Don't really have much to throw into the equation. Ohanzee is not a great negotiator and usually he doesn't do so but considdering he wasn't too happy about the job to begin with he is a bit dissappointed, upset and insulted by the behaviour of the Johnson. So he lost controll a bit...

I'm defaulting from Etiquette. For the numbers I could as well default from Intimidation, going by his aggressive style and his piercing stare but I think that wouldn't turn out too favorible results so I will use Etiquette.

Well anyway, here's what I can contribute:
14 3 1

You know, I have to say, it was nice to see a group of runners introduce themselves without one hand on their pistols, and another on their knives.

Smed probably recalls the horrible debacle that was the meet for Razorblade Smile . that was a complete disaster. Anyway having said that, I am awarding everyone 1 point of karma on the spot for handling it so well.


Karma award: 1 point


As a side note, how do you get stuff to cross out Grey?

Use [s]

If you are in the reply window, just under all the smiles, there is a link for BB Code Help. Thats where I found it.

Cool, thanks Grey.

Sorry, I would have posted hours ago, but network problems at work meant that I had trouble viewing, let alone replying.

Posting as I type this. Sorry about the delay guys, but that's what you get with different time zones.

German doesn't translate well into english

If he says anything aloud in German, and any of you can speak german, a language skill roll with a TN of 3 will get you a translation, the more successes the better the translations.

I figured you might say that, and Mirage doesn't speak German

Still I guess it's ok to keep translating online for myself, Mirage could do the same using her pocket secretary, I got the jist of what he said.

Just remember, you can't translate what he thinks on your ps that is there for flavor.

What would you like me to roll to see if I can figure out what is going on in his head (or at least get a feel for his emotional state). Perception? Charisma? Etiquette? Negotiations?

I'd also like to make a Corp Etiquette check to see if I recognise this slitch.

15 10 03 03

I'll make a 'Seattle High Society' roll for the same reason (though he seems more 'low' society to me )

11,01,04,02,03

He's German, so the first thing you think is S-K. But they have a very small office in Seattle, and have little or no affect on the shadows here.

AS for what going on in his head,

perception check please.

Perception: 23 11 05 05 04 03 #D:6 TN:4 HR:23 S:5

Whats the HR and S mean?

He seems unhappy to be dealing with the group, as if it is beneath him. He seams unhappy in particular having to deal with Jessie and Ohanze. He also seemed very interestred in Mirage untill she started pouring on the "I can kill you with my pinky" look

He seems somewhat open to a skilled eye, so you think he may be letting you see what he wants you too, or that he just doesn't care.

#D: number of dice
TN: target number
HR: highest roll
S: successes

(its the new output on McMackie's dice roller)

Ahh, thank you both.

Remember on Perception checks it's not how high you roll it's how many sucsesses you generate, and your target number isn't always 4, so it's best just to leave that out.

Its part of the program. A lot of times I just make the TN = 0 if I don't know what the TN is, but sometimes I forget.

Ok so were waiting to hear if everyone else is in or if they have any questions.

So far Jessie, and Mirage are in...

Danny will remain non-commital for the time being.

What ever happened to Seize the Day! Seize the Night! Seize the Ingram!

That be another character's motto!

Besides, Danny had a bad Tarot reading about the near future, and nothing about this run or the Johnson have reassured him in any way as of yet.

Good it is a very bad world out there my friend. Especially in the shadows.

I just wish more people were online during the time when I can be here. I mean, it isn't like I'm not online enough, since I am usually checking back here off-and-on for 13-14 hours straight.


As to the game: I can post more, but I got the feeling I was stepping on Jr. Woodchuck's toes during the last game, and didn't want to seem like I was doing the same again here.

Jr just didnt have time to post in the last game, and I don't want anyone not posting cause they think there posting to much. You can't post to much. I won't let things move forwrd until I know everyone has had a chance to post. In the rules I mentioned that you had to be able to post once a day, I prefere 5 or 6 times but I know that can be had for people who arn't hitting the refresh button every five seconds (like me).

If you hadn't have added the brackets at the end, I would have thought you were refering to me.

That's cool. I wasn't really meaning quantity of posts. I was more refering to actual actions, etc.

Edit: Did you get my character? Any questions/comments/bitches/complaints/tongue-lashings/what-have-you?

No I didn't get your character, can you send him to me again?

kelvaris@dragonbaitstudio.com

Weird. I sent it 2 days ago to that address, and didn't get a return-to-sender message. Consider it resent.

I was at work all day, so I missed the last two pages on this thread. I suppose that we can just let it stand as is in IC.

I had the same problem when I signed on this morning (morning for me anyway! ).

I'd be online more if the net cafe stayed open 24/7.

Or if I had my own damn computer!

Well, I'm the German in the group, so I'm pretty much with Raiko here (ok, one hour off...)
But at least this gives me the advantage to understand our Johnson (unless Babelfish is producing complete nonsense, like in the last post). And it's true, Babelfish doesn't do a good job translating German to English, especially if the German wasn't so high a quality, like the stuff coming from Babelfish...

Unfortunately I'm bound by several real life challenges, like going to university or having a girflriend. I'm online whenever I'm at home though, which is usually from 1400 hours to around midnigth GMT (Greenwich (sp?) Mean Time - British Time Zone)
Weekends are usually a little tough, since I usually do something with my gf all day, so I can post only in the morning or at night, if at all.

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't really bitching about people's posting schedules. It was more of a moan about time zones in general.

Yeah, that damn Columbus, it would be much easier if the world was still flat

Damn skippy!

And I wasn't justifying myself
Just letting you guys know so you know what you can expect of me. I'd like to post more often but unfortunately I'm limited to times where you guys are mostly not online.

It isn't really a problem unless people try to rush the game too much (not pointing finger at anyone in particular).

Off-topic: I like the gaggle of people all yapping at the Johnson at the same time.

Yeah, sorry about the babel fish translation

btw I don't post much on weekends either, new baby and wife. However over the next month I will be working most Saturdays, of course I am GMT -9 so we are a half day apart.

As for the last bit, the Johnson is gone...

If it seemed a little inusual it was supposed to....

I'll wait until everybody has confirmed whether they are in or out before posting for Mirage IC again.

I like the gaggle of people going at the Johnson all at once when they all say the same thing. "That ain't no way enough money!"

As for perception (late, but whatever) 11, 7, 5, 4, 2, 1

And as to Ardens knowledge of German, it's nonexistant, but in something like the Legion, you would tend to pick up parts of the languges of people you serve with. Mainly the parts referring to bodily functions and unnatural acts, but learning insults in another language is half the fun!

Grim Shear
"And then we went to the wizard."

Damn, its been a while since I've had to deal with a Johnson who was that much of a dick.

Hehe it's all cool Arden.

Yeah he was a dick wasn't he?

I'll have the information from the datachip uploaded today. If you think he didn't answer a question you asked, re read his text, it may be in there. If it still isn't there post it OOC and I'll tell you if the answer is in the data chip.

Ok the event you have all been waiting for, the data packet. Please forgive my sloppy hand writting, I am too used to typing.


Datapacket

Ok the bar has been 'introduced' take it from there.

From now on there is a +1 TN to driving tests due to the slick conditions. There is also a +1 TN to all vision perception tests when outside. This is only offset by thermal, not low light.
