is rating 2)
prices = for rating 1-3 = rating *1000

think you can figure it out from here???

The
Old Wiki China Doll character sheet here has an example of a commlink and programs. Probably close to what you will want, thought your programs will focus on hacking and combat rather then commanding drones.

So, when buying up ratings... if you want a level 3 program you have to pay for levels 1, 2 AND 3, right?
Dranem
Apr 11 2006, 10:34 PM
No, you just buy the program at level 3. Otherwise you have 2 redundant programs and 10 times the cost.

So, just to make sure that I understand t3h battle plan...
There's 3 teams, and 1 decoy? One team would get the box, another would grab the decoy, and the teams would run around randomly?
MK Ultra
Apr 11 2006, 11:03 PM
We are going to produce another decoy, so 2 de, 1 real.
EDIT: The plan is not to run, unless absolutely necessary. Then we would split up into the teams..
Wounded Ronin
Apr 11 2006, 11:11 PM
Well, the strategy dosen't matter too much to me in the end, but for a poorly armed gang isn't hunkering down a bad idea? OPFOR can just hammer the hideout with artillery and crap and keep it surrounded. If there's a seige the poorly armed gang loses.
Instead if we scatter and run around like chickens with our heads cut off it's harder to bring concentrated firepower to bear and there's a higher probability of the box simply not being found by OPFOR.
Meh, whatever. In character I'm not sure how my character would think because she's not very strategic in the first place.

Damn, JAX isn't excited is he?

And, so as far as the box goes. We don't know who knows (if anyone) besides the A's that we even have the damn thing.. so it's just as likely that the majority of the 3 days might coast by, on the other hand... Double crosses and all kinds of "fun" stuff are possible.

Well, the stuff I said is more strateic rather than tactical. What I mean is that it's not on the level of detail where we'd have to look at maps because I'm not talking about specific manuvers yet.
It's just that it seems to me that a raggedy bunch of teenagers who hunker down in a makeshift hideout is probably going to lose if OPFOR simply lays seige. If we're in a building, but the building gets surrounded and someone starts dumping mortar rounds onto that building, we're basically screwed.
On the other hand, if three groups of raggedy teenagers run screaming randomly around the city anyone would have a hard time following them all.
See, there are just general statements of principle, so they don't involve maps just yet.
EDIT: Heh, not sure I can bring this up IC because Toy might not be smart enough to articulate this through language barriers and all. She's definitely more of a follower than a leader.
HeySparky

OPFOR? Good lord man, who do you think is coming after us? I think this is a fine plan for a bunch of punks to have cooked up.
And, if you look, we're actually doing what you say - scattering to the winds.

Only bad thing is that I don't think anyone has remembered any of the boxes.

We can discuss it here anyway. Some of the many pcs or npcs could have brought it up.

Keep in mind, we're all 14-19 year old
Street kids not hardened Shadowrunners, or ex-millitary. Not saying we don't have strategy or we're all stupid, but we also haven't been in a gang together for what, more than a month or 2 tops?
Yeah, no one took boxes because we didn't take our entire teams nor did we expect to be out for hours or anything while scoring some Nova.
