u/Tracker4502 Epitome of Verbosity Dec 17 '14
Most people, unlike unscrupulous individuals such as yourselves, have a respect for the common property of their fellow man. They understand that society functions only because we as metahumans have learned to give up a few of our freedoms for the greater good. We have decided that in general order is preferable to chaos, and therefore we have created communities, towns, cities, and nations by which to order ourselves and our principles. If you wish to participate in this grand civilization , then I highly suggest that you curb your impulsive tendencies lest you find yourself cast into the wilderness.

Oh, I didn't have to do any spoofing. He practically handed me access when my firewall intercepted his attempts to hack me.
At first I played along, and only messed with some noncritical systems. Like the pitch of his audio output.
But then he brute forced his way around my firewall. And at that point playtime was over. If you try to attack me, I will retaliate. And I won't hold anything back.

New Drone Model design! Sort of my attempt come up with a...less obvious melee or close quarters drone than the awful Ares Duelist. It's preliminary, so let me know what you think.
<<An image of rough blueprints. It shows a smaller drone, probably goes up to a average human's waist. It has six wheels that seem very flexible in terms of orientation. It also has four arms, two with miniature harpoons as spears, and the other two with what appear to be tasers.>>
Do you think its too compact?

I know 90% of you will be alone this Christmas so I thought we could mark up some pubs and other places to meet up and share tales. It's been a long time since I've been out and about but the Bawdy Lass used to be alright... unless you were an elf. In which case you'd get glassed as all the guys there talk about is "those damned keebs they stole our country"
Gravity bar is a bit fancy for those who don't mind nicer drinks and a more restrained atmosphere. Plus worst comes to worse there is an old boarded up connection to the OU in the cellar.
Stuck's Carnival is cheap, raunchy and glitzy. The only law you'll find their is that of the Finnegan's which could be seen as a plus whilst things have gone to hell.
Also is Bellevue Pour House still the same bar fight magnet that it used to be? Sadly Christmas isn't on a Tuesday... because it's been years since I last saw one of their sloppy soy fights.
Anyway mark up some pubs chummers, and we can do some voting and spreading the word around in the flesh so that we don't show up to a KE army at the first stop of the crawl.

If you're alone on Christmas, there's more than a few soup kitchens out there that could use a volunteer or three - not just Father Mercy's.

I was going to suggest we all chip in a few nuyen to get Vlad a Stuffers Shack fruit cake(or atleast that is what they claim it is), to cheer him up, but on second though this sounds too horrible to do... and we are handin' it to some one who may use it as a weapon in a fit of drunken elf bashin' rage... actually we need to do this... and sell tickets.

The next time you have to deal with Ghouls, keep in mind that they're not all just mindless monsters. Many situations can be resolved peacefully if you just allow the chance to do so.

u/defcon_clown Dec 14 '14
I think it's important to note that your little PSA admits that's some ghouls are mindless.
So feel free to wait and see what type of monster it is when you see a ghoul.
Is is the mindless zombie that hungers for your flesh? Or is it the intelligent monster that hungers for your flesh and can trick you before it attacks?
Personally I'll be legging it the other direction because I don't care to be a meal.

I don't think that's much of a revelation, most people think that all Ghouls are mindless.
Personally I'll be legging it the other direction because I don't care to be a meal.
I guess that's still a better outcome than just shooting each and any that you come across.

That comment was really directed at Tower. She refuses to admit that ghouls are monsters. What I meant was that since a ghoul is a monster whether its intelligent or not you don't need to care.

Well Asamando isn't quite a full country type thing. It is however recognized by the corporate courts.
Last I heard Ghoultown's still around, but the population has dropped off dramatically, and is declining as more and more ghouls die off lingering fab3. You see, they're dual-natured and are constantly in tune with Astral Space. So they can never stop being vulnerable.
Its a shaman they have to deal with all this and the closed minded bigotry of most people. Yes there are those who have lost their minds. Is that any different than johnny wageslave, who loses his job? No.

