I´d rather want to play instead of shuffeling around contacts either, I only wanted to have this issue sorted out and closed.
I´m sorry, that the contact-wiki was busted, it wouldn´t have been hard to finish this topic with the stuff up there.

Maybe, we should simply say, there are no group contacts, only personal ones, like TG suggested. I did so in my last gang champaign, too, after puting everything up as groups as well. Later, I decided, there would allways be one or another pc, that had the best link to any contact and simply loosened up a bit on the pc A can´t efectively use pc B´s contact thing.

On the other hand, shared personal contacts would be cool, IMO.

EDIT:

whatching the wiki, I get the impression, that I killed the group contact pool with my stierup

It definitly makes stuff less beurocratic (however this is spelled). Could we get a rule on shared contacts anyway?

EDIT: I feel like the destroyer of worlds (only less happy as this feeling usually makes me)

Set up a Poll at the group contact space. Pleas vote, if you want group contacts at all.

If the answer is No, we could still decide later, if players who want to, can make thair personal contacts into group contacts or if we scrap the whole concept.

I posted again without reading everything else.

Sorry if JJ is about to make a mistake by shooting these guys, but hey...you all knew it was going to happen at some point. This just gets his first one out of the way sooner rather than later.

But seriously, I don't pull knives at gun fights. And, 5 orks heavily armed (JJ carries a light pistol, so i consider anyone with a shotgun HEAVily armed) screams gun fight to me.

I personally think we are out gunned so far at the SS even though we have superior numbers. JJ will be using everything at his disposal.

And on the loot... The Stuffer only gets back half. We get a bonus when drek like this happens.

With 3 in Thyn's truck on-route and Raven's elemental, I don't think we're too overpowered at the SS.

Made some Perseption & Asensing teste in advance for the astral trip at houston.

EDIT2: Ah fantastic, the editing ate my rolls

EDIT: Uh, can somebody tell me how these spoilers work correctly, please?

you just put a [ spoiler] tag at the front of what you want to be inside, and a [ /spoiler] tag at the end.

naturally, you remove the spaces

incidentally, considering the three people inside thyn's van won't be getting there until combat round 3 (by which time the other guys will have made 6 IPs worth of actions), and that they aren't very well armed (one gun and one other weapon between the three of them, iirc) i don't consider them too well off. if they get desparate, they can give Electrode a call and he'll see about turning on their VR and hitting them with blackout or something though (assuming they have Sim modules on them of course) =P

i still haven't posted, though i expect i'll be following along to the meet with the ancients.

i don't think TG will have any problems with my character, as soon as he notices i don't have either the alpha or the lynx =P

Try to hit your back button. That got them back for me before off of an edit munch.

could very well be... i think Feshy has commented to me in the past that the boards don't like spoilers inside of spoilers

generally speaking, it makes it so you can't edit it i think. you'd have to ask Feshy for more details on how exactly the boards respond to it =P

To my knowledge, all countries still carry hard currency. The "nuyens" is the international virtual money. All cash that is converted into data in converted in nuyens. In the UCAS they have UCAS$, just like in the Republic of Quebec (in SR, not this one ) they use the Nouveau Franc.

Basically it's like now, but with debit cards being MUCH MORE conveinient.

Maybe we should make combat declarations on a page setup in the wiki for every combat?

It's pretty hard to find them in this 'mess' here already.

P.S. MisterJuan: The spirit's hits reduce yours before figuring the number of services on the summoning roll, you only get the net hits.

I've added an actions heading to the combat page in the wiki, where the current actions are collected with links to the posts here.

Cammy is going to run out of the shadows and attempt to cave some's head in with a titanium baton as soon as one of her friends is in danger or her side starts clearing away opposition.

She'll come to the aid of:

Aziz
Raven
Toy Robot
Felix
Neo
JJ

...in that order of preference. She wouldn't come to the aid of Raven's spirit at all because she doesn't know whose it is (mostly she just makes TF explain that sort of thing and he isn't here). Once combat has been initiated, she's going to start yelling in an attempt to draw fire. She considers only Neo to be a preferable target for them to shoot at than herself (him being an "invincible" troll after all).

