| Did I really make a guy who's in front of a pc on the other side of the world slap his own hand? |
Yes.
I just had a thought: Sunny has a cyber arm because he had the flaw Inept:demolitions and tried this very thing once. The truth comes out!
Somehow it's scary. But cool. The slapping, I mean.
I haven't nailed down Sunny's flaws and edges. You got me thinking now.

Yeah I was wondering about that too. I think he's asking what wireless cyber we might have that he needs to assist in protecting.

What you don't trust me? I'm hurt fist
Of course I wouldn't try to hack youAlso you forgot Neit(Tashio) in your IC post listing the team.
Crap, I knew I was forgetting someone. Tash, you need to post more man. Hope you're feeling better soon. 
Meriss, I love your new guy runner. Assuming it isn't all an act of course.

@Grinder: Would you post a description of Sunny?
-Thx

And next you ask for a gear list, hm?
No, I'm the one that always wants gear lists, remember?
Seriously Merriss, if nothing else, Charlie is hilarious. .

Didn't forget it (how could I?), just wanted to give Redjack a warning.
Anyway, gonna post a description on sunday. What better day for Sunny?
Glad you like like him fist some of it's an act, some is real. Charlie has mostly worked short cons with Mickey and by himself so the mob involvement is freaking him out.
Gear List is nice, but I'm more interested in a general appearance. Sometimes helps when crafting a post.
| QUOTE (Meriss) |
| the mob involvement is freaking him out. |
Should be especially so since Miami is a mob town too, and IIRC, his mentor is yak connected. Keep yer head down.
Interesting and fun character though.
A failed binding expends all the binding materials, right?
Right, successful or failure, you still did the ritual.
Plan B's dice were weak the other day. So that either means easy times ahead, or you're doomed.
Check out my binding and invoking test in Cape Town. She rolled horribly!

OK My rolls will be done in about half an hour when I get home and check my sheet. Till then Plan B, did you want a descrip of Charlie's apartment? And all you magic people, Charlie's essence is 4.9
@Plan B, My character generator is charging me .1 essence each for my eye and ear cams, and the sound and image link. Is that right?

I had just used Invisible castle to make all the rolls... Do I need to wait for Plan B to make the resistance tests instead?
Hey ya'll. Sorry my posts have been so sproadic lately. Heart nonsense and whatnot. I promise to get your replies up. Tomorrow will be Mother's Day though, and as I am a mother... I will be taking tomorrow off.
@ Meriss: I will give you karma if you stop using that weird silvery color for your spoiler posts. It hurts my eyes! *begs* Also, if you could, maybe just put your total successes at the end of your rolls so I don't have to back through and count them... I would be very happy. And Very Happy GM = Good Karma for PC... just so's ya know.
.... thankees.

Sure no prob, boss lady. But that's just the way spoilers come out, isn't it? I'd edit my post for you but Dumpshock eats half my post when I try to do that. Weird ne? Hmmm thinking.
Edit: Notepad is a wonderful thing! Edited IC to remove eye aching spoilers. But the links to Invisable Castle are gone. *sigh* I suppose if you search the roll data base for Charlie you can find them.
Further Edit: That weird silver color is what links look like in a spoiler. Who knew? Not I , so no more links in spoilers. Bad Meriss, hurting GM's eyes, no soup for you! *takes away soup*
Later Edit: EH? My posts are gettting eaten because I'm using spoilers. Weird. But, no spoilers = no eating. So I'm going to try and limit my use of them from now on, or try not to edit posts with multiple spoilers. Mucho weirdness
Gotta do it like this (without the extra spaces of course):

Thanks for the tip Redjack!
The hungry spoilers has been around for a while, and a huge pain in the @ss. It drives me nuts, believe me. I gave up on doing multiplie spoilers, and mostly try to save any spoiler text until the end of the post. If you have to edit, Ctrl+C the entire page before you hit the Edit key. You'll have to redo the tags, but at least you'll have all the text.
Yeah I finally figured it out. Must be a code in the edit post script that goes *Munch* Now if we could fix it we'd be ahead of the game. *goes to look for SR style super comp in palm of hand package*
@All: On a tangent from me complaining all the time I found/stole a perfect Idea to hide our trailers.
Horse Trailer: Drive to local race track with forged papers saying we're supposed to pick up a horse. Wipe down trailer, leave trailer.
Semi Trailer: Find nearby trailer park. Wipe down trailer, disguise truck trailer as house trailer, leave trailer.
I got the first one from the Purloined Letter, hiding in plain sight.
I got the second one from Numb3rs, I love that show, teaches me math and FBI tactics all in one entertaining form.

