So, You Want To Be A Bounty Hunter...

[terrymixon]

William could have connection with;

Term 1: Jaelah could be on the same assignment together

These are in reverse order, so this would have happened within the last four years - I think.

That should work and would merge in with the start of the game nicely as we hunt down a big bounty together.

BUZZZZ

Sadly for you, Jaelah has connections with two people at this point and is done. You'll have to find a new victim partner.

[terrymixon]

Here is William. I couldn't resist going with a classic image.

Done.

[terrymixon]

To make the final connections balance out, Arkar and Silencer CANNOT form a connection with one another. It has to be with Kevin or Spicoli. Then Kevin and Spicoli can form one with one another. Sorry this seems like a game of musical chairs, but here we are.

Two more connections and some cleanup and we're ready for the first in-game post!

What if Walter and I have a connection in the first timeframe as well as the fifth? It would be two contacts with the same person but you could argue that we joined together because we all know each other.

I'm a little lost right now.

It really goes to the purpose of the connections. The intent is to draw the party together with a web of links and two connections between the same players really doesn't add to that. That's why they allow a maximum of two, and not between the same players.

[helvorn]

That makes sense. It seems to me that a connection with Walter and Spicoli would be best for William. Just waiting on confirmation if those will work or whether to look for something else.

Eris? Is Walter gonna be an old pal?

I need a skill for your existing connection and there are a few other things on the post you could knock out while you wait.

[helvorn]

Which connection is that? I am currently working on my gear.

I show a connection between Silencer and Walter. That's correct, isn't it? He suggested it and you responded positively, as I recall.

Approved so far. Let me know when you add it and the computer/software to the spreadsheet and be sure to include your ending cash.

Just to clarify matters folk can still RP through and bond over "events they have in common" albeit they are not an official pre game "connection" (as per that mechanic)?

The difference perhaps being "I know you from Lanth" vs (on introduction) "I served on Lanth" "Hell, I was there too!"

True enough.

Still waiting for Keith the Scolar to reply on my suggestion, but in the meantime, here is Arkar. I think it captures him perfectly.

He's in the process of moving, so I'm going to say that you have a connection and will still have to work out the details with him when he pops back up.

That makes the last connection one between Silencer and Spicoli, details also to be worked out.

That makes sense. It seems to me that a connection with Walter and Spicoli would be best for William. Just waiting on confirmation if those will work or whether to look for something else.

Eris? Is Walter gonna be an old pal?

Terry, I've never, ever, been a big "background in advance" person (I tend to discover my PC's during play), so this is all pretty hard for me. Trying to wrap my head around all this...

I'm happy to have met any of the gang, but just how?

Spicoli worked with Naval Intelligence and then Hortalez et Cie (they started as spies and gun runners after all ), but he was an analyst, not a field operative. Walter seems like a field operative sort of guy from what I've read.

Maybe, in the term where Walter was Law Enforcement he is the one that figured out it was Spicoli that stole the "device", but he was the one that ended up carrying the can when the great and mighty got done with their re-arrangement of the case. The two of them had to work together to keep from being the scape goats for a high level operation. As it was, they barely squeaked out a way to wiggle out of taking a "long fall." In the end, Spicoli was allowed to "retire" branded a thief, Walter got tagged as a dirty cop and was fired, and the two of them had a...not friendship...but grudging respect for each other and the knowledge they worked pretty well together?

Maybe, this understanding continued into the Bounty Hunter term. where they worked together again. Spicoli did the hacking and forensics with his skills to identify and find the mark while Walter did the leg work and the actual taking down of the target?

Would that work for you and ravenspoe?

I'm agreeable to whatever you guys do. If you don't want to have an intricate connection, it could be as simple as just having met one another. I'm easy and would still let you get the extra skill or skill level.
