OK.. I'm gonna shock the hell outta everyone by saying that honestly I dont wanna know.. I have my suspicions, and I have proof but honestly what I know im not gonna say simply cause I respect FatMan allot, and from reading his past posts at the beginning of the Retros coming here, he wasn't thrilled about its unveiling. I know what its like to want to remain anonymous, and until FatMan says otherwise.. I wanna respect his want to be anonomous...
please don't send me PMs asking me who I think is who or about what proof... I'm not gonna tell.. period
on top of that.. I dont wanna feel like im pressured if one of them is in one of my campaigns (am I a good enough GM, will they get bored.. etc) honestly I see dwarf boy as a really good gamer that I hope to throw through some firehoops.. on top of that, perhaps I can use him to help Dom create a new contact, like a mayor and some lawyers a few others... dear gawd... the world of shadowrun will be even more corupt than it is now... Krass makes the laws... the rest of the crew make people believe that law, and if they dont then I can help them want to believe in that law..... ohhhh boy my minds goin 1000 mph now....

Now this is what happens when a PR professional puts out an Idea. The wrong people take it too seriously. Gee, I'm glad I started this.

Well said Mr. Johnson. Don't worry, you are good enough. I won't say either way about Mr. Gobwit. Many of the retro's ARE actively following his storyline and pestering me about recruiting him, but I am more inclined to bring the Retro's into the Proboards, at least the history part. ;D
I have already given Mr. Krass several reasons with some proof why he is wrong. He went away grumbling but knowing him he will not give up until he knows. Mr. Ronilion states he will not say either and Dr. Patterson when confronted stated he wished he could write like that.
I suspect Mr. Gobwit is not angry. I do think he is like Mr. Xenomarch and his game of Paydata. He likes to do Boxes in boxes. Eon is much the same way. There playing styles are roughly similar.

Fatman and Johnson, I could see you both had real class right from the start. You know Fatman is right, I'm not mad or angry at anyone. I'm having a good time. Lot's of fun people out here. I just like to stay in character. Been talking to our latest dwarf entry expogue. He and I are considering forming our own team. We'll work up a team name and even start pulling a group together! Let's see we need maybe a mage leader and a spare, Another Street Samarai, a Decker and a rigger. Anyone interested? Start posting the UGR on my 'Looking for a Job' thread and we'll start to actually establish backgrounds and characters. Then we'll go find a Johnson who wants to handle us. I want to try to make that Nestle's run, it sounds like a way to break into the high class biz ;D

Hey Xeno, nothing wrong with starting some conversation, omae. It lends some spice to the proceedings. Well' off to frag with JJ. I have to lay off those drugs though, somehow I got time shifted back out of the kitchen and into her claws. No sweat though. It would have been better if she had come in a pushed my scruffy hoop into the spin cyle. I needed a bath.

Hey Pelch, I just want to say that all i have is the utmost respect for you. Ive actually been enjoying reading your posts quite a bit, and wishing that i coudl get myself back up to that level. And i know the level of thought, anbd time that goes into a post like that. for some, it just comes naturally, for others like me currently, it takes time to think of it. when i used to rp, it was in the yahoo chat rooms, and i acgurtally had to start cutting back because people were getting annoyed with the para posting that i woudl do at times, due to the heavy scroll in the room. and the main para rooms expected you to fill the word limit for doing a simple actoin like taking a drink from a glass of water. That, and its been a good 4 years since i last roleplayed really heavily online. ive done it off and on, but thats still in live action. this is my first true forum one where there has been a minimum once a day post, so its not high paced like one that i played online at school was.
At this site i feel that i can truely enjoy myself.
As for Xandria, im currently working out the kinks in her. so her behavionr might change a bit from time to time, as for hunter, well, hes like me, so dont expect to see his behavior change atg all.
all i really hope for is ithat i can have some fun and bring fun to others, and that is all i want from people here. . grantred, that doesnt meant that i dont like to have fun by jokeing with others. hell, for examples of that, go look at the ask a stupid question forum.
Johnson, you wont have to worry about me pm[ing you about me wondering who it is. i might voice my opinion in here on who someone is, but i wont go seeking answers. at times i love conspiracies, and if the retro;s are thinking of hiding in here, then by all means, let them. just means that i can give my mind a work out which it needs. such as im doing right now with the intros to hunter. i doubt that ll my posts will be like that whnen im in game. i just hope to get my ugr's uip to that level. just one thing, i dont like playing other people's npcs. mort i might, as i doubt hes going to deny a good looking elf.....but someon elike jj, well, i dont see me posting much on her, andt hats only because i dont konw how she is supposed to be run and i dotn want to be stepping on toes at all. which is why i avoided anythign that might have said that styles did a move. such as waiting for him to open the door. just the way that ive playeed before. not saying at all that there is anythign wrong with that, so dont thin that im critizing you pelch because that is the last thing im doing. just saying how i play.

