Liberty or Death OOC

This is for the OOC aspect of things. There will also be a 'Between Missions' for the progressive part of the game, and a 'IC' for actual in-mission parts, where all the spammy combat/etc goes.

Sound off, if you've apped into Liberty or Death. Approval messages will be going out tonight.

I've application'd!

BLARGH!!

G'day.

For those of you who are asking, the location is 'Tulsa City', in CAS. A medium sized megatropolis, located in the northeastern section of the former state of Oklahoma. Choosen because there are no canon aspects to it, and I'm mostly familiar with the area.

I will have a game room set up and make the host the modorator of the room when I get home. I am currently not able to make changes on the forum. I will have the ablility to do this NLT Friday.

Appreciate it, DD.

OK... Mab, Jinx, Ten, and (pending agreement) Gretel are living in the Anarcho-commune, a converted warehouse in the skummiest parts of the outskirts of town.

Group Advanced lifestyle:

• Comforts: Squatter
• Entertainment: Low
• Necessities: Low
• Neighborhood: Squatter
• Security: High

Lifestyle Qualities: Free Access +1, Perfect Roommate +2, Workplace +1, Escape Tunnel +3, Feng Shui +5, Poor Condition -1, AI In Residence -3, Ambusher's Delight -3 (Total modifier +4).
Total lifestyle cost: 4,400 + 35% (roommate costs - Bear only adds 5% since he's a free spirit and never uses anything) = 5,940 per month, split 1900(me)/1900(Ten)/1900(Gretel)/240(Jinx). 2 months paid.

Lifestyle one-time expenses: Upgraded CHN to rating 4 (5,100), purchased drones: BusyBuddy & Honda HomeSec. Holoprojector (so Tam Lin can talk to meat-people).

If my character's boyfriend gets statted up as a free sprite instead of an AI, change AI in Residence to Sprite Magnet -3. The negative effects of those qualities are focused on the other characters, who he feels are mooching off of my character.

Other stuff:

I purchased and outfitted a commlink for Ten's use:

Novatech Airwave commlink with Iris Orb OS, and FTL Matrixware Net Wizard software suite (Analyze 3, Browse 3, Command 1, Edit 2, Purge 3).

Sounding off with all the feroicity of a woman scorned.

I keep meaning to ask you about this and keep forgetting. Runner's Companion says:

Each additional person beyond the first adds 10%
to the nuyen cost of the lifestyle. It’s up to the roommates to decide
how to divide the costs amongst themselves.

We've got three people (and Bear), so it should be +10% for the second, and +10% for the third, then +5% for Bear... shouldn't that be 125%? Not 135%?

CHEESE!

H'okay. We've got one person left in the queue, and then we're on. Expect the first IC post tomorrow night, after I get my laptop. I should have the map posted by then, in the form of an interactive Excel sheet. Yes, I decided not to do the drill zoom flash or the fancy tagged interactive maps. Couldn't find a host for either.

Also, I'd like everyone to register for an Invisible Castle account. It's free, and it'll track every roll you make. I'll do the same, so you can review any rolls I make as a GM.

Fixed my essence, which should be 1.3, not 1.6. We forgot to count the Pain Editor.

I'd been counting the AI into the calculations, but Bear said I didn't have to.

So yeah, 125%, 5,500/month, 1800/1800/1800/100.

Also, Eagle, how do you feel about contact between us being made via AI assistant?

A - The Wastes -- Decades of industrial propegation along the lakes has left this area no longer viable to support life, and quite toxic. Here, lawlessness thrives, though quarantined by the Black Line.

B - The Black Line -- Heavy Knight Errant presence prevents any cross contimination with the Wastes.

C - Industrial Zone -- The muscle behind the physical aspect of Tulsa's business, the industrial zone is a conglomeration of various minor corps and subsidaries of Ares Tech. Involved mostly in minor component creation for aeronautics, and supplying the McAAP base in McAlester.

D - Government Block -- The capital of Tulsa, and the home of the government buildings such as the judiciary and other miscellaneous government functionaries.

E - Ares Technology -- Tulsa's only AAA Corp. While there are plenty of A and lower ranked corps in the city, this is Tulsa's 'golden child' corp. This is corporate territory

F - Hot Box -- Knight Errant's armory, and Ares Tech corporate property.

G - New Tulsa -- An attempt at creating an isolated paradise for the rich and the affluent. Despite the large tracts of land, very few people actually live here. The highway is forced underground at the edge of the commune to prevent any distracting noises.

H - Houston Plant Dead Zone -- A twin turbine natural gas generator that was sabotaged and exploded, lighting up oil reserves beneath the ground in a slow but steady burn for the past five years. While the plant itself is heavily guarded, the majority of the area is a lawless zone. A quarantine zone is also setup around this area much akin to the Wastes, but not nearly as solidly defined. Technically corporate property, but the devaluation has left it unclaimed and declared a toxic zone.

I - Racks - A neighborhood that has since fallen to economic hard times. It used to be housing purchased specifically for workers on the now defunct Houston Plant.


A big thanks to Durandana for taking my excel scribbles and making it awesome.

Where is our home located? Also, can we start posting on the Between Runs thread?

In chat, Book said that we'd probably be in the low (purple) section somewhere near the industrial sector.

Question: Can a minigun fit into a cello case?

First post up, in Between.

I got and idea that could be benifical to the group if you'd allow it. My character works at an orphanage. This is a very old orphanage from way back. It has a secret in its history. Back in the days of Prohibition, it was a front for a speak easy (an illegal bar and Booze Manufacturer) in below its celler with an entrance below an Antique sewing machine bolted to the floor. Its underground, dark, damp, virtually soundproof, loaded with lots of unused century old hooch, and a excellent place for many an illicit operation. Such as being a Anarchist hidout. You picking up what im putting down?

Ooh, that's a neat idea. I'm for it.

By the way, my first post is up on Between Runs. I figure Gretel's a new arrival, Rock having just helped her find new living arrangements after her previous place of residence burned down.

An anarchist group hiding out below an orphanage? That's possibly one of the least cool hideouts ever...

would it be better if there was lava?

Slightly...
