Hey there. I'll be Cernex, an utter complete n00b when it comes to shadowrun, my only experience with pbp games being a silly roleplay I... well, "played" on wrestlecrap.com forums some time ago and... that's it. The results of the matches were scripted/written by members of the pbp itself and the results were usually by individual votes... however, I'm not sure if that's the way things work over here.
Also, why Shadowrun? Easy! The Sega Genesis game was AWESOME.