YEAH! My character sheet IS posted. I'm fragging A-FFICIAL, not you Krass. Does that sound right? As for improving posts. You do that in several ways.
First: You ARE the character. When you write, it is what it sees, feels, smells, touches, tastes. It has a mindset, and attitudes and it LOOKS around, It reacts, It stays IN CHARACTER and always follows EVENTS closely. The most important thing, It stays HUMAN, no God like powers. It has flaws, problems and personality. The final thing is have FUN!

Interesting items in tonights storyline for the dwarf and Dom.
Some things I noticed here:
The dwarf has a GOAL! I don't know how many times the Fatman has told us that outside of saying in character that is the third most important thing. His views are: The game has to be FUN! Always play as if you're the character and only deal with information the character has readily available. The character has to have a Goal.
Seems the dwarf is following all the rules:
He appears to be enjoying himself and after looking at his character sheet and moves I think JJ is lucky to be alive. If he goes after her she will never have a clue that she is the target. She may even underrate him having thought she has him cowed. Although so far he doesn't appear to have any grudges. He just takes it as it comes. Interesting.
He roll plays well. Reading his sheet he seems to do well by it and there is enough play that he can move around a bit. The dwarf speaks maybe a bit too well for the uneducated though but I know some street people who have had no schooling that can talk very well. His talk is laced with enough crudity to get him by.
He has a GOAL, in fact several. His stated long range goal is to get in on the Nestle's run, if that happens. His immediate goal seems to get connected and make NuYen, so that he can get off the streets and improve. He's hungry, ambitious and not overly inhibited by rules or laws. He does all this while showing a remarkable tolerance to physical provocation but has excellent weapons control. He isn't to quick to show what he can do or how much he can take.
My opinion is, he's got the touch.
Only other thing I noticed is you have to be very careful when you rewrite a post. Watch the time line carefully and don't go backward.
Most important, watch for things that have been alluded to but not detailed! For instance I picked up Immediately this line:
I wiped my hands and grabbed the poor boy sandwich the head chef had sent me. It was the real meat and cheese. I tucked it away in my coat to eat later, along with the other stuff he had promised me. The drink was a Fragging Krass Cola. Tasted like moose leak but I had drank worse. I sauntered out the door but you know the fragging elf saw me.
This is misdirection covered in detail and leaves an opening for him to use later. He got the sandwich and a drink, but he was also PROMISED in an earlier post a note that entitles him to a weeks pay! Other STUFF indeed. He links something like this to something he said in an early post. Dom ask for the NOTE before you pay his hoop. Fatman always teaches this trick to players. He tells us go back, read and reread. Look for little anomalies and when you write them in it gives you a trail you can build on if no one notices them. It works!

ok ronillion, im kinda drunk while reading this, but,. while im not pelch, im going to say, kinda, thanks for the pointers.
lol.
i will be the first to admit that im not the best roleplayer. and unless i havre 100 oscars on my wall, i shall never say that i am the best roleplayer. if i do then i will say it, lol.,but im not, and therefore` i will alwayts take suggestions. and i will re read them whem im totally sober. (even though i do think that us elves, if i read a former post right) should stick together.
thatisall................... i think. hard to tell when your doing your impersonation of a dwarven priest from dungeons and dragons- especiallyoi one who is testing the holy water before a big ceremony. (read- cant really feel fingers)

DREK! DREK! DREK!
Ronilion you gave it away! You retro's are some nasty fraggers to deprive a dwarf of his hard earned.
Maybe I'll get lucky and Johnsone won't read it....

Dream on, hairball. You'd probably take the pictures and try to sell them to Krass. Krass did like your insult to JJ though about the mirror. Keep pushing on the Nestle's thing though.
