Joe Q. Public

Throwin the given goodies into her bag (hey who couldn't use more blue glass?) Renata walks toward the girl slowly trying to enjoy her pain and assess the level of threat and extimate the time it will take her to die (best case senario), then it's up to business as usual. Regardless of what anyone thinks, this young lady is now property of Renata the Knife.

"Hello, HELLO? Girlie? I am now either your best friend or your worst enemy." Smiles looking for recognition.

"I can either fix you up, or make that pain in your belly,'" smiles and points "feel like a holiday in zha Sun."

"Who ae you my little pumpkin, and more immportantly, vhy did you vant to play with my Russian boyfriend?"

looking as she walks counterclockwise around her at the boys, enjoying all this male attention (good, bad whatever) and deciding if this should be easy or hard, half listening to the gentlemen in the background talk.

The answers don't really matter to Renata after all...

...she's always wanted a pair of scratchers...

happy grin, regardless of anything that may be said.

OK folks, news flash, microchipping at birth is already an option in GA, FL, AL, and a few other states. Been that way for around 6 years.

Fingerprinting all immigrants, well considering that In the US a man has a 1 in 137 chance of doing time in prison as it stands, I don't think it's that far fetched.

As far as welfare cheats, illegals, what have you.

IF it ws a standard that no vote means no services and that everyone had to either get a real VISA or become a citizen or else end up immediately on a slow boat from where they came, This would all be cut and dry.

No Vote, no services. No schooling, police, fire, medical, nothing from a state funded source. Responsibility is a real fact and the sooner we make it black and white the sooner EVERYONE will pay attention to what is going on in this republic of Liars that we call the US.

Harsh, well let's just say that even though my mother came over in 1961 w/ her father as a new naturalized citizen, married an American, had 3 american sons, in 1984 the INS was going to deport her if SHE didn't test for immigration all those years after leaving Poland (and never going back I may add)

It's real, it's already happening, so just ask one question,

Did you vote in every election in the last years?

I killed a fellow PC by tackeling him at the top of a 3 story stairway, flying through the railing on top of him and landing w/ him as a cushion under me. After we both made it up from the Stun, I grabbed a plastic serrated Prepak knife and sawed through his neck until I hit the arteries (it took about 6 good successes and around 10 rounds).

Needless to say, that my friends, is why the character J Q Public had no problem moving from a gun fencing specialty to cyber installation and reposession...

All I can say is, My little bro (let's call him little Joe for now) plays one of those ON line RPGs locally on the BBS he freqs.

Joe, much like his older Bro, is obsessive at being the best inn competive situations and has mondo RPG experience (all forns)

Therefore Joe, who doesn't sleep much, creates massive bad@ssed characters on this BBS RPG.

Joe, also like his big Bro, is a masive capitalist, ans finds out that others would like these characters/ items for themselves

So... Little Joe Finds a way to Paypal and sells these characters (via setting up accounts and selling the passwords) to these various fools and thier money disappears into Little Joe's pockets (the last character sold for around $5000 US)

Reality, really. He told me about it around X Mas this year.

Clean clean, wash wash, flick Ivan in the face every once in a while, check up on the patients, and um...

Oh yeah, I got a few minutes where's the doprhed up girl?

I gotta bullet to rip- I mean extract out...

Hey all on the lose weight thing,

Gotta say (and if it worked for the Public, hedonist of all fine eats) that the cutting the carbohydrates things has worked WELL for me and the missus (lost around 20-30 pounds each respectively, and it's been off for around 3 months now!!!).

Try it. Not Hardcore Adtkins type but just cutting the carbs w/ fibre to get them way down.

Animals are cute BTW,

and they taste GREAT!!!!

The whole Panzerboy/ vehiclejock is a nice idea, but I fear that it may lead to some folks limiting thier characters to the wheel, for loack of a better term.

Let's start a post on this and see what sifts out, eh?

Thanks again

The Public

The variation of differing release time for differecnt tech, I've found (having been a Cthulhupunk Gm for around 12 years) is one of the things that keeps the game alive.  Since after all, if there is no room to rise up, why work hard for better stuff.

