That's why I asked

Just making a copy of the existing one.
Com B/R+ rating of burner (TN 4)
05 03 09 07 05 11 03 04 02 02 09 03 04 (8 sucesses) Will be done in the morning.

So whos left? When we gonna get this show on the road?

Let me message the one remaining person and see whats up with her.

@Grey Whats was your final on the sat link being unable to be traced?

Future note: When i do my matrix wonder im gonna go through..
All 7 NAN member states, the 4 Russian ones, and to finnish Jamaica and then the Vatican city (thought it would be funny).
All are Tn 2's to logon and to redirect datatrail.

Ok, but keep in mind that if you get any security tally built up on them, the tally follows you.

As far as sats go, they add +2 to the TN to trace you, but its still possible.

Not a problem at all. Just keeping me on my toes, which is needed. I'm not a matrix guru by any means, I just like the concept of it all.

Any more players coming to join the fun, Grey, or are we three it?

Raiko should have her character done by late tonight. I'm gunna cap the game off at four.

<Mr. Burns Voice>Excellent</Mr. Burns Voice>

Ok. *stops game advancement with amble chatter between charcters* hey look... role playing!

I've finally sent my character to Grey, sorry I don't realise that I was actually holding up the game.

I hadn't been looking at this thread or the IC thread while I was starting my character as I didn't want to be influenced by the scenario. So I just looked at the original character generation thread.

I was hoping to post in character while I was at work, to introduce my character, but I'm much busier than expected today.

I'll post from home tonight, as I live in the UK this shouldn't be too late for most of you.

My character is called Karl, his Street / Persona name is Maelstrom.

BTW as I've already mentioned to Grey I'm a "him" not a "her".

And just to let you know, once Raiko gets her IC post made, I want this game to go foward. I know there was a bunch of lag and I'm sorry to you players for the delay. We've got the group back together now and I'm ready to start kicking your asses. I mean... having fun.

Once again sorry for the delay.

Karl / Maelstrom is a 15 year old white human, standing 5'11" tall and very skinny, with pale skin, blond hair and blue eyes.

He has a moderate matrix addiction, and spends almost all his time there. As well as exploring the 'trix, he likes to spend his online time competing in matrix based virtual martial arts leagues, and watching on-line action simsense flicks.

His specially is matrix tracking, particularly finding people who have just assumed a new identity. He performs this feat by using Info-sortilage within SK's consumer database to find out who has suddenly taken on the consumer characteristics of the old identity. Once he's found his man he tracks them down use the Traceroute echo, and his Track complex form.

He works a lot doing this for McKay his Private Eye contact. He also tracks down runaway enemies of the gang across the road.

Ak! Sorry, I was talking to my boss at the time I made the post and had females on the brain.

Are you all going to take the same RTG jumps to make it harder for you to be traced, or are you going to do them seperately? I'm not gunna make you roll for each logon attempt, just let me know where you go and I'll roll all the dice to see if you get any security tally.

Harder to trace = good, IMO

Yes, but each host is more and more dice to up your security tally. And I also said that wrong. It doesn't make you harder to trace, it just makes the trace take longer to finish.

actually it does maker it harder to trace (sort of). each redirect datatrail makes it harder to hit you with trace programs. Relocate trace slows a trace down once it's started to lock you.

[EIDT] will post in a couple of hours. house things to do.

I'll reread the rules on that later on, but either way, I just need to know how many dice I should roll in the system test to up your security tally. I think Shockwave said something about it being near 45 dice or whatever.

Ok, I'll roll the 44 dice for you all right now and figure out what your security tallies are. I'll assume that everyone checks their tally before going into Hosts-R-Us.

Mo: 2
Thor: 6
-Mjolnir: 5
Sys_E: (I'm not sure which mode your deck is in, so let me know what your Detection Factor is please)
Maelstorm: 4

Im gonna assume hot? Either way, my DF is 6.

ok, your tally is currently 7.

Guys, do me a favor and tell me what you are planning to do. Are you going after the files now, or are you setting a few things up for it first? Lay out for me what you plan to do, that way I know what rolls I'll need to plan on making.

Looks like were going straight for the files with Mo (+1 maybe) on defence duty's

I can tackle the files once I find them, R/W 8 +4 steath. Untill then I can break ice, I gotta a lotta hardening on my deck.
Depending on how smooth this is I may poke for paydata later.

Everyone, post me an update on what your Detection Factor is. I want to make sure my math is right.

Raiko, I need your more than others, cause you change your stats around. Each time you do that, please post what your updated Detection Factor is.

Masking Hardware 4
Sleaze 8
DF=6

Oh, FYI, I have class till 2200 tonight, Ill post there after to get back on track.

Hey! Lindt took the edge Common Sense. I've never seen anyone take that. Well, its gunna work out nicely for you Lindt, cause I'm gunna give you some advice.

Masking of 4 is

Take a moment and swap the numbers around. You don't need 8 Evasion unless you are in combat, 8 Masking is much more usful.

Ok here's my detection Factor

Masking + Sleaze 9+9/2 =9
+1 Cos im great (ie Otaku ) = 10

Question Grey if i may. Can we use hacking pool for suppression?

I prefer to use Detection Factor for it, as it makes sense if you are carrying a part of the hosts code that it could fine you easier.

Tell ya what, you can use two hacking pool or one DF to suppress crashed IC.

Cool it's better then saying no.

Another one. Anybody else see that probe IC?

Yeah, everyone sees it. Though you don't know what it is yet.

Ah. Had them backwards. As long as I dont need to re code the damm chip.
I have made it a point to take the edge, cause I am known to make stupid moves every once in a while... after the 3rd dead PC I thought it was worth the points.

Yeah. And apperently I can 'boost' a rating (Matrix 123) as well, so Im gonna half my Bod (4) and crank my Masking up to a crazy 12, of a temporary DF of 10.

Rules-fu question: to go from the green to the red host, we need to log on again, right?

Yep.

I'd like to request that everyone please download AIM and get an ID. If you already have one, then post it so I can add you to my list. Having AIM to chat about stuff makes things a LOT easier. When Raiko was making his (I remembered that time!) character, we chatted on AIM about it and he got the answers he needed a lot faster than if he had put them here and waited for a reply.

If you can't do this, well, I can't kill you for it (or can't I... ), but at least make an attempt at it.

My AIM ID is Grey1976

erm how i get AIM? and im on msn messinger normally. address is the same as email

Go to download.com and search for AIM, or go to aim.com and download it from there. Either way works.

done and mines (drum roll please)

Shockwave iic

Ta da!!

And Im getting attacked by trace ice on a green host allready? Damm... these people arnt nice...

when I'm on aim, I'm dashifen (duh) but I'm not often there. If somethign pops up, I'll log on

The big reason I see not to run a search for any files or information on the Green host is that it'll raise my (or any one else's) security tally now prior to getting to the Red host. Once we get there, we're going to need every little bit we can get on our tallies, I imagine. 'Course, if there's anything important out here in the Green, we'll need to get it eventually. Comments?

Well lets get to this red host asap.

You're going to need to do a Locate Host to find the Red server. Keep in mind that only one of you needs to find it and the rest can follow that person. It would be a decent way of keeping the security tally down.
