I wanted to let you guys/gals know that I, because of the nature of this forum, will take minor liberties with your character. I will never post actions, or make decisions for your character. If I step past your comfort level, just let me know and I will back off. It will take a few posts to find your particular comfort level and I ask that you bear with me. It is simply impossible to do the kind of "back-and-forth" you get at a table top session. It would take sixty or seventy posts just to work through the meet with Tamburo alone. I read your posts and try to speak in the voice you have given your character. If you are violently opposed to this practice, however, let me know and I will exclude your character from it. I am simply trying to express the story as fully as I can. O.K.?

The character sheet I posted didn't include what geas I took to offset the Magic loss due to Essence loss, did it?

Here it is:

Frater Inominatus
Thanks Nick012000, I didn't catch that.
Frater Inominatus
Hey guys/gals,
I just received a request by viggo to join the group. It IS rather late in the game, though not so much that with a little movie magic, smoke and mirrors, and a pinch of faerie dust, we could make it happen. He is new to the forum and has never played via dumpshock before. This brings a few problems, but none are insurmountable. I told him that I would put it to the group and get back to him. What say you?

F.I.
nick012000
No worries. He just turns up to the meet a little late.
Tziluthi
Frater, dude, I don't want to call you out on your own game, but it really breaks the mood when you make a OOC post right in the middle of the IC thread. biggrin.gif

If you seriously don't want other players to read information, send a PM with the information to the person it's meant for, at the same time posting in the OOC thread to notify the player that it's been sent. And now, after chewing out the GM, I will sit back and watch my character get sodamized by Bubba the Love Troll. biggrin.gif
Musashi Forever
Don't worry man, Bubba the Love Troll was the first character I submitted. He got rejected. The GM said something about misuse of the Hydraulic Jack cyberware. grinbig.gif
Frater Inominatus
My apologies Tziluthi, and those of you who feel likewise, for the mistake. I had for or five post windows, along with two word documents running, all concurrently. I simply place it on the wrong thread. I did mean to put it in the OOC and will do so in the future.
As for Bubba... I'm not touching that one. Musashi... YOU ARE SCARY.
Tziluthi
Fair enough. My apologies.
Sicarius
Regardless of where you put it, I thought it was awesome. I may have Gregori do more astral percieving just for the descriptions!

Frater Inominatus
I need an up or down vote on this viggo thing. You guys/gals want one more player or not. I don't want to leave him/her hanging.

Thanks
Foxx
I don't mind another player.
Sicarius
I'm cool with it.
nick012000
All right, 3 Karma... Initiatory group, here I come! biggrin.gif

And Bob will stop quibbling about the pay, because I have to pay an order of magnitude less on upkeep for my vehicles than I thought I did...
Sicarius
3 karma?
nick012000
Check out the Recruitment thread. For some reason, Frater decided that it would be more appropriate to post it there than here. Here's the quote:

QUOTE
O.K. I am going to use the Recruitment thread to hand out Karma. So look here periodically for yours.

Foxx, Tziluthi, Musashi Forever, Sicarius, Nick012000: 2 for playing, advancing the storyline, etc...

Foxx, Tziluthi, Musashi Forever, Sicarius, Nick012000: 1 for consistent posting

Foxx: 1 for outstanding storytelling

I am also working on karma awards for your backgound stories, which will be forth coming... soon.
Frater Inominatus
Would you all prefer that I post Karma awards here instead of on the Recruitment thread?
Musashi Forever
Here seems like a better place.
Frater Inominatus
O.K. There are some changes so look again...

I forgot one award,

Tzilutui, Musashi Forever: 1 for humor, I'm going to start using "Bubba" as a discipline tool.

Sicarius
Sorry that my post might seem a bit out of order with Foxx's. We must have both been working at the same time. I just wrote an addendum to it, so hopefully its not a problem that they are out of order.
Sicarius
post edited to avoid me looking like a retard that doesn't read what the GM puts up.

