Being sensible never so much as gets a though with my chaarcters; my cat
shaman has blown a few tens of thousands of nuyen on clothing over the last
few months, my terrorist/author in bug city gets himself into worlds of
dreck becuase it is morally right every game and my paranoia character (a
neo-hippy) once ended up taking LSD mid-firefight. I guess its just the way
we play; the GM has long since learned that whilst we may be fairly rational
people, our characters will almost always pull some stupid stuff.

So I guess that if you guys are going mad I'm already there :)>
