depends. the johnson would decide what fixer to go to.. THEN the fixer decides which
runners to get for the job. if you bribe the wrong fixer - you only get the jobs he is
fixing for.. so choose your fixer wisely when you bribe them :)

On another point, how many ppl have tried to play a adventure written for multiple
players (4+ I think) but played it solo.. with a couple of NPC friends. Youre the only
one doing any thinking.. some things get easier.. but its damn hard when the bullets
start flying.. its like youre all alone...
can anyone sympathise? Ive got a troll mage in the second first run scenario (PBEM) ..
and i get the feeling I am about to be ventilated with more holes than a warehouse
full or swiss cheese. oh.. and there is the mage also.. ah well i have an elemental..
but he probably has too.. (and two as well).
ah well.. how to other ppl play this type of game? (a solo run of a multi-player
adventure where it isnt toned down <as far as i know>).
