Those were all deliberate errors, designed to simulate a state of
wastedness in Sawman. JIC anyone cared. Speaking of which, where is
everyone?

And does anyone disagree with Sawman's analysis of the situation. Most
particularly, what does the canon state? I don't have access to most of
these books (I don't know where the nearest roleplaying shop is, but it'll
either be 4 hours drive, or 10 hours drive and a 3 hour ferry), and I'd
like to avoid putting my foot in my mouth, if possible. I have a few runs
Fuchi vs Fuchi runs in mind. Plus something to do with Kirk and the
shifters (Jeff and co, I'll be in touch soon about this).

And anyone mind if I have an ally spirit living in a car stereo, like when
they live in them golem things? It would also be able to drive by talking
to the autopilot, and it'd have the ability to cast spells, such as Fix
Mechanical Object. BTW, in a humourous Stephen King reference, Lightning'll
be calling it Christine.

Dunno. I'm having a hard time bringing tDS back out into the light, and
most of my good ideas have been drained away by GMing a regular SR game for
the past how many months. It is weird though...

That's not problematic in the slightest as far as I can see. Fuchi vs.
Fuchi always made sense with the troika of leadership. It's essentially
only a duo now, but they are busy duking it out in the first chance in
years for true dominance.

As for the final analysis of Sawman, well, here's where the spoiler would
normally be, so if you still don't know what's up or don't want to, jump
down to the next part of the quoted message...okay, yeah, he's basically
right. In SR3, the company known as fuchi is no longer listed as a part of
the Big 10. So the twists and the turns are really only getting started
for this, but it happens in reality not too long from now, but officially
the company doesn't cease to exist until next July or something.

Well, if it's a homonculous, it'll be trapped in that car stereo...so while
the concept is totally wacked, it is possible to do. I'm not sure I'd
trust it's driving...I would guess it has a really bad habit of talking in
songs and choruses and such, or at least that's what *I'd* do with such a
critter.

So I guess I don't have any problems with it.

The next generation of Toastie...all grown up and just like Papa Toastie
wanted, Junior bettered himself and became...a car stereo!!
Hehehehehe...sorry, random thought, couldn't hold back my amusement!

I'm in the midst of trying to grunge through the first term as an
unadvisored grad student at Cornell, so I haven't had the time I'd like to
move my characters forward much. I'm still on the list though, and hopefully
something will happen eventually...
