[OOC] [Shadowrun] Sprawl Stories (Accepting new players!)

[Blue Demon]

The Roman07 said "If you didnt notice, the man with the mustache is buffing." He joked towards her, still keeping his attention on the card game rather than his extremely intimidating neighbors.

I have to ask. Buffling or BLUFFING? Because I sure hope the mustache guy isn't buffing the cards. :)

[The Roman07]

Oops I meant bluffing sry :) *Reckin feckin spellcheck

[Blue Demon]

Just had to check, wasn't sure if I was missing a joke or something. Wouldn't be the first time.

[The Roman07]

Yea just as a future note my character is pretty good when it comes with logic, numbers and reason. After all that was part of his job before being a shadowrunner.

[Ollumhammersong]

How am I cannon fodder when your the one in close combat the entire time? and im safely behind a private army of you guys and drones?

Whos guns I might add, your going to be in the way of.

[Blue Demon]

I'm hopefully never in the line of fire. D:

[stickman]

@Ollum, you're cannon fodder for that exact reaction. ;) Thank you! Also, assuming the mission isn't known yet and we haven't met before you could be pretty much anything :D

Not to mention those not-so-smart concrete golems I'll be summoning :-P

Well, yes and no. Most runners are definitely looking out for number one, but they might do that in a couple of different ways. Sure you could rip off the rest of your team, but then at the very least nobody would want to work with you. At worst, you end up with a severe case of lead poisoning. There's a lot of thieves' honor in the shadows, because if you screw people over, it's not gonna stay a secret for long. And if you let the mage take a bullet instead of saving them, you might end up with an angry spirit on your hands and nobody to banish it. So you'd be looking out for number one by looking out for the rest of your team.That's assuming you get caught, of course. If you're the only one who knows how much you're gonna be paid for a run, and you keep half of it, it's not a given that somebody will find out. You might get away with it.

I know, but all that is based on respect I guess. So that would have to be earned first I assume.

[The Roman07]

Stick is seceretly looking to chop us all to pieces ;)

[Ollumhammersong]

And several drones hardwired to shoot anything attacking me, or near me, oe approaching me.

Possibly, But I define cannon fodder the exact post you gave in response to my guy, you have a sword, think your better then whoever walks in the room. and will soon realize swords and cybernetics still cant block bullets.

[Munk]

Well, with the right Adept powers and some serious reflex boosters, you might be able to deflect a bullet with your katana. But in that case it would probably just be smarter to move yourself to where the bullets aren't.

Okay, gonna do a quick introduction for Red Five, then we're on to the actual meet. The mustachioed man is gonna have everyone sit at the round table while he talks. Should I end the post at inviting them to sit with him or are y'all okay with me just assuming you all sit?

What do you mean secretly? :p

@Ollum, no hard feelings man ;)

@Munk, sounds like a plan, you could also have everybody come to the table and immediately start the briefing, whatever floats your boat.

[Ollumhammersong]

well no, once you say a katana can block a bullet, all melee weapons must them be allowed to block bullets. That has nothing to do with weapon design, simply the speed and reflexes of the owner. And without the most advanced and expensive cybernetics,(talking 100,000+) I don't see how that is possible. Bullets move way to fast.

Yeah, true. I was thinking in terms of game mechanics, in which a lucky dice roll would probably let an Adept chop successfully at a bullet. It does require a blade sturdy enough to withstand one, though.

[Ollumhammersong]

and adept, or an insanely rich indivual are probably the only people to have a chance at perfomring that task.

[Munk]

Yup. That's something you better only attempt in a high-powered campaign. Otherwise you might just find yourself with a new hole in your body.

[Blue Demon]

Munk said Should I end the post at inviting them to sit with him or are y'all okay with me just assuming you all sit?

I'm okay with that assumption. It's what my character is going to do anyways

[stickman]

I rather like my body with the holes that it came with, so no bullet slicing for me, 'kay? Wasn't really planning on it either, figured this wasn't an anime RP ;)

@Ollum, the wired reflex system and the muscle replacements should partially keep me out of harms way though. But I didn't want to start an argument. So sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my aim here.

Now let's get rolling

[Ollumhammersong]

They can do a partial job true, turn full centered on hits into less so, or grazing wounds.

Im not really offended. Its was just out of the two characters, the full on melee guy calling the nerd with the pedovan command center cannon fodder was strange. But your character doesn't really know, and I realize that. but your character either isn't getting a ride in the rapevan, or is getting the most feared ride int he rapevan.
