Taking a little longer to research the names for my post that I though. I can't seem to find the name of the Johnson's company.... sarcastic.gif

I did come across Gray's renders for the team.
- Sam's Other Job
- Sam and Her Bike
- Ramses, Sam & Spades
- The Getaway
- Sam and Scrimp
- Sam and Jazz

Have to add Rex and Jake soon.
Redjack
So at current, this appears to the team:
Sam (Gray): Gunslinger adept
Spades (Soykaf Addict): Face, wheelman
Jazz(Thanee): Hacker

New additions to the team will be:
(Cap_lock): Mage
Jake(Kvasac): Drone Rigger
Rex(Gobogen): Street Sam

I will be kicking this back into gear over the next few days.
SoyKaf Adict
Okay, done with finals and back on the computer. Happy to see this getting back under way!
Redjack
Ok. All six are now in the thread. I imagine Cap_lock will post in the the next day or two. I'll ping Gobogen and I see kvasac has already crossed over!
gobogen
Hey guys, glad to come on board.
Thanee
Hello everyone! smile.gif

I'll second the notion. Welcome aboard. Can you give us a quick description fo your characters? You can see our descriptiosn earleir in the thread. The reason I ask, is I want to do some more 3D art to fill out the team.
gobogen
Rex is an ex-bouncer and bodyguard (I don't like his description as a street sam above, but that's what he's become after all). Here's a physical description I posted for the earlier game.

Rex

Rex is a tall and muscular troll. He is an imposing fellow who knows how to use his size to impress. His skin is a pale brown and he usually puts gel to arrange his short black hair into some fashionable design. His horns are thick, short and slightly spiralled on the side of his head and his tusks are short, always clean, and relatively unobtrusive.

His posture shows pride and awareness, but no arrogance, just like his personality. He dresses well and you will see him at meets in a very nice business suit, while he has cheaper shirts and ties that he wears daily and during runs.
Redjack
Sam, Spades & Jazz are currently located at the Forbidden City Chinese Restaurant on Main Street in Downtown Puyallup City, it and Loveland being the only legitimate commercial areas in the Barrens. Jake will be coming from Loveland. Not sure I remember where Rex lives. Anon lives in central Puyallups (Kinda between Loveland and Puyallup City, at least enough for all intensive purposes).

As the team pulled the first step of the run this morning, they can reasonably expect not to have the second step come today.
Gray

At soem point it was established that Sam's apartment is in Loveland, although I don't think she'd know Jake at all unless he hangs with the gangers in the area.

What's up Gobogen? Didn't expect to be RPing with a PC of yours... smile.gif

@All
Welcome to the game, and glad we have more meat for-- I mean, worthy companions interested in furthering the collective cash fund!
gobogen
Hey soykaf. Glad to be in the same game (on the same side) with you smile.gif
Redjack
Jake has been affiliated with Kilroy for quite some time. Given Sam's long term contact with Kilroy (Loyalty R3), I am going to say that they have a passing awareness of each other.
Gray
I'll be out of town until next Saturday. Happy New Year to everyone!
SoyKaf Adict
Yay, I'm glad my absence wasn't noticed... Heh, got a shiny new Xbox 360, and I've been bumming games left and right. I'll check in more regularly for posts.
Redjack
Everyone kinda disappeared over the holiday so I let the game take a break. This week I'm kicking back up with whoever is still on board.
Thanee
Yep. Happy New Year, BTW. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Ok. Everyone who is in post up a fluff post to carry you to the next morning. In 7 (RL) days (or earlier if everyone posts up) I'm posting the next call from the Johnson.
gobogen
I'm not sure I understand.. I thought we were all on the way to meet up IC.
Redjack
Sorry, I was trying to breath some life back into this thread and encourage some posting. I am happy to go either direction as long as people are posting. We can:
A) Continue to post the team meeting up and getting acquainted.
B) Post through the meet and the night to the next day.

I actually like the fluff posts, but they just don't seem to be occurring.
gobogen
Well I'm not sure who's playing Sam, but a post for Sam's actions would probably be best. He seems to be the one in charge and I believe we were all going to his doss or a place of his choosing (he never answered to any messages IC).
Redjack
That would be Gray. He has been out of town on vacation for the holidays, then sick when he got home. Ughh.. reading his post in another thread, last night he was at a viewing for the father of one of his best friends. Ok. Let's do this. Let's give him a few days to get out from under RL, then we will kick this thread back up with the team meet. Cool?
Thanee
Sure. Gonna post something later today or over the weekend. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
SoyKaf Adict
I like fluff too, which is why I posted the "amusement" post of Spades chuckling to himself about her permanent vibrator phone. I can't post again without a reply from him/her.
gobogen
That would be great. I think it's worth waiting so that we can establish some kind of relationship between the new team members and the old ones. Oh and also, it's really fun.
Redjack
Until I looked at the dates, I had not realized it has been over two months since Gray posted. He had posted OOC in his other game about his RL issues, but had also expected to start posting again last Friday. I may robot him through a post later today just to move the game along. Go forward from that, I will be enforcing my initial OOC post:
QUOTE
Time away from the board
I would like to set an expectation of two one (or more) posts per week. Real Life happens though. If a player will be AFK for more than a few days, just post in the OOC and give us a heads up. PM me instructions and I can remote your character in order that the game can continue with your pre-submitted actions. (We all know that sometimes you can take a week or two of vacation and still make most of a combat scene)

