Yeah, I think it would only work well if 2-3 objectives were being worked at the same time and for a relatively short period of time. There are like 4 or 5 spots on the map that we might need to cover to get the info we need.
This would mean extra work for kalarin though.

Slim was there originally to look into missing kids, guy needs every chance he can get to repair his street cred.  He however would not expect Duck to be interested in help from him. It's fairly obvious that Duck knows his rep.

Hey guys.

About the Commlinks.

You can share within a certain distance without knowing the commlink number. That is why commlinks within a hundred or so metres are visible and don't require a matrix search. The way I understand it is that if commlinks are in the same room as you, you can message freely unless they are hidden. The opposing commlinks will treat is as spam and let it through unless the privacy and no spam settings are up. Invitations to mark and file transfers require user interaction though.

I think we can split up without really splitting up. Kitty can be completely with us but be back under cover and safe. Then Kalarin can add a matrix aspect to his descriptions without having to double up posts. Same with a mage doing astral overwatch and spirit support. Summon up disposables to help the meats, have an astral aspect added to the post, but still be warm and safe.

When I brought up the plan earlier, it was just to deal with people who may not want to be in harm's way but can still be a functioning part.

This next part is going to require a little prep. I will spend some time tomorrow night working on this, I'm still playing a bit of catch up from when I was sick, unfortunately.

When I checked this morning I had a full round of awesome replies, love the commitment guys! Just struggling to keep up!

So am I correct that you guys are looking to head out to the storage facility to see what you can find?  Slim also suggested the drug den, though Duck doesn't look overly keen.

I don't really want to dilute my posts to get them out faster, are you guys all happy with that? I don't tend to write too many short posts unless we are doing a bit of back and forward dialogue.

Actually, we have been running a little while, any feedback on anything you guys would like to change? Things you do like? At the end of the day I want to run a fun game for you all. I'm having a blast :)

you're a really good writer. i think i speak for all of us when i say i really enjoy your style. You take as long as is needed to make it funky.

IC duck wants to get moving NOW cause he'll feel like shit if he lolligags around while his family is at stake. And it aint that he dun plan on hittin up the drug den. he'll tear this island apart brick by brick till he finds those girls. he just dun like the insinuation that he looks like a junkie. OOC poindexter wants to go right now cause i wanna learn more about the rules dealing with exhaustion.

dilute NOTHING. give us the uncut china white, man! I don't care HOW long that boat takes. now that we're all together, there's plenty of RPing that can be done while you're away anyhow.

Actually, we have been running a little while, any feedback on anything you guys would like to change? Things you do like? At the end of the day I want to run a fun game for you all. I'm having a blast :)
I love it. This is my first PbP thing, so i don't really have anything to gauge it by, but i'm having a great time.

I'd like to add to it.

Stop apologising for no posts and stuff. Relax. Work at your speed. We are fine. Once this starts to become a burden you may stop doing it. I would love to see this keep going. More adventures. More settings and stuff. But that won't happen unless this is fun for you. Nobody's pressuring you. If it looks like we are waiting for you, it's because every post is a cliff hanger for us and we want to see what will happen. That's all the marks of great storytelling and I am just glad to be a part of it.

Tearin' up here...

Cheers guys :) I'll take my time posting then. I was hoping for 1/day but it's turning out to be a little more work than I anticipated.

@SlowDeck Are you meaning 2 targets as in the warehouse and drug den?

@Laereth I plan on running this through then I'll look to plan a second adventure, same setting. If I do that you'll all have priority as characters for sure.

Originally I was going to give you guys less nuyen for this run, but with the pace of pbp I wanted it to be worthwhile, I see this going for a while at least! I'm also considering splitting this in to a series of smaller runs, that way I can give you karma as we go. I'll see how the first bit goes and make a decision.

I appreciate the extra money. I'm gonna need it just to catch back up to where i was at character gen.

and having a few stopping points to get karma would be cool. Just remember that once we get karma we're gonna wanna spend it on things. And that takes downtime. Downtime that duck will be unwilling to spend NOT looking for these kids. I know it could be a logistical nightmare if everyone else was training for 2 days and duck was out runnin pon round, solo. Just fair warning of what may come to pass.

@Kalarin

It looks like you are waiting on us so I am going to continue dialogue if that's right.
