Think I'll save my edge in case it's needed on the run.


Whoa - it was my impression that in this case we were simply referring to our Edge attribute to find the number of dice to roll...

Naturally if Aniki wants to play, Match will play.

I will bet whatever stakes he sets.

I will roll Intuition, and I will add Edge if I am right about this game mechanic. But if using Edge on this roll SPENDS my Edge, I'll just stick with the Intuition dice.

Intuition
5 1 3 = 1 success

Edge

3 2 = no more success either way

DireRadiant
Int 2 + Japanes Gambling Games 5 = 7
1 hit 1 3 2 2 5 2 3

Time to lose more money... bah. Yukika -hates- losing.
Syndicate_killer
Yes, it is edge as an attribute not to spend (unless you want to).

Foxx has bowed out of this game for RL issues. I'll be looking at some of the other submitters for interest but, that person will come in at a later time.
Syndicate_killer
Since we are driving along in Seattle I'd like a perception check from everyone.
DireRadiant
int 2 + perception 3 = 5
1 hit= 4 6 1 2 2
Unarmed
Perception Roll:
Int 4 + Perception 3 = 7 dice
3 hits = 5 1 3 5 5 3 4

My bad..
Sakura game: Previous 2 hits plus Edge(3) 2 hits = 4 hits total

Intuition(5) + Perception(1) +Specialization[Visual](2) = 0 Hits Dang... Shoulda just bought 2 hits..
Trigger
Perception Roll:

Intuition 4 + Perception 3 + Vision(or Audio if needed) Enhancement 3
4,6,1,1,6,5,1,3,1,5

4 hits, 3 if you don't want me to factor in the enhancements.
SoyKaf Adict
Perception Roll:

Intuition (3) + Perception (4) = 7

6,5,4,4,3,1,1

2 Hits
adamu
Intuition + Perception = 4 dice

6 4 1 3 = 1 success, barring modifiers


Sucks to see Foxx go - with most of us wildly loyal to Aniki, it added some real flavor to have someone with a rebellious streak. Oh well.

Editing my last IC post to avoid contradictions.

Yeah, I ain't wildly loyal to no one, except maybe Shigeda-sama. I've already had one kobun since moving to Seattle. Aniki is just another boss to me.
adamu
Okay, okay - I guess I should replace my hyperbolic "wildly loyal" with the more empirical "properly respectful".

Either way, always sorry to see a good player go....though that said, the smaller the group, the faster the game goes....
Redjack
Well I've been impressed with the post rate on this game so far. It seems to be moving at a good clip.
SoyKaf Adict
It's because I'm here... That's it end of story...

Yup, only reason why...

Shut up.

Well, I'm sure the fact that I'm generally pretty bored at work helps, too.
Syndicate_killer
Sorry for being away, I had connection problems. (NO CONNECTION LOL) It cost me 50 dollars but, Embarq fixed it.
Syndicate_killer
Ok we're up to date on my end...good posts all by the way.
adamu
Rough English translation that doesn't really capture the full meaning - Yes sir, we will absolutely call you the moment we meet him at the airport. But, umm, sorry to ask, but is there some way for us to recognize him.

Directly translating, it comes out much more polite, going as far as to say "we will receive from you the privilege of communicating with you" for "we will call you."
adamu
Syndicate Killer - just to confirm before pressing on - is Aniki gone now? And are we to assume we are supposed to keep using the limo? Or get out and use our own transportation resources?
Syndicate_killer
He's out and you are to use the limo
Trigger
What happened with the outcome of the card game as well....I rolled well and I do hope I made at least some nuyen out of it biggrin.gif
adamu
Trigger - I am sure I lost at cards again, and will be happy to pay as soon as someone compiles the results and determines the losses.

Redjack - no need to be trolling for flights from Japan - we already know it's flight 1296 from New York.

