QUOTE (FrostyNSO)
Heh, I'm thinking of cutting in if Ernie doesn't say something wink.gif

Well, he hasn't posted since the 24th; so it's your call.

If you're ever waiting on me for more than 24 hours, you can go ahead an NPC Ludmila until I pop back. Shouldn't happen, but just in case.
Qillin
yeah frost start playing ernie he is posting on his 2 games he is gm'ing and not on this so i'd npc him and send him a pm
FrostyNSO
Sounds like that's gonna have to be the plan. I've been busy as hell tonight, and need to decide upon a course of action (I don't really feel like NPCing Ernie for the entire run), so tomorrow, (hopefully) I'll get this booger rolling again.
FrostyNSO
Well, lets get this bad boy going...
HobbeGoblin
Sorry guys..... I called away for a conference on short notice, and had sporatic computer privileges. And all my "gaming" posts have suffered not just here.
Qillin
i'm going post on in ic , with ernie just saying he isn't going on the net and not leaving and with ernie not leaving i'm sure the suit wouldn't say anything about nathan, but i could be wrong.
HobbeGoblin
I apologize about the not posting and if the group thinks it's best i'll find a way out IC to leave. I have let all my other postings slide also for my work...all my posts have been 1 line or less and while i'd like to play i'll cut out if the team thinks it best. That being said i'd like to point out that RL does sometimes push our hobby to the back.
FrostyNSO
I'll leave it up to you and the others to decide.
FrostyNSO
Hobbe, it's up to you if you think you'll be able to keep up in the game, I understand life happens sometimes. I would also like to know what the others think.

Back to the in-game: Does Ludi have a negotiation skill? What about Hank?
HobbeGoblin
I'll go with what the others think is best.
HankWS
Ok I love Ludi for her negotiation that was incredible Hank is totaly in awe
HankWS
Hank will have to default to etiquett of five in less Ludi wants to go at it with her negotiations of 1/3 fast talk.

What do you think Mister Juan
Mister Juan
Well, I didn't plan on making Ludi an expert in negociation wink.gif Just like Hank pointed out, she only has 1/3 (fast talking AKA Bullshittin, being her force). The thing is, she could also default to Etiquette, or Charisma if worst came to worst.

I guess it all depends on how you see this "negociation" thing.

If you think that Ludmila is "bullying" Stone, or simply trying to impress him in giving them more nuyens, you could maybe go with fast-talk.

If she was relying on her charisma, how she spoke and such, it would be more charisma linked.

If this is pure bargaining, negociation at 1.

So, honestly, I'm not even sure which one we are supposed to use in this case... Frosty, its your call.
FrostyNSO
I doubt niether side is in any position to try and "bully" the other, and trying to fast-talk this guy could backfire. I would say straight negotiation, or a default to etiquette. I'll let you make the call.

Can you default to etiquette? I'm not sure on this but for some reason I'm thinking no. It'd have to go to charisma.
Mister Juan
So we go with
negotiation: 1
or
Charisma: 5 (+4 to target)
?

This is a tough one wink.gif
FrostyNSO
Better wait and see what Hank wants to do?
Mister Juan
Screw this, lets just rollllllllllllllllll wink.gif

negotiation
[ Spoiler ]
Mister Juan
And concerning HobbeGoblin, I personally just love Ernie too much to let him go wink.gif I say stay. I'll admit I love a fast paced game, but I guess we can work something out.

We can use a "timer". Its something we used to employ on another board that where I ran SR runs. If a person doesn't post a reply within a certain period of time (us, it was 24 hours), his character becomes an NPC until he posts again.

Anyways, that was my 2 nuyen.gif
FrostyNSO
Wednesday, Thursday : Spending time with the kid and packing up stuff for our move. Will be back to posting on Friday.

FYI
Mister Juan
Did I get the whole payment thing correct?

-21 g for the four of us

-5,250 a week

-1 g for the vehicule.

Yes?
FrostyNSO
Correct.

21k divided amongst 4 certified credsticks.

1k on the fifth.

5,250/week.
Mister Juan
Ludi is cautious, and only gives her pager number to the rest of the crew.
Qillin
Well Jack has the Car money in his pocket with this normal pay someone will have to say something if they don't want him to hold onto it. Though he wont secure a car yet.
Qillin
I'm starting to like how are all playing our characters, I think it's pretty true to norm.
We got a slightly intelligent Troll with a big mouth and slightly over barring personality
A Mage that is a little laid back but already knows who's going to take the bullets for him in a fight "the small guy always buddies up with a big guy, I love it" and has taken the name Slick from his Big Buddy without protestation or giving his really name out
A Single mom that wears the pants in her family and in her life.
A non-trusting Gunman with no name that is already looking at the girl not just for her looks and style but also for her intelligent and "get it done, and done right" approach to business.
FrostyNSO
Sorry if that last post was a little shitty. I'm busy as hell out here.
Mister Juan
No sweat: we all have lives biggrin.gif
Mister Juan
Well, sorry for the mega post... I got a bit carried away.

I didn't feel like making the post any longer than it already was, so I decided in posting her actions here.

Calls (in order, with info asked)
-Swarna: deeper dig on Rick Stone, Charles & his goons (attaches the pictures she took), look up of the two adresses and contact phone number... Also look into anything that might relate to Cain as well as Kote. Ludmila also slides her 400 nuyens for her trouble, letting her know that more could be on the way if she helps. Also tips her that, if she is interested in work, she might have some for her later on.

