That would be my guess, but maybe the GM wants to throw us a bone :p

I'll definitely want to keep the character. 

I'll have to see with the karma, maybe another spell, illusion specialisation on spellcasting, or a focus (switch my rating 3 for a rating 4 focus, if the GM is okay with letting me pay only the difference).  Or indeed, initiating.  As hermetic mage with fame, finding a group shouldn't be that much of a problem.  :)  Or keep it for something bigger.

As for the money: 7750 to Clem's loan shark, 500 to Fionn's van fund, leaves me with 41750.  I'll probably have a medical bill to get rid of the wounds I have (I'll be going to the docwagon hospital, as I have a contract with them so they have my file).

I'll think about it during the week-end.

And, actually, if I think about it, Fionn won't say anything about it but he'll forward anything from the "van fund" to the guy the van belongs to.

Also, keep in mind that it costs Karma to join a magical group - good investment, sure, but still.  Technomancers, fortunately, don't have to pay karma for their networks, which is nice considering that they're literally pure karma for advancement; I could use money to add in some rigging stuff, but as it stands I still need to get the skills for that first...  Really would have been smart of me to put some of that into chargen.

Definitely want to keep playing this character

$50,000 - $7,750 (loan) - $50 (Bet with Clem) - $50 (Bet with Clem given to Red) = $42,150

Need to know how GM wants to handle availability and all that before going into money.

As for the 8 karma, I'm just gonna hold on to that for now.

Yes, I'm definitely in. This has been a blast. :) I'm really pleased with how Crossbow was able to roll with (what I'm sure must have been) several "I can't believe they just did that" moments.

I'll deal with Sam's downtime via PM.

We will be using availability rules as written,  though I would suggest and recommend making use of the face, it is his wheelhouse, to handle negotiations.  I will allow that much, you just have to convince Torley it's worth his time.

1) Super happy this is gonna keep going!  ;D
2) How long is the in game downtime? (affects training, healing, & paying rent)
3) Will Fionn talk about giving money to the owner of the van or just do his good deed silently?

He won't say anything about it unless someone else talks to him about doing something to make things right with the van's owner.  Someone might spot him hiding the credstick in the van, though (and then he'll set the van's system to alert the owner, and only the owner, to the presence and location of the credstick).

Well then Johnny probably wouldn't think about it (he would totally contribute if the owners situation was explained to him).
Also a few side questions: Should we dump the comm's we picked up? Or keep them as like a batphone? I ask because Johnny has one. Also how would we list the case in our inventory if we wanted to keep it? And finally can we list the credstick in our inventory if we decide to keep it (probably won't now that I think about it seeing as it could be used to track us)?

Those were disposable comms, which only work for a week.

As for credsticks, their purpose is actually for anonymous transactions - you don't generally need to worry about being tracked with those.

I have to say Clem is in the same situation as Johnny: she wouldn't think about leaving money in the van but would contribute if Fionn mentioned it. I'll assume she saw him slip it in and decided to do her part :)

As far as a timeline for the downtime goes, that is really nothing I am going to just reveal to you, unless you guys are officially cementing your relationship as a team and seeking out work as a unit, then it is up to you how long your downtime is.

I have seen nothing as of yet to suggest this is the case, though, so I would be careful about making any long term plans :)

I am going to try and get the personal hardcopy contents sent out to folks this evening and begin handling what post mortem plans I have already received.

Also, I would like everyone to send me their sheets again, this time in Fastjack's character code, located at the top of the play by post forum, so that I can put them into one massive post in the beginning of this thread.

Please note, not saying whether there is or is not any occurring, but please cc me into any 'private' conversations your characters may be having by PM now that everyone has their own commlinks.

Heh, the guy's probably gonna wind up with a pretty substantial payday by his standards.  :P

O'Connor won't be contributing. He wouldn't think to leave any money and wouldn't even care enough if it was mentioned.