I like the idea for swiping the horse trailer from a local track. Where ever Lucky is, there has to be a track somewhere nearby.
Having lived in a house trailer in my youth and my father owning a tractor-trailer (18 wheeler) I think the disguise truck trailer as house trailer might be a bit of a stretch. Did they actually do that on a tv show? We should be able to hide the semi either at a truck stop or in a shipping company lot though.

@ Redjack: As far as your binding tests go, if you list the force of the elemental you're trying to summon and your rolls, I can roll the resistance tests... who knows, it may end better.
What force was the Air Elemental? I'll roll it's resistance and we'll see if you still fail the binding.

Yeah I don't really get equating a trailer to the same thing as a modular home.
Ever seen a truck stop? Those things can be there for days at atime, or hours. No one looks twice. Toss on photovoltaic paint that's really comoon in 2070 and you've got your self a shell game. If someone can add on a transponder library and spoof us a few vehicle registration chips that gives us more options with the tractor-trailer.
Couldn't we just buy a cheap horse trailer? Only cost us a cheap SIN and a few thou instead of trying to pull a con and up our chances at getting caught at something else.

The spirit of man is force 6. The air elemental is force 3
Rolling for Air Elemental F:3 to resist binding, Result: 6,5,5,2,2,1 Total: Three Successes
*edit* Okay, so tied. In our games ties go to attacker, summoner, binder, etc.
So in this particular instance, if you'd prefer, you have the Air Elemental F:3 bound with 3 services. I'll leave it up to you if you want to keep your rolls or take mine.

Not sure I understand. I had only three successes in the binding test. You opposed with three. I have to have one net success for a successful binding...?
So I'll play it out and await your rolls in the future.

Yup they did. It kept the fibies from seeing it for about two hours. (Implied time) Then they found it. Then again the crew didn't walk a way from the trailer, they stayed in the area. But from the air the thing was darn near invisable. (The feebs also had a math genius helping with the search) Watch Numb3rs on the CBS website. You'll see what I mean.
@Fist: I like the idea of swiping a horse trailer or renting it. Charlie can prolly code up any registration we may need. (If Invisable Castle cooperates) But didn't Lincoln provide us with one already? Not that I trust Lincoln.
@Redjack: Does Crow have an astral muddying spell? I'd like to disrupt any ritual magic they might have on that horse.
@Everyone else: Any ideas for hiding the trailers when we finish, I realize I'm getting ahead of my self but a better plan now = less likly to get gaught later on.
@Plan B when you see this: Dang you! I figured the best way for you to get us would be the single access road. Looks like I was right. Going to have to figure out a way to keep the cops out or something. Thanks for the CSP thou!
@everyone else: Any Ideas for the One Way Road of Doomtm
Although if we can do the snatch at the photo shoot or vet appointment we wouldn't have to. Did Lincoln not say that there was no magical security on the ranch, well folks Lincoln lied. Oh well I suppose you can expect that out of a J. Redjack we're going to need counter measures. You too Tashio. Maybe one of you can do offense and one defense?

Well for the access road, a spirit using concealment would probably work. Nothing too drastic there.
As for swiping a the Vet's, the down side to that is a likely faster response time from when we swipe it to when they notice it. But it cold also save a bunch of messing around with security. Other thoughts anyone?
There's also the possibility of getting proof of the mistress and bringing that to the wife Bunny for some leverage. "Wouldn't you just love to get even with him"
Redjack - do you know Physical Mask by chance?

I wouldn't bet that she doesn't know it already.
The idea with the spirit and concealment is good
Good point. She is a socialite. For all we know, they could have an 'understanding'.
So are we still thinking a night job is the best route then?

Yeah the spirit thing might work. But all we'd need is one mage on overwatch going "uhh guys there's this huge ass spirit of Air coming this way what's going on out there?" I'll second fist's question, Redjack do you know Astral Masking, Tashio do you?
@fist: Is Plan B around? Can you see if she wants me to post Charlies apartment IC. Or did she want to do it?

If you want to post a description of your apartment, go ahead. I think it'll give me a better idea of Charlie overall.
From what it looked like, the mage just does the wards, maybe a spirit on site. We're gonig to have to get together IC soon and compare notes.
Besides, we can always do some astral scouting.