In that regard this notice is probably self defeating. but oh well.

Frater Inominatus

Tziluthi
FYI, I'm fine with a new player. Although, the call is really up to you.

::Looks fearfully at Bubba, standing in the corner::

Don't want to double post. Here is what Os is going to pick up at his safehouse:

[ Spoiler ]

That'll do.
Frater Inominatus
O.K. I need to know who is going to the safehouse, Who is going to the pick-up site, and what you are doing up to the point you arrive...
Sicarius
my character is with Nick's character, so I guess he'll decide where we're headed.
Musashi Forever
Razz is going back to his apartment for a few supplies. I don;t have the time now so I will post them later today.

What is everyone's race? Is Razz the only ork?
Tziluthi
Os is a human.
nick012000
Albino elf.
Sicarius
Gregori is human
Foxx
Dawn is Elven
Musashi Forever

Perception Check:
[ Spoiler ]
Frater Inominatus
Where is Razz's apartment. I need the location so I can keep the timeline straight. The same goes for anyone stopping to do something before going on the the pick-up and/or safehouse.
Sicarius
Gregori isn't going to his place, but for future reference he has a Third story walk up apartment in Renton, and a coffin at a motel in Pullauyup.

Also F.I, since everyone else was doing/getting lists of stuff, I thought i should hash out what I understand Gregori to have with him, to make sure we are on the same page.


On his person:
Ares Predator in Concealable Holster 6 Ares Predator clips in various pockets
Earplug cellular phone
Wolf's Paw (Combat Fetish)
Wolf Tooth Necklace (Force 3 Sustaining Focus: Combat Sense)

He is wearing:
Leather Jacket
Armored Vest with Plates
Wife beater t-shirt
Cargo pants
Boots
Black Ski mask rolled up as a hat


You can of course rule against something on that list, or we can negotiate it, but it seems to be pretty normal stuff you could/would carry with you. But we can discuss if there's a problem.

Frater Inominatus
Lethe, Gregori, and Dawn please make perception tests.1
Sicarius
Perception Test

Musashi Forever
I'll put Razz's place in southeast Auburn, right on the border where Auburn, Tacoma, and Pullayup come together.

I think red or yellow are the easiest to see, what do you think?
Musashi Forever
I never minded the pain old white, but other than that my vote goes to the dark blue. I don't much care for the red or yellow, sorry.
Frater Inominatus
But, Bubba likes red...
viggo
Ragnarok is a troll merc. Depending on the situation, he either wears a secure ultravest or a partial suit of combat armor. Along with the nickname he constantly wears a Viking warhelm, a trophy from a mission. He's a demolitions expert and relies on either his skill with an assault rifle or his troll\cyber\bio unarmed combat to get by.
Tziluthi
Black seemed easier on the eyes.
nick012000
I like the white the best, and hate the dark green.
viggo
red gives me a headache. white or black.
Frater Inominatus
I would suggest posting by phase; you can, if you like post the entire round worth of actions. It just means you may have to edit or re-post if something happens ot change your action.

Nick012000: You don't have a vehicle control rig so you don't get the extra dice for your initiative while driving. Your increased reflexes only count for combat.

nick012000
Don't I? I just thought that it only didn't count if I was rigging (and if I was, only the best would apply).
Sicarius
Etiquette: Street test for getting information from Sergei about Tony the Tooth

[ Spoiler ]


Complimentary Test (Criminal Organizations:Russian Mafia)-I figure that Gregori's knowledge of the organization which Sergei belongs will help him better convince Sergei to give up any info he might have. (knowing how to approach him etc) If you disagree, just disregard rolls.

[ Spoiler ]
Frater Inominatus
Edited...
Sicarius
Negotiations Roll. I don't remember if i can default to Etiquette or not. So i'm gonna roll both for a default to charisma and Etiquette-Street. They are both 4 dice, so you can decide which default is good, and set the TN as appropriate.
