Great.

The rest of you, let's keep doing this. I don't want this game to fall apart. We were doing so well.

I'm not sure what "great" means, Hunter, but if it's a complaint I don't appreciate it. I don't take lightly the responsiblities to the games I participate in - and part of that responsiblity is letting people know what they can expect from me.

If "great" meant 'great - good luck'... well, thanks. I'll need it.

Good Luck Sparky, I know you will do your best! Keep me posted on how you're doing in the contest.

Yeah, it was a complaint, and I'm sorry if it's not appreciated, but it just sorta sucks that so many of us have dropped off in posting. I'm worried that this is going to fall apart like so many other games I've been in have and like play-by-post games in general seem to do.

Just because things slow down doesn't mean the game is dead. Just chill and let things work themselves out. McQ isn't the type to let a game die off, he'll just replace those that leave.

Thanks guys.

My first match up doesn't start until Saturday. After that I have 72 hours to post my story and then I wait to see if I advance. So I should be able to post regularly until Saturday at least. Unless my starting round gets bumped up or something.

Sparky--Give me an etiquette test.

Bleh...

I'm hoping some of Townsend's old military buddies will be the kind of contact we need to at least get out of the city.

computer still down and ive been working hard ...but i m bringing it in tomorrow to get debugged from all those pornoviruses

Kremlin, I think we can afford to pay for the help Chrissie can provide. Running blood tests isn't that a big thing, I dont think we need be asking for freebies.

Alternately, does anyone else have a docter contact?

Bastard... tsk tsk..

Bastard... Porno viruses and popup installers and and and.

So what she look like? Infected ?

SOME OF THEM LOOKED SO...

ANYWAYS IT WILL BE UP AND RUNNING BY MONDAY

12,000 gets us what, McQ?

McQ just AIMed me. He can't post right now, so I'm filling you in. 12k gets us one way. However, 19k will get us there and back.

isnt it cheaper just to ship our stuff over there and take a legal flight though? if the doc will clear everyone tonight we could be gone right now. send people who have registared weapons first, they wont have to wait on the box o weapons.

Legal flights out of the city probably aren't an option. Though, somebody - coughBastardcough - ought to check that out.

If we go with roundtrip with Townsend's guy it'll be 2375 each ( 1500 each one-way). I think we should ship the uh... less legal stuff regardless - so that we don't tick off the pilot or Townsend (or jack up the price even more).

All my gear is legal/permited. My paperwork is recent having just moved here. Not sure if it's good for the UCAS, but I've had my vaccinations and visa stuff all seen to within the last year.

The only thing I'm worried about is if we're VITAS carriers. I'm not so cavalier as Gonzales that we haven't been exposed.

Of the 19,000 we have 15,500. We need 3500 more, of which I can contribute 500. Though that leaves just a few hundred nuyen between me and broke.

im in debt...but i got credit

I can cover the last 3,000, also Edana. the VITAS outbreak started at a train station, we should be safe. The ways in which VITAS spread mean that we would have had minimal exposure. I can''t say the same about our pilot.

wrong thread, kremlin. dis da OOC, not IC.

Hey I just woke up,

Quick reminder--anyone with sufficient successes on an assensing test can see if the target is suffering from an illness, including VITAS

Heh, of yeah! *glances around at our mages* Get to work.

Hey, popping in to roll some dice (in the middle of round 1 of the competition!) Edana will take her time with this, as she's not practiced.

Bishop - 3 successes
06 05 05 03 02 02

Charlie - 5 successes
06 06 06 05 04 03 (!)

Gonzales - 3 successes
06 04 04 01 01 01

Graves - 1 success
06 03 02 02 02 01

Helios - 4 success
05 05 04 04 03 01

JT - 5 successes
06 06 06 05 04 01 (! again)

Tiny (when he shows up) - 4 successes
05 05 04 04 03 01

Me (if I can assense myself) - 3 successes
05 05 04 03 01 01

I'll post the complete results of your assensing tonight, but for now, no one has VITAS. Everyone post your general emotional state when this happens, Charlie/JT exact state and why...

Well, Masking is up but not full power (after all, he doesn't know he's an Adept!), so you can tell if you try, but most likely you'll glance at him and shrug.

State... Pretty worried, but putting out a calm exterior. He managed to survive VITAS last time, so he's betting he'll beat it again. The thing he's worried about is the guy who released it.

Helios is anxious to just get to NYC and hunt his target. As far as VITAS goes, he's not really thinking about it in terms other than the time its wasting to be assensed for it.

MC Q whats the time line difference at the moment ?

About 150 minutes...I'm calling the discussion so far as 30 min.

Team--do you want to come to consensus in the OOC thread? Then I will bump the IC thread along with your decision to the point that Johnson (Tiny) returns...Or if you think you're going to debate it further, I will bump it along a couple hours and he will rejoin you. Let me know...

I think Grave is good to go, as soon as the guys decide what they want to ship and pay for shipping.

As requested via AIM...

Perception: 09 05 04 03 03 01 (+ Perceptive and a list of mods a mile long)

?? I didn't ask, but okay, thanks!

So team--are you taking:

a) the smuggling option at 19K roundtrip
b) legal transport and waiting 18 hours

If we take the expensive way and we have more expenses after that... are we dead in the water?

I've still got a little more cash, plus I'm sure we can go to the people that hired us and get some up-front funds, given the situation.

In fact... it may not be a bad idea to do that now. Bishop is gunna make a phone call...

Ecc--That perception was for "Hunting Shadows"

Of course we're picking up a dozen canolies! Why wouldn't we?

Love that touch... It just makes the guy seem that much more like an old (in SR's age) throwback.

I'm going with option A too, but I'm reeeeeeeeally leery about working with the Mafia. I figured we'd be able to combine our resources and pony up the cash ourselves. Guess it's a bit late now...

Ecc-

Why you talkin to my contact man...jk. You know him from working with my PC?


i think my com is repaired...i should get it tonight or tomorrow morning--hooray

Yay Bastard!


Okay - Unless the pilot objects to us carrying lots of nasty gear (McQ, you've seen the list of what these miscreants want to transport) I'm going to arrange the flight.

Objections?

Anyone who explicitly wants to ship their gear through Bishop's contact?

Bishop's contact is the smuggler, right?

Bishop is hung out to dry--he has no contacts...

The smugglers with a plane came through Edana. The one's shipping gear are through Graves.

I assume that everyone is going to bring their stuff along right?

Also can I assume that everyone is fully briefed on the things that happened up till the flight out of Seattle?

Maybe we should re-iterate what we're transporting.

My stuff:

-Colt Manhunter and 5 clips of Regular ammo plus the one already loaded in, and 3 clips each of oak-jacketed, iron, and silver ammo)
-Colt TZ-115 and 5 clips of Regular ammo, plus the one already loaded in, and 3 clips each of oak-jacketed, iron, and silver ammo)
-Katana
-Combat Vest
-20 pistol pouches
-10 shotgun pouches
-Grapple Gun and the spool loaded in (300 meters of stealth line) and the catalyst stick
-Personal Comm Unit

I think I can wear a lined coat on a flight with no problem, and my rucksack and three changes of clothes can be my carry-on luggage.

-69.25 kilos, I think (but only cause the weights for bullets are crap, I think).

Everyone add up the weights of your gear...

Well here is my list

- AZ 150 Stun Baton
- Pair shock Gloves
- Browning Max Power
- 2 Clips Regular
- 2 Clips EX Explosive
- 10 Concussion Grenades
- Form Fitting Full Body Armour
- Full Suite Urban Camo
- Personal Comms Unit

15.85 Kg
