I don't think that rule change for errata is appropriate for hitting up a 100+ karma expenditure.

That said, missions DOES have a rule where you can spend some down-time 'working for the people' and converting 2000 nuyen into 1 karma point.  In missions, you can only do it once between runs and only up to a maximum of 5k/10,000n either way (opposite was 'working for the man' and trading karma for nuyen at the same exchange).

In PRACTICE, with missions netting an average of 5 karma per run and 10K nuyen per run, you are effectively able to either double your karma or your nuyen at the expense of the other.

I think a case could be made to 'work for the people' and double your karmic gains over the course of our runs.  They already can come pretty fast if you are active in the story threads.  You'd only need to make 130 IC posts.  Granted, you won't get no scratch in the meantime (probably intersperse at last some monetary gains in there) but it's something to think about.
That's just like... your opinion, man.

Here's my pilot test to crash through that RV's door, spending my third point of Edge (out of my 5 that I have).

15d6.hitsopen(5,6)=16

Holy! I made that look good!


On another note, does anyone have a running tally of how many posts (and thus karma and money gains) everyone has?

I have troubles keeping track of ammo damage and # of posts so from now on at the end of every week I'm going to add that info to my signature that way I don't have to spend an hour counting posts

Excuse my language, but holy shit! That is a lot of hits!

I have a tally for mine, but I could go check really quickly and give you a number.

Dude. All around Seattle doors just shattered, everywhere. That's how hard you hit that door.

The ramming damage was so much that everything in the car liquefied, and the Sonic Boom was so great that every who could hear it was deaf for months ..

Just kidding.

Um, I ordered the spirit to protect the kids and only attack the clowns if someone from outside the RV shot them.  ::) I really need to generalize my orders. Also, I have 11 IC posts, not 8.

Well, I was off, but I just counted again and I'm only getting 10. Regardless, if you have a count of your own, just keep it updated.

Ouch!  That is going to total your bike as well as the side of the RV!!!  For ease let's assume you are going 11-50m per turn (it could be faster if you want...??!) so that's Bod damage (5) to the RV and your bike resists half (2)...the RV isn't dodging as it's stationary so resist at 16 bod +12 armour (can't find Bison stats right now so using Bulldog, sure I'd seen Bison stats somewhere but ah well, probably moot point...) buy hits gives 7 that is still utterly demolished!  Your bike has 11D to resist 18 damage so I'm going out on a limb and suggesting it's dead too, roll if you want!

Given you've used edge and it's 'rule of cool' here I'm going to assume you managed to get clear before the ram happened but there is much mangled metal...I'm also not liquefying the occupants but they will be surprised and likely very stunned by suddenly sharing their personal space with a motorbike (or the remains of one...)

Let's hope Saithor/Alicia changes her spirit's orders and it doesn't take you to be an attacker of the children  ???  ;)

Now I just need someone else to post so I can put in my "rule of cool" part without editing or double-posting.

Action Pass 2 - Acting on Initiative 14

Simple Action - Gymnastics Test to jump off train

Quote from: 8-bit
Athletics 2 + Agility 11 - Wounds 1 = 12 dice (without any other modifiers)

Gymnastics test to get off the train: 12d6t5 2 [4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 2, 1, 5, 6]

Free Action - Run (moving 35 meters closer; assuming I used about 10 so far)
Simple Action - Sneaking Test to make myself stealthy-like

Quote from: 8-bit
Sneaking 6 + Agility 11 + Catlike 2 - Running 2 - Wounds 1 = 16 dice (without any other modifiers; I assume the ash might help me)

Sneaking Test: 16d6t5 4 [1, 6, 4, 1, 4, 4, 4, 6, 5, 2, 6, 3, 3, 1, 3, 1]

Seriously? What is up with these rolls ...

------------------------------------------

Anyway, those are my actions for the second pass. I don't have time for an IC post right now, will get one up tonight.

Ok, another brief IC, will do better promise, but I want to keep the action moving...

I am assuming that the focus is shifting to the RV, the ghouls aren't a significant threat per se, more of an annoyance...scrawny buggers!  Of course I'm not making much of the incoming team as nobody seems to be paying it much attention so far...they will trigger Alicia's spell very very soon though!  8)

Ugh, Comcast has been out all night. I'm too frustrated and tired to do an IC. It'll have to wait till tomorrow.
