People just need to start posting. I'm waiting on everyone else for things to move forward at the Armadillo, and I'm waiting on DR to post for my contact 2Fresh.

Not sure what you're waiting on for things to move forward at the armadillo. I think we've pretty much figured out that this is in your character's hands right now. We could do a series of back and for posts as we try to balance our characters' respective egos, knowledge, and talents to get to where we need to but I'd just as soon move on.

I prefer to wait, and give everyone a chance to respond to my post before posting again, but if it'll get things moving again...

I don't know if I did it right. Saint is... earnest, and he's a little scared though he  may not show it. He's covering his hoop, and everyone else's because it keeps his hoop whole. That's why he had to work it out "intuitively" and less logically.

Hence the longer than necessary speech. It's an idea and a feeling and he opens his mouth in a stream-of-consciousness manner.

He's not trying to be hard or a badass.

[Necrogigas]

We seem to have lost our GM.

[WhackedMaki]

Yes indeed. Wonder what has happened to him.

[Ethan]

I hope it's nothing dire. 

[Necrogigas]

I hope it's nothing dire. 

YEEAAAAHH

[Gaius]

I hope it's nothing dire. 

me too

Necrogigas, Delaney agrees to the meet on Reeds terms. If you want, you can post the initial meet setup, Delaney and his allowed rep will arrive after you and the armadillo rep do.

Everyone, let me know if you are doing anything prior to the meet with Delaney.

I'll get another cycle of posts, events etc for everyone this week.

Also let me know if there are any more outstanding questions or items you need from me.

Gaius, just a quick note Reed is my character's real surname, and hasn't shared it with the group yet. He's still just Smith to everyone.

[Gaius]

oh, sorry. I`ll change this

I don't think Jack would suggest this, but allowing Junior to become a customer of software and hacking services from the armadillo could work. Like a loyalty 1 contact for Junior. Jack would probably have to work as a middle man - the other Armadillos seem a bit flighty. Even without any special discount, the availability ratings on a lot of the stuff they can get/do is high enough that it would be valuable.

I wasn't sure whether to edit my post or do a new one for the same time. So I edited the post.

This brings up a point. Whatever we as players may think we know, it is our characters knowledge and skills that are being used.

If Mr Smith thinks IC that Plan X is appropriate, and Mr Smith has the requisite skills and experience, no matter how silly the notion may appear to us as Players, Plan X will in fact be appropriate, and the GM will make it happen that way. I am only choosing Mr Smith to demonstrate here.

When comparing character plan merits, you may look at their respective Character skills as a baseline to evaluate.

Sometimes it may appear to be a challenge to the Player and GM, but that's the fun of it. Gives us an opportunity for a cool story to explain why some whacky idea actually works.

Direradiant. What are your thoughts on how intimidate and diplomacy interact? Assuming we roleplay it that way, can Jack's intimidation help with Smith's negotiating? It seems like a good cop/bad cop routine could be very effective here (with me making an intimidate roll to add dice to the final negotiation).

Exile is staying at the bar, just so everyone knows. Don't feel it's worth making an IC post though, as he said he would earlier. Just letting everyone know I'm still keeping track of things.
