105 : Your emergency plan b includes Thor shots as covering fire.

106. When plan B is "Slag it, I have enough karma to buy back that permanent edge."
---a. In fact, when any plan, even plan A, is "Slag it, I have enough karma to buy back that permanent edge."

107. You don't do runs, you do walkthroughs.

Bye
Thanee

108. You raise your Influence skills, and/or any Influence-based spells or adept powers to the point that you can do the following to disperse mobs, army of CorpSec, or even the cops, without anyone dying, by doing this:

Oddly, I've been generally forbidden from random acts of choreography

109. You've run out of Weapons to add to your collection.
110. You've run out of Critters to weaponize.
111. All of your bullets are individually Anchored to cast high force combat spells upon contact with foreign auras. Yes, all of them.
112. You're resorting to hounding out loopholes in the rules just to be able to keep advancing your character.

~Umi

113: When they can't live down some kind of situation, like one involving a sheep.

You can live down anything with enough psychotherapy and duct tape.

~Umi

Well the sheep has done more runs than most shadowteams. It and Hackbaby are number one with the bullet.

114: Media companies change the details of your runs because they are too over the top.

If you haven't hound out loopholes in the rules, then your character won't have survived to retire.

115. fixers turn to you for such things as "steal the Staute of Liberty" "raise the Titanic" and expect you to have no problem pulling it off.

116: When Lofwyr does your taxes.

117: When you have so much Orichalcum on hand you could commission a series of statues commemorating your team.
117a: When your bounty of Orichalcum is so great that the statues are life sized.

Would this include having an ARE theme song [remake] of Weird Al's "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep" playing when you walk in on a meet?

116a: When Lofwyr gladly pays your taxes for you.

Okay, I guess I should take a more serious stab at this.

118. When Aztechnology comes to you to ask advice as to how to handle intruders. (Did I mention that I run an amoral game?)

What are these 'Morals' of which you speak, and where can my team steal some?

119: When your exploits and characters have become so well-known that it's simpler and cheaper to pay taxes and mark down all your income as "Illegal Gains" rather than try to dodge the tax men of every jurisdiction in the world.
120: When Lofwyr inducts your characters into the ranks of dragonkind rather than be forced to admit that mere humans are capable of the things you're on record as having done.
121: When, having been officially inducted into the ranks of dragonkind, you then set about determining how best to advance your official status to that of Great Dragon.
122. Lofwyr sponsors your ambitions in the hopes that you'll remember who you owe favors to once you're on top of the lizard heap.

123: when your character gets hold of a list of 'runners should retire when' and decides to consider it a Bucket List.
124: as a Technomancer your signal attribute is strong enough, Ares comes to you to get help confirming Project Quantum Communicator.
125: when your personal nanoforge is used to cushion Aztechnologies Consumer product lines.
126: when your Mage and your Technomancer make abet on who can reach 'the Nth Beyond' faster, and it's a tie.

127: When you are asked to play yourself in RED 2073.

128. When the SPAM mail you get everyday "FREE TRIP TO SPACE!"™ does not have any small print and is funded by -->Insert Corp name here<--
and has the real ticket attached
128. a You don't receive SPAM anymore ! ever

129. When Zurich Orbital decides that it would be cheaper to hire you to run in-house security for them than have you keep breaking in to do Shadowruns against them for money or for them to keep losing money and face by having hit men trying to kill you and it winding up splashed all over the nightly news.
130. When you are forced to decline Z-O's offer because you have a better offer on-hand from Gary.

132. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them.
133. When you're on first-name basis with more than one of them, from more than one corp.
134. When you're on first-name basis with so many Megacorp top-level movers and shakers that they all pay you the kind of money most starting Runners get for a hard run monthly, as a retainer, to act as the back-door messanger between them all.

134a. Your retainer affects the bottom line of a AAA corp more than a "Badly designed weapon" affects Ares !

135: You can afford that bar you've always wanted by searching your couch cushions for loose credsticks.
135a: You find a black bank account you forgot you had, and start a CHAIN of bars.
135b: Mr. Johnsons hire you to start a bar where they'll feel safe hiring Shadowrunners.

135c. on opening day an old guy turns up and just starts serving drinks after hanging a +5 vorpal Bastard sword from two rusty nails above the bar

But does he call himself Kote?

136: When they run the shadows just for fun because their legitimate investments pay more.
137: When they hold enough stock in each of the Big Ten companies that they're second only to the founders.

I thought that was a semi-common thing. o.o Running doesn't pay that well!

Item 131 ". When you're on first-name basis with someone who runs or is otherwise part of the executive decision-making of a AAA Megacorp" Was taken care of back at the first post. Please adjust back 1, accordingly.

Only because of chronic backstabbing disorder on the part of the Johnsons.

No, I won't, because people have started numbering since then and then things will just get all wonky.

134a. When the top-level movers say it "OK" for you to act as a courier for their teenage daughter who has "thing" for a different top-level mover's teenage son.

138. When you and your team are no longer afraid of the word "Vacation".
139. You get asked by "MercNET" to have your picture taken as the new cover for their new "Executive Editor" position you just happened to get.
140. A "Night of a Bazillion Ninja's" is seen as a "good warmup" for your lone *MAGE* (with no spells).
141. Your team decker/technomancer decides to "play both sides" of a running gun battle between your team and the corporate guys in order to give them a fighting chance.
141a. Your teams Mage/Shapeshifter finds out about 141, and agrees with it based on the sheer magnitude of difference between the sides.

142. ..when KE rookie, 5 min after graduation ceremony, could come to scene and identify runner's work in 5 seconds.

143: The mark of your wetwork contract commits suicide after finding out you're coming for him.

when you single handedly topple two AAA corps. while stopping a cult from summons thousands of free bug spirits.

144. You stomp on bug spirits the way most people stomp on cockroaches.

146: When your hacker tries to hack someones mind and succeeds.
147: When they decide to lay low for a bit and still manage to topple a mega.
148: When they bring down the Zurich Orbital as a distraction.

Okay... I think I'm gonna use this one...... Too perfect.

128. b Your Hacker ends SPAM for everyone, everywhere, in perpetuity.

149. You literally cannot find anything else to buy. Not nothing you are "interested in" no, nothing whatsoever.

150: Kane calls you up to star as him in the next 'trid-flick.

I think when you do that, the Corporate Court officially announces a pardon for all your crimes past, present, and future, and gets all the megas and governments to agree to it. (CC Justices hate spam as much as Joe Blow.)



That's when you contact the megacorps and put out an open contract for the corps to design and prototype something new that will get your attention. It can be anything they like; the corp that makes the most interesting whatever for your bid not only gets funded to set up production on it, but gets your public endorsement.



You turn him down, because you're already contracted to star as Johnny Depp in a trid about the making of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

151. When your personal team of bodyguards consist of great form spirit-possessed great dragons.

And much good may it do you...

152. The Rigger is called in to be a the head project lead to the Jaeger Program.
153. After working prototypes are made, the Rigger is considered to be "trustworthy and responsible" enough to own their own personal Jaeger.

154. The Corporate Court issues an Omega Order on you, and you respond by issuing an Omega Order on the Corporate Court... And your Omega Order is the one the Big Ten follow through on.

155: Mungo outsmarts you.

Some people think they can outsmartz me. Maybe, maybe.
Have yet to meet one who can outsmart bullet.
