Yes you did it's also on the first post of the this thread too.

I know the stuff I requested is somewhat trivial, but should that be added onto it?

Yes. Before we get too far into the nitty gritty of what gear folks want please bear in mind that you are all very new to the organization and a signifigant portion of your intake week will be spent doing some adminsitrative things and getting acquainted with the existing gear and equipment. After your first mission you'll have more latitude.

As far as spare comlinks and agents you get a spare 'link and a copy of pocket hacker. Your request for nexus access is pending.

Sweet! Better than nothing Since Pocket Hacker is R3, I'll assume the 'link is R3 all around?

Either way, I'll slave this off to my regular link and start working up scripts for it.

Will finish up filling out forms and setting up beneficiaries in case of work-related accidents.

I really need to up my registering. I prolly could reroll the paladin since I just realized I forgot my bonus die from my paragon, but considering how well I did on him, I'm not gonna risk it.

Heads up New IC thread Here.

Hey everyone, I've been invited in to provide a little magical backup, so please meet Alvaro Estrada combat mage (callsign pending). He's evenly divided between shooting people in the face and doing magical backup. I continue to frantically juggle nuyen and skills so the dude is not wholly mechanically finished yet.

In any event, he is being hurriedly shipped in from Atlanta to fill a hole.

A more detailed and coherent post will follow tomorrow when it's not midnight here and I can actually make some sensible decisions

nice to meet you tarbrush! The magical backup will be greatly appreciated. Hope you don't mind being surrounded by muscle and techies =)

OK, here's the first go over of Alvaro.

Because I'm incredibly decisive I have yet to spend all my money or my last BP, so expect this post to be edited a lot.

Tarbrush, is the Magic 5 your modified magic? Just asking as the cyberware is dropping your magic to a 4 otherwise.

Yeah, magic 4 effective. I'll get to all the derived stats when I finalise the bought ones

Don't forget your free initiation.

My postings have been a bit infrequent lately due to some exciting new opportunities in addition my existing work and social commitments. I am still very committed to the game and will be moving on to the first mission as soon as I can get enough time to sit down and run the introduction.

Ok i've got the next two days free and clear of anythign work related so I'm down to just homework and maybe a side project time to catch up on my obligations here. I am still committed to running this game despite the delay but now I do have one thing on my plate that's vexing me before we launch the introductory schedule.

Team leader:
Do you guys want one? Is anyone willing ot volunteer? Do you think you even need one? The nice thing about having a PC field leader is that means theres less "voice of god" telling you how to pull the missionw hen your in the field. I'm interested inputs from folks. I'm interesting in getting you guys opinions as this has literally been a decision I struggled with.

I'd say we don't actively start with a team lead just yet. I'd like to think of it as professionals working together. Jeb seems like the best, as he hands out the missions. On the ground, in the shit, someone will probably rise to that occassion. Probably not me, but someone.

If we need a PC field lead, it should probably be the person most in contact with command. IE: our hacker or other communications officer. Until someone rises up as a natural leader, anyway.

I fine any-which way really, to let everyone know I leave tomorrow morning for my spring turkey hunt so I'll not be around for about a week. I'll be back home Monday 19th but I'm not sure how much time I'll have with unpacking and hopefully dressing out a turkey.

see you guys and gals soon,
Brent

If we were going the hacker as team lead thing Helmut has the highest leadership score (though not the largest dicepool). I've previously envisioned him as the contact liaison between the team and corporate, but that doesn't necessarily make him a team lead by any means.

In a contest between getting things perfect and getting something sent out I chose to send stuff out. I apologize I don't have visual aids like I originally wanted we'll have to go minds eye a least a little bit.

I'm back from hunting still working on getting things settled in so I'm hoping to get caught up and post over on the IC thread tomorrow.

thanks,

@Sleep
Guess I coulda sent a message to the Doc re: what he was looking into, coulda saved some double checking. Oh well, not like we're pressed for time... yet.

@Lurker
Lemme know if Helmut needs to roll more for that search also. Wasn't sure how much actions to put into a single post, so I just have the initial roll.


@All
I think Lurker's waiting on a little more PC interaction here before continuing, I know (hope?) we have more then the 3 of us active for this.

