Really? I think it's a lot better to have all sorts of discussions (that
usually start as SR-related) than just dry (and sometimes dull)
discussions of _only_ Shadowrun.

What is party IC, exactly? I've seen it mentioned a few times, but never
any descriptions or anything.

One of the NAGEEs has something like adaptive IC. I don't recall the
details.

Party ICE. Nasty stuff that. Basically I believe its a form of
Black ICE. What makes this strain so intristically horrible to
deal with is, once set off, it summons Black ICE from other nodes.
This has two effects. The first is to swarm the beleagured decker
until he gets fried terminally (Apologies, I could not resist the pun).
The second is, if the decker is able to defend against multiple ICE's,
the system can go into slow down from so much active code/load in that one node.
Basically not very healthy all around. Stay clear and keep sleaze and masking
handy.
