German Student with Puppy vs. Hell's Angels

While this is apparently a real news story, it hit frighteningly close to some of the antics that have occurred in game.

Yes, but they don't get caught at the end. rotfl.gif

Yes, we indeed did have a run where the last surviving player exclaimed "I throw the pregnant lady at the little girl and run for it!"

Years ago we were doing a run where the facility used Barghests to patrol the grounds at night. The way we got in, this wasn't as much of an issue, but we were coming out as they would be on patrol. The rigger pulled the GM aside and explained his plan to help insure we got out safely:

Without telling other PCs the rigger went and got a couple mutts from the pound. Shortly before we were heading out, as we reported that we had the manuscript we'd been looking for, the rigger through the mutts over the fence on the opposite end of the compound from where we were being picked up. We all thought we got lucky and avoided them (not likely given our gm); it turned out the Barghests never noticed us because they were having a mutt buffet on the other end of the complex.

I remember that run. When my group dit it we went in at first light. The bargs were in there kennels and the guards hadn't shown up yet. That run went down smoother than any of the others did.

I wonder what the threshold would be to jump a tractor like that..

Well, assuming that tractor weights approximately 8 tons, a F20 Levitate should do the trick.

Never happened here, though I do have a friend that has been asked if he beats babies with puppies by some of his coworkers.

We ended a run by inadvertently blowing up an entire Arcology and then went on to destroy the Seattle Space Needle (in a different run). Interestingly, we are not wanted for Terrorism, just for stealing an experimental sub and blowing up half of Antarctica.

Other than having my Earth Elemental start throwing Combat Tanks at our enemies, most of this large scale destruction is accidental and not what we originally set out to do....it kind of just happens....Our GM usually can't stop laughing afterwards....

Hate to say it, and not trying to flame you mind, but that is some twinky type shit.

And I thought Hollywood produced awesome movies smile.gif

I got to say from the articles title I had kind of assumed something else. Something like a overly aggressive puppy going after the hells angels and them not really knowing what to do. But wow, that student is awesomely insane.

Oh, I know we should not have been able to do any of that. I'm just really, REALLY lucky with dice rolls....as in "summons a Force 14 Earth Spirit without taking ANY drain" lucky...and then of course, I was also "rolls all 6s while using rule of 6 on the Body+Strength Check for said Elemental to push stuff over" lucky.

To be fair, we were sort of Twinking it since we had maybe 50 BP extra at character creation, and that can go a long way if you REALLY squeeze those extra points

We were a pretty useless Cyber Sammy (no offense to him), a Technomancer dubbing himself the "God of the Matrix", an Infiltrator who we never could discern the correct gender/race of because he/she/it kept changing it somehow (disguises, etc.), and me: A Drunken Savant Conjurer. No strippers here, though I suppose the infiltrator could have been one if he/she/it wanted to.

Now, like I said, no offense to our Cyber Sammy, but you would expect a pretty high kill count from a guy whose only job in the group is to kill things. It's not like he was a badly made Sammy, it's just that sometimes a prepared Force 8 Fire Spirit is better at taking down Lone Star Helicopters, so sometimes he didn't get a chance to participate in the action... smile.gif

I think he just muscled it up in the air, like popping a wheelie on your bike.

A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.

Is it just me, or does it seem wrong that the article went to print without exclamation marks? How can you say "and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer" with a straight face!? biggrin.gif
