Yes, make up whatever boring and mundane details you want about these guys.
And to answer your earlier question, yes, your high lifestyle covers cabs within reason. I was just reminding BR since Carla is maintaining Low lifestyle (if I recall correctly).

What's it going to take to replace the front door on the church? I recall that the door was shattered to pieces, so I guess they'll need to buy/build a new one.

Looks like I cross posted you. I edited the beginning of my post to match yours.
The door is a role-playing thing. No need for it to be a huge problem. If you were frantically building fortifications to hold off an army of zombies, THEN we can start rolling Carpentry tests.
For now, let's say the priests have some tools and lumber, and with a morning of sweaty work, Paddy can have the doors repaired.
Everyone
As we know, Mister Juan is quite busy starting his own business. I am certain he will be back with us soon, but until then, he has agreed that I should play Paddy as needed to keep things moving.
Mostly, though, if you want to conduct reasonable actions, just assume he cooperates - no need to wait on me every time you want to move the action forward.

Well, just when we make arrangements to handle Mister Juan's absence, he shows back up!
Very very pleasing.
Mister Juan, shall we wait for your posts as usual, or was that a happy moment of free time but you will still be mostly out of it for a while?
In any case, as noted earlier, the door is just roleplaying fluff.
The ball is fully in y'all's court. Do whatever roleplaying you feel inclined to, or proceed with actions as you will.

No problem.
If you guys have RP things you want to get done, no worries. Most anything you do that does not involve game-related benefits or key NPC interactions, I will mostly sit back and let you write your stories.
So if I don't contribute much in the RP fluff category, it's not cuz I'm not interested or disapproving. I just don't want to interfere. And I hope you will let me know if you need anything.
At the same time, just post away IC or OOC any time you want to pursue "shadowrunny" stuff, and we will be all over that as well.
Just letting you know I'm around while you all do your individual things.

I just know that "The clock is ticking" to find Esmerelda now... so I was hesitant to run off doing too much fluffy stuff and effectively take myself back out of the "group"
But hey, if it's gonna take Conall and Carla a little while to fix the door...
About how long is that supposed to take?
adamu
Jun 20 2007, 02:40 PM
As I have mentioned above at least twice, it is done when they IC it is done. It is not an issue. Finished by noon, I think I said.
Vegas - if you go off and do RP with Tuesday, cool. It is totally easy for you to just write an IC line like, "they did some Bliss and then Etain left" and poof, you are a cab ride away from the group.
I had arranged to sort of run Paddy sometimes when needed to move things along, but in the role of GM temporarily playing PC it is much more appropriate to be follower than leader. But then MJ posted, so I am confused as to whether he is "back" or not, so not sure if I should post for him still or not.
But yes, the game-time clock is ticking. That said, you are all free to do both what you feel is in your characters' nature and also what you feel is the best course toward achieving your goals.

AdamuWhy go to the mountain when you can bring the mountain to you?
Figured spoiled as she once was, she'd rather see if Tuesday would come to her and bring her things instead of going there....
[ Spoiler ]
I would like to have her score some hits of bliss off Tuesday when she gets there. Fully expecting to purchase them off her (assuming she's carrying) or make arrangements to get it from her/Elaine later. I just didn't know what cost we were running with (DITG contraband or something of your own design) so I didn't want to assume I could just have it happen, or if it needed more RP/attention. I'm perfectly happy to hand-wave it aside with a couple lines in a post if that works for you, or whatever.

Just to let you know, Carla's plans for the rest of the day are working her day job at the clinic. She will be leaving the bulk of the investigating up to the elves. That said, I won't have anything significant to post IC unless one of the other characters contacts Carla (or if Adamu has a surprise encounter in store for her.)
adamu
Jun 22 2007, 02:05 PM
Well, you never know when the surprises will come - that's the neat thing about surprises.
But the name of the game these days is player proactivity. Can't keep forcing you along forever - can be more exciting, but eventually you wake up and realize you're not running your character, you're just reacting to the GM.
So the phase you guys are in right now, it's all about you guys' actions. Nothing about that will stop me from tossing a curveball in whenever the outline or preset parameters call for it. And it gives you the freedom to try solving your problems using any approach you wish.
Plus, it gives you the option to emphasize RP or more hardcore shadowrunning depending on your preference (although the way I see it, there is plenty of opportunity for the former in the latter anyway, but not always vice versa).
Anyway, this is my wordy way of saying it is really all on you guys right now. And the clock is ticking.

