3 is "professional". So yes, you'd be a professional MySpace-r.biggrin.gif

That kind of makes me sad for Haven.

So... Data Search 3 + Browse 6 + Neocortical 3 + 1 PuSHeD for 13 dice, I believe. Do Neocortical and PuSHeD work? Logic isn't used in the test, but Data Search is a Logic Linked skill- I allow it in my games, but I'm not sure if it's right.

Chris

EDIT: I'm just going to post my intentions and the roll in the IC thread, if I need to change the dice amount I'll edit later in the interest of keeping things moving. I'll be unavailable most of tomorrow and Monday, so I would like to get to the next phase instead of stalling things again.
fistandantilus4.0
The exact dice is not too critical for this particular test. If it comes up for something more important later, we'll take acloser look at the dice. No worries.
DTFarstar
Sounds good, I'll be available on and off until about 1 PM -6 GMT tomorrow, then I will be mostly incommunicado until at least noon of the following day, if not till Tuesday sometime.

At least that is what Haven tells Claymore, OOC it was 1AM in the morning, I had been up since about 6AM, quizzed my girlfriend on microbiology, driven 3 hours home, played Gears of War 2 for about 4 hours, played DnD for about 4 hours, and I was exhausted and totally forgot Haven wasn't supposed to be mentioning you. So, there we go.

Chris
Fortune
Once again, shit happens. biggrin.gif

I'm not worried about it. If I really had a problem, I would bring it up in this thread. I just figure that, as in real life, some things don't quite go as planned, and so I have no problem having Claymore react IC to things like this. smile.gif

My sentiments exactly. Sometimes this game format is problematic because you can change your response. THank you both for leaving it as is.
SinN
I know how you feel DT, I was playin Dead Space for about 4 hours before I went to work today.

And in case your wondering how scary it is.....I peed fear. eek.gif
fistandantilus4.0
... What color was it?
SinN
Dude..... I dont even wanna talk about it. Fear feels like fire.... extinguish.gif
fistandantilus4.0
OK, waiting on SinN to officially head out to FarHaven.
Fortune
Well, technically he already arrived ... and knocked even. nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif

We all basically just ignored his post, and then he time-traveled back to his doss to play with Sis & Spirit.
fistandantilus4.0
Thats because he completley forgot about Sis & spirit and ran out before Plan B got a chance to get a post in.
SinN
Posting now Gents!.....and Lady grinbig.gif
Fortune
'Clay ain't magic'? eek.gif

Damn! Better not tell his Initiatory Group. biggrin.gif
SinN
Hehe, didnt know he was. I guess I wouldnt really know in game either. This should be good. rotfl.gif
Fortune
No Magic and no Social skills! Man, Claymore must really suck as a character. eek.gif nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif
SinN
Haha sorry man, Just tryin to react in charactor. Gotta imagen, a young 20 year old ganger hangin around a bunch of Veteran Ancients who he wants to be respected by. So the way he sees it, he doesnt want to make it seem he can be jerked around and manipulated. But we're all good little gangers, we can find a compromise. rotfl.gif grinbig.gif rotfl.gif
Fortune
It's cool. I just couldn't resist commenting. smile.gif
SinN
Posted again, I hope DTF steps in soon. Haha. Or we're gonna have a mess on our hands. rotfl.gif
Fortune
Hmmmmm .... biggrin.gif
DTFarstar
If we are relying on Haven to provide sanity and balance to this conversation.... well, let's just say that doesn't bode well for us as a well rounded team.

Chris
Fortune
Support non-violence

... or we'll kill you!

You guys amuse me to no end. Keep it up.

OK, we've got our place, we're moving in Saturday. That means that I will be without direct internet for probably about a week. So if I dissapear for a bit, that's why. But I'm already getting to work on getting internet. Just bear with me. smile.gif
Fortune
Congrats on the place. You must be excited to be finally getting eveything (and everyone) together.
DTFarstar
Yeah, I second that congrats. I don't envy you the move, though I'm about to move myself, then mover again in about 6 months.

Chris
Fortune
Not to be a dick, but ...

