Can this be? I am used to getting over a hundred messages a day (easily).
Is there something wrong? Did my server finally call it quits? Or did
everyone decide not to write all on the same day? Oh well.

Snip...Assassination....

Hmm, this could be a tricky one. I still don't like explosives enough to
use them, but if it works, I can't condemn them. Personally, if you need to
do some wetwork (and you are a hitman or something similar), just find
yourself a nice sniping spot and put a bullet into the guys freaking head.
Remember, everyone has the "universal allergy" to lead...especially lead
moving at incredibly fast speed. If you want a bit of overkill, try using
explosive, APDS rounds (not recommended, unless it is viable). Problem here
is that it's a bit expensive...and very hard to find. Having caseless ammo is
also a good idea...less evidence.
I guess if nothing else work on the three Principles of the ninja: Heaven,
Earth, and Mankind (Observe your target, Study his habits, and Exploit his
habits). Of course this approach may take some time and is best done alone.

One last note, I finally wore Tinner down...he gave me a bombardier!!!
But it is not ordinary awakened flying squirrel...oh no. My new character (a
71 year old street doc/flying squirrel shaman-house rules, similar to raven
and raccoon) has given it opposible thumbs (cyberware...hehehehe). I am also
thinking about making it into a biped, but I haven't really decided. Well
that's all for now.
