I won't be sending email at midnight (7 hours from now in the Rocky
Mountains of North America) so I'll get mine out now.

1996 was my first full year on this list and it was great. Hope next year
is even better (with Mike on the list, how could it not be? <sounds of
boots being licked>).

HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

So is '97 better than '96? I haven't gotten there yet I still have seven
hours or so to go.

Lemme know how it turns out.

Hey....I still gotta wait 6 and a half more hours...

I wonder which Archology puts on the biggest party, also when do you think
the corp branches officially celebrate the new year? Is it based on the
local time zone or the one that the corp HQ is in?

I also wonder if the shadows get really congested when the end of the
'fiscal' year approaches?

Yup, I realize that. It was as after thought...tacked on as my little
wrinkly lump 'o grey matter jumped from 'New Year' to 'Corps' then to
'Shadowrun activity', and finally settled in on "Corporate shadowrun
activity as the new fiscal year approaches".

Best wishes for a prosperous 1997 to all the SR net heads out there.
Here's a little question though.

Is it now 2058?

When does the "official" SR timeline move ahead a year, and why is the damn
thing one year farther ahead of us anyway?

Was that done intentionally, or was it just a simple oversight?

Bear with me, but wouldn't it be easier if we could just add 60 years to
get the SR date?

This is just a pet peeve of mine, for some reason, being "off" by a year
has always bugged me, even back in 2050.

Having worked from <20:45/12-31-96> to <07:00/01-01-97> I can state '97 can
only become better then it startet. Have no confirmed reports from friends at
police or fire fighters yet, but I witnessed no less then 3 police actions,
one from the fire fighters, and no less then four ambulances. And I wasn't out
usually, doing bouncer and cashier in a disco. Ouch, do my bones ache.

Oh, btw: I wish you your plans and wishes will be successful and come true
this year.

Wasn't last year the Year of the Dragon? I think someone mentioned it to
me around teh Time I heard about Dunkie running for president, and I found
it a nifty coincidence...

If it wasn't, then someone lied to me...:)

But I have no idea what this year is...

Sorry to disappoint. I think last year was the year of the rabbit or
something. It was definitely not the Year of the Dragon though.

> If it wasn't, then someone lied to me...:)

Some sort of weird conspiracy?

Bull: Hey! Dunky just kicked the bucket! Say, what year is it on the
Chinese calendar?

PC in Bull's game who wants a shiny new Panther assault cannon: It's the
year of the dragon, Bull! Talk about a coincidence or what!

Bull: Cool! Those guys at FASA, bless their souls. Oh, and you wanted
that panther didn't you?

A penalty on your counter-attack vs MUCH faster opponents, I could
see, but wouldn'tmake cannon. It does more closely duplicate the
effects of SR1 melee, where you simply had a "melee pool" and used ONLY
those dice (no skill) for melee defense. Multiple fast opponents= OUCH.
Of course, Phys-ads had "auto-succeses", too...
"Melee reaction" doesn't make much sense- in your example below, the
characters average inititive is 12, higher than melee reaction- He could
be at a penalty if att

Happy New Year (for those on the Gregorian calendar).

Has anyone set up something that does a countdown to the 6th world?
Something like 1800 days and counting?