With this type of game format, I usually wait for the other (or appropriate) person to post without assuming the passage of time. People don't always get the chance to get online whenever they like, and even when they do, might not be able to find the chunk of time needed to craft an in-character response. A 'prompting post' such as the one just posted in the IC would be better served in the OOC thread, at least in my opinion.

I am not quite sure if I should respond IC, or not.
Fortune
Note: I didn't see SinN's latest IC entry before making the above post.

Posting soon. smile.gif
Fortune
Posted! biggrin.gif

As a note: No harm, no foul. I considered removing my somewhat bitchy post concerning DTF above, but decided against it. I stand by what I said ... after all, we waited for him. wink.gif
DTFarstar
Yeah, I considered not doing it, but I didn't want us to fall into a lag and wait for Fist to get moved since we were together, and frankly the idea for the post amused me too much. If it bothered you, I'm sorry, I was afraid it might, but I took a chance. I know you waited on me, and I appreciate it. If no one had responded to it after a little while I was going to move it into another post involving Haven hopping up, saying he'll be watching through the cameras, but he had a sudden craving for something and going upstairs to cook a soysteak and seasoned fries in the kitchen he has upstairs.
Fortune
Nah, it didn't bother me so much. I was just concerned that SinN would feel rushed and / or cheated out of his spot(light). Not a big deal, as it turned out.

Incidentally, I was going to post yesterday with basically a non-verbal response to your security system rant, but then decided against it. biggrin.gif

Edit: Oh, and we have a multitude of un-named munchies on the table. Dig in! After all, it's on Claymore this time. nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif
SinN
I just assumed everyone was munchin as we talked. Even raiding Havens frigde for a beer or 12 rotfl.gif
Fortune
That was ... abrupt ... to say the least. eek.gif biggrin.gif

Incidentally, I figure I had better warn you all now. My computer is dying as we speak (it wouldn't turn on for 6 hours today). I am not in a position to get a new one till the middle of December or so, so if I disappear suddenly, now you know why. I'm hoping (but not holding my breath) that the damn thing will last until then though. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
DTFarstar
That's kind of coincidental, actually, mine is having severe RAM and video card issues. I'm hoping that upgrading/replacing the RAM will fix the problem, but my video card may be dying on top of the fact that I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3 with 1 functional 512 stick of RAM and 1 that only like half-ass works. So, I've been having a lot of problems as well. Sometimes when I post, if I have much running in the background I type and then the text appears like 5 or 10 seconds later.

Chris
Fortune
I'm starting to draw a blank on exactly how to continue. I'm not sure how much more we can cover with just the two of us talking about stuff. biggrin.gif
SinN
I was just waitin for Fist to take over. grinbig.gif
Fortune
I am still recovering from the surprise of your character leaving so quickly. nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif
SinN
I thought it would seem abnormal. Haha. Hes got his reasons though.
Fortune
Insanity doesn't count!
fistandantilus4.0
OK cats and criminals, as we sit, Jester is heading back in and the dynamic duo are heading into a debate about what exactly they are going to do. You guys have a plan, or do you need to debate a bit more?
Fortune
A plan? That would assume we knew what the hell was going on. nyahnyah.gif

Debate isn't really helping. We're just eating time. My IC post outlaid the only 'plans' Claymore has in mind. biggrin.gif
Fortune
Party!!!!!!!!!!!!

This might be a more convenient place for our illustrious GM to step in ... that is if he so chooses. wink.gif
DTFarstar
Yep, Haven gets to go be awkward and refuse drugs and alcohol in a gang party setting.

Chris
Fortune
Is there any better time and place to be awkward and refuse drugs and alcohol?
Fortune
QUOTE (Fist & Shout)
Let me rephrase then; you're killing time. Would you like to jump ahead to the net evening and get things rolling, or did you want to 'go to the party'?


Are you quite sure you posted this in the right thread? eek.gif biggrin.gif

In answer though ... I don't care. Either way is good for me.
SinN
Must've been a long day at work eh Fisty?

But I'd like to jump ahead. The next day if we could. grinbig.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Dude, it has been long days at work. Do you guys want to proceed onto the meet up for the piece of work, or did you want to continue doing some legwork? Keep in mind that I'm still fucking tired, so keep your answers short and simple. smile.gif
Fortune
Unless you're going to throw me a legwork bone, I haven't got any pre-meet (meat?) plans.