Vegas Just realized I had forgotten to respond to your last OOC post. Sometimes I answer questions in my head at work and then my mental organizer scratches them off my list of things to do. And then I got home and was way too caught up in the new White Stripes album to think clearly.
[ Spoiler ]
You can easily score Bliss off of Tuesday. The way I see your addiction right now, the problems you face are (1) inter-character conflict (2) loss of your former identity (3) increasing addiction (it'll happen eventually barring intervention), and (4) degraded performance as a runner. Money and availability are the least of your problems. Even though you haven't established a lifestyle, the cost of a hit a day is negligible, and Tuesday will always have plenty, as will any street dealer anywhere, including a block from the church steps you are sitting on. Also, MONEY is not what Tuesday is interested in - she has all she needs. Any gift of Bliss she provides should be accompanied by increasingly insistent pleas for time alone with Etain, and that is basically for one reason, even if she does not acknowledge that to herself.
So within those Bliss-scoring parameters, you should be free to proceed.
Sorry about the delay, and be sure to let me know anything else you need.

adamu
Jun 26 2007, 03:52 AM
Okay - looks as though you guys have basically decided to check out Ground Zero tonight.
So do whatever RP you feel you need (Vegas, Tuesday will show up whenever - you have your parameters), and also feel very free to accelerate time up to the evening or whenever you want to do this.
Feel free to coordinate OOC (all I would need is a brief IC mention that "planning" or "commcalls" took place). Even feel free to appoint one player the "caller" who will announce the actions of the whole party just up to getting everyone to the club.
Whatever.
But I will tell you, there is no reason for just coordinating all of your arrivals to be a huge, week-long logistical nightmare.
And RP-wise, I will tell you that Paddy is tired of all this mucking about and eager to go chase down some leads!
MK Ultra - the data searches you mentioned IC - they will get you the information on those gangs from the Down in the Gutter wiki. And if you do more data searches, you can get whatever else you want from that wiki - it is all information that is available in chat rooms and so forth.

Hey all,
I'm out of pocket the next couple of days. Might have access to read (depending on cell coverage) but little to no ability to post (I'm not typing out a huge post on my cellphone)
I'll try to get a comprehensive time-passes post for Etain to work in all the "filler" downtime when I get back on Friday.
If anyone pushes forward, assume Etain goes along to the club.
adamu
Jun 27 2007, 08:03 AM
Vegas - thank you so much for the heads up.
You heard her, folks, let's not let her brief absence hold up getting to Ground Zero. In fact, one less person in the mix should make it easier.
What I am thinking is that about 24 hours from now you all should at least be physically en route to the club. That gives anyone that wants time to IC for the daytime, and then work out transport.
Unless otherwise stated, I will assume the twins take the bike.
Except for Krait, we already know Carla wants to leave the church at 8:30 (dark in August Seattle around nine, so it will definitely be dark by the time anyone gets to Redmond).
One small problem is that it will be very difficult to get a cab to take you from the edge of Touristville to the Ground Zero location (everyone should access the map on the In the Gutter wiki (there are lots of links to it in the Down in the Gutten thread, or just go to Up from the Bottom OOC and click on Fool's wiki under Abbandon's sig...OR be a smart person and just find out the address...way beyond my capabilities, though).
Anyway, all this boring transportation stuff can almost be hand-waved. Let's get through the tedious stuff and get there, then we can have fun playing things step by step.
I will help speed things along by telling you now that Paddy will find absolutely no spell signatures in Esmeralda's apartment.

