Well, it's still "today" in some parts of the world, isn't it?

Will be away Thursday through Sunday, as noted in the LitS group calendar.

And now, to write. (And to continue that later today.)

(Oh, and I added the "Smile of the Day" link in the "interests" section of my profile, if anyone is looking for a good collection of jokes. It's a free-for-all: anyone is welcome to contribute, in that thread or elsewhere on that board.)

Ahem...way overdue karma for my players. My apologies everyone. I typically wait until all the other GMs have awarded karma in the current 'cycle' before awarding mine, to ensure my karma records are up to date. I kept waiting on BC, and then I FINALLY (no comments about your GM's Intelligence please) realized/remembered the reason Shadow wasn't getting karma is because he's temporarily on the sidelines with his wife, first child, and soon-to-be newborn baby. Oops...yeah...my bad. *sheepish grin*

(8/17-9/28)

Sedna: Base 6 + 1 GM + 2 quality = 9

Sedna Only:


Paul: Base 6 + 1 quality = 7
Scrap: Base 6 + 2 quality = 8
Slip: Base 6 + 1 quality = 7

Just letting you guys know I'm out of town this weekend, and won't be back until late sunday night. I'll try to check in as I can though, so feel free to shoot me questions or what not.

Have fun, be careful.

Karma awards for my players

Cedric: 1 (Sep 26th - Oct 2nd)

Ladies and gentlemen.

As posted i should have been back on the boards as of the 12th of September. However during my absence between the 26th August and that time it seems some problems were experianced with my ISP and as such I have had to change provider. Unfortunately this means i will not have an reliable internet connection until the end of October (the one i am currently using is rather slow and only seems to want to work occasionally for random periods of time). I`m meant to be fully re-connected on something like the 15th but I`ll believe it when i see it, so expect the end of October to be on the safe side.

My apologies to those this may cause difficulties for.

Jon / Knight

Due to stuff that has come up with life in general I'm afraid I'm gonna have to bow out of this game. I really enjoyed the time I spent here, but I just find that life has made keeping up with it difficult, and there are several other things that demand more of my attention at this time.

I apologize for any major inconvience this may cause Sedna and Digital in regards to the ongoing campaign, but I figure better to do it this way than to just have me drop off the face of the boards with no warning or, as pitiful as mine is, explanation.

It's been fun, maybe I'll be able to come back in a few months... but I'm not sure.

Good luck to everyone else.

-Paul

Scrap, Slip- I'll get a reply for both of you up tomorrow.

Sedna- Seems like you're just using this time to train, unless I missed/forgot something. Correct me if you need something from me please.

Scrap-

Karma awards for my players:

Shadowrunner13: 1 pt (Sep 28th - Oct 04th)
Bastard: 2 pts (Sep 28th - Oct 04th)
Bclements: 3 pts (Sep 28th - Oct 04th)
The Eyes: 1 pt (Sep 28th - Oct 04th)

Good luck to you, paul. I'll miss you, but life does come first. But when you are free again, I'll look forward to playing with you again ... and by then maybe we'll only just have gotten to SoCal

Paul- Definitely going to miss the man with the first post and the first character.

I'll be NPCing Blaze for storyline continuity, so if it turns out you can make it back, I'd love to have you. Take care, and best wishes with all the RL stuff.

Good luck, Paul.

WR1-
Has John ever heard of Cross?

Never heard of him, although obviously Cheryl's dealt with him in the past.

Tell me Tony at least got a phone number off of her.

Don't remember him asking for one.

Well, at least a note or something?

You know, it's moments like these when I'm glad I don't try and resist my evil tendencies. I just don't think I could do it.

Yes, she left a slip of paper with her LTG number on it on the table. It's folded to look like some kind of flower.

Wait, you did NOT resist your evil tendencies and yet she DID leave a slip of paper with her LTG number on the table?

Well, as far as Tony knows that's all she left.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'hmmm...grendel's being evil and he gave Tony a way to contact the hot chick, which he is compelled to do simply by virtue of the fact that he's a man and she's a smoking hot babe who wants him and therefore he's freaking screwed since he has a way to call her because she's just setting him up for a big time fall' kind of evil. But that works too.

She's not evil, she's just....misunderstood. Yeah. Misunderstood. That sounds right.

Famous last words.

Of course that would mean that Eyes is in a way benefiting from having as little idea of what to do with a woman as I do. I'm not sure that's a comforting thought.

WR1/Scrap - I'll have an update this afternoon sometime. I have been sick the last couple of days.

WR1 - So in the timeline our meet is happening before Renraku Shutdown occurs I take it.


Slip

WR1 - I am going to let you help me fill in the rest of the conversation between Thomas and Max.

grendel: Perception for Tony. Just looking around his apartment, doing normal post-hookup-and-the-woman-left-in-your-sleep stuff (making coffee, checking to make sure Reign didn't lift any credsticks, etc)

(-1 to TN): 3, 4, 5, 3, 9

You make it sound like she's some kind of petty thief.

No, as near as Tony can tell, nothing is missing or out of place.

You can never be too careful, although she does know where Tony lives (one place, at least).

Don't know what rolls I'll need for the search, but here we go:

Here is what Tony is able to find with his quick search.

Scrap- Go ahead and write up to starting the interrogation. The guy is conscious, but he won't resist, since he's only just barely conscious.

Bastard, give me a street etiquette roll for Marquis, please.

Scrap- Do you plan on having John attend the meeting with the Wong's or is Max going to have to fly solo on it?

WR1-
I'm going, so long as the goon from Lee Chee Garden sings in time. I already set it up for John to meet Max at the Respite an hour before the meet with the Wongs.

I'll have a post up later today.

Guys, I just had a family member pass away, so my posting will be sporadic again for the rest of the week.

Hope I don't hold everyone back to much.

Slip

Slip- I'm sorry to hear about that. Don't worry about posting, take care of your family and whatever business needs to be taken care of, and just let us know when you're back. Take care.

Sorry to hear that, Slip. Take care.

WR1-
We'll proceed a knuckle at a time until he answers.

...a pair of pliers and a blowtorch....

I thought about hiding in a bowl of rice, but couldn't figure out how to work it into the storyline...

It's not Indochina, but its close enough

Karma awards for my players:

It hurts me more than it does you. Really!

Sorry for delays...lot of OT

Ett for Marquis
7,4,3,1

Well, they actually managed to work ahead of schedule and I`m finally stable in cyberspace again. Sorry to see we lost paul *waves* and sorry again for my somewhat tardy later summer / early autumn. Now at least i can get a look in again at things and hopefully get post rate upto where it was when i got started here.

Cya in the Shadows chummers!

It's good to know that you are back for good Be on the lookout for an email or two from me to catch up on a few things. Barring that, I'll just be picking up your story right where it left off. Please let me know if this is not ok with you.

Welcome back!!!

You're back Moirdryd? Great! Now if I may borrow a page from Grendel's book...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!

WR1-
John's going to open the goon's shirt to check for tatoos. Also, the roll below is to check to see if he knows the name.
