Where does the xtra dice come from anklebiter? I get 7 dice for that roll stat of 5-1 default+3equip=7

Tattered~Seraphim- from UCAS to Pueblo you need to cross 2 borders. Actually no matter what route you take.

okies, just waiting on an arrival time for Sander, then we can proceed.

So, Sander will drive to the meet and arrive there at least an hour in advance. He'll grab table and sample some the establishment's food and drinks

He'll cross to the Pueblo sector from the CAS sector, using his Pueblo ID. As for the gear he'll be carrying:

D'oh silly ref missing it. It's because of the lack of cocktail order, and being i here not the IC thread...

Gah! Right, I'll change my post for ya. Sorry! That's me not checking the map. Silly me! D'oh!

I'll change the post itself in a bit, and do the rolls then. Btw, how legal are pred 4s? Don't have time to check book and am still a bit confused by the legal and illegal boundaries on the availability of stuff.

Don't bother with rolls for border crossing this once, your preds are licensed for both your IDs, so say thanks to the nice ref for doing your equipment

So did I. Actually I am kind of getting used to the whole rolepaying by forum thing, this being my fist time, so I am erring on the side of use all the shiny features, because, hey, they are there....

Thanee

Apr 20 2006, 08:36 PM

Heh.

Well... I think spoilers should only be used for something, that not everyone will be able to see.

When you offer a hand to someone, everyone present will see it, so no need to put a spoiler. Same with saying something.

When there is something that only that person will notice (like the spoiler above here in the OOC), then use spoiler (you could also have put the spoiler from here into the IC at the end of your post, I think).

good point, unspoilering now...

By the way, to avoid clogging up the IC bit, assume I respond pleasently to pleasantrys, and even more pleasently to bully tactics, till we get back to felice's question...

Apr 20 2006, 08:51 PM

Heh.

Of course, now I would slightly modify the various parts...

As Shiver turns he lifts his goggles, to his forehead, revealing warm brown eyes, the better to take the sight of you in.

Can't really do that more than once, or can you?

(You could also remove the '@1945' timestamps after the names.)

Sorry for being such a troublemaker...

The goggles come back down each time. Lifting goggles / shades when first meeting somebody gives the nice impression that you are genuinley interested in them. Or at least that is what shiver read in the "how to make friends easily" books he occasionaly tried to get some social help from in college....

Ankle Biter, I'm curious as to why Shiver asked Reg for a handle. Seeing as the elf shows no ware, nor has any cyberware if you assensed Reggie's aura. For all who can see Reggie looks mundane

The request for your private network is immediately accepted should actually puzzle you cause you can't even see a commlink of any kind on my body.

handle, cos what else do you call a shadowrunner name? However, feel free to adjust the question for your own comfort and convinience.

Sorry to snap at you Ankle Biter, just I've always seen handle as a term for someone's online or radio name. Where as a street name or assumed name is called an alias.

I mistook you for thinking ICly that I was some sort of hacker...

Thanee

Apr 21 2006, 11:53 AM

IIRC handle is synonymous for street name in CP2020.

As for the private network... Felice has no skinlink on her commlink, therefore I figured, that there simply won't be any connection possible that way.

It's all cool,

"alias" sounds so much less chummy than "handle". Shiver is a friendly if somewhat socially insecure bloke. (I admit, though, that I just tailored the quick bits according to initial descriptions posted in the recruiting thread, though, I was just after a blag to set up a secure network so that we would not look like total newbies if we had to argue infront of mr J.) I assure you that Shiver has no idea you are a techie. The immediate skinlink response also dosen't phaze him, as he just assumes you have similar kit to his setup.

Dranem

Apr 21 2006, 12:04 PM

Ok, fair enough

As for Felice, I'd probably have to find our commcode. Unless she's running silent, picking up her profile should give me a quick way to say 'Hi'.

CODE

Electronics (3) + Scan (5) = 8 dice
1 [5] [5] 3 1 2 2 [5] Hits:3

That should locate her commcode number...

Crap, your are right, I can't count, just knock off a success.

In case Mr Juan missed it, upon shaking hands, sander is skinlink-invited to a private commlink network.

Ophis

Apr 21 2006, 05:36 PM

Calhots are a form of simsense chip. Not quite strong enough signal to be BTL chips but outside legal limits in North America apart form in California hence the name.

On that roll - The Koshari are the pueblo mob, mostly involved in gambling, protection rackets, magical narcotics, prostitution and some hi tech crime.

Sander neg noted.

Ankle Biter, the north route would take you through sioux territory as well as the city border(denver is sealed around the edge not open to surrounding country). thats three borders.

Ophis

Apr 21 2006, 05:47 PM

Okay since the roll was made, I just ran negs as openings then a sum up. Good work Sander pushing the pay up. That is his final offer so time to put up or shut up

as they say. If I get assent from the group I'll do an info dump from mister J, and then handover to you lot to plan.

Apr 21 2006, 05:53 PM

As for the negotiations, I accept so long as it does not turn out that, for example, Ghostwalker wants the package, and he is not the guy we are delivering to.

If there's Shadow knowledge on him, a quick search through the Data Havens might give me a clue as to his identity.
