So a little poll to help finding a solution to get the pdf quickly

You missed putting an "Other" option in your poll. I say hire a 'runner team to break into Adam's house today and finish the PDF for him.

i've also forgot to detail that the solution number 2 allows that nobody get SR4 before us, the pdf guys

Damn. And to think I was contacting my fixers to build a runner team for a standard human snatch-and-grab has bad effects.

Funny part is that every solution listed here would delay the release of the PDF, be it by police reports, plane trips, cutoff of access to computers, or personal pride (in relation to 3).

*laughs* You gotta watch for Adam's counter-shadowrunners. As well as the cannon fodd-- er, those who are competing in the tournament.

And gotta make sure someone else doesn't do something similar in a preemptive strike, to drive up the cost of the PDF for their own nefarious devices.

Or those 2 in ten Mr. Johnsons who wil screw over everyone involved for their own gain.. Adam would definitely fall under this category if he could think coherantly, I'm sure.

On a positive note: I'm sure Adam is enjoying his flight. A chance to unwind, with no comittments or worries, is a nice thing. He probably isn't thinking that, but he should be.

Hope his flight connects through Chicago and not Salt Lake. There isn't a single place in the Salt Lake airport to buy a drink.

He's probably asleep. He did stay up all night.

I have no fear of Adam's counter-runners. I'm sending in six teams, heavily armed, as distractions. It'll be the group of innocent-looking fans standing next to him when the run goes down that will pull the real extraction.

Of course, I haven't bothered to tell those six teams that they are distractions. Why would AI do something like that, after all? It hurts their efficiency in battle. And I have no problem with them squealing to the cops. Stephen King will when the cops bust down his door to arrest him for the crime, though.

#4 - ..if this means the .pdf is well-formatted, -indexed and free of DRM.
If it is tagged, too, that would be an incredible bonus.

#4. I really shouldn't be spending money right now anyway, so this is actually best for me.

I've actually got a couple of friends at GenCon right now that are bouncers. They could probably handle the kidnapping.

Not that it matters much to me. I get a hardcopy of the book as soon as they get back.

Quickest solution:

Deck into Adam's computer, finish the pdf, then deck into battlecorp and post the pdf for sale.

Unfortunately, it looks like Adam was running Ichi OS, circa 2070... Gildashard's 6 year old Fairlight doesn't stand a chance .

I´m just... it´s like... I don´t know. I´m like a six year old who was just told christmas is postponed for a week. Can´t remember last time waiting for something was this hard. I´ll have to call on all my masochistic tendencies to be able to saviour that. Or I could just be angry, that´s gratifying too.
