Are you saying that the people who role play dealing with corps, role play
their characters, build up a history, work on building a good rep with their
character, and work at getting high grade cyber are less "worthy"? Do you
think no one can role play anything but a mage? Are you that arrogant? I
mean, a get haughty, but I never presume that someone's character was
_given_ all his stuff. I role played my sam for 5 years of real time and 7
of game, and thats why he got to be where he was. Now, are you saying that
that takes less than what you put into it? I'd like to hear you say it.
Either admit that a sam can be role played up to a power level, as any
character can, or be hypocritical and say that only you and your mage can
be. Which is it? There's as much role playing to saying "I went and bought
a..." as there is to "I spend x amount of karma and wrote a thesis, here is
my role, gimme my new initiate grade." But a good roleplayer will work at
it more than that.

And on the lots of karma vs. lots of money for character build up, it all
depends on GM. I had a GM, and how I GM, it's easier to get money than
Karma. My universe just hands it out slower than corps hand out cash.
