Anyway, I am off to the store for snacks for my tabletop group. When I get back I'll advance you towards Mine B unless you want to do anything else first.

Also, i would think long and hard about letting Mlinzi use your agent.

invited you three marks, it'll run on my cyberdeck but it can send you any results and take your commands
Given the likelihood that your agent would somehow turn into a rouge AI due to my interaction with it, I am going to suggest that Mwindaji do it. LOL

Given her stats, and the ranks she took in gremlins, she can do more than crash it...

Doing a search on the Maasai + a critical glitch (which she has a fairly high chance of throwing) just might end up broadcasting information to them, rather than finding information about them.

To be fair, I did only ultimately take 1 rank in Gremlins but since I have no Computer skill, that's probably more than enough.  :o

Since that would mean defaulting at -1 die, you would have 1 die to throw with 2 logic. Normally your threshold to glitch on 1 die would be one, but gremlins reduces that to zero, which would mean it would at least be a glitch, and unless you threw a success (a 5 or 6) it would be a critical. You could edge it, but I don't think you want to do that for a matrix search.

If I am feeling nice, I might let you just throw both logic dice with a glitch threshold of 1. (It doesn't take a specialized skill to push a big red button for example, or to scream "Help, I fell down the mine" into your comlink.)

As long as you are using the comlink for fairly mundance things, I am ok with it, but anything much more than that (or in higher leverage situations) may require a roll from time to time.

Hey now, I'm a bit better than that! Matrix Search is an Intuition based action. But yeah, my threshold would still be a 1 for a glitch w/ defaulting & Gremlins and as we all know, my rolling has been terrible. It carried over to the other PbP I am in. My 3d6 for starting cash resulted in a total of 6 (4,1,1). LOL

Sending a command to the agent would be a logic based software action...It would be a matrix search if you did it yourself. That's just semantics though.

Though thinking about how to do it .. "Find information on the Maasai" could turn into "Find information for the Maasai" for example...is kind of fun, so I think you should go for it

Might as well get something out of all the grief you got in that errata post. I didn't see anything wrong with what you were saying. It seemed pretty clearly to be more frustrated/joking rather than a personal attack. I guess some people are sensitive.

Yeah, I think the guy who was most vocal thought I was calling him blind for not spotting stuff that. I did. Meh, whatever. Quite like some of the guns so will just have to play them the way common sense says they should be statted

@rent, it's a rating 3 agent so effectively rating x2 + hotsim makes the dicepool of 8 for most things
