Nope. /dev/grrl and Fastjack do all the work. Clockwork just chimes in, letting everyone know he's still alive, and crazy.
I love how people miss the obvious.  ;D

*sigh* You are becoming a True Freelancer, CanRay. ;D

What's he's trying to point out is the Login screen where the person's rep score is in the toilet and their current abode is being breached by drones. (Which, I might add, Netcat is very adept at piloting from a glance at her stats.)

Yes, we already figured the rep screen was Clockwork's for that one.

*sigh* I meant more recent than that I figured it was Clockwork getting rolled in another thread (the official one iirc).

Nah, I've always been a jerk.  :P

Which is why missing it when you were looking is all the better!  ;D

Nothing yet, but give it another gear book and we'll likely find out how he sold the Megas something else that kills a lot of 'runners dead.  ;)

I will laugh like hell if Clockwork turns out to be a Dissonant technomancer.

Seconded. Include Agents and Bound Spirits for more votes!

Still not seeing it, Clockwork has 4 comments throughout the book. Besides the "piggy bank" one they were all fairly tame. Is that what you were getting at? He got shot and the drugs are taking him to his happy place?

Or he got shot and the clinic he went to happened to add a little something extra to the mix. Buzz.

The JackPoint splash screen is heavily implied to be his (*Cough-Cough*).  He's on the run and still running, which is why he's reviewing the Safehouses file.

And, yes, his low rep score on JackPoint has come back to bite him in the ass as no one is helping him in his time of need.

Shouldn't have threatened the kid.

Yes, I'm pretty sure we figured that. I was wondering about the data erasure that took place. I can't seem to find it, however, I haven't finished Corporate Intrigue or Jet Set yet.

I like how a bunch of people dropped him as a contact.

I've always wondered which Jackpoint users page was which in the books, I'd always figured they were the person reading the books page.

Now I'm curious who's pages are what.

Also, which book does he make the threat in?  I've only read the 2070 and 2071 based books so far, so I'm wondering how many more I have to read to get to the 'well, he just fragged his rep' part (buying and reading the books in order).

Well, anything from about...4A and on is '74 ish. It's in the Street Legends Suppliement, in his write up of Slamm-O! right after he pulls a "Cool Story, U Mad Bro?" by literally telling him "Good job on finding all that stuff," and not rising up to any bait. Clock threatened the kid and Fastjack warned him off. Clockwork's MAIN drop in popularity was during the Emergence book, after he tried to turn Netkat in for bounty money.

No, Fastjack didn't warn him off. Netcat said that if he touched her kid, she'd kill him, and Fastjack said "Ditto."
