Cool. I'll leave it up to Vandarl to decide how, if at all, Moto and Count Zorro would have known each other, as I'm happy either way. Moto wouldn't be acquainted with any of the others.

Anyone have a good idea for how to use Wrapper to "hide" a Fly-spy that's not running silent (to avoid the -2 penalty)? I was think of other non-stationary objects that have RFID tags, but I can't come up with any reasonable ones. In part, this is due to my lack of understanding of how physical movement and distance from the observer translates into Matrix iconography.

I've always understood that the icons in the Matrix are a rough approximation of where the device is, but not exact (thus requiring a Trace Icon check if you wanted to know exactly where something was). I mean, if you're in an empty room with a pistol and you see an icon of a pistol, you probably don't need to Trace (barring RFID shenanigans) it. If you're in a room with 10 identical pistols, but you MARKed one of them earlier, then you could Trace the icon to actually distinguish which pistol it is.

WRT a Fly-Spy, that one's kind of tough. If it stays in a small area, I don't think the icon would have to move around much if at all, but out in the open I would imagine the icon would move quite a bit. In one of the PbPs I am in currently, our rigger wrapped his Fly-Spy in the icon for stage lighting as it hovered above the dance floor at a nightclub.

Thats why hed be using wrapper program, or did i misunserstand something?

He's trying to figure out what icon he could use to conceal his Fly-Spy. If it's sitting still, he could cover it as just about anything. But if it's chasing after a mook down an alley, wrapping it as a toaster probably isn't going to cut it.

Hehe, my point exactly. I did want to disguise something as a toaster, just because toaster.

But yeah, I'll have to think on the moving Fly-Spy a bit.

I'm also curious if you can use Wrapper on your Persona, as your Persona is also on Icon. Make me look just like the car I'm currently rigged into, for instance, so it stands just a little less out.

Sure. I think the Wrapper description even includes thee example of making your own persona appear to be a Mitsubishi Nightsky.

That might be some cool uses for a technomancer

OK, I will pay you like 100nuyen to make your fly-spy look like a toaster when it is following someone,just because toaster.  {I loved the old flying toasters screen saver!}

And I like the idea of having meet on the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle board and then getting a tune up. Sounds like a solid and believable connection.

Here's my pirate code

1) Any insult  to me crew must be dealt with in an accordingly manner.
2) Challenges to me that are not of a suicidal nature must be answered accordingly. IE I don't need to to take on 40 mechatanks with a herring. But a challenge to one on one duel does, even if the other's skill greatly out matches mine.
3) Take what I can, give only to me crew. Work is rewarded, laziness is not. Give not to charity.
4) Successful jobs are met with loud parties
5) Those who died, are given drink as well, whenever partying was done.
6) Honestly be dishonest. Always seek to gain the upper hand in any method needed to do so.

Are we still on to start sometime this week? i'll admit I've been distracted by FTL: Advanced Edition recently. I don't know how many of you enjoy games of the video variety, but seriously a great game for only ten bucks.

[Triskavanski]

As far a I know, its projected for some time this week

[Celtibero]

still on

Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

And Challenge Accepted!

I posted this on the On the Run 2 OOC thread (which is a game I know our GM is a part of), but just to re-iterate... I just accepted about 14 hours of overtime at my job, so I'm going to be pretty darn scarce this week. So it might be a slow started for Bad Johnny Juju. Just a heads up.

[Celtibero]

np at all m8, thanks for the heads up.
