I'll be starting a campaign for some friends on Jan. 25th, and I'm now finally beginning to get a look at their characters. One of them would like to have ShadowSEA as a contact with Loyalty 1 and Connection 2. In itself I don't have a problem with that. However, I'm wondering a little about the Connection 2 rating, with a thought to Runner's Companion p. 124.
ShadowSEA's a virtual connection, and I'd argue that the Membership modification would be at least +4 on the Connection Rating, and the Matrix Resources would be at least another +2 modifier, making for a Loyalty 1, Connection 6+ at least.
As the GM, I'm of course free to rule as I'd like, but what's you people's oppinion on the matter?
P.S.
This for a SR4a game.