-Varya: Kote

-Alec: Rick Stone, Anne Keller (how was the body? who found it, etc...), Cain. Might slip him a few nuyens for a copie of all the files concerning Anne Keller.

-Sasha: Charles' goons, anyone calling himself Cain came around to by a sniper rifle and tons of C4? (come on... I have to ask! nyahnyah.gif)

-Mikhail: find out if he's free for dinner in a few days to fix up a date, see of he has any good wheelman at his disposition, that could be intrested in work.

-Miroslav: find out if he would be intrested in a one day bodyguarding / security job, and what his rate would be.

Matrix Searches (done by herself):
-Gossip, news articles, etc... concerning the murder of models (top and unknown), anything close to Anne Keller, cases similar to Kote's situation, regular info on Kote (hey, maybe this "Cain" guy has a website on Kote wink.gif)

Alright! Here are all the rolls I could think off. Tell me if you'd like to have me roll more than once per contact (since I'm asking more than one "question", most of the time).

Contact, Etiquette

HankWS
Here's Hanks perception rolls I'll do a roll for every 2 hours I guess. I'm figuring its maybe around 10pm or so I'll do enough to get me to 10am

[ Spoiler ]
FrostyNSO
I had planned on addressing all these posts tonight before I got off work, but I was unexpectedly caught up in a humorous conversation with a co-worker involving a shotgun, a big tom turkey, my coworker's great grandma, an airforce humvee, and a bosnian boar.

Hopefully I can post tomorrow, but there is an off chance that I may be testing some cadets, in which case, I won't be back until friday.

Told ya i was busy. Hope this isn't a problem. Like I said, probably tomorrow, but we'll see.
FrostyNSO
Sorry Hank, your spoiler died. Sorry bro.

Ernie, ever hung with ork chicks before.

Ludi, the rolls you gave were all I needed.
Qillin
Slick is going astral before my friends come over.
HobbeGoblin
Ernie can party with anyone...he's a shaman not a stuffy mage

make sure no one pokes me with a stick or anything Jack
HobbeGoblin
Do you want me to post about being astral? or was the spoiler to skip ahead?
HankWS
Here's some perception rolls to get me to 4pm from 10am.

[ Spoiler ]
FrostyNSO
I was wodering how you were going to find your way there in the astral. It's a big city and you can't read signs. I thought you'd be going somewhere a little closer instead of Jack's place.
Mister Juan
I'm going to update on the "gear list" what Ludmila takes with her. I take it most of the stuff is rather small and portable... which she can either carry in her bag (messenger kinda bag), or simply lock in the truck.
Mister Juan
Forgot the etiquette roll for Swarna

Jesus F-ing Christ....

Anyways.

As much as I want to keep this rolling since everyone's been posting up a storm, I'm gonna hold off until Ernie can get in and post again. I was genuinely curious (like seriously, not joking) how he was going to find his way to check out Stone and Kote's house in the astral.

So, I'll let him chime in and we'll handle what he finds out so as not to have most of the group meeting for lunch at 12 o'clock, and one member still hanging out way back in 9 o'clock.

Soooo, if we don't hear from Ernie before about 2 pacific, I'll be back on come Friday.

Great posting everybody, it's nice to see this thing taking shape.
Qillin
I don't know a lot about the magic in shadowrun. so i took him to my place, he didn't mention he had to be closer to the target. we can always have him check out the places right before we pick her up and right before we drop her off with him just doing it in the car. but i know know what he needs to do to do it. or how long it takes so I'm a little in the dark about it.

if ludi didn't mention a meeting time for lunch or what not Jacks just going to get some lunch on his own(A trolls got to eat you know), well with Slick too.around 12 that is. it's not that late in the day yet and Slick hasn't posted so i'm waiting on him as well.
HobbeGoblin
you travel super fast in astral...about as fast as the matrix
HobbeGoblin
I didnt know we were playing into the wee hours of the night. You want me to bump and do astral?
Mister Juan
Hey man, do as you wish! I honestly love what everyone is doing right now; so just go with whatever your character would do. If him and Jacky would rather party, and do the astral check out on site later during the day, I don't have any problem with it (Ludi might though.... she's kinda of a pain in the ass sometimes wink.gif)

I mean, it wouldn't seem "out of place" for Jacky and Ernie to just party and just ditch the astral recon for later.

So, what I'm all trying to say is: do whatever you wish buddy! I'm fine with it all cool.gif
Mister Juan
Qillin: No, Ludi didn't mention any meeting time and point. She did say (well, text messaged) that she was on her way to meet up with Hank.
Qillin
We’ll head out and eat some lunch then.

And there was plenty of time for the astral thing before my friends came over to party frosty was just asking if it did happen role-play it and explain how Slick got to the right address seeing how the physical world is really different from the astral plain and thou you may be able to get around to places fast, it would be hard you him to fine the right place he is looking for.
HobbeGoblin
cool, i'll do that then. I'm going to write it up on word first though as i seem to lose posts every once in awhile...i got a bad connection or something
HobbeGoblin
The shaman with an impulse problem wasnt going to be left out of the party so, he would do it (the astral thing) later. And sorry if the man-whore thing is to much...it's actually the character. He's self indulgent and a hedonist...that's why the Bliss and the hooker girlfriend. The rest of you can be upstanding honorable types but Ernie....he's happy wallowing in filth.
Qillin
well there you go Slick you got our self into it you get your self out of it ;o)~ sorry i just had to make it worse, it was to much fun
HobbeGoblin
Well i did make this bed (pun intended)