Well, I know ravensoracle has been quiet across the board since his friend died, so dunno if something happened on the way to the funeral or if he's still mourning, but not seen anything from a lot of people in a bit, without knowing what happened there.

I was up hunting but I'm back, as for the others I don't know.

Sorry for the delay. Work was pretty tight for a bit there. Will be out of town for the next two weeks. Of course that means I have little else to do, so my posting might become more frequent.

Also back. Also working too hard, but should be posting regularly from now.

I've been a little busy, keep posting IC questions and I will have a write up for jeb's answers within the next day or so.

I owe you all an explanation as I'm starting to miss my own deadlines and that is unacceptable. Recently I recieved a promotion at work, it accomplished two things: Changing my schedule to days at long last, and increasing my work load significantly. Additionally I've got a couple modules I needed to write or at least get a good sized chunk done on for Shadworun missions ahead of the summer con season. Finally interest in my SRM game down at the FLGS has picked up and I running about once a week now compared to what was previously once a month.

This occurs against a back drop of my personal life, maintaining contacts with my family, fiancee', friends and others and trying to continue my long term goal of completing as much of my edumacation as I can before my GI Bill runs out in 2014.

So what does this mean: It means that I'm a lot slower posting then i'd like to be or anticipated being, further complicated by the fact that this is the "growing pains" portion of the mission, where my overhead is highest because I'm still trying to give you guys the proverbial puzzle before cutting you loose to do your thing. I am still committed to this game and I hope you guys have patience to hang with, if you do I hope to reward that patience.

I hope to put my next significant posting up tonight or tomorrow during the daytime.

Congrats Lurker!

And to sum up the rest...

Life happens, and it's more important then anything happening on these boards.

Well, delivered briefing Lurker. Very cinematic in my mind.

Thanks, i tried to avoid the wall o' text, but it couldn't be helped in some ways, I'd really really hoped to have schematics for you guys. Basically to fill in the details a bit more, the Hotel is a fairly standard setup for a high end chain sort sort of place. Lower couple of floors are Lobby, bar and restaurant and administrative laundry functions. Subbasement parking garage as well as a lap pool. The central spire of the hotel is confrence rooms, ballrooms or suites. There is a spa and gym area on an interconnected section of the 22nd and 23rd floor. The highest four levels are high quality suite areas. There is a helipad on the roof. There are three internal fire-exit stairwells that exit on the ground floor. The additional fire exit is to the kitchen/laundry area.

Hey all, just wanted to finally pop on and announce that I do still live. Expect to see this post right here alot as I'll be putting it on the various games I was in.

First I want to apologize for my absence. I vanished without warning, and I really could have given at least some warning. The problem was that I was spending way too much time on DS and reading SR4 books and such when I should have been doing school work. I hadn't originally intended to be gone for long, planning to just skip out for a couple days so I could get caught up on school work. Then all the snow storms hit and I couldn't get on at all, and then when the storms finally passed, all the teachers doubled work loads (and I was already taking 17 hours, 4 of which were lab hours). Anyway, it wasn't long before my couple days had turned into more like a month, and at that point I figured everyone had counted me dropped, and I didn't want to temp myself by getting on again.

So now, after I don't even remember how many months, I'm finally plucking up the courage to show my face again (No really, I have a problem with that. My brain says everyone will forgive, but I still feel like everyone will hate me for having vanished). Finals are just around the corner, so don't expect to see me around too much just yet, but after that I'm hoping that I'll finally settle into something that actually has a regular pattern and doesn't require me to do a ton of work outside of work.

Okay, hope I didn't ramble too much. Good to see everyone again.

I am glad to hear your alright Karoline, I was honestly a bit concerned I had given offense or something in one of the threads we were in.