Syndicate Killer - won't do any good to know what time our mystery guest gets here if we don't know what time it is now. Can you help us out with exactly what time it is?
Redjack
Post updated corrected.
Thanks for the heads up Adamu
Trigger
See, Adamu is a classic example of someone with either a high Intuition or Perception or both...he sees and remembers things so that we don't all go around in circles trying to find things that we already know but don't know we know.
Redjack
Normally I have a very high perception.. I've just been unlucky in this game and glitched not once, but twice now in my personal perception tests.... biggrin.gif
adamu
Kind words, Trigger, but it really just means I spend way too much time staring at this board!

I will edit my post if it's looking like we won't have enough time to go get Masaru's car. As of right now I'm assuming that it'll be okay.

Also, it's a good thing we have adamu here, I totally missed that he said the exact flight number as well. =)

It's currently 3:40 in the AM....Flight arrives at 7 am

Here's everyone's rolls for the second round of Sakura:

Unarmed/Masaru: 3 Hits
Trigger/Hyo': 4 Hits
Adamu/Match: 1 Hit
DireRadiant/Yukika: 1 Hit
Redjack/Musouka: 4 Hits

I have no idea what Aniki's roll would be, but I'm assuming none of us were actually trying to win his money from him.
Syndicate_killer
Aniki folded...so he pays out to the winner......which means a tie breaker roll must be made.


Unarmed breaks even.

Adamu and Yukika pay the loser of the tie breaker 1/2 the stake (50) and other to winner.

Winner of tie breaker gets:
100 from Adamu/Yukika (added already together) plus 400 from Aniki.

Loser of tie breaker gets:
To keep his stake of 100 and collects 100 from Adamu/Yukika (amount is 50 each)
Redjack
Sakura tie breaker: 2 hits
Trigger
Hyo` Tie Breaker: 2 Hits as well....another roll if needed....3 Hits
Redjack
I see your 3 hits and raise you 2 hits more
Trigger
Oh, bloody hell, alright then...3 Hits...HAHA take that you card carrying wench...ninja on you, ninja on you...male superiority...boo ya.....ok I am done gloating in character now....
SoyKaf Adict
Whoooo Dire, I can almost feel your dialog come to life, hehehe. biggrin.gif

There's only one female in the car.. right? I didn't even see any rolls for Yukika

OH....I got my PCs confused.... grinbig.gif
adamu
okay, if I read the preceding mathamagic correctly, Match owes Musouka Y50 and Hyo` Y100?

Marked off my sheet if you guys want to collect.
adamu
Since Redjack assumed all the commcodes were mutually shared, I went with it, and made an IC assumption that he clued us in on the flight's arrival time. Just seems like minor details, so taking them as read keeps things moving faster. But if I overstepped anything, I can always go back and edit.

Trigger - cool internal monologue, dude. I won't say it's an entirely accurate assessment of Match's actual thoughts, but based on the information available to Hyo` it really is perceptive (wish I'd thought that deeply about things myself!). If we're not careful, this could turn into a quality game...
Redjack
Taking a queue from Adamu and as long as no one objects, I will assume Musouka has admin level access to everyone's coms so that he can transmit information as required between the group and coordinate locations via GPS for overlay maps in AR, etc..

Please let me know if anyone doesn't like or agree with that approach.
Trigger
Dire, since you are perceiving you would notice that Hyo` has a stronger aura around himself, that of an awkened person....

This is not necassarily true. I would need one hit on the assensing test, which would not be that easy for Yukika to get.

nice use/perceptions of your AR world.
adamu
Syndicate Killer -

Once the driver lowers the partition, Match will be greeting him and watching him closely, trying to gauge whether he is also a yakuza soldier, or just some wage slave limo driver.

I didn't do an IC post launching this action because I don't really even know if the guy is Japanese or caucasian or whatever, don't know if has bears any sort of marks of being yak - don't even know if it's a he. Etc.

So whether I address him in English or Japanese depends on what I see. I will watch the response closely to try to determine whether he is one of us or a hired hand.

[ Spoiler ]
Syndicate_killer
He is a real low level associate but, he is a Yak just not fully accepted/trained.
DireRadiant
Does Yukika have any idea what airport security is like?
SoyKaf Adict
What a chump job, heh.

I was actually wondering about Masaru's knowledge of this as well.
