I hate crossing Genre but look at Harry Potter. Neville Longbottom is a perfect example of this.   Here is a minor character who at the end of the series becomes the Hero of Hogwarts.  You see it all the time in long running series.

And that's the beauty about Shadowrun. Minor character posters from 20 years ago (heh, game time or IRL printed material) that have survived during all the chaos will probably have at least a JackPoint page of paydata worth posting on one subject or the other. Of course, I don't see any of them being the 'Hero of the 6th World' but that's just a matter of setting, theme, and genre

[Crimsondude]

I guess. I don't know anymore. This was a bad idea.

Anyway, Shadowrun generally seems apt for the line from The Dark Knight that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. However, the world moves pretty fast, and in the SIxth World if you live long enough the revolution might come back around full circle.

BAH!

Spoiler for the end of Loose Ends/I Am Legion/The Prestige serial in Street Legends. I assumed someone would have noticed this by now.

[spoiler]
Nadja Daviar knows about JackPoint.

It represented Rory, and she brought him closer, creating a direct link between the spy and herself, bypassing the Nadjas, the Watchers, allies at JackPoint, her connections in Argus,

[/spoiler]

Maybe this'll learn ya to read the stories.




Thomas Roxborough should almost certainly know about JackPoint. His hated ex-wife, KAM (Dr. Kristine Martin), was a guest user. I have no doubt he has people watching her 24/7.

Thomas Roxborough definitely knew about Shadowland, because he posted there at least once under the handle 'Roxy'.  Not so sure about JackPoint, because yes, he likely has people on KAM's arse and she has posted on JP.  That doesn't mean he has the computer nous to hack in though,  but knowing about it is probable.

What do you mean "Heh?" above? o.O' (must be missing something)

I did a post that just said "Heh.".  In part, because I now know the lead contender for Anonymous.  As well as why they started posting. 

Can't say anything, of course, cause Jason has FASA's old GamePolice on retainer, however.

Interesting use of plural there, Bull...

'They' is acceptable-use singular of you are specifically not identifying an individual by name or gender.

I'm a bad, bad English Major, in that I will use "they" as a neutral pronoun sometimes. 

*shrug*

Like I said, don't read too much into anything I post regarding this.  (Of course, you monkeys will anyway

[CanRay]

We really need a gender neutral pronoun.  And, I mean, it's not like English is a "Cast Iron" language where you need to combine fifty words together to name something new, like German.

Better than saying "I am a donut."

Monkeys, eh? So, you're saying that A. Nonymous is some kind of super-intelligent marmoset or a new techno-spider monkey??

[Wakshaani]

And I was about to post something off the cuff about it being some kind of Spambot.

And then I twitched when I realized that, with the blast of AI into the Matrix, it's entirely possible that there *is* a sentient Spambot AI out there now.

And now I have horrible, horrible ideas about runners being hired by an AI Johnson, going on a mission, and being rewarded by having their Commlinks filled with penis enlargement and discount drug spamverts.

And then I want it to be named "Captcha-if-You-Can".

...

I think I might have just broke something.

The mind of some future players perhaps?

We already have one. "It".

We could always restore the Middle English "ou".

Wait...  NetCat has a Techno-Kitty for a pet.

Damn, Slamm-0! really is domesticated!  House, wife, kid, pet...

See how well that works when you're dealing with Transsexuals.

Here's a hint, when you're in the gutter looking for your teeth, don't forget I told you so.
