On the subject of /Dev/grrl is she still leading the double life of Neo-net school girl by day,shadowrunning hacker by night?

She graduated high school a while ago. She's training with Kane rather than do college I think. Probably sold it to her parents as "A year of humanitarian work in South America, to help the rainforrest" or something similar. Looks good on teh college resume.

Well.

As long as you leave off the "Running around, stealing ships as a pirate" part.

So I guess NetCat and Slam-O! need a new babysitter then?

They can always ask uncle Kane.


...What? He's been doing fine with /dev/ so far.

 Didn't he once offer and get rejected?

     With what was revealed and not revealed in the Boston lockdown, as well as the other cannon information about CFD and about CC being an E-ghost thanks to the Jack-be-Nimble program that saved him. Officially, wouldn't it be possible for CC, or others working on his behalf, be able to "download" CC into a new body and have him return that way? Not saying it is right or wrong, just debating the possibilities. It also raises questions about the other E-ghosts online and what they really are I suppose.

     On the Technical and game mechanic side wise, I wonder if a character would lose essence over something like that, since it would be overwriting the mid of the new "host." Does that kill the new hosts "soul" or essence of being, or is it just really similar to relativistic insanity where your mind just isn't your own anymore... huh..??

[BetaCAV]

Kane's well aware that emotion can make you do stupid things.

Irony that cold is forbidden in both Tirs.

[freddieflatline]

That's one of the reasons I started thinking about it. I've been close to asking upstairs to put together a JackPoint PDF, with user icons, info, and so on. Doubt it'd sell, but, by golly, *I'd* read it.

I would buy it PDF or Print.

[DeathStrobe]

You guys could always update the wiki...*hint* *hint* *nudge* *nudge* It's open to everyone.

There are already a handful of entries on a few Jackpointers, but always need more.

[Thanael]

Check out "Shadowland posters and publications compiled tables" on this site: http://danvolodar.ru/files/SR/

There's a jackpoint user list too.

[Mirikon]

Don't forget that Orange Queen just got an invite to Jackpoint!

[Nightmare]

Don't forget that Orange Queen just got an invite to Jackpoint!

Did she? I thought she hacked her way in because Bull said he wasn't going to invite her but Slamm-o! wanted her on...

[Mirikon]

In the Renraku section of Market Panic, Slamm-O! asks Bull if he still has the contact info, and that they should send an invite. Glitch says she probably doesn't have time to be bothered by Slamm-O! And OC says people might be surprised. But since there's already the likes of Miles Lanier on the board, I can see Bull dropping an invite to Hestaby. Not only because it would be a good gag to pull on Slamm-O! (Be careful what you wish for), but also because a great dragon on the outs of dragon society and having lost the better part of her hoard just might be someone the shadow community really ought to keep in touch with. She wouldn't be the first dragon to run the shadows, after all.

[Sendaz]

Perhaps a tie in with the Deep Resonance novel where Slamm-O! has taken a job from Hestaby and she is shown to be reaching out the to TMs as well?

[Rosa]

More like manipulating the TM situation for her own ends, as she desperately needs new assets. Remember "Never deal with a Dragon", at least unless you are ready to accept the consequences  .

[Mirikon]

Actually, Rosa, Hestaby has a history of taking in TMs, so it isn't out of character for her to be reaching out to them now.

[Nightmare]

All right, went through a book or two (mainly Market Panic) to fill out the rest of the 'Pointers that I missed earlier...

Mika and Ma'Fan are still thieving their ways around the world and still not happy with each other
Rigger X is still wanted by MCT and will still stab you in the back for no real reason
Kia is still working as a fixer over in Asia

Am-mut has been very quiet lately, though I'm guessing he's still serving as a fence

Axis Mundi is still about, makign buddy-buddy with the spirit world
Nephrine occassionally pops in to say a few things but that's about it, or so it seems

I probably have missed a few...when I get some extra time I'll really hit the rest of the books and see what I missed...

Actually, Rosa, Hestaby has a history of taking in TMs, so it isn't out of character for her to be reaching out to them now.

Very true! In the Shasta Lodge she had a whole tribe of TMs and otaku..in fact, if memory serves me right, Llofwyr swiped Hestaby's lead TM from there and never returned him....

[Wakshaani]

So..let's see if I can get some of these right (just pulling them off the top of my head so I'll miss some) ....

Okay...that's all I can remember off the top of my head...hopefully that's correct...now to wait and see what Wakshaani says....

Interesting notations! A bit wrong here or there, but generally on point. Seeing what sticks in peoples' heads and what doesn't helps with Things.

Mind you, if they'd let me, I'd write an entire book of nothing but Shadowtalk, so.
