[Kouryuu]

As promised time for a small advancement:

Karma

2 Karma for getting the Alice commlink
1 Karma for getting the Agent's remains and datafile it was carrying.

Additional Karma:
Omar - 3 - as usual for activity and response time, I've remember you being active through the entire game even if I don't rememeber what was it about (are we really playing two months already???)
Sam - 3 - several excellent posts especially in the beginning of the game (the interview with Dean scene) (the last one being mostly combat or matrix, hadn't a lot space for you to shine)
Riker - 3 - several good posts, I liked the way you round out the team in the magic department, and I have much deeper respect after my tries to play the game via the tablet. 
Mouse - 3 - for excellent entrance, I loved your initial posts and Unca Omar playout, the matrix scene was played out very good also, good game so far. Glad to have you around.

Thanks sent for the remainder of this post

AND

Sam moved like a ghost, and even so the eyes of the junkies have followed him. They haven't see him, rather a mirage that the BTL has been inducing into their brains. They haven't protested when he freed them of their weapons. They were knives, clubs and three streetline specials.

Extra 150 + half of the knives and clubs, but i gues they are worthless, so if noone needs the streetlight then we can sell them and get us some ammo back

IF you're up to for the next run, please make your upgrades, and send me updated cards.

Next run will be MUCH less matrix oriented - that's as a lesson learnt from this one and few previous, that had definitely been heavy on the matrix front. I am going to run mission 18.

However, as a word of advise, it seems, that most of the Missions, include one or another matrix component, that in PbP tend to be time consuming (even more then in table games). So I think you might want to learn some bits of the matrix to your characters. The software can take you a long way, and you could at least follow the better fighters into the wireless realms and increase the pool of action you'll have in combat. On the other side, it would be good Snake if you could develop Mouse with some secondary skillset, because there are some of the runs, that are essentialy into dead matrix zones.

I'd welcome any feedback on the run as usual.

I'm in for another run. As far as what gear I want still debating between two pieces to ask for. Will get you an updated card in the next day or so.

[Kouryuu]

Setting out the character looking at ways to develop him a bit further, but for the next mission he will be there

[Sentinemodo]

are you comfortable guys with the number of players and skillsets you have or you want me to look for someone to join?

we lack a heavy hitter and a Face, weapon specialist    -    And before you say anything, Taser is not real weapon, it's just Sam's way tu use it like one. as he can carry it legally everywhere.

The team is Great, we have two matrix fighters two real world ones, a semi face, a mage, a rigger, a tecnomancer, and Sam is not that bad in a fight, better then i expected while making him at least. But to be fair, you have not really given us a challenge, we have been fighting gangs not much more up until now or taken the guards by suprise, so Sam has to get to a fair battle yet.

So as for new members, it's up to you, most important is that it does not slow us down, as the game is faster then most. and i like it that way.

no problem here...but.. What about Fractal? He was a part of the crew (you know that humming...Part of the crew, part of th ship. Part of the crew, part of the ship...)

As for that Matrix thing you have been talkinking about...I think that we dont have to by worry about that because we had improved our understanding greatly in recent runs so things may run smoothly.

Since we have only 7 days, I will follow my plans only I will have a few things done...repairing D2 (just 3-4 boxes) with parts from that broken one, Spoofing lifestyle in cooperation with Mouse, sending request for parts and plans for later construction work.
For that S-D Dalmatian...
You said something about possibility to buy equipement and SIN from idn mafia?? I cant find the post concerning this topic?

[Sentinemodo]

That possibility is one time - you can instead of the cash payment get some restricted gear of availability up to 12 at the book value.
The things will take a little time to get depending on the availability treshold, but they will arrive before the next run.

the above apply to the SIN as well, but since it will be Dean working on them, and it is one of the Mafia's core businesses the availability allowance is higher and upped to 15. Note, that the base prices apply for a citizen SIN of given rating, special SINs cost more.

[Sentinemodo]

from the above I gather you like it being the fast paced game. more players mean slowdown. still Fractal has been part of the team.
I think we can handle slowdown and you could use a little more face skills. Still his runner is more or less overlapping you - Sam get a little face and Mouse get matrix covered fully with Omar's being backup. That makes you highly specialized matrix/B&E team. which isn't bad, you just lack on the heavy hitting front, which is good from the balance point of view.

talking to myself, I've reached conclusion, I'll offer him rejoin. 
 

[Sentinemodo]

talking to Kour, it occured to me I wasn't watching close enough at your skill upgrades - please keep in mind that in addition to karma cost, there is also time requirement - and you got only one week interval. so plan your development accordingly.

previous upgrades stay as they are

[Sichr]

Well for heavy weapon support we have two...eh...one drone equiped with a gun. We can mount something heavier if you want, but I think we are not going to be combat heawy squad.

Ive read my to-do-list, looking if there is something I may use some help with, and Ive found that Ive mistaken skill for Interface customization, it is Software, and since I dont posess the skill, no way...this makes things a bit easier...
Mouse can you lend us a hand with this? Otherwise it wont be necessary, it just makes commlinks more user friendly for us, and less user friendly for anyone else. Advanced node encryption should be enought to gicve us a time...if I make it right.

errr...TLDR imo. Ill make a brief summary to get ready...

[Kouryuu]

so the BTL are not sold?
and i hope they are not at Omar's place, for Omar's and Mouses sake.

Got my char almost worked out, need just to finalize the new things and costs.

[Sentinemodo]

Sichr - you could hire someone to repair your drone - 500 nuyen a day at skill rating 5 attribute 5 plus costs of spare parts - you roll

Kour - I'd like Snake to voice himself here (though, it's true, that it's you to hold the box initialy).

Snake, on your weekly upkeep, don't forget to the costs of BTL, with a mild addiction, you only need two shots a week. You can try to get the ones Sam is having, use the ones given to you by Taske (there are 10 pieces - worth 1500 nuyen if you sell them) or buy yourself the market ones. there are three kinds available at 50 yen each, 100 and 200. They have respectively 15, 10 and 5% chance of damaging your brain. make two rolls - if you score brain damage you enter next run with 1P for each roll below or equal the tresholds.

[Sentinemodo]

a note on Edge - it is refreshed completely

you may use Edge in downtime activities. BUT you will start the run with lesser amount

[Sentinemodo]

IDN how we would treat system and firewall upgrade...do I have to pay full price for r6 or should I just pay the difference between R5 and R6

full price, previous copy was licensed to the access_id that is/could be connected with a crime. you have later hacked it to work with new access_id. No one will buy it from you now. you can hack it further for access_id of the potential buyer. You'll get 25% of the value. remove 8 hours on looking potential buyer, selling and hacking activites.
