Grinder

Lady Door

Meriss

Special Edition

April 23, 2070
By: Amanda Cartwright

Notorious crime boss, Pietro Gambione was arrested today on suspicion of federal drug trafficking, extortion and tax evasion charges. His surprise arrest came at the end of a year long FBI investigation begun in March of last year. An investigation, sources say, that was instigated by information procured from an informant within the Gambione family.
Federal investigators have keep the informant's identity a closely guarded secret and many speculate that the informant is still active within the Gambione family's alleged criminal enterprises.

Meriss, I'd suggest just posting IC as much as possible, get Charlie in to the meet. Stats can come second to good RP. No prob on questions man, we've got no problem helping. As for Path of the Wheel, I'll put something together for you. Soka? biggrin.gif
Meriss
Soka chummer. It's for Maeve so it can wait, nighty night.

Originally from Southern California, currently in Sacramento. You?

We're right up in Red Bluff, Lemme know if you're ever up for a face to face game man. Sometimes it's worth the drive.
Meriss
Ok Boss lady here's Charlie's Gear

[ Spoiler ]
Lady Door
Thank you for the gear list. smile.gif As far as the questionai(how in the hell do you spell it?)aire goes, if you want to that would be awesome and I will give you CSP's for it.
Also, for everyone: we might not be around as much today. Ben's (F3.0) dad had to be airlifted to the hospital with a possible stroke... so, much of the hospitalness today.

Program suggestions:
First, if you're a hacker
-Top listing Exploit and Stealth Programs. Those are your most important
-Follow that up with Anylyze and Decrypt if you plan on doing any hacking
-Sniffer is good for sigging up dirt
-Browse a must for data mining

Over all
-Some sort of IC, even if it's low grade
-an Agent w/ Browse, Analyze, and Decrypt can be great
-Encryption program for your comm
-Top Shelf OSs are cheap. Get one, and buy a firewall upgrade if you can

A spare bottom shelf comm w/ a good OS in Private or Public mode can make a good blind for your more important Commlink in Hidden mode. Link the two up, then hide the link through a hidden file ,and encrypt it. They can find it with a good Analyze, or a very good scan, but if they find the dummy link, most people won't look around for more. Just keep a lot of "bait" data on it.

Wow.... ok I don't know why I haven't done this with my character.
.....

So Cash goes out to get a new commlink...

Maybe after we get some up front pay on the run that is.
Grinder
Plan B, how much will you dive into the whole Wireless Matrix thing?
Lady Door
I'm game for whatever my players are up for. I generally have a lot of AR interaction in places like clubs, city streets, etc. but so far I haven't really run anything that was Matrix heavy... so...
Grinder
I'm not really familiar with all the possibilities AR and commlinks offer, so I would like to avoid stuff like programs for Sunny.
Lady Door
Not a problem. I may occasionally mention security upgrades to commlink OS's but that's it. smile.gif
Grinder
That's cool. smile.gif

Lady Door

No big, I don't mind. What am I rolling for the 'Trix search? Also I'm PMing you Raves gear for the Cape Town Game. Same thing for him please.
Lady Door
Sorry.. should have listed that: Roll Data Search and if you don't have that default to Logic - 1.
... and post your stats when you get them. smile.gif

fistandantilus4.0
Soooo.... anyone seen Fastball? Kinda need him to move this along.
Redjack
One thing that always puzzled me about software programs. Your dice pool is program level + skill level instead of attribute level + skill level, so isn't your default program level - 1?
Meriss

Gotcha. Sorry frown.gif

I'm just back from work and you know what had happened there? One of the guys living there collapsed early in the morning and was brought to hospital with suspicion of a stroke. Strange.

Good to hear that your father's getting better, though. smile.gif