I pulled about the same guidlines adding Boomer technology (i.e Limited, non-energy weapon based BGC) at around 2034, since at this point (Started the game in 2019 game time) that was a natural progression to the full borg corporate Cthulhu corruption stream, but enough of that...

An Easy way to get this type of info is to go to various urban Home listing services. There you will find prices, floorpans, demographic info (if you look hard enough) along w/ all the little things that you can use to make your world fill out cleanly w/ the mundane details.

I do this in Chicago as a rule (having grown up in the area I know it well enough to extrapolate neighborhoods)

Cthulhu di you say? You defiantely have to talk more...

pleased at the situation (finds Ivan mildly comical even)

Renata says, "over to zha table big boy, you got zome extra holes to see to no?" then a look around for an assistant (Bennet if possible, anyone else in a pinch)

"wet rags, and some of the rubbing alcohol pleaasek. Thankyou"

Sets about busily cleaning off the blood from Ivan, decideing how much is him and how much is others, looking for obvious wounds to patch quick...

Advancement!!

It seem to be instead of using the old X10 modifier, a x 5 to any (Edges, SA's, skills) seem to be the favorite by a few votes.

So there's that one in the bag

Yet W, It still isn't (.......) but just kidding

Be more honest w/ my friends and family (old street BSing just getting too invasive in RL)

Go back to school and learn ultrasound or Physics

Start work on my kitchen

Continue to kick @ss on rule dynamics

commplete the terraforming of my backyard.

Get a legal concealed carry liscense for my state.(What a concept)

And you?

Still gotta say, as synthetics and body armour get more advance, a Willie Pete looks more Anit personell more and more every day.

Well that and the hand held flamethrower sure scare the sh!t out of just about every edgerunner I've seen in game....

Simply put, the more you dick w/ the intiative sytem the more complex it gets, the more people shimmy and b!tch, the less playing gets done.

It works fine the way it is, let it be MAN!!

Blood is made in all forms of cancellous (spongy) bone (ribs, sternum, plevis, ends of all longbones, etc) but for full on bioplod borg replacement I use metaheme, less likely to be found, but for effiecnt in the fact that it doesn't bvreak down so fast.

Oh the problems you will face if you don't have a supply of it ( i give about 3 units to a biopod, 3 month lifespan on each unit, replacement takes about 1 hours w/ machinery\)

INfo? Links? I'm sure either would be appreciated

Irritate people on Forums like this one.

Have sex w/ my wifey, work on my house, daily struggle to stay at a straight job and not go into a life of crime,

Game, game game (mostly CP-poor b@stards) thinking about playing D&D3.0,

Masturbate.

Well that about sums it up

HA HA HA HA NINA!!!

You're a year older if ya like it or Not!!!

ONe step closer to being OLD like the rest of US!!!

(but really, happy happy you little deviant!)

<SMOOCH!!!>

If the price is right and I allowed it in the campaign (which BTW I never would) I say sure, why the hell not.

GMs, you've been warned

I've seen so many little metal pucks whipped into and out of folks by now, the practice really doesn't phase me too much.

And as for surfing w/o my DNI, er... no thanks, I like typing poorly just fine...

Sure enough Mosca, I just Know that if it becomes Default, little to no players will go through the issues of building up these ancillary skils, wither in generation or play the old fashioned way.

It just let's players get away w/o paying for another skill, If ya don't wanna pay in points, get a chip socket...

OH yeah,

Neural interface and a socket full o' chips please (cuz learning Japanese and fly fishing at +3 w/o work is just too tempting!!!)

That and I would have Vid-Tattos of the ones I have aleardy.

Well as I and many others have said before, that's where good GMing and kicking the PCs in the head during character generation w/o limmits commes into play (neverr seems to be an issue where the highest amount that one can throw in a skill is 5, and then a limited # of those at that)

Just and observation, only a description....

If yer floating a high stat w/o the skill, ya still have a chance (maybe not the illterare thing) to pull it off, that's where personal style for example, become cool enough on it's own.

Everyoone deserves a chance at a nonprof. roll
