well if you want to roll 4me, GM, it would be Hacking(4/6)+Stealth(5)+FullVR(2)=13 dices. got no edge

[Sentinemodo]

well if you want to roll 4me, GM, it would be Hacking(4/6)+Stealth(5)+FullVR(2)=13 dices. got no edge

That would be Omar's stealth 13d6.hits(5)=4
against IC analyze 14d6.hits(5)=6

restricted alert.

You got one action before the end of the pass.

[Sichr]

14 dices? How that should be possible?

I have admin access. Ill shut down IC.

and active IC in unalerted node...LOL enought, but thats your call

[Sentinemodo]

Why wouldn't you be having analyze IC active and running if you had one?

As far as the 14 dices this is pilot 5 + optimize 2 + analyze 5 + homeground 2

[Sichr]

homeground? you meant that positive quality? LOL did I take it in my own comlink?
Optimize 2? hm...IDN, there is HW Optimization option, that gives you +1IMO, HW optimized just for one program...I doubt it would be IC for the field detective but thats just an opinion.
SW optimization allows programs with Higher rating to be run on commlinks with lower response rating, it do not enhances program rating.

Still, like I said. I just switch that thing off from my admin account.

[Kouryuu]

Omar, Mouse do you join the team in meat?
Sam, Ryker what do you do now?

This should be here

not sure, depends on the others.
if there is no initative to go in the house, Sam would go get his Armour, never more unprepared
he has a level 4 license for armament so it should just require an aditional roll or hit on checks, and he had plenty of those till now

[Sentinemodo]

Mouse would like you to enter asap but it is not very long for you to get some more gear. Would be easier to have your own car - but it's good enough if you go by cab just additional 50 nuyen for getting the bag with gear with you. You should be able to pass 2 hits on the checkpoint with buying them.

[Sentinemodo]

homeground? you meant that positive quality? LOL did I take it in my own comlink?

That's an agent autosoft - I don't see a reason not to apply it to the IC.

Homeground (Rating) Unwired pg.113
Agents that carry the Homeground autosoft are optimized
to function in a specific node on which they are run. Attuned to
the node’s particular characteristics, they will spot any anomalies
or peculiarities like a breach of security more easily. Apply a dice
pool modifier equal to the Homeground rating for all Matrix
Perception Tests undertaken in their home node.

Optimize 2? hm...IDN, there is HW Optimization option, that gives you +1IMO, HW optimized just for one program...
SW optimization allows programs with Higher rating to be run on commlinks with lower response rating, it do not enhances program rating.

It seems that I have misread. I though it increased software rating not the system rating. I was looking for the way to implement a +TR to dicepool on the mission NPCes, as they are way too low, and found that SW Optimization could be the way. To do so - that would mean it is not the Pilot 5 + 2 but Pilot 7 with optimization rating 2 to allow it to work on system 5 commlink.

I doubt it would be IC for the field detective but thats just an opinion.

RL I work in corp we got blackberries, good luck with cracking those. They aren't cheap - it's  $1000 per piece including the server licenses we got some 5000 people equipped with those, and we aren't a security  company.

Now, this isn't just for that particular field detective. This is a corporate policy to issue battlebuddies to Knight Errant officers above the grunt level and when you deal in security, you just can't allow it to be hacked or have your cyberware downed. You put an IC's to each of them.

Still, like I said. I just switch that thing off from my admin account.

No you don't. This was played like this:
IC delayed its action
Omar  logged in.
Interrupt IC action - analyze newly arrived icon -> restricted alert -> all priviledges stripped.

dont you guys have a copy of Exploit? I have a firewall to break...fom inside...IC is really frakin blocked 4 me...

There is an Exploit Program in the Hacker Suite program that I sent you (rating 4), don't know if that helps
I have a rating 5, but I guess that i'm stuck not able to do anything at the moment. I was under the impression that my trip was done (Sent said it was a few hours later...) and that I was at a -3 penalty. Hence the IC posts of being tired and summoning the sprite, etc.

I'm not totally sure where Mouse stands at the moment.
Mouse followed the BTL trail to the "palace" and I guess that is what he is "staring" at.
Does Mouse even know where he is at? Is he still in Alice's com link or did he change nodes with his trip?

I think he was having problem with a RL firewall and wanted a copy of RL Exploit

You are few hours later.
-3 penalty if for Sam and Ryker - their commlinks are spammed heavily
Alice commlink isn't spammed.

