Yay glitches!

You pull up the Pepperidge Farms corporate website. Twisted Sister is morally outraged that we're performing wetwork on innocent cookies, and walks. Game Over.

Instead of finding your target's location, you accidentally transmit your location to the target, along with a detailed account of the job you're doing, and why they're being targeted. Whoops.

But before she leaves she turns to Ace and says, "Sic semper tyrannus de cookies."

Glitch, not critical glitch guys. (Though close lol). It's because computers is intuition and every OTHER hacker skill is freaking logic. -_-

Can we get a few perception checks on Ace's answers as well as someone recording them pls?

[Bewilderbeast]

Just a heads up, I'm going to a wedding this weekend. Most of my free time is spent preparing for this thing, unfortunately. I'll be scarce until Tuesday, and likely unable to post at all on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Perception? Do you mean Judge Intentions? Or opposed Con maybe? Not sure what Perception would give us.

I'll also note that I'm off to home from May 24th (this Saturday) to June 8th, also for a wedding. That said, I should be able to post most days, except maybe the 24th, 31st, and 8th. (I'm working through the trip, so I'll be online basically every day.)

Sorry, Perception check is a D&D term. Opposed Con or Judge Intentions would both be fine. Either way it's mostly just a "Covering my bases." check in case the GM wants to tell us something. We know we're taking the job. We know Ace is our fixer. But, I assume that we get no info if we don't ask questions and check things.

[ve4grm]

Gotcha. D&D is my background, too, but even then I think more of Insight or Sense Motive, depending on edition. No worries, though.

You're probably on the right track with the questions you're asking. Personally, though, I'm alright with not knowing everything before we go. I like to learn on the fly sometimes. And no, it doesn't always work out in my best interests. :-)

For me, nailing down every single detail before a run is a lot like searching every foot of every hallway for traps in D&D. It's probably the best idea, but it feels overly paranoid sometimes. I'm fine with someone in the party doing these things, but they aren't where my mind tends to go. Just not my playstyle.

That said, I'm very happy to have the analytical, cautious Twisted Sister filling that role for us.

[Moneyspider]

Also both Ace and I want you guys to work out some of the details yourselves. Asking questions is great but the actual planning is up to you guys, and what you plan is gonna rely heavily on information you can gather yourselves and how you adapt that plan. I will get back to Phan05 on your matrix search but here's a gimmi seeing as how it's an Aztec Farm, there's probably not gonna be a lot of info on the public grid and even on the Aztec Global grid any meaningful data is probably gonna require more then just a quick search.

[p1erx0R]

Well i rolled because i figured exactly that money. A corp owned farm wouldn't exactly be like looking up the hours of a nearby snackshack. I probably wouldn't roll that because anyone with a commlink or deck could find that info i'm sure.. The roll is to represent a bit of digging and complex searching. Unfortunately i only got 1 success the second time, so what he discovers is up to you of course.

Also unless I'm mistaken info on the matrix is stored no matter what grid your on. The grid is just how your accessing the matrix, right? Unless you mean host?

(and side note, not sure it's on my char sheet but he'd be on the seattle grid. )

[ve4grm]

p1erx0R - The info is available, but see SR5 p.241, info on another grid is a -2 penalty to matrix searches.

That said, matrix searches are extended tests, so given some time, you might hit the required threshold.

[p1erx0R]

Yup crossing over grids imposes penalties. But the matrix itself is one unit is what i mean. Grids are just how you access it.

[ve4grm]

No, man. It actually says that information can be stored on a different grid, making it harder to find. This is separate from, say, hacking across grids. So when he Moneyspider says any meaningful info would be on the Aztechnology grid, you take that -2 to find it with matrix search.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you had asked.

And just to make it clear Moneyspider I really didn't expect you to give us anymore info than what you already had. And I rather expected a bit of GM annoyance at the questions actually. As far as I see it, the only thing Jane really needed to do in this storyline so far was get to the meeting. Everything my miserable little dwarf has said, done, asked and rolled that wasn't, "Ok, I go with the watcher to the meeting." has been completely unnecessary. And that includes all those questions, because Smiles was reasonably sure the GM had already given what he was prepared to give. As you said, the rest comes from IC searches of matrix data. But Jane is quite determined not to lose another crew, and she trusts no one, so, not only is she going to ask, she's going to check. You will definitely rue the day you said yes to Twisted Sister , hopefully she doesn't completely suck the fun out of the game for everyone because like yourself Ve4grm, I hate checking every foot of corridor with a 10 ft pole.

:-) I think we're good.
