Thumper

With all the systems checked and double checked Danielle and Kea are preped and ready to go on their ice capturing mission.

Mayuki jumps back into the wires and connections that make up the computer net of the Santa Maria with the hope of finding out what has gone wrong, where Maria the ships AI has dissapeared to and what force is now in control of parts of the ships computer system.

keep it up guys good work

Thats fine and dandy if you have a chat client but at work I have having to go through   http:irc.psionics.net   and use a java client and that webpage has been down.

I know it's not blocked cause i cannot reach it from home either.

Sadly probably one of the few things that hurt the game was my inability to keep a super fast pace going.  I can not reach this site from work and we are keeping insane hours due to it being a tax project during a rushed tax season.

Been unable to go online for the entire week does anyone know what the problem is or when it is going to be resolved?

Chrys??

It's based out of Ajerbaijan on the Caspian Sea and the main opposing force is Sov Oil.

Players can be from the region or possible foreign transplants.

Hopefully the one lasting player will be able to fill everyone in a little better.

Currently the remainder of the group is meeting to get together in the capital and port city Baku.

I would like to know if anyone would like to take on the names and basic areas of expertise if not the characters and stats of previous players.

Free is about as economical as it gets!

Course people can put whatever page they want as a favorite so it's not really a big deal just the opening page is a bit of eye candy.

The broadband is just an extra if ya want it!

The Easy part is getting it into html and uploaded.

The fun part is figuring out how to change my main page to jam it in there for a link somewhere.  It needed to be redown anyway ;p

what do you mean by a safe site?

I have plenty of space on my my site.

Ok, I am making another call for people whop want to try a middle eastern style Cyberpunk game and drop into a long standing game top keep it from going stiff.

Almost any kind of PC's are needed, but the requests are for those Technically inclined and those able to work with and on boats.

I would have liked to continue the game but there are serious difficulties in getting more players.

We can always try I guess as I don't want to have anyone run so many NPC's types and such and it hard to carry on from where we are.

We can attempt to give it a shot but I am not gonna hold my breath.

Well I wish you luck and I am confident you can achieve whatever you put your mind to!

Will have a solo team out to you ASAP!  Well as soon as you can verify you have enough credit to pay em off with.

But seriously, I don't recognize that file nomenclature.  Please explain more.

There are gobs of free stuff online to use also.

For instance check my site out!  Shameless plug

Whoa there!  before spouting incorrect nonsense you need to get a grasp of reality and do a little thought for yourself instead of letting other people fill your head with their crud.

You would soon find that everything you have said in this post is exactly wrong.  Spout back if you will butI am sure someone else with far much more free time can pick apart the rant here and explain the facts to you.

Yes Artwork is needed so are nice Photographs.

Bullet I think it's time to either put up or shut up or I will send someone over there to get you

PS all drawings, articles and or Photos should be original or non copyright material as the Editor does not wish to spend time behind bars

I would like to thank the few people that bothered to buy a printed version of Cyber City or a PDF.

Sometime near the end of 2004 I will be making the first update in PDF form for free download for those that have purchased a copy of Cyber City.

So far it looks good as it's still only Jan of 04 and I have like around 20 pages of new material.

Let's keep it coming guys and gals!

I think it probably is since you are the only player left that is playing.  Fix and GM 2023 are very busy with other things in their lives and seldom show up on the board anymore.

Quite a bit of confusion as to what everyone should be doing is brewing with the crew.  Without a strong leadership figure or central authority each person seems to be going their own way while doing what they think must be the best course of action to take during the current turmoil.

Kea and Dannielle are all set to take the OTV back out to shovel if they have to more ice into the cargo hold.

most of the others are still in some sort of shock or recoving from a long slumber in cryo-stasis or due to head injury.

Matti Järvi the medtech and biologist is nowhere to be seen or found though he last said that the Air scrubbers where once again working.  Now he seems to have disappeared altogether.

Chaos Reigns as time slips away to harvest what materials the crew of Santa Maria might need from there only close celestrial body moves ever farther from their current heading!

where oh where have the players gone oh where oh where can they be???

Well I intend to nudge this along if people don't take some independant action on their own.

I have already seen the chipping service advetised over here!  Something for Paranoid parents to do to their unruly teens!  But it lets you track them and where they are with some cell phone technology!

Really should be illegal but if your under 18 you have few rights

Yes it's that time again!  Well actually quite a bit past that time as Edgerunner was supposed to come out at the end of last year.

We need your minds, fingers and imagination to come up with some Cyberpunk material for Edgerunner Fan-Zine.

What you say you have no fresh ideas and are stumped what to come up with!

Well please feel free to take a chunk from the Apo-Stasis project chop it down to a manageable size and present two or three of the most popular variations or sides of the arguement for Edgerunner.

You may contact either me here by pm or Chrysalis.