Mouse is conscious - he observe the world through the rose colored display link He sees what is seen by the camera but it is overlaid by the BTL software. You see your teammates how they move about the town
Consider yourself to be on high/drugged or equivalent.

You have difficulties with reasoning and communicating, but as communicating via electronic ways is almost the same for you as communicating naturally you can text/ar/voice call or talk via commlink speakers as you wish.

You feel the urge to follow the call from the BTL, and you don't want to leave it/logoff/crack it or do anything else than what is directed from within. The BTL programs usually have some timelimit after which they shutdown (dealers don't want their customers dead after single trip from dehydration), but this one doesn't look so. Your brain will eventually tire (stun damage) and the connection will be severed, but this will result in dumpshock. You see BTL isn't safe it's fun but you better know what you stick in your brain. Except of course that in this case you hadn't choice *evil grin*

Just quick RE:
Ok so we have detective running around with FUCKING MILITARY IC (SW ratings 6+ are WAR!) running permanently on his standard commlink. Omar have spent 5 hours probing to gain another boring and useless matrix fight that he and only he will be involved. Story freezes for another 14 days. Dont care about fuckberries, Im not a hacker with Exploit and Hacking skills. Unbalanced NPC stats...WHAT? I have 10 dices for hacking attempt +2 if Im in FullVR, and I have almost best equipement available. You need 14 dices to improve the ballance?

I dont have time and mood for this. If you want a matrix combat against IC, you have my stats, you`ll need just run Attack 4 from that suite. Just tell me the results, Im not going to spend that time rolling an rolling more and more dices...even when I didnt have access to Invisible Castle. This event was more than I could handle. Ill be back when I chill out a bit.

Besides, I dont have time and oportunity to consult the rules, How do you strip admin from his privileges.
Last sentence is almost greatest WTF ever?

Interrupt IC action - analyze newly arrived icon: What the fuck? The node didnt even noted that Im loged in, that is how flawless exploit worked, but IC was aware of new icon? That means I raised the alarm? This throws whole hacking rules to thrash bin and becomes GMs wish to roll another handfull of dices.

WHOOOOOOAAA

Jack out...

[Sichr]

Understand that: If you want to play rolling game, you need to NPC me. I`m not able to play so this makes me really angry....

from the unwired - a security example - playing the way exactly the way I did it.:

Security Example (unwired pg 79)
[...] The node is running Analyze, Encrypt, and a Kitsune IC program. Additionally, the IC is running its own Analyze program, for a total of four programs, well below the sixteenprogram limit of the node.
A hacker has broken the Lair’s encryption, probed the system, and enters the node. The node is running Analyze, and makes a single Analyze + Firewall Test to detect the intrusion.
The gamemaster rolls eight dice for the node and gets four hits, missing the hacker’s Stealth by one hit. The hacker enters the node with a hacked admin account.
The Kitsune IC running on the node is programmed to check out new icons, and it does so. The Kitsune icon greets the intruder and performs a Matrix Perception Test using its own Analyze program, rolling eight dice in an Opposed Test against the hacker’s Stealth + Hacking, which is a dice pool of 12. The IC rolls four hits, and the hacker rolls four; with zero net hits, the Kitsune finds nothing suspicious about this new icon, and allows the hacker to operate within the node.

The only difference is that this IC has actually found you.

as for the stripping priviledges:
Al erts (Uniwred pg. 67)
[...]A node on alert gains a +4 bonus to its Firewall against the
intruder specified in the alert. Additionally, all privileges involving
the node itself (such as deactivating programs or agents, rebooting,
editing files, etc.) are no longer automatically allowed to the
trespasser, who must either use the Hacking skill to perform such
actions or Spoof a command from a legitimate user that still has
her permissions intact.

1) Moved to PM area

2) TBH sorry Ive just finished work on killing deadline project...and it feels rely good. My POV  and stress levels properly chnged due to this...I have a feeling that you happen to know me for a while, sometimes the steam goes off uncontrolled.

3) ignore my last few OOC posts, iIll be running on with whatever it takes

4) more later...or PM.

5) Genereal: Sorry for disturbance guys, Im just a little punk
Lets get back to game

[Kouryuu]

Running, invisible feels good, but what now?

Now we can take a peak inside the house.
i would like you to make the rolls and JDA decide if he helps me mask from astral detection or spell wise, but either way Sam would take a look inside.
Active radar so i do not run into a trap, being careful, witch means -2 on all rolls.
Sent. you can roll for Sam as i am unable for now.
