At the risk of interfering with player decisions, the real question at this point is whether he can avoid becoming swiss cheese. I sense that you're taking something of a conventional RPG mentality here, and that just won't get you too far in Tensided. You can't use a silver tongue to get cops pounding on the door of a criminal they have been tasked to arrest to go have some donuts instead and be relieved of their jobs when they get back to headquarters, and you can't expect to win a firefight with cops using only a glock 18 and a mattress as cover. I don't normally give overt advice to players during a game on what they should do, but you've got several different ways of escaping that I can think of, and making a stand should be the last thing on your mind. Don't mean to bust your chops, just trying to steer you in the right direction.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Lets see if the good doctor can avoid becoming a cop killer.
Oh dont worry, you have made it rather clear that I cant rely on being a death machine in this(hell I designed him so that he isnt) but why not try to talk them down while looking for an escape route?Arthur_Tuxedo wrote:At the risk of interfering with player decisions, the real question at this point is whether he can avoid becoming swiss cheese.

Sympathy for my plight may make them a little less apt to kill me, should they catch me, so...Huzzah! Last time I think I sprained somthing and broke a few bottles tripping over the bar.Arthur Tux wrote:Coordination check

Heh, yeah, but then Dirk's not a very good guy. Do you get the feeling he's drawn a bead on a cop more than once?Marcao wrote:I mean fuck, Dirk makes it into the city and they are on him like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
Then again, Stavis is that hobo after a ham sandwich. Why do you think he's only got $300 worth of weapons, a stolen trenchcoat, and 'ATMs' listed as his main source of income?Marcao wrote:heh, I respect the police in the setting allready.

Um...when the cops are knocking on your door with a warrant for your arrest, you do not exactly have a good position to reason with them. They are not there to discuss the validity of the charges, they do not want to debate if they should bring you in or not. The only options you have are to kill them, run, or to give yourself up.Alyrium Denryle wrote:And they cant even be reasoned with.

Watch COPS sometime.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Dont have much experience with uniformed officers so..
And so are you. Difference is that they've got ballistic armor and bigger guns.On the other hand, they ARE still human...

heh. I get the vibe that Dirk is a bad, bad man.Heh, yeah, but then Dirk's not a very good guy. Do you get the feeling he's drawn a bead on a cop more than once?
I like him.Aaaah, Stavis. I hope he makes it out of this mess allright. Nice touch with the quarters and the buffalo wings.Then again, Stavis is that hobo after a ham sandwich. Why do you think he's only got $300 worth of weapons, a stolen trenchcoat, and 'ATMs' listed as his main source of income?
Lol! I was kind of hoping you'd fail the roll, catch your foot on the ledge of the bar and go headfirst into the drinks, but alas...CorSec wrote:Huzzah! Last time I think I sprained somthing and broke a few bottles tripping over the bar.Arthur Tux wrote:Coordination check

Well, they're not too competent in general, I just like to start campaigns with a bangMarcao wrote:heh, I respect the police in the setting allready. I mean fuck, Dirk makes it into the city and they are on him like a hobo on a ham sandwich. *smiles* it makes for great reading though.

And Dirk knows this, but he does it anyway. Why? Because he just doesn't give a damn.That's pretty much what happened the first time. Fate owed me one, I suppose. I think I covered my ass with my words. Even if I failed, it would have been elegantly disasterous.Arthur_Tuxedo wrote:Lol!

And here I was trying to play a computer RPG with this (or, trying to out think the programmer - in this case, the GM. I was thinking there's a good reason why the cops were after all of us (yes, despite the obvious guess of most of us are wanted criminals). Alas, they're just slobs doing their jobs.Arthur Tux wrote:Well, they're not too competent in general, I just like to start campaigns with a bang.
Actually I don't yet have a firm idea of what the story will be about. I'm still observing the dynamics of the group before deciding. So don't rule anything out yet.CorSec wrote:That's pretty much what happened the first time. Fate owed me one, I suppose. I think I covered my ass with my words.

That will prove to be fun I thinkWith all of these truly malevolent characters around me, I think playing a somewhat naive person might inject some fun into it. (Blaine isn't naive by today's standards, but certainly by the game's timeline he is.)
