Analytics is an adept power that adds the rating for pattern recognition and puzzle solving. Jacob has Analytics at 3.

Even if I have been a little slow with the replies of late, I promise to try harder, PLEASE DON'T STOP THE GAME! I like playing, but am stuck as the GM for my group at the moment (which is also fun, but not the same).

Sorry I haven't been around, but the motherboard on my computer took a nosedive, and my internet access is limited to what I can bum from people.
@Gaslampers: Sorry if it seems like we've stalled. I got a minor cold over the weekend which has now turned into a full blown chest cold. So I might be a little slow in responding.
@Zen: Still around?
@Zen: Still around?
@Gaslampers: All good? I'm feeling a bit better. So back to the mines.
@Alex: Yup Analytics will do just fine in this situation.
@Voorhees: NP, I'll wait on killing you.
@DEBO: I'm the one slowing the chain down. PM is on its way.

@Meriss & gaslampers: Its good to have you back, I'm sorry about my writing speed but i'm quite a busy now, new job and all... But i'll try to work visit and work with you back here too.
@Gaslampers: Alright guys in order to get things back on track I'm going to ask everyone to check in by the end of Wednesday October 10th. PLEASE post OOC before your local midnight. Anyone not posting by the end of the 10th will be booted. I'm sorry to have to do this but I need to get things back on track here.
Voorhees I'm making a special exception for you. Because your comp bit it you have till the end of the week. That's Friday October 12th. After that I can't in good consciense hold your spot.
If, if any of you post after the deadline I may accept you back under special circumstances.

I'm here but my time is limited, so I'm very very sorry to make this decision, Martin is leavin' this dangerous world of shadowruns...
@gaslampers: Thx for this short time I could play with you all but i must leave to other challenges. =(

I'm still here, as much as I can be.
Here!
This last week has been difficult to get online for more than a couple minutes, but it's been a matter of lots of minor distractions rather than any one major one, so there's no reason my schedule shouldn't be back to normal.
I'm currently working up a post of what Professor P. has been up to thus far. Whilst waiting the whole 2 days SEEMED like a good idea to begin with, my inbox is at 40%, it's still thursday morning, letting it pile up more just going to be a headache and it's just been too long since I last posted IC - and with worries of the campaign stalling, I figure posting anything is better than not.

I'm like a nasty mutated cerebral herpes:
It might seem like I disappeared for a blissful while, but I'll always return to give you cortical rashes that you're never able to scratch no matter how hard you try.
Regarding IC:
Results of recent research indicated a high probability of what is generally known as a 'misunderstanding'.
Careful textual analysis points towards an unnoticed implication - a request for minor editing of core components of a, then, recent IC submission - and subsequent exceedingly liberal interpretation of the corresponding reaction as affirmative pertaining to said petition, to the overall effect of both parties anticipating their counterparts move before resuming their respective actions, resulting in an extended impasse.

That's two down now.
And seeing how 'marck is doing his very best to get himself arrested (by the third wave of policemen and only after running out of coal, of course), I'd say the argument concerning group splitting will be settled soonish (albeit a bit different than expected)...
I'm still here (just like I said a few weeks ago, the last time you asked for a roll call). 
*faint* I thought we were dead fer sure.
Okay My weekend is going to be nut,s so hopefully I'll get working full steam on Monday.
I'll still be around just post speed may drop.
But in an effort to hold player attention, anyone got any questions OOC?

Fixed my internet today! Now to catch up on 10 days of missed things.
Allrighty The coal mines call again.

@Voorhees: Sweet Mother! 
What? It serves two purposes. Killing all witnesses, and wrecking the office enough that it won't be immediately obvious the key was the target of the burglary.
Also, diversion.
Also, diversion.
See, that's the sort of footwork "The Hand" would've signed up for, if I'd known we were doing it that way. Specifically to avoid body counts during "footwork" was why I kept him at home, smoking heroin, right now instead.
But hey, at least "Hand" is doing something constructive with his time.
@Alex & Fist: Okay, where are you going and do you need a IC post to get there.
@Voorhees: I'll need 2 Logic rolls -1 to evade pursuit. vs my LOG + Tracking rolls.
@Voorhees: I'll need 2 Logic rolls -1 to evade pursuit. vs my LOG + Tracking rolls.
UNsure. Talking about contacting the rest of the crew w/ the intel we currently have, then goign back out to the aristos.
Wonder if they'd 'get' the Aristocrat joke.

I don't suppose we need an IC post.

@Alex & fist: okay, if you don't need an IC I'm fine with that. WHere are you going and I'll get a generic "Arrival post" up.

If I am not mistaken, we still have a day before we meet back up with the group. I am all for heading to the ritzy folks.
Fist, what say you?

A great many thanks, oh master of the game.
Time to heat up the boiler and get steaming again.
And just for your information:
My recent (somehow less-than-optimal) rate of posting had of course nothing to do with me being a lazy bastard or anything to that effect.
On the contrary, it was my carefully calculated decision to draw out the IC part a bit because you might run into synchronisation problems otherwise, with Bismarck's subtle investigations at the warehouse happening some 3 hours before Lex drives around the place himself (I wonder if there will be anything left besides smouldering rubble by that time...).
As you see, there's no point whatsoever in accusing me of sloth or apathy ...I'm still in control, you know... *cough* ...you believe me, don't you? I mean it's pretty obvious that I'd never neglect my duties here, right? Right?

Damn, your police quite sucks at doing its job of tracking a slowly chugging and steaming, fraggin' tall monstrous machine-man. Now my beautiful prediction has gone to waste...
Guess that means Lex will be stuck with this prime example of cautious and sensible behaviour until he modifies 'marck for remote control.

Yeah I can roll with that. Bring on the aristocrats!
@Zen: Ah, that's okay thought you didn't like me anymore.
Well apparently they only deployed lowly street cops. New street cops.
@Alex & fist: NP Arrival IC up later today (Have to get a jump drive fer ma notes)

Address for his doss? Oh man, I have no idea... somewhere in Whitechapel or East End, I guess. Those were the Victorian poverty zones, right?
As for his next target, he's currently waiting to see how many of the other keys have been picked up by the team (disapproving stare) before he plans his next move. But rest assured, there are many more things to be blown up. I haven't even started using his actual explosives yet.

Okay the mines call once more, Lesse.
@Alex:
(For the love of god the Puppies)
@Voorhees: Yes those were poverty zones. Pick one and I'll just do a general location tag.
@DEBO: I'm very sorry, but this is your first warning. Three strikes and yer out mister.

Lets say East End.
@Gaslampers: Hey guys, sorry it's been a while. First I had two weeks straight of catalogue delivery then upgraded to DSL. *Shakes head* when it rains it pours. But I'm ready to roll with some player input (If I still have players)
So check in OOC and tell me what the next part of the plan is.
@Alex & Fist: You guys wanna skip right to day two and meet up with the others?
@Voorhees: What's next for our faveourite steam tank?
@Critias: Stilll around?

His next move would be to contact the other team members and see if they might need help or something.
