On the Verge - OOC

My character generator may or may not be on the fritz for knowledge skill calculations, so if y'all could post a statistical mark-up of your knowledge skills for me here, it would be awesome.
New Knowledge Skill - 2 Karma
Raise Knowledge Skill - Rating Karma
Specialization - 2 (This is where it's bugging. Is this the right cost? It's giving them out for free for me, but that may be an earlier version's fuggup.)

Specializations cost 2, and I put the calculations by the category in the message I sent. Do you want moe to re-send it?

Wait! We get (L+I)*3 Karma Points for knowledge skills? That's seriously low, manz!

with 3-3 you have 18 kp which means 4 pieces of level 2 skills + one spec.

Well, as it was said before me: back to the drawing board.

That, beyond Daegann's screw up on karmagen is what has keyed the rebuild of Az.

Would be nice to have a list who is what here.
PP maybe in the first post you could ad the archetype.

Jaeger is a troll adept who follows the Warrior’s way. Abandoned by his parents as a child, he was adopted by the ork magician Greegree and his tribe of awakened orks and trolls. Trained by other adept Warriors in the tribe, Jaeger refined his abilities as both a hunter and close combat shock trooper.

Jaeger recently left the family camp to pursue a vision quest, at Greegree’s insistence. Word on the street is that Greegree is sending Jaeger to reinforce the Crimson Crush in their growing territory feud with the First Nations. Greegree is an openly outspoken member of the Ork Rights Committee and is rumored to be a racist with deep disdain for all smoothies. Some say that Greegree uses his tribe as his personal stable of mercenaries, hiring them out to the Sons of Sauron and other groups that further the goals of ork and troll supremacy.

Karmagen doesn't usually award any points for knowledge skills. Besides, you're street scum, not a fraggin' scholar.

I've made an executive decision to approve of all the character sheets once the changes I've talked to you all about have been corrected. Don't worry about changing your Knowledge skills or anything like that. Make sure you've edited your character sheets online. Karmagen is intricate and complicated, and a little tedious to maintain with this many characters. I think I've learned my lesson.

Well, I guress this is where I say which side I'm going to be on. Az is going to be working for the Crush.

Present: not sure you want us to post rolls here in the IC thread:
My Piloting roll (Reaction 2 + Pilot 4 + Car Spec 2 +1 gearhead): only 2 hits
My Etiquette Roll: (Ettiquette 3 + Cha 4): only 1 hit

9d6.hits(5), 7d6.hits(5)=[2, 6, 3, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 6], [6, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4, 4]

You can post your links to Invisible Castle at the bottom of your IC posts. Lots of rolls can be placed in

"Dawn Wolf? Doubt i have met him before, is he new to the FN?" Silver was thinking more to himself, but spoke every word out loud, he noticed that the guards have heard it.
Silver took a deep breath and went in.

So i should take that the guards ignored it?

i hoped to get some info about Dawn Wolf so Silver could act approprly in his presence.

Sorry I'm a little behind with the meeting, I have it halfway done, tomorrow I'm going to get it together.

So we have to choose sides?

Also, PP, I'd like to run the meetings script trough you first before posting if it's okay (you'll see why).

Yup.

Feel free to run that script by me, Aalith. You do have to choose sides, but there's nothing stopping you from changing allegiances later. I have most of the CC post typed up, just finishing up the description of the outside building.

Etiquette roll Carrion

1, 12d6.hits(5) → [5,2,4,6,1,4,5,4,1,6,3,1] = (4) (He wants to give a "free sample" so I think he's friendly +2 and it's advantageous for him +1 (dialog, recommendation)) If you think it's not the case, then -1-3 dice from the end.
invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3225725/

2 Same reasons:
12d6.hits(5) → [4,2,6,1,1,4,6,3,6,3,3,1] = (3)

not much at the moment.

Sorry for my absence, RL and blah blah blah. I apologize for not making you all aware of the short break I would be taking, but I don't see myself taking another in the near future. CC's IC is up - let's see those intros.

whoot first post for CC

Alright, I presume that the preliminary split is Nailz, Carrion, Asha, and Silver with the FN and Gunslinger, Azrael, and Jaeger with the CC. Be aware that allegiances may shift rapidly, and that the distinction between friend and foe may become blurred due to upcoming events. Stay tuned, chummers!

Players and their Characters:
Kouryuu.LV: Silver (Did your brain freak out when you read that? I know mine did.) Face, negotiator.

Two things
1st you can add the link to Silver, it's in my char page
2nd what is that comment about? it confuses me a bit.

Silver
Was actually playing a thought to try play both sides as a negatiator, but that depends on your approval, timing and stuff
FN would be my first choice, but not the only.

I thought about playing both sides, asked PP but he told me you have to choose a side in the beginning, but later it's gonna shift around and you may end up working for both (or neither) gangs. I think now someone hires us for a job we must do, and of course you cannot work for two parties in war at the same time (even when you negotiate, you represent one gang's interests). PP has the final saying, of course.

Also, it's interesting how dynamics worked out; our side has infiltrators and manipulators, they have the heavy hitters. Man I wouldn't want to go against the Jaeger, Gunslinger, Azrael trio...unless it's a very heated conversation

Then we have to choose our battle field well, we have the smarts to use all our skills. ambush, hacking, social skills.
If we have the task to get support for our gang we stand much better chances, the same if we need to get some other benefits.
True that in an all out full frontal battle we would have some problems, but if, for example I'm able to hack a car and crash it into them it will change the dynamic, even better when it can be a subversion so one other could lure them into an ambush. i guess we will see and it would be very fun to do something like that. You hear PP.
