| Feel free to speculate y'all, but I'll clarify things with the meet. CC will start when lvmises posts; if he does not do it soon, he will have to be enlisted later on.
As for hacking cars and sending them into the opposition, well, that is certainly one angle you can take. As long as you make your rolls, and it facilitates fun between both parties, then I'd certainly allow it. There may or may not be consequences for your more...outlandish actions, but I will still allow a pink-mohawk environment to thrive. | |

| Yes! Guerrilla wars! Our infiltrator adept will disguise himself as one of them and plant the seeds of discontent, Silver will convince them to betray their brethren (with those skills, he can get them to suicide bomb their own base P.S. Silver still has kinesis 4? Kouryuu.LV! Max rating is 3!) Nailz will be De Niro from taxi driver, and my char. will mess with their heads through influence and control thoughts! They won't know who can they trust and who's the enemy, who is under control and who acts out of his own will! They go paranoid and start accusing and shooting each other, then we come and crush them! :evillaugh: PP! There's no need for you anymore. It's a set match. We already won, they just don't know it yet... | |

| Because if the other side has one guy with Assenssing, he can ID the aura, and even at the low end of the threshold, tell that somebody's magically active, and for a slightly higher threshold, tell if they're an adept or magician. | |

| So? And if you question them, they may not know the secret password. The thing is with a good disguise, that you do not suspect them. Crimson Crush has very few magicians (magic is extremely rare anyway, as we all know) and I assume they don't spend they time assensing every gang member one-by-one searching for enemy adepts. You need to shift perc. first, then take an observe in detail action per person. With a gang of, I don't know, 50-60 people, that's rather difficult. Not to mention a gang is not a tightly secured corporate enclave with dual-natured security. Gangs (I think) tend to be...disorganized. | |

I noticed you used kinesis 3, I just thought you forgot to edit it out on your sheet. And I also noticed you used charisma 7 on your rolls, but your sheet says 6. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or correct the sheet. I'm not onto you or something, just thinking we should get these things in order before we start the actual game and have to rewind 10 pages because a charsheet said one thing and a player another. | |

| Well, if you astrally perceive a group of heavily-cybered thugs the single adept will stick out like a sore thumb. It's true, the groups have been stereotyped to have one side with Magic and the other with Cyber. That is part of the flavor. That doesn't mean you won't be seeing FN's with Dermal Plating and burnout mages with the CC. Their may also be another side in this fight with a totally different angle... | |

| So here's my roll to win the guards, editing later: cha5 + eti 4 + 2 from "bribe"3 sux +2 from the beer and smokes, but it's inconsistent, since my last 5 dices haven't rolled a single hit. | |

| First of all, I believe I may have mislead you all a little. I have been calling the buildings the "headquarters", when they are really the, I dunno, "official bases of operation" for work in the Verge. That's why you are meeting with the lieutenants, not the actual leaders. If you are successful with this job, you may be hired by the higher-ups for more jobs, though. I have me skeleton plots lined out. First Nations, you are ready to post for the meet. The Crimson Crush are temporarily on hold until I here from a potential player, but expect your post to be up by the weekend, regardless. I would also like to know what you guys think of my writing. Am I sounding to Victorian? Am I using too many commas? I want to facilitate the story as best as I can, and if I'm sounding confusing, then that's something I need to change. I appreciate any and all feedback. Karma may be awarded for good suggestions, challenging questions, and constructive criticism! | |

| I think your writing style is very good and the idea and the implementation is catchy. If I have to criticize something, I would say the worst thing is waiting, the time between your posts. Of course, all of us has a personal life, work, family, friends, school - and GM-ing is more time consuming then playing (and I noticed you do both), but do not write a great game, then leave us hanging in the open for days! We are thirsty for the continuation of the story, I personally want to meat with my teammates and know more about the job. | |

| Present: I think you are doing very well. I find it easy to and quite enjoyable to ready your GM posts. It is easy to tell that you put alot of work into really trying to bring the world to life and they are very detailed. I like that you put the artwork in as well, that really adds to the flavor. As far as being to victorian or to many commas I wouldn't know, I have no complaints about your writing. I am really looking forward to seeing where this leads and what developes.
The one downside has already been stated by Aalith [shakes a fist at Aalith for being several hours ahead of me in the world] and that is the time between posts. But its a trade off, we can either have quick less detailed posts or wait a little for the vivid posts (all while juggleing the hell out of real life..). Life doesn't revolve around PbP, I know.
I think i would rather wait for the vivid posts even if patience isn't a virtue i have any excess of... | |

| PP! Just for future reference: my character is dual natured, so please always assume he's checking out everybody and every place astrally. He's good at reading auras, so the least he can see is the emotional state of the various characters and if they are awakened or not and he is most likely not affected by ordinary visibility modifiers like darkness and such. He can also see spells. Please use SR4A p. 191 and StreetM p. 114. In fact, I'd like to assense my future teammates and Dawn Wolf while everybody is talking. 1 Nailz 2 Silver 3 Asha 4 D-Wolf 9d6.hits(5) → [3,1,3,4,6,3,2,1,3] = (1) 9d6.hits(5) → [3,3,2,3,3,5,2,6,3] = (2) 9d6.hits(5) → [5,1,1,5,1,1,1,3,4] = (2) 9d6.hits(5) → [5,2,6,3,5,4,4,2,3] = (3) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3251763/ | |

| Yes, I am familiar with the rules for dual-natured entities. I had forgotten that shapeshifters were dual-natured, though. As for ignoring certain perception modifiers, I will have to play it as it comes. If you want your Astral Sense to affect your Physical Sense modifiers, it could cause some funky shenanigans. For example, how would vice versa be enforced? Would it be difficult to pick somebody out of a crowd because of all the overlapping auras? I won't punish you for a trait that already has its weaknesses (Astral forms targeting), but it won't always be a get-out-of-jail-free card. Besides, you already have plenty of positive visibility modifiers as a bird, so you shouldn't have to worry about it. I would also appreciate it if next time you would note which roll is for which character through Invisible Castle. | |
