Subject: Idea for a scenario
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 1994 14:06:29 +1100
Please, please, please don't read anything into this beyond the
surface level. It's just that my recent problems with the
mail, and the reactions that caused, lead me to think about this...

Take one highly skilled decker who gets crossed by the party.
The scenario idea is to simply pit this guy against the group.
His attacks take the form of subtle sabotage (like, tampering
with messages between the group and their contacts - it'll be
audio-visual messages, but with the right image and sound
editing software, that's no problem; starting subtly, like
adding a sneer at just the right point in a message left in
someone's mailbox). Things that the person receiving the
message probably wouldn't quote back at you directly, just alter
their trust or friendliness.

>From there, this decker (let's call him Sleaze), can gradually
start escalating - fake up arrest records to insert into the
Lone Star and City archives, if anyone has fake (or real!)
SINs that Sleaze finds out. Altering their bank accounts
(if they have any), insulting (electronically) local Gangers
using the group's faces; locking them out of their homes;
popping traces of them into security records inside MCT or
Aztec (whatever the worst is that he can manage).

Nasty, eh? I guarantee, emotions would soon start running high,
and the _satisfaction_ of finally nailing the bastard...

What do you think? Does this idea help `pay' for all the noise
I've been causing today?
