how to make the perfect creepy war bot.

Camoflogue spray, give them an explosive payload. Not great for direct combat, but in large-scale urban warfare? I think it'd be effective.

You totally just did, but it's ok. I'm a big man. I can admit when I was wrong about the vaguely defined size of a robot in an RP.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the deafening noise of how wrong you were.
OH MAN SO WRONG.

Oh, and I'm thinking, in combat, it might be a little difficult to have PF get back to us after every roll. Unless we can somehow arrange to all be online at a certain time...

You do know you are picking a powerful enemy right?

not too bad, I mean its turn based combat so she can do them all at once. Issue I see though is being able to alter rolls with moxie complicating things since she cant resolve then entire thing at once

Except, y'know, these are supposed to be bodyguards for Ellen.

But yeah, your idea is pretty cool. And they already come with Chameleon Skin.

I need to find a way to get Ellen in with Tyrfing. Might be hard, considering her whole self-sufficiency thing.

Why not just have her higher a morph bodyguard?

That way she'd have protection and fun!

Dracorion · 05-31-2010, 10:16 PM

Hiring a bodyguard could be troublesome. I mean, they're doing top-secret stuff for Firewall. Unless Firewall clears the guy, that'd be a lot of sensitive info to keep on a guy you can't trust to keep his mouth shut. That's why AIs are better. They won't blab, and you can erase their memories,

Also, there's the whole problem about paying the guy. I don't know how our characters are going to get more credits aside from spending Rez points, and I doubt a bodyguard would be cheap anyway.

And she probably wouldn't fuck the bodyguard, unless they decided to make that the payment. Then all it would take is for Firewall to clear them.

I'm guessing it'd cost her quite a bit, though. Competent bodyguards don't come cheaply. And even when they do, THEY AREN'T WORTH IT.

I mean, even if we do enter a mission where she's in extraordinary danger, we can just assign her one of our combat guys, to guard her.

krogothwolf · 05-31-2010, 10:18 PM

How many combat guys do we have? I nominate Daniel!

Dracorion · 05-31-2010, 10:18 PM

We have three combat guys and like five squishies.
