Umm... I'm sure mortars will alert star pretty fast. other than that... Yea, we WOULD get the tar kicked out of us if they brought mortars, without the mortars, or any other demolitions, I think we'd be fine.

Anyway Wounded Ronin, we aren't getting mad amounts of nuyen for this either. We're getting a "favor".

Bleh, mortar rounds and all night bombarding (besides the Star coming to our rescue) means we all leave.

We've had these discussions already....

ok then... TG has indicated there are, in fact, devices connected to the commlinks we snagged from the robbery... so it's time to find out what they are, and therefore what we can steal

now then, unfortunately i don't have my PDF on this comp... so here goes some guesswork:

Matrix Perception test (to figure out what the heck these devices are)

What devices connected to the commiks did TG refer to?

I don't remember that.

So we can score 4 doses of Nova right then and there, 8 more if we give him 24 hours.

As far as costs go, are we gonna roll up for his opposed rolls or are we gonna wait for TG to roll it up? If it's ok with TG, I'd rather have someone make the opposed negotiation rolls so we can keep this moving and not bog it down anymore.

Thoughts/Opinions?

As a note Jaid: You either use Your resonance+Skill (for threading) or a CF+Skill, not both.

Silo: Jaid had asked awhile back if there were devices subscribed to the commlinks, so that we could maybe snag a free bike, or car, or drone, or track down a residence keyed to an automatic lock.

Seems like the points are all jigglefritzed at the Group Contacts poll site. The totals are all jacked.

I think we need to not track whose points are going where (though I made the exception for TF and Raven) it's a little confusing. To me anyway.

If folks who see this post could go over their sheets and see if I mis-listed their point contributions or if they need to do something with any points that may have been freed up by a contact going into the group contacts (Treeno for BW and Graham for Electrode for example).

So Jaid... You put in 2 to the group contacts. And spent 6 on Graham. To make him into a group contact - unspend the 6 points for him on your sheet, put two more points to group contacts (for a total of for from you) and then you'll have 4 points to rebuy his loyalty. This means you can get his loyalty up to 5 or get it back to 4 and have 1 point to get 2,500 or toss into the group contact pool, or something.

whatever. net result is the same. you may call it what you want

now then, @ dranem:

who's threading what now with resonance?

last time i threaded was for scan (to check the box) and browse (to search the commlinks).

there is no threading in my last post... it's all natural. i have analyze naturally. i get + 2 to matrix perception tests for being a technomancer, and i get home ground (if applicable) naturally. are you perhaps mistaking my intuition for resonance and misplacing 3 with 2 or something? ie, should i be using a program + skill? if so, what skill? that will probably knock 3 dice off of each roll anyways, since i think most of my applicable skills are at 1

heck, i suppose i probably should have gone full VR for another +2 come to think of it... no reason not to as a TM. really, i tend to think of electrode as being in full VR as often as possible anyways, since that's more or less his addiction (and explains why he doesn't often use drugs... well, that and an utter lack of ability to RP drug use on my part lol...) but i just didn't think to give him the bonus... which is ok. i expect those rolls should be enough to at least ID the basic kind of device we're looking at, which is all i want, even if you were to take away a hit or two from each of them.

Thanks Dranem!

Just figured, that Nurse is still there, but then I saw that Wyrm has already sent her a message.

Bye
Thanee

Living alongside Nurse's family has given Wyrm a sortof empathic sense when it comes to people (First Aid 1 ain't hot, but it helps on perception rolls).

If I see someone ain't feelin too hot, I call my nurse!

@ Vegas, Rokur, Silo and Voorhees

Ok we get 4 doses from Rahim (plus 8 tomorrow). The pecise price is not decided yet
-Auran (3 hits so far) gets Homeground (+2) & Teamwork (+4 so far) bonus
-other modifires may aply, to both Auran (I think +2 or +4) and Halo (I think +1 or +3)
-Rahim rolls 8 dice against it.
, but it doesn´t metter that much, for what hapens next.

They should ask Rahim for information and than, we will probably head back to the Y, getting some gear, maybe, on the way. Most of Tao´s "war-gear" is still at Auran´s place.
Or do We have anything else? Oh, yes, CD wanted Bliss, too, and Tao asked for Cram.

jep, sounds good. We would need 12h to find more nova on our own and it still wouldnt be enough.

I´d say, take what we can get and go. No good to walk by all of our contacts, while the Star is out there.

Finished by gear stats contacts and all that..... can some one double check make sure I did every thing right... Thank you

If OPFOR shows up with Fire Support and enough bodies to keep us from leaving the Y, they can have the shoe box, and everything we know about the people who gave it to us. Obviously it's better to have OPFOR owe us a favor then those pansy Circle A elves who are too scared to carry their own shoebox.

We can even offer a foot rub to go with the shoe box.

Second that.

If the Trolls are much more then the Troll-Variant of the Test-Orks, then they win. It´s not worth it, having to run with that box from such strong opposition, to maybe survive and maybe keep the box, then return and have our HG (and what not) down in ashes!