Eastern Brotherhood Data Search:

Hits:
1. Their primarily an anti-anglo group who publicly believe the Ghost Dance war should have gone on until all non-NAN were driven out of North America or destroyed, their not big on ohter races either.
2. They've been a major headache for the UCAS and CAS as well as the PCC.
3. They enjoy some significant backing in the NAN which puts a kink in diplomatic relations between them and their neighbors particularly the UCAS as that's where many of the sites they wish to reclaim are.
4. When UTE went belly up the EB lost significant backing and safe haven assets and there are rumors that both the PCC and UCAS special forces worked to root out and deal with several of their leaders. This could explain why they have been quiet a few years.
5. Their new leader, Daniel Redbear is almost a moderate by EB standards pushing for monetary reperations and access and protection of their holy sites in the east rather then racial genocide, this is due in no small part to his own mixed heritage.

Note that normally Datasearch is not an extended test, I just did that earlier to simplify things.

So where is everybody? I know the lull was partially (mostly?) my fault but I'm here when you guys are.

I should get a post up today work has been nuts.

I've been busy packing and moving stuff into storage, I'll try to get a post up later today.

Any possability for a layout graphic, that would make plan mapping much easier. Other than to dig into to planning, Ariel would be calling John (former FBI team leader) for any information.

I will work to get at least a sketch up in the next day or so, any mocking of my mad paint skills will be grounds for immediate character death via orbital cow launcher.

Wait, I thought this was Shadowrun, not Paranoia. THE COMPUTER IS MY FRIEND!!! OBEY THE COMPUTER!!!

Uhm tarbrush? What is the green color supposed to signify?

Speaking? As far as I could tell we'd all picked different colours for speech? Or have I missed the point completely?

You missed the point. Here's a basic rundown of the color schemes we're using.




Here's another decent one, but missing the spirit/sprite speech, but is what has been used by myself and GrimWulf for the text comms we're doing:

Going for a admin account on the BBS.
Setting Analyze to automatically scan.
Computer+Analyze=9 Dice pool

That should be sufficient I'm assuming your hacking on the fly?

Do you want me to bother rolling, Lurker, or hold off, and if so, what am I rolling? Hacking? Matrix Perception? Basically I'm doing the same thing as a slow hack (i.e. not on the fly) without actually pushing the firewalls of the node, just looking for weak spots right now that I can exploit later when the call to move in comes.

Yeah hacking on the fly, and please bear with me if I do something wrong/stupid. This is my first foray into hacking.

Grim:
Your on with admin access and no alerts have been raised (unless your stealth is a 4 or less for some reason). I'll give more information in the other thread.

Sleep:
Depends on what you want to do the node. Attempting to access the sites address itself with reverse address lookup directs you to it's parent corps main site (Palace Hoteliers International). Think Shadowrun equivalent of either IHG or the hilton group, they process reservations and various things for their smaller chains and normally link to invidual hotel's public and communication nodes. Links to the Door's site at least from the public site appear to have been severed. I'll describe more of what you see IC I just want to get a better sense of what your going for.

Basically I'm probing the firewall looking for the proverbial chinks in the armor so that when we get the go ahead, I can hack in more easily if I haven't managed to get enough to use an admin account while probing. Basically, trying to make it easier for me when we do hafta hack in on the fly, as I doubt we'll have enough time for me to do a proper, thorough probing and setting up an admin account before we get the go ahead.

For the hotel itself, the node most likely being controlled by the hacker of the terrorists.

EDIT: Note, for the actual hacking, I'll be deploying a sprite, so if you want me to have it out while probing, let me know and I'll edit my IC post to show the registered sprite giving me a hand.

Okies, so, lemme know if I get cut off at any point with the probing because it runs too long (the downside of 1 hour intervals between rolls).

First we have the Matrix Perception to look about, making sure no spiders about, looking for any IC, etc. 5 hits
Matrix Perception 3 computer + 4 analyze + 2 VR + 2 TM (11d6.hits(5)=5)

And now the probing.


If I get cut off by the need to go in on the fly before that 6 hours is up, or I hit the threshold (shooting for admin of course) before, please lemme know where I get cut off at. If I've still not hit it and I have more time, lemme know and I'll keep rolling.

So is everyone still around? Should we just call the whole thing off? I realize Sleep and Grim are waiting on me and that's fine but we havn't seen word from Darque, Crank or some of the others in a while are folks waiting on me? This game has seen so much turnover and change fromt he original roster that at this point I'm honestly tempted to give it a decent burial and perhaps look to start something smaller.
