((Yay, I've been nominated!))
Few questions: Have we all met yet? How much are we payed for winning a match? How much has changed in the world, like space travel and moral ethics? Can we do things to earn fame outside a match, like saving kitties from trees or celebrity stunts? Also, let's start now!
Yes; Depends on the match (you're just an amateur team for now);
Wikipedia setting overview, but the main differences are the Matrix (a slightly different Internet), rampant cyberware, megacorporations, the balkanization of most major nations, a wide variety of dangerous and powerful magical phenomenom from dragons to wizards, and an expansion of the Seattle metropolitan area; yes, but it would probably require some kind of previous fame; sure.

(Firstly, I'd like to note that simple pick-me-up games between teams with no real effect on the game are assumed to happen, even when we don't play them. Thus, pretty much only games with some plot significance will actually be played.)
There's a new gang in the Renton Barrens, calling themselves the Renton Ronin. They started out as half a dozen Asian razorboys and disaffected/fired corp types lead by this Japanese immigrant claiming to be an exiled samurai or something like that; the details vary depending on who you get the intel from. Anyways, in recent months the gang has gotten a lot of momentum for some reason. In any case, they're starting to edge into other gangs' territory, which is in part because the local people like their faux-bushido methodology better than the "anything-that-works" methodology of the other gangs. However, this is leading to the Ronin getting into a bit of an all-sides gang war, which the Ronin take seriously. It's getting a
bit bloody; as good as their PR is, the Ronin are
thorough. They've offered a deal: If they can be defeated in a Brawl, they will leave Seattle forever; BUT if they beat the team sent against them, they will stay and get bits of various other gangs' territory and such. They've assembled a team of their surviving Founders and some various other members that would be good at Brawling; the gangs selected you (in part because they figure the Ronin would go easier on Ansee, in part due to drawing your name out of a hat). If you accept the deal, you get 10,000 nuyen up-front and another 90,000 if you win. Oh, and they're also covering miscellaneous expenses like medical costs, ammo, and replacing dead team members. They're kind of hoping you win.
Shall you accept?
