|So one of our street samurais thinks: it can't be that hard... pushes
|said Master Decker/god archetype aside, takes the fairlight and
|starts typing... samurai slots in his computer 3 chip-
|rolls three dice, results: 6,4,6, rerolled: 6,2 rererolled: 4
|
|So the samurai did what the decker couldn't do...
|HOW THE HELL CAN THIS BE EXPLAINED IN THE GAME?

Simple. When you write a lot of code, sometimes, the obvious just gets
totally overlooked. (I know I've done it).

The solution to the problem was SO obvious that Mr experienced decker was
going in the completely wrong direction, whereas Mr "What's-a-computer"
Street Sam saw the problem BECAUSE he didn't know it was too obvious.....

If you get what I mean.....

|The deckers rep would be permanently exringuished.. (if it weren't
|already)

Make for some good Roleplaying, won't it?
<Evil GM Grin>

|comments/help/flames/else anyone?
