I dont mind either way
Either way cool with me. It is like asking a junkie whether he wants to get his fix in a shooting gallery or his crashpad.
I'm cool with either method of karma award. I lean towards on the ooc thread somewhere, as that way I find it easier to keep track. Perhaps editing the first post to have a karma table, so total so far and total spent can be displayed...
Spoilering it for individuals is fine, though.

Ok, with regards to timing, I went straight to the safehouse, took me 1.5 hours, (the bits at the club etc were through telepresence) so its aroun' 19.30 when I got there, right?
Don't worry about retconning, I will be in the building when everybody else turns up, less my drone finds a stack of C4 or something

Okay, I want to apologize to everyone for holding this up. I've had a nasty bug for a few days and staring at a computer screen only seemed to heighten my dizziness (no blonde jokes please)
I left the upper discription alone incase some of you wanted some time downstairs.I will continue when it becomes evedent you all or some want access to upstairs.
Am I ok to assume my drone didn't find anything threatening? If so I am headed straight upstairs...

I'm not clear on what the Interbay area looks like so I posted the long term parking garage as twenty blocks, if I need to increase that its a simple edit.
As I'm walking I want to look for anyone who might be one of the members of the local street gang. Perceptions?

They arent hard to spot as they roam and are on street corners
Once we are in the neighborhood, I just want to see how much Asp knows about a couple of things based on his knowledge skills.
Street Knowledge - Seattle Gangs
What is the local gang? Plus any other info I might know based on my skill level and roll, including size, leader, and most importantly whether they are a semi-rational group looking to get ahead, or just a bunch of psycho idiot losers bent on self-destruction.
Street Knowledge - Seattle Lone Star Officers
Do I know the names (and metatype) of any of the cops that work this neighborhood. Plus any other info I can get such as whether they had anything to do with the way this neighborhood has gotten cleaned up, and whether they are clean or dirty (although my track record in judging that is not so good!).

Thanks. But you didn't say the name of the gang, which I assume I get based on the extent of the other info. Is it the Black Watch that Blitz referred to in his IC post?
I think you are confusing me with someone else. I don't think I ever mentioned Black Watch....and I'm not a "him".
(~.^)
(~.^)
Sorry, that was Cedric.
As for the pronoun, are you talking about you or Janie? If the former, I plead ignorance, if the latter, well, like I said, meant to refer to Chopper/Cedric.

hehe...both really and no worries, for some reason, everyone assumes Blitz is a boy name! (briefly considers making an ascii unicorn for her signature, then comes to her senses)

Its the Black watch or just the watch for short. Sorry about the confusion.
Jack, sorry to leap forward to sleeping arrangements in my IC post - but as you can imagine, the whole mixed-gender slumber party idea has got poor Cyrus Burger a little uptight, though he's trying to act tough and unconcerned about it.
Im setting up my sat rig, and going hunting for that firewalled house information. If found IC I'm slumped on a chair near a window, dead to the world, and wired to what could be called a satellite reciever if "broken looking umbrella" weren't a more appropriate handle...
Attempts to disturb me result in a chime followed by a robotic voice saying "Comedian is out right now, please leave a message after the tone... BEEEP"
I'm going to thread my stealth prog, then go for the slow "scan the firewall" break in method. I will roll for threading when I get home, but what am I rolling to break in?

Hmmm...Black Watch....didn't mention it in the background, but that's the name I usually use for Whizbang's gang. Didn't know it already existed....or is it just some random GM picked gang name?
actually it from one of my table top players..the gang the pc belonged to.
Here are some perception rolls for Sahara. She isn't activley looking searching for anything, but she is a detective. This stuff just comes naturally to her.

Fixed. No need to spoiler that sort of thing IMO.
I dont want to make any assumptions, but it seems you are reacting to seeing me on the screen (since my post, we all know where I am ) but I don't believe that from Jack's post that you'd see me.
Jack, can you clarify?
Oh, and if you are reacting to something else, ignore my paranoia

I think he is interpiting this...

| The first screen is currently highlighted with the words backdoor superimposed on it. |
He is assuming that the words "back door" means there is a breach.
Hrm, I left my SR4 at home, what do I roll for threading, again? Think it was Resonenece + Software, followed by Resonence + will for Fading, in which case...

