If it was me, I would keep essence loss at nice whole numbers. If only
to keep things easy to calculate. While I do think that 3 essence for a
chipjack 3 is to much essence, you have to admit... its alot easier to
say well 'ol cannonball here has two cyberarms and a chipjack 2... while
good 'ol hatchetman has 1 cyberarm and a chipjack 3 and still has 1
point of essence left. Other than... Ok. .25 essence for cyber eyes...
3 essence for wired reflexes. .75 essence for the auto nose picker,
1.25 essence for the thermite plasma emmitting forked tongue.... that
leaves me just .75 essence left... hmm... just enough for the internal
recipocating adamantite selfloading automatic back scratcher.

(sorry couldn't help myself)... anyway... I would keep the essence at
round whole numbers... just to make things easier.

I have noticed latley that some of my posts have been taking as long as
2 days to show up on the list. I have no idea what would be causeing
this... but the delay is rather annoying. So fear not, I'm sure your
getting through... It might just be showing up sometime next week.
