Who? KILL THEM!! KILL THEM ALL!!
I'm afraid it was me.
Anyway real dice aren't really random either, real dice are in fact not perfect cubes rolled on perfectly flat surfaces and even little things like the number of pips, which are often holes and thus imbalance the die, throws off the true randomness of real die as well.
So I usually just use a computer program, particularly when playing Shadowrun, where you frequently throw 30 die in a single round of combat.

Hmm I thought you guys decided to let James (BGMFH) handle the negotiations...
But that's okay, I guess....

Hey, whatever. 
Eh, I said I'd handle it first, a few posts earlier, and it felt like the thread was lagging and needed to actually start doing something. Playing the role is good and all but taking 3 weeks to get through the initial meet can get boring for everybody.
Besides, Torque has better social skills (Doc's gotta have a bedside manner) and can slot a complimentary knowsoft to boot.

Nice post, Tziluthi 
lets keep it running, folks.. I'm DYING to see the gate :D
Might be gone a few days, working on that now.
Ditto on the gone for a few days. But I should be able to keep to my "one a day" promise. It all comes down to if I buy the (so-called) high speed internet access at the hotels...
crechebaby: I'm really sorry about missing the part where you passed a pastry to Cosmo. I corrected my last post to include that... Oh, how I should have used the Oblivious flaw in this game. It would have served me well...
lol
s'okay.
she probably just figures he's stoned or something..

If it's any consolation, *I* don't even know if he is or not half the time.
heheheh (to above)
hey, shadow.. I know you're enjoying this, but if you don't pull the curtain soon, ran's going to go completely nuts and carve it out of you..
and, man... I so love toaster strudels. the strawberry and cream cheese ones? mmmm... *drool*

ahhh.. bacon cheeeeeeseburgers.....
man, I'm hungry.
man, I'm hungry.
Not only bacon, but pizza and bacon! I wonder how you put those together.... 
Bacon on pizza is the bomb!
Mmmm... Pepperoni, Bacon, and Jalapeno Pizza...
Mmmm... Pepperoni, Bacon, and Jalapeno Pizza...
Over here Domino's makes a Double Bacon Cheese Burger and it is nice. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.
I'm a fan of the Heart Attack Special. Large stuffed-crust with triple pepperoni and tripple cheese. Mmm... blocked arteries... <Homer drool>
I was a big fan of that "Insider Pizza" Pizza Hut was doing for awhile..
you can never have too much cheese.

Stuffed Crust Insider Meat Lovers with two whole bottles of Parmesan Cheese poured on top.... :: drools copiously ::
You people are sick. Two whole bottles of cheese? 
Hand tossed with ham, green bell peppers, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, and bacon bits. No parmesan. No crushed red peppers. Now that's a good pizza.

Mmmmm, pizza.... You know this is a dangerous thread to read when you're feeling ill?
Am I the only one that puts potato on pizza? *blinks* It's fantastic with caramelized onion, ham, old cheddar, asagio, and cream sauce. And now, of course, I want some..
*stalks off in search of pizza 'fixins'*

Potatoes? You're a sick little monkey.
But yeah, the Insider Pizza was to die for. If only they offered it in Stuffed Crust, I'd have been in heaven.

I once tried this pizza that had.. basically taco salad on top of it.. lettuce and everything.
So it looked like someone had spewed in the pizza box, but it tasted great.
hehehe.. just thought I should dampen all of your ravenous appetites with that last one there...

hey, moonstone.. you need to reread the last several IC posts from Shadow.
your questions regarding two way travel through the wormhole and dialing home have already been asked and answered.

y'all just want heavier ordinance because OOC you know somethings going to go terribly, terribly wrong...

BGMFH were you talking to the group in your last post? Alex and Mark both left.

I may act like Jack, but James is much closer to Jonas Quinn in many ways. Such as not being confused by technical details.

Well, I want APDS because it's what I had always PLANNED on having Ghost Dragon carry. I unfortunately had to change that when I entered him into a game, one of Grendel's I think, where the GM decided that we couldn't use APDS unless we stole it. Ghost Dragon is just taking advantage of the free gear, and IC, he already knows that something is going to go wrong because he thinks the two guys are taking the wrong approach. In his opinion, they should have already sent a dog through and taken pictures of the gate and its DHD from the other side. Simply send the drone through and put it on standby. Open the gate again and order it to take pictures with a burst signal. Open the gate again and order it to send them back with another burst signal. It's all so simple, but they haven't figured this out. You see?
Anyone who has equipment requests can leave them with Emma when or if they choose to leave. In other words email me or PM me and I will get back to you with what they can get you. While they have a lot do not expect any military grade hardware.
Aww shucks. <scratches off his request for a Ruhr Frettchen stealth tank with medium naval railgun>
Party pooper.
Party pooper.
leowulf..
did you completely miss the whole discussion about the drone operating on burst signals that alex and cosmo had?
does no one actually READ the IC posts??

Somewhat less sarcastically, they *did* do all of that. Specifically, they did send a drone through, pre-programmed so they wouldn't have to worry about opening the Gate an extra time (saving energy and time), and have picked up a few pictures for the bargain, including the DHD. It was only when they left the drone there to do 24 hours of pre-programmed recon that it disappeared, hopefully due to some sort of natural occurence or perhaps a fault in the programming (Lord knows that we can't even get things to work right when we're driving them interactively; programming a drone to operate on alien terrain must be light-years more difficult.)
As for sending a dog through: why do you think they hired you people?
Seriously, you guys are probably less important than dogs; particularly since, unlie a dog, they don't have to pay *any* overhead hiring a group of shadowrunners if you die en route.As for asking for APDS and the like, I'm just surprised that you'd even *ask* for something like that from a research group's storage locker with a straight face. The stuff's Availability 14, the highest I've seen in *any* sort of equipment. As I interpret it, that means it should be almost impossible to get, and generally *not* something you can just casually ask for and think you have a snowball's chance in hell of actually getting. Y'know, like a heavy APC or deltaware implantation clinic or something. Does anyone else think this, or is my newbieness showing again?
Nope. 100% dead on as far as I'm concerned.
Heh, cool. Something I just noticed. I thought I was just joking, but it's true: a Rating 6 Betaware clinic and a rating 2 *DELTAWARE* clinic are both Availability 13, so it actually *is* easier to buy the equipment for a deltaware implantation clinic than it is to get APDS ammunition.

by golly.. if I don't materialize on the other side, the 5k they gave me doesn't either!
ah, point. Forgot about the 5k in nuyen. Well, they can sell your cars then.
Due to inflation, that's probably less than a pooch.
Hey, just because we are runners, doesn't mean we are cheaper than Army Soldiers... oh you said dogs, not dog-faces...
I'm pretty sure that some dogs cost more than that these days.
