I had a couple of ideas: infiltrate their network and look for floorplans, or search for any internal memos/messages regarding the operative. I could also try using Research for open-source info about the corp.

Whatever Dokkaebi thinks, Style is not his forte, but I could probably rustle up a Contact in the Blue Lotus who knows the operative.

[thenewflesh]

I have Style and Blue Lotus connections. Happy to do that if you like. Somebody with better Mind than I ought to go do some research.

Need a portrait and a cred stake from you still, Sung-ho.

Lo and behold:
Hit the street [2d6+1]=11+1=12

Flawless victory. I added Hyun Shik to your contacts and gave his reply.

[Marisu]

Roll enough times and diamonds come up! Nice!

3 please. I'll post a portrait later today.

It's player's move, if anyone was waiting for something

[thenewflesh]

I was waiting for the hacker sequence to play out.

[Faanku]

He can stay logged in for as long as the legwork phase needs, you only need to roll to Jack Out if you hit some trouble.

[thenewflesh]

Gotcha! Sorry about the wait. I didn't know I was still being given spotlight.

We still don't have floorplans, yes? I think that's probably the biggest thing we need before we plan the actual hit. I just have no actual sense of this facility or what a breakin would constitute.

[Faanku]

I believe Dokkaebi was working on that.
Salome got her intel and is now narratively free to make another Move elsewhere, if she wishes. Maybe Fool or Sung-ho want to put some legwork in?

[Enoch]

That's what Dokkaebi is working on. I've suppressed the alarm, but they've started an active trace (which will eventually identify where the food truck is). I'm not sure what the next step is.

[Faanku]

I'm not sure what the next step is.

Basically you made your Move, rolled 6- which triggered a Move from myself (which was Activate the Red Ice) and that was resolved. It's back to you as players again after the MC has made a Move, which generally only happens if you roll low on your own moves; theoretically you can chain rolls of 10+ successes together without any mechanical input from myself, as in those situations you achieve exactly what you set out to do with nothing going wrong.

[thenewflesh]

So the hacking sequence is taking a while, and the game is running out of steam. My own recommendation would be to lift the game over to discord, where things tend to move a little faster and it is easier to ping people. Or we could wait, or we could cancel.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

[Enoch]

I don't think the hacking scene is the hangup- given my roll, I believe that scene is over and we're waiting for anyone else to do legwork.

[Faanku]

I don't think the hacking scene is the hangup- given my roll, I believe that scene is over and we're waiting for anyone else to do legwork.

This is absolutely correct, but when the game is spinning its wheels as it is I'm meant to nudge it along in the right direction.
If nobody has anything they want to do, I'll do just that.

[Faanku]

Seeing as it's been a week with no response, and almost a month since the last Move, I'm probably going to shelve this game for the foreseeable future. I think this pace is just too slow for such a system.
I know real life has happened to a couple of players, so it's unfortunate but entirely understandable that it's gotten like this.

If people are still interested in returning to the game later I'd be happy to open it again, it's a lot of fun to run!

[Enoch]

Well, it's a shame but I understand. Tough to keep a PbP game going under the best circumstances. I'd love to rejoin if it ever reopens.

Yeah I'd be happy to keep it going but I'd want to see at least a post or two a week from people to keep the pace up, and I know at least one player is on the verge of dropping out due to IRL.
