OK, the two threads things sounds good. I'll start the Game Thread after i write this then edit in the link.

Nice work on the links to Kenada guys! Although i didn't actually mean for you to fill in the links with him they work very well.

Just before i go get started on the story i'll sort out your special abilities Xango. In Cyberpunk each class has it's own special ability that only they can use. You've actually picked about four skills from that list but should have one (even though some of them should be more transferable others are more paowerful than regular skills). So stick with the the Private Eye class and use their class skill Research. Swap Spy Craft for Surviellance, Chameleon for Disguise (and back it up with a bit of Acting) and Barter for Haggle (though if you don't read the skill description Barter sounds exactly like Haggle anyway).

Then you can stay as the PI type with the same skill set and not somehow have 4 special skills. It will probably work out well to have your skills in the group, instead of swapping for Drive and Endurance.

I meant to mention this earlier but whatever, now is good.

The format i used is to write out the blurb for you and put asterixs in at places where you can RP out a bit of the story.

One * is for simple stuff, mostly just flavour.

Two ** is where you can role out something more significant.

Three *** in this case is the end of the section but in future will be the point where you can make a significant contribution to the plot and story.

Hopefully noone RPs something that is completely off the path i had intended but we can discuss here what to do if that does happen.

I'll also give relevant info in this thread that applies to the asterixs.

READ THE BELOW AFTER READING THE GAME POST!

For example,(highlight text to read) the clubbing girls/punters are up to ATTR 8 and only interested in the more attractive players, they're shallow and lets face it, fuglies score less.

The DJ is a Nomad but he's not military or anything. The music is going off.

The bouncer at the VIP door is a good guy, don't try fight him, he's dangerous too.

The two **, make your RPed intro here, big yourselves up if you want, pose, show off or just be mysterious. We should be able to have some fun with this and build some relationships.

The *** is a scene change but you can probably RP some stuff here without derailing the plot. The van has windows closed and tinted, the driver will just say 'get in back' if you look thru the windscreen. Back of the van has no windows, should have said in the game thread.

I'll leave this for people to make some replies to then add the next part.

Hope you'll like it.

Got it!

When making the RP posts, in response to **'s, just use the last relevant paragraph in a quote. it will make things easier to see who's saying what and keep things tidier.

Skills are in, Also yes was a celestial guard, stripped of name and rank, then discharged from the wu ming after having served a pre-determained sentance of 25 years.

^_^ sorry that took so long!

You guys can decide if any of you are connected though i wouldn't think you were. Loki is basically filling a Netrunner role (with some combat) while, except for the PI everyone else is pure military.

I can't remember from the fluff if things like neural interface plugs or direct net interface exist in Infinity. Obviously Hackers can interface but the models all seem to do it via holograms but that is probably a concession to more interesting models.

None of you guys will actually know if Loki has connected* except that he might be a bit less conversational but he might be quiet anyway and having ai processing power could easily multitask, so it could go either way. *because his 'cyberdeck' is intergrated, you wouldn't even realise ha had one.

Also, Gus, 'angelic' and ATTR 4 are a bit at odds...

Now, off to write the second episode...

Ok, it's done.

I want to change the format a little bit. Instead of me putting **'s around the entry, you guys can just pick a bit, quote it then make the RP response to it. That way it's to you what you want to respond to and hopefully you'll find things i didn't think of to expand.

This section is going to be pretty intense i imagine as you've got a heap of work ahead of you and only a week. So we'll ba having a few discussions like "I'm going to go do xxx, what do i find out/ what happens, etc" and i'll be filling you in.

Of course for things that wont effect the plot you can go hard. AG, spending that first 10k you have. As long as you aren't going after realaly rare or powerful stuff you shouldn't have too much trouble getting it. Afterall, you can ask your contact, Kenada to hook you up. One of you should buy a bomb that will go off and look 'accidental'.

Those two guards, you all know enough about Pan O troops to guess they are probably Crocs. They didn't have any of their TO gear on them though.

Not sure what else i can tell you at the moment, the balls with you guys, so run with it. Feel free to have a players discussion or something and plan the action. You can always consider it discussion in the VIP room.

If your employer is a LHost or Aleph agent, she seems unconcerned that Loki is also a LHost.

I min / maxed him some more... dropped some scores even lower to get the appearance up.

Will have to adjust the skills to work Interface in as well.

You don't need to min/max anymore, it's already extreme enough. I was just poking fun at your adjectives.

Do get Interface though.

Before I start posting, we should define the "times" of posting.
I'd like to write something about the first post but, my bad, i didn't have enough time, and the story is going ahead (the second Palocles's post).
So... did i just lost my opportunity to act in the first post? Do i have "now" the chance to write something even if the story is flown?
Situations like this will come again, and possibly with some problems too as if the master goes ahead, and a PC wanted to act and those actions would cause a change in "something" important.

The options (IMHO) are:
- when the master posts it's history, pc MUST post before him;
- the master waits "at least" one post from each PC and than goes on;

What do you think about, mates?

I'd post the following amendment, the master gives each player 48 hours to respond to his post. After that time we can move on.

at the begining, someone mentioned 2 posts a week, i think this is great for the master, this gives him time to respond and plan, and to us, time to edit or change, like angus, the master can post tuesday and sunday for example, just an idea.
