Subject: Web Site Updated and VR 2.0 question

I appreciate all of the feedback people have given me on my site:

To recap
I have the game logs of the game I'm GM'ing (Starving For Attention has been
updated again)
My Fiction Site (Symphony Chapter 3 has been added) check it out I've tried
to add some humor to it let me know if it's funny
My VR 2.0 example of play (not updated)

One of the dfeedback questions was when calculating the security tally does
one count the NET successes gained by the system, or the gross number. i.e.
Decker Logs on gets five successes system responds gets three successes has
the tally been advanced by three or zero? I count gross sucesses which
practically guarantees that the decker will run into ice. How do other
people run it? Also: if someone remembers where that rule is located in
VR2.0 I'd appreciate it.

chapter three added)

Good, I'm right ... you just have to go back and re-read carefully

Yup. I love that rule. It, IMO, makes all the difference in accurately
portraying /barely/ spoofing the system ... :)
