KANEDA!

CANADA!!!



...sorry, I can't help but think that every time I see that scene.






-k

There was a video on youtube once upon a time, which consisted of a picture of Tetsuo with the caption "CANADA!!!" alternating with a picture of a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (ou le Gendarmerie royale du Canada, pour les Québécois) captioned "TETSUO!!!" over the audio of Tetsuo and Kaneda shouting each other's name. Sadly, I have been unable to find it ever since.

le bump!

2064: Called shots on the six wheels of an Ares Dragon to give the pilot -12 to all vehicle tests.

2065: I can have an rating 6 agent program as my main matrix interaction. I can name him 'Agent Smith'. His avatar can be straight from 'The Matrix'. Giving him replicate and having him address enemy hackers as "Mr Anderson" is pushing it.

Even FastJack would be given pause if he had to face that thing. It would be the perfect way to weed out hackers born before 2010.

When I have the cash I'm going to create 'Agent Smith 2.0', a RATING 10 AGENT running rating 10 programs. That should give any sane hacker pause even without rating 10 replicate. With it...
Well, the great thing about being me is that there's so many me's!

2066 I shall not describe any job as: "It's a milk run"
2067 Never start any task with the phrase "Hold my beer"

The problem with Rating 10 Agent Smith is that there's going to be like, four or five Nexi on the entire 'trix that he could even run on, and their owners will notice when suddenly their machines' system resources get hogged up and their security hackers flatline. They'll respond by EMPing the nexii, and Agent Smith will go down like a bitch.

Optimization.

Pretty Sure that Agents cannot be optimized, but I could be wrong.

If an Agent is one of the following programs, it could be optimized:

Which it is not. It is an AGENT Program, and is not classified like any of the others on that list.

2068: I'll never run my group through a game I wrote when I was drunk. Even if it makes sense when I am sober.

First off, no Agent can be higher than Rating 6. I was referring to the programs the Agent would be using.

True, and that makes sense.

2069: I am not allowed to make jokes at the table about Cyberzombies. The last encounter ended with a total of seven burnt points of edge. Bottles may be thrown at me if I violate this rule.

2070: I am never ever to make another TM rave chick that winds up with enough armor and disguised weaponry on her that peri makes her dump it into a tub at his club in denver...

FFBA 1/2 suit over second skin line bodysuit (custom look on the FFBA for a skirt and top), forearm+shin guards with shock frills (think fuzzy warmers)

As for weapons:
2 black shop colt 1911s with rfids id'ing them as replicas... loaded with handloaded ammo with rfids id'ing them as dummy rounds..
about a dozen minigrenades designed to look like lightsticks with a metal tube back (think binary) - mostly nausea gas, smoke, etc (non-lethal)

and a few other fun toys...

2071 : Freestyle Wetwork is neither a performance art nor a sport.

... yet. Many countries are lobbying to have it added to the Summer Olympics.

2072: I'm not allowed to make Bull (The character) suffer for my own (IRL) broken arm.
2072a: I'm not allowed to make Bull (The person) suffer, period.
2072a-i: Oh, who am I kidding? Both are going to suffer!

2071a: Except in Canada, where it is called Hockey.

2071b: Or in the rest of the former British Commonwealth, where it's called Rugby.

2073: Do not allow insane thoughts to go into this thread while my equally insane friend is helping me.

(Actual sign)

Donate blood
Play Rugby

It's a fun game, you should all give it a try...

2074: I am never ever to use SURGE as a way to break a GM's mind...


I mean what's wrong with an ex playmate bunny turned surged bunny girl sniper/mage assassin?


2075: (same gm... ) Drakes are a no go as well... especially ones prone to using gecko crawl spells to hang above doors to lick cute girls

2076: When the linguist comes back to the group, I have to stop using my bad accents.
2076a: Especially the ones that he has blood in. He's a veteran and knows enough martial arts to impress Japanese Sensei!

But does he have a locksmith license and get called "Silent Pete" at his night-time repo-man job?
(Oh Keith, where art thou?)

Our GM has one accent. It's a blend of Irish, Scottish, Russian and Pakistani and can slip between any of these at any time. In particular the Russian>Pakistani slip is funny when we're dealing with the Vory

I'm Irish and Scottish (but can only simulate a Russian accent...), lived in America all my life, but when I get tired I start slipping into a nearly perfect Australian accent.

Explain that.

Perhaps you are just weird?

My accents suck, though my Russian-English Accent is getting a bit better.

I take that as a compliment. A lot of people compliment me.

2077: Using a maxed out summoner is frowned on. Calling him 'Ash', making him 10 years old and on a quest to become a master will get me shot with nerf guns. Full auto. In the face.

How about 'Brok', adult and has the hots for Nurse Joy?

Is that his Ally spirit?

The character then gains the flaw "crushing despair" and loses all motivation to do anything.

Heh... There you go then...

Did you desire to be the utmost, akin to nobody before you?

Doesn't everyone?

To encapsulate thine is my true task.
To discipline thine is my enterprise.

2078: If an assassination target resides in a station at the top of a space elevator, it is not acceptable to hack the stabilization jets to fire at full capacity, snapping the cord at the base, and dragging a 150 mile ribbon across 1000 miles of China before the station crashes into Tokyo.
2078b: If the above does occur, the proper response is not, "My bad."

How long would it take to cut through the cord of a space elevator with a monomolecular chainsaw?

How many licks would it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop with a monomolecular tongue?

C4. aka, the world may never know.

42, but that's neither here nor there.

2079: I may not have the team's medic combine DMSO and K-10, then use a Super-Squirt to apply it to the troll and tell him he's 'Bulletproof!'

2080. I am no longer allowed to mention Aliens, Pocket Hackers, or Psionics on dumpshock. the forums will immediately polarize and we'll never here the end of it!

Hang on... Oh s***, what have I done?!?

I imagined you sitting in a large leather chair at a large oak desk getting your kick out of flame wars.

Thinks of topic. Start thread. Sit back and enjoy mayhem

Damnit! get your spy drones out of my house!
