Re: The Caboose (OOC Thread)

No one in the know (PC or NPC) has cared to inform my character so far that something is happening.

It's not like he didn't try. He went to the Battalion looking for work. Maybe he should invite Artemis home, so they can wait for a phone call there. It would be a bit dodgy ("Wanna come home with me. I can show you my - phone") but it might work.

I know you guys love gritty gaming - but I think gritty gaming can get in the way of getting started. During character generation, I asked Mister Green if I should spend my money on a cell phone rather than on armor to facilitate contacting the character. He said that wasn't necessary.

Now a month into the game, my character still is unemployed and I deeply regret not buying the phone.

Re: The Caboose (OOC Thread)

Well a week and a half ago RL time Artemis mentioned out of the blue that she'd gotten a job while sitting at the Battalion with Badge and Riot there.  Mouse also came up saying that they could get us jobs but they took 10% for facilitating the transaction.  Riot asked Artemis about it and she said she put in a good word and if we weren't busy we might have some work.  Riot was assuming Badge was a quiet copper since he hadn't said anything yet and you hadn't made any posts regarding it.

Mister Green asked how the three of us were going to the meet in the OOC, which kinda reinforced to me that all three of us were going, and I mentioned Tram since Artemis mentioned that as a default method of moving around for her.  We didn't get down the the 'gritty' of saying we got up and walked to the tram and got on the tram after paying our quarter eurodollar initial drop (or used a pass) and rode the tram to the location to get off the tram and walk up to where the meet was, that was kinda glossed over via OOC.

So sure, no offense meant, if Badge just watched the entire conversation and just let Artemis and Riot leave without following them or asking questions...then yeah Badge would be unemployed, sitting alone in the Battalion.

Want to apologize to all. I take Badge feeling unwelcome on me. And if anyone feels I have not responded to you, don't hesitate to PM and nudge me.

Artemis:
So, to clarify, is it cool to show up? Is Riot/Badge invited in for this one? I'm not 100% sure.


I was, in fact, going to invite you (and them) myself but the phone thing was an unexpected hurdle.

It'll be no less amusing now that we're there and Prodigy has no easy way to talk to Riot since he's got no cell and no head radio to listen in and/or talk back.

Re: The Caboose (OOC Thread)

The ironic part is I seem to run into this problem every time I get a chance to play 2020 any more but when we played it back in the Olden Days (aka the '80s) we always bought phones because the idea of being able to communicate that easily was just amazing to us.

What? You had players who bought phones instead of 10kg of plastique? ;)

Yeah back in those days we skipped the phones for head phones or like Artemis said...more dakka & boom.

Reminder, Reputation is the only way to know who another player is and everyone started with 0. Some have 1 REP. It's a D10 roll you gotta roll equal or less than their Rep.

So assume that the info shared by Artemis and Riot came from Killroy who knows them both.

Anyone waiting for more information for me? I think I provided all the information available to you at this time.  Or what's the plan?

I think so, but figure it's best to double check.

Re: The Caboose (OOC Thread)

Riot:
The argument seemed to him be a waste.  The money, whatever they were going to get, was going to come through Prodigy so she had the final call on things.  If she wanted to be anything from efficient to inefficient it was ultimately her decision.  His argument of being on 'spec' was often what any job was.  Do it and then get paid.  Only if you were actually well known and regarded would any face put up funds before the job even began.  After another look at Killroy up and down he came to the conclusion that Killroy hadn't been laid in some time and nodded sagely it seemed to Rips suggestion before his brow furled as if his ears were coming up to speed with what had been said and needed more thought.


Either say this sort of crap out loud or keep it to yourself. I can do without the psychic insult nonsense.

If your character is willing to do field work under the direction of a teenager with no applicable skills or experience for that sort of thing, and who cannot communicate directly with several members of the team, that it his business. Killroy is not.

Especially when there is a Corp and a Fixer present who are far more qualified.

Hell even agreeing to work in a situation where we can only get paid via one person is a lark that makes no sense to me.

Re: The Caboose (OOC Thread)

I'll note a few things.

The initial call went to Gargoyle (the other fixer who had life interrupt things), I Errata'd that to Prodigy (random die roll for the original PC's). Prodigy has fallen into the "unofficial" team lead due to this and their being the more active ones making decisions.

The meeting that the job was offically offered to included Prodigy, SalaryMan, Phoenix & Overrider (though they have gone MIA too due to life but were at the offering).


Lastly this being cyberpunk things can get testy but lets remember you guys are on the same "team" (unless you possibly sold yourself to the enemy).
