We've created a Shadowrun account over on MySpace -- you can reach it at
http://www.myspace.com/shadowrunrpgWe'll be posting the usual news and updates that are posted to ShadowrunRPG.com to the MySpace site, so if you are a social networking junkie you can get your fix over there. Also, if you're one of the first 100 people to add ShadowrunRPG to your friend list on MySpace, you'll be entered into our highly seat-of-the-pants Emergence contest, where 1 lucky MySpace friend will win a copy of the upcoming book!

ya' know, odd, 'cause my wife and I started a small SR group like two years ago on myspace. I don't think I've even seen that page since the second month. Can I get a free entry for that ?

Sure can. All you have to do is log into the account and add shadowrunrpg to your friends list.

So Shadowrun is your friend now huh? were you just using it for good times before?
Reminds me of Terry pratchett's saying about dwarves:
Dwarves don't love gold, they jsut say that to get it in to bed.

I had to join MySpace to be a friend to Shadowrun. I'm very afraid of Tom, whom I gather is my Obligatory MySpace Online Whore™ (OMOW? OMSOW?). He seems to act in an overly-familiar manner, looks rather effeminate, lives in San Francisco, and has 357,982,492 friends.

I logged onto the MySpace website almost immediately after Adam posted about it, and at that time there were 42 friends listed (I am #44, but only because I had a real hassle signing up for an account

). I don't know how many of those 'friends' count towards the 'first 100 limit' though.

I'd say keep going until the contest is ended, Tom doesn't count anyway. Daemons and Sprites are inelligible I think.

Oh my God! That's horrible! A giant international gallery of freaks and weirdos, with faces! At least on Dumpshock we don't have to LOOK at each other! A ready-made dating meat market for deniable assets! And it's a pretty awful shock to find out after all these decades that Shadowrun is "not sure" about its sexual orientation! Take it down! Take it down! Oh, God...take it down!

Thanks! I just joined up. Also, you left a pile of your worthless Canadian money all over the place here. I was like 'SCORE!' and then realized it wasn't real money. There go my hopes for having $1.50.
Adam
Dec 4 2006, 09:08 AM
I'm pretty sure I left you guys some American change, too. And, um, Canadian change isn't worthless ... you can, um... glue it to the bottom of a chair leg if you have a wobbly chair!

So it's worth slightly less than a washer, because at least a washer has a hole pre-drilled

This weekend I fixed my toilet with a washer. The flapper kept getting stuck up, or sometimes it would go down but it would go down so slowly that the chain would get under it, so either way it would run and run and run.
Anyway, I put a washer on the chain on the top of the flapper to weigh it down, and now my toilet works properly.
I couldn't have done that with a Canadian coin, now could I? Hmmm? I didn't think so.

I love the fact that Canada has realized that change > bills for ones and stuff. I think ones and fives are just about worthless.
I know, a lot of people hate change. I'd rather have a 1 dollar coin in my pocket than a 1 dollar bill in my wallet any day though.

Eh.
I tend have clothes with loose pockets. And I tend to prop my feet up a lot. I tend to have change on the floor.

That being said, I think the dollar coins are badass. Apparently, US money has been found not to be friendly to people with visual disorders, so it may be redone soon. Maybe we'll get coins then...
Has it ever been stated specifically what's on actual, paper, nuyen?