They got explosive mortars (basically anything that fucks up our HQ/Turf), they win!

the410crash is now on the top 7 list at WikiSpaces most active spaces. sr4gangers has dropped to 3rd.

hehe...the410crash had 840 edits. Sparky has 801....lol.

@ The Drug Run
Depending on how much of Aziz's stash he wants to throw in, coupled with the 12 hits we'll get off Rahim wouldn't that help a lot... or Silo are you thinking 25-30 hits on top of both? Not EVERYONE will want to do Nova I'm assuming. We could always ask him to spend another 24 getting us the rest we'll need. Someone's gonna be stir crazy and need to get out of the Y at some point. What better to do than another drug run?!?

Also, CD asked for Bliss but if we can't/don't want to swing it from Rahim, Halo will cover her a bit. Halo also has doses of Cram she might give up to the cause if necessary, if she's compensated or they're replaced in a timely fashion And of course, someone *asks*

TF has one line of nova and IIRC two cram munchies..

Also, I read through the Group Contacts today and now having one bp in excess, I would increas TF´s drugstash anyway (unless the 1 bp is much needed in group contacts). 2,5k buys a lot of nova and cram

EDIT: Vegas, you of all people! Edited Post Icon acordingly. Where is ES Sparky, when I need him.

What? what did I do NOW??

Sorry for being such a headcase yesterday guys. I blame the blueberries in the muffins I made yesterday for making me forget how to do math

performing First Aid on Raven:

@ TG:well, aparently i have computers 2, and that's the skill for matrix perception... so then, my actual matrix perception rolls earlier would be 9 dice, or 7 without home ground... which changes the hits to:

1) 2 hits, 3 with home ground
2) 3 hits, with or without HG
3) 3 hits, with or without HG
4) 3 hits, 5 with HG

Okay, the contacts are in what I think is a pretty final state. Go check out the poll and see if you have any additions/corrections/subtractions.

WR, I put Stryker and Oscar on the group contact list, that means you have 4 points to play with.

The skill group thing was my bad.

Iris Orb OS has Response 3 and Firewall 3 for 1000

Can't he take the Cracking Group at 3 and buy up Hacking to 4? For 34 points, or did I misunderstand that in the book for CharGen?

Not in chargen.

With the standard rules, I think not, or at least he would have to pay for all 4 levels of Hacking. (thats the first thing I changed in my houserules).

Ok changes are made... im not quite sure I know how knowlege skill work..

But by looking at the others it seems to be what builds your character personality and maybe certain things he knows about

For instance

Goblin Rock
Famous DJ
Gang ID
Famous Deckers
Matrix hang outs
Shadowrun MMORPG

Spanish
English (not sure if thats given)



Stuff like that... am I close

Yeah, that's right.

With your LOG and INT you have 27 points to distribute between all of those.

And one of your languages is your Native (free) so you'd only have to spend points on the second (or other multiple)

Just got that all put in, Id like to thank every one for the help and Pacients... Going to go eat lunch real quick then come back. So how would I start this dose some one introduce me into game do I have to wait for Tinker Gnome.....

Ill check back on this later

Once again thanks for the help to all

Electrode would probably be the best to introduce him.

Steel would work well either.

You have to decide, whether your pc is already in or still has to be initiated like Nurse (I´d suggest so, but it´s your choice).

You'll have to get TG's approval on the sheet, but for the most part innocent RP (i.e. no combat/decking specifics) I'd assume would be ok.

Would make sense (to me at least) to possibly have him know one of our other resident Geeks? BronzeWrym, Electrode... or even China Doll or Felix? But those aren't my characters so I'm not gonna volunteer them, just a suggestion. One of you all could bring Goliath "into the fold"

Goliath has no social skills... and is not having Exploit program intended?

That´d be a bad thing Exploit is far more usefull, then Biofeedback Filter, i.e.

Ill make that switch... im not sure what exploit dose but im leaving work now and will read my book a little more when I get home.

I wont start till TG gives me the ok. Mean while iv been reading everythign thats been going on in the Forum.. Good stuff guys

You might alsowant to take a look at the backgrounds and characters of the other pc´s, to connect your pc to one or the other. It can take a while, befor TG has checked your char, as he´s quiet bussy, but as was said earlyer, you can do IC, that doesn´t involve any big mechanics!

Outiside of Spoof and Scan, Exploit is probably the most used hacking program you'll use. Exploit is used to find backdoors in login servers so that you can hack a node and take control of a sytem or device.

From there we're going to have to figure out how you fit in the fold... have you worked up a background file yet Goliath?

Note: Seeing as Goliath is such a game nut, I would recommend you buy points into group contacts like Treeno and Graham (Ork Underground contact) rather than stick yourself with a piddly C1/L1 contact who won't be motivated to help you out of a bind.

Just wanted to let everyone knwo that I'm still alive. My posting has simply slowed down to a crawl since I'm in my last week of school.

All in all, consider Felix is simply warding the HQ, and he'll then crash and sleep on one of the couches

We will see.