As posted IC,
John has his Agent run datasearches for everything somehow related to
Ground Zero for most of the night
Carla & Conall will get all the results send to their
Marry Jane abd
Snakebane accounts on ApeScape respectively, plus a short message to their coms that they can find the data there.
I assumed that I´d get the stuff on the wiki, and since you confirmed this,
Everyone feel free to use all the wiki information ad libitum!
One question I´d still have is, how much a
Heartbraker-escort costs for one night. Dosn´t have to be a body-guard and not even that high profile, but should be an actual gang-member with colors. Could this be handled by lifestyle (got luxury level entertainment
)?
Unless I allready own them, I´d also like to by the Wolverine-Guy´s favourit online game (probably not Miracle Shooter, since they are working for an Ares competitor) or two, so I can start playing with them. If that won´t be covered by lifestyle, I´d have to safe some mony first, though.
After hanging around at the E-Shop, I´ll get another cozy coffin and do some matrix action.
1st, I want to analyse the
Ground Zero node (or nodes if I found more then one address). Buying successes should be fine, to get System & Firewall Ratings and check for Databombs.
2nd, I also want to analyse
Zaphyr´s com (using the comcode from
Esmeralda´s list), to get the same info about her com.
3rd, I want to probe the
Ground Zero node to find a admin-level backdoor, but I won´t use it imediately, once I found it. Using VR with the Agent loaded into my persona as usual, not running free on it´s own. Buying hits, this should take 9 hours at the very most, if they have the best gear available. If there is more then one node, I might hurry things, to probe both - cutting the time in half (I´ll make rolls -with increased glitch risk- if that´s the case).
While doing this, I´ll spoof
Zaphyr´s com-ID, in case that helps (let me know if I need to spoof it all the while, when I do the probing, or just when I finally want to use the exploit) - see roll below, 4 hits.
Depending on the number of nodes and system ratings, I might also opt, to probe
Zaphyr´s com as well, for later intrusion.
4th, depending on how much time the probing takes, I might spend some time left, to start cracking the copy-protection of my cool new Spoof utility - Maybe Multitasking to get some work done over the day, even if there´s little time left.
Spoof-Roll

ADAMU - Your lifestyle will cover a weekly evening with a Heartbreaker if it is roleplaying fluff. But using it as part of a run is a gray area regarding the intent of the Lifestyle mechanic. I will say you can do so ONCE, but otherwise hiring people to help you on a run is a cash expenditure. In any case, if you use Lifestyle, you definitely cannot include the Bodyguard service (which you already said you wouldn't). Anyway - standard prices (depending on the girl, of course): Escort (includes sex): Y100/hour. Escort (includes sex and bodyguard service): Y200/hour.
Unless I allready own them, I´d also like to by the Wolverine-Guy´s favourit online game (probably not Miracle Shooter, since they are working for an Ares competitor) or two, so I can start playing with them. If that won´t be covered by lifestyle, I´d have to safe some mony first, though.

But my latest gear list I have from you does not list the Exploit program. I totally believe you have it, but since you are so active with acquiring gear and stuff, I am wondering how out of date my current gear list is. Could you PM me an up-to-date software list, along with any recently-acquired gear? I will add it to the list I have now. Also, please include your "normal" load of programs running, and also what programs you keep running when hacking, if that is different.
While doing this, I´ll spoof Zaphyr´s com-ID, in case that helps (let me know if I need to spoof it all the while, when I do the probing, or just when I finally want to use the exploit) - see roll below, 4 hits.
ADAMU - do you mean you are IMPERSONATING Zephyr's comm while probing Ground Zero? In any case, the more you spoof, the better it is for you. The thing is, just because you are outside a node analyzing it, doesn't mean there aren't entities hanging around watching the place from outside. It is up to you how frequently you want spoof running. The more often, the fresher the spoof at any given time.
Depending on the number of nodes and system ratings, I might also opt, to probe Zaphyr´s com as well, for later intrusion.

