I wanted to know if the erased quality would erase information connected to a fake sin I am using ?

The quality does explicitly state that the information that you would want to be burnt is erased, so I don't see any interpretation any other way.

Its even better. You dont need fake sin. Use your real one, and let everything unwanted disappear.

Stuff still gets known, even if it's not on the Matrix. Best to play it safe.

It does mean you won't need to Burn your fake SINs nearly so often, though. Just when you want to dump an alias.

I know, oldschool detectives with pen and paper notepads :)

Hell...
The worst case scenario is that you got imprissoned BEFORE your criminal record is deleted. And THEN your criminal record is deleted. smells like rotting flesh...

I know youngschool ones with the same.  You can write faster than trying to put something into a SmartPhone, and it's harder to "lose on the server" if it's on a notepad you keep organized.

Or better yet, you have a fake or two, which you use for Biz, and a real one, which you use when you're pretending to be a straight citizen.

So will it erase stuff on a fake sin so I can keep it longer ?

I would say yes, otherwise, you're not getting what you're paying for.

Yes.

Hmm. Okay then I have a question (maybe I'm just being a noob here) How do you assign a Quality to a fake SIN? To Your SIN yeah I get that, but an item you purchase?

Is that gonna cost Karma to buy the quality?

If you have the quality, it should be affecting all of your SINs, real and fake.

I just wasn't reading it that way, but I'll go with the consensus. Thanks.

Anyone else wanna chime in on this?

It specifically doesn't happen.

Quote from: Runner's Companion, pg. 97
Obviously, the eraser will preserve
any data the character wishes preserved and that is vital for her to
function in society.

The quality strictly only destroys unwanted data.
