I'm on site. I want to be set up so I can knock down any pursuit is this viable? I'm thinking look at how the team would most likely make the escape and I'll try to disable any pursuit vehicles with the terracotta. Take aim then called shit either tires or engine block.
Goggle maps is accurate enough in the immediate vicinity to the Maths Institute (in the street view at least) so let me know where you want to set up and we can go from there!  I think the others are going to mount the final pick up from the courtyard outside the church (with the grass circle) - although this is also the 'front door' which they've specifically said they don't want to go out of - so some coordination is still required!  ::)

Okay can you link me to the ic thread.I don't see it also  do I have Amy of the teams comm codes to tell them my plans?  Also I will have my chameleon suit on.Can i make a check to see where the best vantage point to assist in taking out  pursuit would be?

If it's alright I'll be on the other side of the Castle Mills Stream at the (now) old train yards. I'll do an intro post and then leave myself open to be pinged with instructions from Mr J or the team.

Also, I don't want to start any business, but how would everyone feel about universal posting formats? Specifically if each kind of text (speech, matrix, thought, etc) was always the same color/format, that would be pretty cool, right?

Not much for the rainbow post style myself, but obviously very cool if others want to do it.

And just a big shout-out of welcomeness to Pistol and Zeth. Goodness knows we probably need more backup on the main target (although I am sure that, opposing runner team or not, Aria has some special surprises in store for the other teams as well!).

Zeth - the IC thread has a different name - it is Circles of Power, I think.

Stormy Waters is an overarching name for the campaign covering all the games Aria oversees.

Well, catch up on the IC - and keep notes!

I literally have a color-coded chart by my Mac here to help me keep track of all the runners on this job!

Thanks for the welcome, Adamu. I'm glad to be here.
I admit I'm not necessarily accustomed to the "rainbow post", but when I played a 4e PbP on another forum we simply used a format like this:
"I'm saying something."
"I'm thinking something."
<< I'm messaging someone >>
I'm explaining something out-of-character.

But I'm open to any schema Aria might arbitrate.

I'm trying to catch up on the IC now (which is what made me mention the standard formatting thing).

Yeah, if you put it in your signature people can at least have a better idea what you're doing in each post.

Snow Crash purchases - Total post count 21 (22 after most current post)
Palming lvl 2 - 6 Karma (I actually thought I already had this for hiding my Machine Pistol)

How does the purchasing work?
Concepts are great, but implementation sucks. Why not improve it?

It's covered in the initial post, every 2 posts grants 1 Karma and ¥2,000.

Right, but what about time and such?


Also did anyone happen to find out where the guest list file is?

Character Advancement
Every two IC posts you make will net you 1 karma and 2,000 nuyen.  This means a much faster progression than is normally achieved in a pbp game.  Karma and cash can usually be spent mid game (subject to your GMing agreeing), with some purchases just being retconned, some needing some IC justification.

If you are posting in multiple IC threads you can in theory allocate the karma/cash in whichever way you want.  This is mostly applicable if you are posting IC information that isn’t directly from the POV of one of your characters – in the past we’ve had JackPoint type info posts, news flashes, anything that adds flavour to the game world is perfectly acceptable!

COP
I'm currently waiting on smiley to post his actions now that he's gotten the info he's looking for. Also, did anyone else take a micro camera with them?

Something I'd like to purchase is Resonance Channel, Which I've got like 12 karma at the moment for.