The programs I´ll be running while probing the node Ground Zero (won´t be probing Zaphyr´s com, yet) are as follows.
I´ll have to think about what´s my standard setting, though. If I understood the FAQ correctly, the response-reduction from program-overload is only relevant for Matrix-Initiative and any rolls using Response directly, it dos not reduce the System-Rating. Is that your understanding as well?
Analyze 6
Browse 5
Command 5
Edit 6
Encrypt 5
Exploit 3
Decrypt 3
Sniffer 3 (or Scan 5, see below)
Spoove 3
Stealth 3
Agent 6
That´ll reduce my Response to 5 (I don´t know how Hackers get along without SOTA Comlinks). That´s basically all of my utilities, except Scan.
The Probing will take 8 hours, buying 2 hits per hour with Agent6+Exploit3.
I´ll Spoof my Com-ID on an irregular basis every 5 to 15 minutes (I only wanted impersonate Zaphyr, when (if) I finally enter the node, unless my Agent or PC experiance (read you) advised that another rout would be more practicle). Note however, that my com is modifyed to provide a bogus-ID any time I log on, anyway. The TH for Spoofing the datatrail is 2, so buying hits with Agent6+Spoof3 should suffice.
Do I spot any securety hackers, IC or other suspicious stuff while I´m hangng around? Agent 6+Analyze6 would buy 3 hits.
I want to use Multitasking to start Cracking. So far, we handled it to give an aditional 50% of worktime, so that´d be 4 hours worth of crunching. Buying 2 hits per hour with Logic+Software+(Copyprotection/2). I´ll start working on Sniffer 3 (TH should be 17). If it´s a problem to have the utility running while I try to copy it, I´ll have Scan 5 running instead of Sniffer 3, so I can work on that one.
I´d say, I started around 1000, so I´d be finished around 1800 and will have enough time to dress up and pick up Carla.
I planed to ride a cab till Touriville and have us meet my escort there (as well as Conall & Etain as it seems), which should guide us to Ground Zero.

ADAMU - A lot of very seedy-looking traffic goes in and out of the Ground Zero node. Analyze cannot look for "suspicious" stuff. You don't see anything that looks like a security hacker or IC on the exterior of the node, but then I don't know your definition of what a security hacker looks like if he's trying not to be obvious in a heavily trafficked area, and I don't know what sort of parameters you've given the Analyze program or the Agent. But no, you see nothing that obviously seems like security.

ADAMU - Ah, so you ARE using the free escort. Fine. And yes, she can walk you to Ground Zero or get a cab to take you there. You are being very clever - even though you are not paying for bodyguard services, her being with you will be a big help on Heartbreaker turf. So it is on you guys to IC to your meet in Touristville (MJ seems to be very much back with us, and Vegas is back from her trip). Once you have all hooked up, I will have the prostitute arrive and you can go from there. |

Okay - we are there. If you guys want to all adjust your timestamps forward just a tiny bit for me.
As noted earlier, the Carla pick-up was at 8:30. From there it is at least an hour out to Redmond considering end-of-the-day traffic out of the city center, which means that the twins should probably get there a bit after nine, with the others arriving as I have shown in my IC post.
MK - assume you have prepaid for the escort. For free you get her for four hours. If you need her past that it'll be out of pocket.

Very cool.
About the pick-up time. I was looking at Conall´s message, which says 'half aight' which probably should have meant half past aight or it is some kind of phrase that me euro-trash just didn´t comprehend.
In any case, if it´s ok (haven´d cought up on IC yet), I´d actually have John be there at 1930 and wait at Meg´s when Carla says she needs another hour. I´d like to use that hour to do a bit more cracking on my Sniffer.
If that´s ok, I´ll put a little flashback about it into my next IC (which hopefully won´t be before tomorrow, because otherwise that´d mean I won´t see my chummer who´s going overseas in two weeks).

No worries - yeah, half eight means 7:30 (a very confusing expression that I had a hell of a time figuring out as a child - never could figure out if it meant before or after the hour), whereas Carla did say 8:30. Confusion understandable.

Vegas and everyone
I think I figured out why Ground Zero's location on the map seems so off to me but in its proper place to you....I think it is just that you switched (3) the Bazaar and (4) Ground Zero. If you reverse them the addresses are right on.
So everyone, please note the Ground Zero is actually location 3 on the map.

Internet connection crapped out.... trying to get a new one tomorrow.
I'm not sure how long it will take me to fix this whole situation, so until I say "Hey! I'm back" consider me out of working order

Not sure exactly what you're looking for. See IC post.

Okay, it is really only about a six or seven minute walk to the club from where you are. Didn't post all the way there cuz never know what'll happen, and also because I wanted to give people a chance to do RP or actions they wanted without railroading you straight to the location.
I'll give it about 20 hours and then post again if no one else needs to.

Just a quick reminder, it's the 4th down here, and I'm off to work now and probably won't be back on till tomorrow. So no need to wait on me, and with MJ's crappy connection I don't know you'll hear anything from him in the next 20 either, but he may surprise us all

Well, at least he doesn't have the 4th to worry about.
