Also snow, who is that negotiation test for? The group? Also I thought the rule of six was for edge only, not just standard tests...

Sorry, I accidently made it a negotiation test for the group but it should have been a leadership test. I've made the change in my posting. As for the rule of six, I'm honestly not too sure. I probably read it wrong but I thought it was GM's call (aka house rule) as well as a part of edge. Again, bare with me... It is my first time playing SR4

And back to the negotiation test aka should have been a leadership test it was specifically for the "no firearms" portion of dialogue and NOT the location portion. I'm just trying to play this ex-cop in character. And coincidently it's also my first time playing a socially skilled character as well.

And please feel free to tell me... "What are you stupid or something?! You're totally doing that all wrong!!!" 

I really don't mind. And it's probably the only way I will learn quickly!

Ok, Thanks, you don't normally have to roll against other characters, it's unfortunately up to them how they react. When rolling a skill, clarify why you are using it in the roll, like:
Leadership -> disarm for meeting
It will help later on, and allows me to tailor the responses to better fit what you were trying to do.

Also sorry for shooting down Voodoo's Hacking attempt, The trace was fine, but past that you would need to scan to find the hidden node, since intercepting traffic only really works on Wired connects, it specifically states you have to know where all the info is passing through and wireless connections get difficult with range.

Got it!

Thanks!!!

no worries, I haven't played a hacker in a while.

Also there is no need to Sniff, since if you tracked the node, you are literary at the gates, so Matrix perception and then Exploit is the next step, if you dont mind to be rude.
Also, from that Tracking you can also get AcessID, which is what can be used further. Matrix is a lot of fun, but not as easy to get a grip on,, take your time. no need to hurry

Anyone heard from Wretch (Winter)?

[Sichr]

he was last active yestrday so no wories. Ill IC later this evening

Gentlemen, I have one favor from you to ask. Please, look in any other PbP thread, you can find out that it is really good to separate Speech / AR messages/ Fluff
I, for myself, use only This for loud speaking This for yelling and This for AR messages, from time to time this when I want to express some internal dialogue ot thoughts. It make whole comunication much more clear

Thank you

[Forged]

There is also colour coding that you can do. For myself, plain quotes "like this" denote normal speech, I'll use green text when describing matrix locations, or text based messages you receive. During non-critical points like right now, I may not follow my rules because I think my writing is clear enough. I don't want to force people into using the same system, but if you are going to code your different communication channels, leave a guide somewhere.

I think we really need a standard way of communicating such as color coding. We should all be on the same page for sure. However, I also think we should be able to PM the GM if our character is doing something behind the groups back such as "I'm going to the store to grab some more beers" but in reality the character would go out and gather intel on a player he think is acting suspicious.

Just a thought.

[Sichr]

PMs are not a problem, Well rerad the IC text right now. Can you distinguish for the first look, what player is telling about the character, what character says to others Loud / Silent and what goes on in characters mind? Im not able to distinguish if some facts about garage are Messaga to others or just inner thoughts

[Forged]

Ok so things we need to cover

Normal descriptions
"Normal Speech"
Inner Thoughts
Matrix descriptions
"Matrix Speech"

Do we need to cove the astral?

Are quotations enough to realize someone is speaking? should chatter be bold? Should we breakdown communication channels even further?

Here are my two cents on this matter...

Well I kind of like the "Normal Speech" in blue. And not just because I just changed all my postings either The dialogue really stands out that way.

I think if someone is yelling we could do all caps simply because that's pretty universal.

As for inner thoughts, well they should stay inside and be portrayed through the characters actions. I mean how many fights have you seen where somebody tells another "I'm going to punch you in the face and push you down" just before they punch that person in the face and push them down. That just seems a little bit theatrical to me.

Matrix in green is fine.

And astral in red seems pretty kewl but I'm open for anything since I'm just a newb

[Sichr]

+1 for that Normal speech in different colour
For inner thoughts, like you say, it doesnt happen too often (but some people like it). Anything else I can live with, well Im using Navy for speech/ARmessages in every other PbPs so Ill stick to it. we will see how that work.

Umm Sichr, who are you talking to? I don't know which contact you are talking to. Even though your text is blue I need to know who it is aimed at.