And thank you for your support

Cyber City Downtown Underground

The downtown area has a vast network of underground tunnels that serve various purposes.  In the underground there is everything from small sandwich shops, electronics stores, service/steam tunnels and other places of interest.  A vast network of pedestrian tunnels spanning over 15 kilometers of total distance links Office buildings vehicle garages, Theatres, and governemtn buildings.  Not all of the tunnels are interconnected together with the rest.  In fact the primary hub where most of the tunnels meet and intersect is underneath the huge Phipp's building.  Almost an entire shopping mall worth of stores and restaurants can be found there.

The downtown underground is just one link in a system that allows the Movers to work downtown, shop and be otherwise entertained in the Metropolitan area without having to come in contact with the colorful street or criminal element on the street level.  The system of tunnels, passages and shops arrangement is haphazard at best.  The passageways snake from skyscraper to skyscraper in a spiderweb like pattern with the larger open space being at the basement level of each building.  

The underground system is in shape and form very similar to what on would find in a natural cavern setting.  The underground system has many weird angles, long thin passages, and frequent large open spaces directly under major buildings.  Were it not for the frequency of maps and color coded marker arrows an uninitiated traveler could easily get lost in the passageways.  

Each section of the underground differs with its tunnels.  The long tunnels that connect the empty spaces between shops and other buildings range from thin 1.5 meter wide to those wide enough to house shops on either side plus a wide corridor of 3 meters or so.  The layout for the tunnels construction various also as differing section were created at different times.  Some of the tunnels have steps and handicap ramps while the thinner ones sometime only have steps.

Along the most traveled tunnels, primarily the ones that form a small loop a electric passenger train system is available.  The train system is fully automated and contained on it's tracks stopping only at platforms where riders are waiting.  A low Concrete wall separates the train from the rest of the pedestrian tunnel system to reduce the possibility of accidents.  The trains are small with only two cars each enough to have twenty seated passengers and up to ten more standing.  The whole system moves along at a leisurely twenty five kilometers per hour, fast enough to be worthwhile to use but still not fast enough so you could outpace most perusers.

One of the first things visitors notice is that the tunnel network and shops are semi inhospitable for casual visitors and tourists.  Very few places have restrooms and even the places that do have public restrooms like the mall require a small charge .5 Euro for use, either by coin or electronic means via a reader on the outside door.  It was originally envisioned that primarily local office works would use the underground and would have access back in their offices

The main flaw with the tunnel system is the seepage of water during severe rain storms.  Many times it is only a slight inconvenience to the people using the tunnels but other times when and extended length storm system stays in the area the entire underground can become flooded.  Several times in the last few years all the underground has flooded so much that for days at a time they were only passable with scuba gear.

Shops and Stores:

The many shops and eateries found in the underground tend towards a specific repeating pattern.  At every loop there repeats a certain set of shops and even brand name food places.  Each loop contains a print & graphics shop, a convienance store, and some type of automated kiosk center.  The kiosk centers house everything from vid rentals, online banking to prepared prepackaged lunches.  Types of stores range from drycleaners, barbershops, jewelry stores, shoe shine/repair and all the other minor conveniences a Corp executive might need.  Some of the most frequently recurring stores are Robo-Burger franchises which litterally are jammed into all the small nooks and crannies throughout the underground.

Security:

Security in the underground is rather tight and restrictive since Arasaka security forces run the downtown area.  All entrances are guarded in some way to keep out the undesirable elements in society.  Security procedures run from simple camera emplacements with magnetic cardlock doors to actual armed security checkpoints near the mall entrances at the Phi's building.  Cardlock security is not all that tight and is mainly designed just to keep out the street people.  Anyone looking out of place just after entering will normally by spotted by Arasaka security agents who will then either escort them back out to the street  level where they belong or detain them for questioning.

Reasons for being kicked out are mostly due to poor dress, meaning street trash that does not belong, according to Arasaka.  Detainment normally occurs due to weapon or visible armor code violation.  Can

't have rank amateur edgerunners shooting up some Corporates.

All of the office works in the area have badges that will let them pass into the underground and therefore they are not very difficult to either steal or fake ( diff 15 ).

Pictures will follow when the official version makes it into the next Cyber City Update

And who said play RPG's would never get you anything!

I had heard of this but who is to say some programmers won't find a good way to cheat the system to make some money off these idiots.

Ok just for a few laughs some short fils from a Professor at the college I graduated from.

The first one is sure ( ) to become a Cyberpunk Classic known as The Hitman

http://s92539516.onlinehome.us/thehitman.html

The second is a short I thought would never quite make it out.  The comedy classic on how to go through life as a college male.  You just slide by with a C average.

I appear in the bottom left hand corner sitting on the couch.

Now you can see what type of strange Profs would sanction and be an advisor to a Gaming club.

Enjoy if you can

Some real tall orders this year!

Secure a permanent job paying at least or more than what I am getting now.

Meet the love of my life.