Given my own RL issues at work, I am relaxing the posting expectation to 1 per week (more if we can make it work out). I would ask that you either post IC or, if you feel you have nothing to contribute IC, please post OOC to (1) let us know you are still with us and (2) enforce a consistent posting habit.

Thanks!

kvasac
Waiting on a post that says we all hooked up...
Redjack
I had been waiting for caps_lock to post up. He had told me earlier in the week he was snowed under but would post by the end of the week. In any case, posting up...
Thanee
Sorry, slightly confused, it seems. smile.gif

Are we supposed to be at the same table already? Or just in the same room? ^^

Well, hope my post makes any sense. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
Redjack
Sorry that wasn't clear. I assumed the new team entered and would post themselves to the table. wink.gif
Redjack
Been a few days since a post. Do we need a bump? Do you need info?
Thanee
I suppose we can zip to the next day, or is there anything to be done still before we get the call for the next part?

Bye
Thanee
gobogen
I'm ready to move forward.
kvasac
Me too...
SoyKaf Adict
yeah buddy.
Redjack
Post coming tomorrow night.
kvasac
Yaaay! smile.gif

The meal passes with small talk between the new team mates. Eventually, Sam is the first to leave. She nods to the group and excuses herself, distracted and agitated.


I suppose, that Sam won't pick up her phone currently or show up when the next meeting takes place?

Just checking, since Gray is currently not available, so out of pure practical considerations it would make sense to remove Sam from the spotlight for the time being.

Or do you want to NPC Sam in the meantime?

If not, maybe it would make sense, if we get a message from Sam, that she has to pursuit some very important, personal issues and cannot continue with the job until those are resolved, wishing us all luck and so on. That way, at least, we wouldn't spend the majority of our time looking for her. wink.gif

Thanee
Redjack
So if Gray is still MIA when the team gets back together, she will not be returning.
SoyKaf Adict
This is the roll for the Sperethiel he was trying to use to get the terms right.

Intuition + Sperethiel (Not lingo I'd imagine, so I didn't add that in)
3 hits.
Redjack
So I had a nice long post and was on Anon's part.... And the laptop locked up...
*sigh*
Redjack
Ok. Post is up. I took a little creative liberty. Feel free to reach out if I ever do that and you feel the post does not match your character.
gobogen
Redjack, according to our characters' knowledge of the pullayups and for instance Rex's Area knowledge, what would be a logical, central position for stand by?

Roll knowledge checks as you think is appropriate.
Redjack
Rex : Area Knowledge: Puyallups(2) + Intuition(4) = [2,2,2,3,3,2] = 0 hits

Wow... That is definitely just bad luck
------
Ok. I'm trying to stick to a post every weekend to advance the game. I'd like to thank everyone who posted in. Everyone who posted this week, take 2 CSP each as a posting bonus!

I like to keep up a rate of at least one post per week, so I will randomly be awarding posting bonuses to reward consistency there.
------
Work still stinks. I've been spending several nights a week away from home and will for the foreseeable future, so that it throwing a crimp into my personal life. My hours have dramatically increased and will stay up, at least for the next month or three.
Thanee
Better too much work than not enough. smile.gif

Bye
Thanee
gobogen
hehe, about the IC post, the troll with the battle axe, assault rifle and business suit is precisely Rex's style. wink.gif
SoyKaf Adict
Aww... c'mon, this week just started. That's not fair at all! Oh wait, you mean last week don'tcha? ... Yep, I'm a champ at replies, course I was waiting for the Elf lady to make her exeunt, or I would've posted A LOT more! Okay, I would've posted... That's good enough right? So is anyone else getting seriously bogged down or what?

Starting the game off right, eh gobogen?

0 hits? Well, in all honesty I say that was about the best thing you could've lost the odds too. Good thing it wasn't the "How do I not get bullets in me?" roll. smile.gif
gobogen
haha, I'll never be too worried that my troll sammy failed a knowledge roll wobble.gif

But you're right that it's kind of a bad roll to begin as part of a new group nyahnyah.gif
Cap_Lock
Sorry bout the quiet, guys. Caught a touch of the plague...at least that's what it felt like.
Redjack
The best thing about net based games...... Never having to catch the plague from the other players!
