But it is causing a severe character development problem for me. I have only
one real character on this BBS -- Rosha. She doesn't own a deck. However,
she can jack into cyberterminals belonging to other people and access the
Matrix.
She doesn't have her own persona etc. No programs (per se) ... not at all
a decker in any real sense. Her Matrix abilities are similar to those of
tortoises. Working at a cyberterminal kinda in the same way I'm typing
this email.
This causes a problem when she accesses the Shadowland BBS. According to
RHayden, the identity is coded into the decker's deck and automatically
leaves the actual decker ID at the of the message with the T/D stamp.
B/C my character doesn't have a deck, there isn't an ID stamp to leave.
I understand that the T/D stamp would come in regardless, but a Tortoise
accessing from a cyberterminal would leave the signature of the
cyberterminal's primary user right?
I can't find any real detail on this in the sourcebooks, but I am appealing
to the everyday posters on here for a "special dispensation" to allow my
character to shift her "decker ID" from post to post because of her way
of accessing the Matrix.
Although this probably sounds like a small detail, it is causing more
problems than I imagined for Rosha's character development.
If you want me to explain that further, I'll send another mail.
Please stand up for cyberterminals and tortoises! :)
peace