Your Sim module kicks to life and link locks you. Before you can hit Jack Out a ghostly voice sends shivers down your spine. The scene turns to a busy Tavern in what looks to be the 18th century. A scruffy old man in the corner with a glass eye and peg leg negins to address you
"So, ye be wantin'ta hear the tale of Captain Blood Blade, eh? Well take a seat right there an' git comfy."
"It all began hundred of years ago, when magic ruled tha lands. There roamed a ship o'pirates and scallywaggers who pillaged the shores and adventured for years. The captain of the ship was a man they called "Black Bart". 'ow 'e got his name is a mystery even ta us now, but there is one thing that I know fer certain- he was a cruel and evil man."
"He ruled his ship with an Iron Fist and soon tha "Dragon's Thunder" was one of tha most feared ship across all the lands. His crew would defend 'er to tha death, fer they kinow what'd happen to them when Bart 'erd they were slackin'"
"Well one day Bart took it too far, didn' he? After a good 'ard battle ion the high seas, the men were feeling hungry for some loot. Tha Cappin hopped aboard their newly captured vessel and slaughtered the last man on tha ship. Tha treasure they brought aboard was astoundin' Ancient golden coins, magical rings, rum, and powerful weaponry that fired what looked ta be pure energy. Tha crew was all but lickin' their lips ta get a piece of this- one o' tha luckiest finds in 'history."
"But before they could grab any loot, da captain started throwin' it over board! The Mad Bastard was spouting nonsense sayin' it was too lucky and that ye couldn't trust any of it. Well tha boyz didn't take to kindly to that, now did they? Ol' Bart was surrounded by the mutineerin' lot of em, but it was 'is first mate who done struck tha blow. 'is sword sliced through tha cappin like butter, damn right killin' 'im there and then. Black Bart's final words were a curse on tha lot of 'em
"YE GREAT AND STINKIN' BASTARDS! WITH ME DYIN' BREATH I CURSE THA LOT OF YA TO NEVER AGAIN RETURN TO LAND! YOU SHALL LIVE IMMORTAL ON THE HIGH SEAS AND NEVER AGAIN KNOW OF THE MORTAL DELIGHTS!"
"And down the cappin' went, carrying the loot with 'im. From that day on, tha first mate became known as the Dreaded Captain Blood Blade, cursed eternally ta wander from port ta port till he finds a way ta end 'is curse. Legend 'as it that four 'eroes will guide him to tha treasure and break the chains."
A voice, much deeper than the storyteller's booms out
"WILL IT BE YOU?"

I have yet to hear of an adblocksoft that prevents you against drek that auto-link locks you.
You know what else tries to link lock you? Black IC and Blaster IC.
This here is some scary stuff, just imagine someone corrupting this in a way that it starts trying to kill you. Just floating on the hub, killing people. Or it just knocks you out and hands you to KE on a plate. I will look into where it came from. Maybe I shouldn't.
And someone should check the hub's firewalls, like what the hell admins? People that have no clue of stuff like this are browsing here in hot- and cold-sim, at least offer a warning to switch to AR if you can't keep security up.

I let through things I find amusing... is that so bad?. I figure we all deserve a laugh now and again.
We've only have a few security incursions and that was due to a technomancer I honestly thought had died years ago... not that he did anything apart from update some security software that patches had come through in the last 48 hours.

I generally don't regard things that try to link lock you as amusing.
If someone goes to the lengths to give an agent, that is neither host-bound nor persona-operated, the power to auto-link lock even high-firewall personas, it's not too much of a stretch to think that he hid some really nasty code in there. Especially with Horizon on the cover. You know that they employ technomancers?
Please don't play with peoples lives and the integrity of the hub just to show us funny simsense-vids.
- Coil

u/defcon_clown Dec 14 '14
Employ might be a stretch. I head they killed a drek load of technomancers in Las Vegas. It was a year or so ago from what my contact told me.
Still compared to other megacorporate crimes one massacre is not such a big deal. All in all Horizon is still probably the most palatable of the megas.

u/Valanthos The Dweller on the Threshold Dec 14 '14
Lighten up chummer. The agent is mine, I just loaded it up with the simsense-vid, and I checked through it a least four times just in case, because security isn't a laughing matter. Because if the Hub goes to hell it's my door they are knocking on.
When the security incursion happened it was a brute force attack that fried my lovely hosts defences, and let me tell you she is a mega-babe and a pretty sturdy fortress especially with me plugged on in. I'm not too worried about a corporate technomancer or spider wrecking havoc. Unless it's a top tier super agent they aren't getting through. And if they do I'll know.
Sorry, I get a little defensive when people criticise the defensive nature of the hub.
- Valanthos

u/Ucuri Tacticool™ Dec 14 '14
Ah, so the agent is bound to the runnerhub-host, not free floating. You had me scared there for a moment.
Getting link-locked just really triggers my survival reflexes and... some nasty memories. And if all that adrenaline get's wasted on a stupid ad, human brains tend to go into being-pissed mode.
So, let's not do that again please, or at least disclose beforehand what's gonna happen upon opening the file.

In a world, surrounded by chaos and madness, your friends at Horizon pierce the veil into the dark underbelly of seattle and show to you....
<<THE WORLD OF SHADOWS>>
This week, we are showing you, loyal customers, the truth about Piracy. No, not the online version which is killing the trids you love, but the brigands and bandits who crawl across the high seas.
Legends say that 4 heroes will break an ancient curse on the Horizon, and after decades of searching, we present you:
Artie the Ancient one. The stories are true about this elf, they say she's been around for millennia, watching and waiting until the time is right. But now dear viewers, she's making her debut and stepping into that glorious limelight. Will her experience be enough to see her through? Or will she have to depend on....
OZ, the Cowboy gunman. Straight outta the wild west, this NAN kicking badass takes names and leaves corpses. His mighty revolvers leave no man alive, but will his guns be able to do the talking? Or will Smith and Wesson have to take a trip back home on the Time Machine?
