@DireRadiant
Does Jenever know who Billy is? I will post a description of my characters contacts a little later today. Just let me know if that fits the picture you might already have made.

Billy is one of Vegas's girls.

@DireRadiant should I roll a Magical Threats Knowledge Check after looking at the attachments sent by Amy Trinkets?

Yes, if nothing else I will find out if this is a Street or Professional Knowledge skill. :)

@Necrogigas 2Fresh is obviously waaaay out of his depth. One of his jobs, often secondary is to actually "protect" his stable. He's also a street pimp, he's called you in because he knows he is waaaay out of his depth. To save some back and forth on posts, you can determine very quickly that 2Fresh knows nothing about what happened. It was Linda's day off, and the apartment complex security is built for "discretion". 2Fresh was actually coming over to chill out in addition to bringing over a few hits of various drugs popular with clients.

I'm on Eastern Time.

I thought it'd be an Academic Skill for Saint, but I can see it being a Street Knowledge skill too. I'll roll it as an Academic.


Which reminds me: I haven't updated his sheet with the details of his Lifestyles. D'oh, and starter money.

(Starter money roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3683495/
13 x 50 = 650 nuyen in the bank
+2850
-285 tithe)

(Magical Threats roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3683495/ - 2 hits)

Signature has a link to Saint.

I'm in eastern time.

Carlson is a member of the Armadillos. The Armadillos often attempt to Hack anything they can.

Ok. presumably I'd know that and so it would be dumb to ask for a file on him. Can I get the Armadillos to work up profiles on all of the 405s that were at the bar by the meeting with the rest of the group at noon? I'm especially interested in the person who was in charge of that particular set. My hope is that dealing with a sub-leader before things get too out of hand will be easier than letting things percolate up to the OGs at the top.

Specifically I'm thinking we can break into his house and negotiate with/intimidate him into calling things even. Someone tried to hack his people. He crashed the system and dump-shocked "my" whole crew. Lets move past this. I'm thinking if we can have that conversation privately (so it isn't another challenge that he has to respond to publicly) he would be easier to convince to let things go.
If anyone has thoughts about the plan that they'd rather discuss out of character (like "that's the dumbest plan ever my character would storm out of the room thinking Jack's trying to get everyone killed", or "there's no way it can work and my character wouldn't know that but Jack should") feel free to let me know. That goes double for Direradiant!

My next IC post will probably be the Sunday meeting. If I'm reading the time stamps correctly, everyone should be able to make it. More to the point, since the GM said nothing key will happen right away, I can move the time around a bit to make sure everyone can make it. IC Jack wants to move on this issue quickly before it escalates, and is unlikely to take other work while this needs to be done, but I think it would be more fun to RP the meet with everyone there. He won't resent anyone who doesn't show up/help but he will definitely appreciate anyone who does.

Oh, and Jack might or might not think of this, but Mr. Smith could probably do his negotiating through a holo projector - which would take the danger out of things for Smith and maybe make him more agreeable to take on the job.

What Smith would know from the discussion, and everyone else would probably find out at the meeting, is that the 700 isn't per person, it's total. He picked the number because it divides by 7 evenly. He's mostly hoping for some help keeping an eye on things at the armadillo for a few hours a day for the next few days - not support for an attack on the 405s or anything, but he set the meeting for the following day so he could discuss the details with Smith.

I'll edit my post then to smooth over the transition for my character.

@DireRadiant
I've also added descriptions of my lifestyles to my character sheet.

Actually, depending on what Zeke says, Benny may not be available on Sunday (heck, he may not even be alive on Sunday).

DireRadiant,
Since I have day job and in debt with the Armadillos I'm wondering if a) the money I shell out to recruit other players can count toward my debt b) does the time I spend on this job count toward my day job and c) when do I get paid?
None of the answers will change my IC post, but I figured I should check.
Also could I add the rad pad and security conscious lifestyle qualities by Tuesday? Maybe with the unsound quality to represent the hasty construction?

Thanks

Gaius

I could also post my reaction for Sunday. But I would need to know whether or not my surveillance job will be done by then or not.



Since it looks like everyone of you is settled somewhere in North America I guess you are all English native speakers. Therefore I hope my English doesn't bother you to much when you read my posts.

 Your English is fine. I didn't realize you're not a native speaker. Makes me a little ashamed that I'm barely literate in the one other language I know at all.

@ DireRadiant I just noticed you've started posting 2Fresh's timestamps as 10.02, when it should still be 10.01

In the IC posts, wrap dice rolls/ test requests in a spoiler tag at the bottom of the post.

Quote from: bmoham
intuition 4 +perception 4 =2 bought hits to have gotten a read on the guy in charge based on the interactions Jack saw in the bar
Judge Intentions = INT + CHA, which only gets you one hit. Still enough to tell you that the 405 Hell Hounds weren't that interested in trashing the place, they could have done it easily enough the same evening. They had more fun scaring everyone. This doesn't mean they might not come back later.

Quote from: bmoham
Intuition 4 + Seattle street gang knowledge 4=2 bought hits to know the guys rep or more generally how this sort of things has been done in the past.
The 405 Hell Hounds are a thrill/violence seeking gang. An example of what may happen to your establishment is that The Armadillo may become a target location for a Hazing ritual. Newer or wannabe small groups of 405 Hell Hounds may be sent through "enemy" territory with the goal of trashing The Armadillo.

Quote from: bmoham
Any info the other Armadillos can put together [jack would have data-search 4 + browse 6 + hot sim 2 + feng shui 3 =15 dice on an extended test to dig up information alone, and if his agent assists him it  would net another die.- presumably there are others who are at least as good or better and they could cooperate to get 20+ dice easily]
The 405 Hell Hounds have been around for a long time, and have enemies. See previous OOC Post.

In Debt is always paid of with Karma. You can claim the money you pay for help is to pay off your debt, but then The Armadillo may claim you owe more for not stopping the damage to begin with. Not fair, but that's what being In Debt is like. Go ahead and change your lifestyle if you want.