Looks like the Fading roll went double post on invisible caslte,

no...back door is the first screen is all.
Also, by the time on posts meaning the time of day you are in game, doesnt jive with you seeing that she is making her way there....also she timed it right to stealth by cameras and hasnt attempted to hack/spoof/hotwire the door or windows. You are currently unaware...but paranoia is great for new places, so run with it by all means. You however did not or the system detect her...there is an alarm, of course you dont know that yet.
and a big apology for my absence this weekend...i just got over a bug but my daughter caught it.

Yeah, Shadow is right about how I interpreted it, and actually, the time:date stamps mesh perfectly. Blitz/Janie has herself at the back door at 20:45, and I open the security system at 20:47. I figured that "backdoor" light meant that she had failed her stealth rolls or something, as I had only seen her IC posts, not Jack's ruling on them. Whether I could see her or not wasn't relevant since we don't know her yet.
As it is, Asp still thinks it means breach - so maybe Nathan or someone can immediately see that it is NOT a breach alarm, or Chopper and I can run down there guns drawn and find nothing, because she out-stealths us.
It seems based on what Asp saw IC that this would be his reaction, but Jack, anything you want me to back-edit is fine with me - you are the GM. (-:
Asp may end up looking like a spaz, but Jack did say we were all newbies and should make mistakes....

No worries really, Im at the front door not the back anyway
I wasn't jumping on anyone's case, just sometimes it's hard to interpret some things correctly through PBP so I wanted to make sure stuff was clarified.

Actually, it might be funny (at my expense) if I led a charge to the back door just as Janie waltzed through the front.
But IS there a front door? I thought the only access to the second floor living area was through the elevator from the garage?

Okay, you guys kind of ran past me there. You do realize that it apparently took Asp almost twenty minutes to decide which window to open right? If you check your time stamps we took a big jump between me walking in the door abou the same time Asp tapped the remote three time to the moment Asp stood up.
No big deal, we're just getting out initial set up worked out anyway. Suggestions for setting up the two cameras that I have and the four motion sensors? I'm thinking of setting the two cameras on the buildings opposite the front door and the back door, assuming of course that there actually ARE buildings opposite the front and back doors, so that we have a view of the building from across the street. Most intruders would check the target building and wouldn't think to look on the surrounding buildings for cameras.
These units are about the size of a coin so they should be hard to spot, how long do they have for battery life? I couldn't find the reference.

PLEASE do not back edit anything...I LOVE IT. A good dose of paranoia is great.
Battery life lets say indefinite (due to lack of info and my digital watch has had same battery for over a year)
The "Front Door" is one of the big roller doors that leads into the first floor "storage/parking" area.

Also folks i know i've promised but today is payday...the karma is going to be deposited in your accounts.

Ankle PM me about your plans to hack...its extremely OOC for the group to know what youre doing...they probly think you're napping.
Ok..so I am at the backdoor not the front door then?
yes Blitz...thats correct.
[ Spoiler ]
Okay, since the GM is enjoying this little misadventure, I will go forward another tiny step.
As for the hacker napping, I thought he was hacking because he went to such pains to describe the umbrella-looking antenna thing attached to his arm.

I am doing up to 7 hours work at some data collection, so I will more or less be dead to the world for as siginificant chunk of the first night's getting to know you bit...
...Which is more or less how my character likes it, but don't expect any IC thread posts for a bit.

Like i said most might think he's napping lol
Are there any windows on the second floor, or perhaps a fire escape?
yes, windows cover about the same as below on first floor(on the backside)..no fire escape though.

it's a climbing+strength test
Anybody have the book handy? I bought these special gloves that are supposed to assist in climbing, cant remember what they are called and left all my stuff at home. I just need to know what kind of bonus it applies to climbing tests.