Since it is entirely possible that Cammy will end up with injury or friends in melee modifiers by going so late in the round, I'll wait on actually rolling dice for a bit.

bladepoet: You might want to check that timestamp for your post, should be more like 20:07:00, or somewhere about that time.

It'd be easier to see combat posts (or other posts directly related to IC) if we give them a heading.

I suggest:

What/where it relates to
Timestamp
PC Name
Specific Identifier

And, put it in yellow.

Basically, if we all used this format for every roll, it would make it easy to distinguish which posts are just discussion and which directly result from an IC post.

My example is the post I made on this page. (but, I didnt' timestamp it cuz it really wasn't necessary since it can be tracked by combat turns.)

For combat posts, I'm liking the collection on the Wiki. It really makes the process so very much easier.

Anyway, we're almost at the end of pass 1. There's one PC getting shot at to resolve and there are two PCs that haven't acted (Cammy and Felix) and can change their actions around if they wish. Raven can also tweak her action a bit if she wants.

I'll move this ahead when JJ dodges/resists damage. The other group will get a move-ahead later today, too.

One thing I'll add is that I'd appreciate it if everyone includes the damage and AP of their attack along with the roll. That way it's just boom boom, done.

whoa! we get home turf on defense rolls? SWEET!

Hmm not sure on that hey, defence is not exactly an active skill.

Looks correct to me.

I'm just wondering how that one orc ended up with 13 boxes of damage.

AFAIK, Neo's attack has a DV of 7P and he had 5 hits; isn't more than 12 impossible?

Could it be, that you forgot to halve the Str before applying it to the DV?

Not that I mind the orc being down...

Thanee

Damage:

Strength 9, Critical Strike 3 for a base of 9/2 + 3 or 8.

You round up strength when you halve it.

He was a horribly unlucky guy, though since he defended with 9 dice and resisted damage with 12 and came up with a big fat 0 successes.

Felix
Combat Turn #1
Resisting Improved Invisibility Spell

Well, I see it as something Felix would do out of instinct... I mean, there's a guy SHOOTING at his friend and HITTING him.
Hopefully, he'll take the full force of the spell.... should do about 9S damage

@nick012000
Since Neo has two IP, you might want to already call your rolls for the next pass.

This is in advance, for the IC post, that will probably follow TG´s next post for the Slam-Group.

Observe in detail from the car (Teamwork with Auran), reposted from eons ago.

No, I think it´s P, because, the Ork got 1 net hit through (6P) and the modified Armor is 5 (Armor Penetration -1).

Hey... check out the410crash... it's coming along. It may not look too exiting (or even very different from our current page), but it's nice and tidy. I'm still cranking away at getting sheets ported (thanks Dranem), but most of all.... check out the logo at the top.

It's all retro (because all I had to work with was MS Paint ). There is a less compressed bmp uploaded to the site if you want to see it in all its 150x150 non-jpg glory.

I'm pretty jazzed, since I'm not a digital artist (or even much of a traditional artist ).

Yea, I like it, too, very cool.

Gymnastics, Unarmed Combat, and Dodge are all active skills. Reaction is not. So Home Turf adds to a character's defense pool in melee combat and at range when they take a Full Defense action. But it doesn't help against a ranged attack if you don't take a full defense action. In the future you should probably take cover behind a car when shooting people.

Resistance against Invisibility:

Does Slam have some standing orders on how the gang is supposed to act initially?

Granted we'll deviate immediately, the conflict will be what provides us with drama, but it would be interesting to now what they are to start with.

OK, let's see. I don't know when the next combat turn starts or when this one has been fully resolved, but if Toy heard shots outside she can probably deduce that her gang (the owners of the turf) have started to intervene.

Furthermore, she probably would want to run out and stab someone instead of using her usual spray and pray tactics with the AK so as not to have friendly fire incidents. (Or to have her own gang think that it's OPFOR using an automatic weapon from inside the SS.) This also lets me sidestep the issue of my not knowing whether it would have been 'realistic' for Toy to be lugging that AK with her to the store when shopping for dinner.

This is just to let everyone know what my character would probably do IC if there's another combat turn.

Now, I noticed that some people are rolling Intuition to see if they can see the invisible opponent or not. I don't know if it's appropriate for me to do so but I'll make the roll here so that we can save time if it is needed.
