Poor, poor 21Jack...  The fool never saw me coming.

I'll have to thank you, Jack...  You've opened up many windows for me.  Anyways, thank you for the recent addition of $50,000 you were kind enough to deposit in my account.  This brings the total of your contributions to me to somewhere around $90,000 and is indeed the greater part of my $107,097 fortune.

So, thank you, dearest Jack.  You will most likely get tweaked in the coming days, but I will remember you fondly for the man you were when I knew you.


Yessir, you read that right.  $50,000 in net profit from one session in at the tables.  I apparently set off some alarm bells among the admins, because while I was sitting there robot poofed into the room to see what I was doing.  His comment when he discovered I was not a bot:  "shit, son"

To be honest, I actually didn't know he was an admin until I checked the TAC display.  I was a little worried that the casino administration had sent a pitbot to escort me into the basement for a bit of a working-over.

But no, no such foul luck.  I won fifty grand, stood up, and walked out the doors of the casino without anybody even saying goodbye.

Post that on comedy or something, that's hilarious.

Also ingame I'm Superdude, sole employee of Frog's corporation WOMBAT.

Not anymore you're not.  Beortrix is now also employed by the mighty tower of economic strength.


Also...  fuckin' dinaxio, man.  That guy puts a lot of devotion into his work.

Wait, we have a corp up?

[MagmaDeath]

Not really. I just had a corp, and am employing people who need jobs/ask for them

Not playing yet, but considering.

If I wanted to be a crafter/mad bomber (so I can make my own explosives) what kind of statting would I need?  I don't have time for serious grinding, so I'd probably do more screwing around than real playing.

[beorn080]

Honestly, combat grinding is easier then crafting grinding, at least to a degree. Lets see, you would need chemistry, craft, bomb, and medic. Let me check the stats on bomb.

Alright, bomb needs cool. So, if you want my advice, 14 brain, 14 cool, 10 reflex. Start with chem, bomb, craft, and medic. Then pick up a rebar sword and grind some blade up to 1, it will take maybe an hour split over two sessions in the orphanage. Page one of us in game, and we'll help you get the rest up.

[Toaster]

Noted.  Thank you.

If I do start (probably, because why not), it'll be when I have more time to give it a good first go.  IE, not tonight.

[beorn080]

Fire it up. It takes seconds to get started, and its almost a lunchbox sized game. At least to start.

Whoo! I finally got clairvoyance.
It was crazy. I had to wait for someone in KREW to log on and then I asked him to take me to Luskentyre. He did and he also brought along this other clair. When we got there, our pilot fatalitied the guy guarding suicide rock. I gave the clair(who was also a medic) my defib and I attempted to climb down, falling to my death... She managed to climb mostly down before falling. She didn't die, though. We hesitated going to the cave. The clair projected to see what ways we can leave from.
She proceeded into cave to appraise the ghost. I went in and it started to attack me. The clair had a flame chain so she quickly dispatched the ghost. Suddenly, GOKU killed the pilot and proceeded to give a beat down on the plane. He died, somehow luckily... only to come back and re-kill the pilot. The clair and I were both projected so they wouldn't find us so GOKU couldn't find us(we thought he had someone seeking us.). Tahin logged on and he helped us get out of there. Except I had to die because I couldn't make the climbs. I wasn't able to savor the moment because my laptop about to die and my sister took her charger.
But I got clair.

[beorn080]

God, I need to get out that way and pick up one of those crystals. Satanists are somewhat decent money, but not like ghosts.

Uhh...  F*ed if I know.  A mentally retarded vampire that's really good at shooting people...  Don't know anyone like that.

I've been thinking about getting the guys together at some point and just lettin' loose at someone's apartment.  Have a little party.  Bring lots of booze, weed, shrooms if ya got'em.  PCP could be cool too.  We could order out for pizza when the Mary Jane hits, ride the garbage chute, and otherwise just be completely ridiculous for no real reason.  Pizza's on me, thanks to 21Jack and his generous contributions.

I continue on my quest for actuated valves and condenser coils.  And mugs.  Always with those goddamn mugs.

[beorn080]

Out in the NW corner of gangland, there are a number of cars and burn barrels. Two in the mall when you go up, van near the police station in the nw, and a burn barrel too.  Think there may be two sets of cars out by the police station. Lots of parts in them, all random and respawning eventually.

[Kagus]

...  Damn.


Well...  You win some, you lose some.  You win $90,000, you lose $70,000.  21Jack's either been tweaked since we last crossed paths, or he just doesn't like my new suit.  I've been bleeding something fierce, now I'm down to $22,000 from $100,000.

I went back in to win it back, and I managed to stay afloat for a while...  Was even playing alongside a guy who acted as a sort of "good luck charm".  Whenever he was sitting down, I was getting good hands.  But then after a while a third person came in and things just got crowded...

And I lost about $10,000 to poor programming.  If there were two winning hands, the highest hand got its bet paid out on.  Everyone else was shit outta luck.

For example, even though I bet $5000 and had 19 over the dealer's 17, my "good luck charm" got a payout of $2 for his 20.  My bet went to the casino.


Grr...  I'm going back there tomorrow to show that git what I bloody well think of him.  I'm gonna win that money back, I tell you!  That grinning little twerp ain't gonna get the best of ME.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks for the car-related looting tips.  Didn't know that was even an option.  I've just been in and out of the first few rooms in Sharpton.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

You gambled away $70K.

You could have given it to me so I'd protect you from people who wanted some of it. Mainly me, since I'd have it.

Now I have no choice but to grief you. Your head will a be a nice touch for my wall, I only have one head on my noggin rack so far.
