And besides, for those of use who thrive on nerdosity, this can only help. ;)

Good point. Of course, this is TOTALLY illegal in ALL respects. So seeking compensation for business related deaths would be a bit... interesting.

PC: See, your' honor, it's like this. Me and Tusker and Mad Sammy were going in hot to geek this cobber who iced Jack66, when Tusker took a round to the head. That damn Jack66 iced my chummer! So I opened up on him and scragged the fragger real good. But see, Tusker had a wife and a kid, and what are they gonna do for money now that Tusker's ghouls food??

GM (Judge): So let me get this straight, Mr. Boudreaux. You and these two other men broke into the residence of one Jackson Milton with the express purpose of commiting murder. In the process of killing this man, one of your companions, one Charles Montegue, was killed when Mr. Milton shot him in the head. At which time, you killed Mr. Jackson. And now you are seeking compensation from Mr. Jackson's estate?

PC: Um.....

GM (Judge): Balif, please escort Mr. Boudreaux to a holding cell.

Gabriel

Runner : : Your Honor! You can't prosecute us! We don't have SINs!

Judge : : Ahem, Baliff, ignore that last order. . .

Runner : : Thank my Karma!

Judge : : Baliff, escort these "non-persons" outside, execute them, and return with their valuables, which are now direct property of the courts. . .

Runner : : *Gulp* Awwh Drek!

~ And as far as legality goes, let's say that you lure the mark to a location that DW had just recently bought. Corporate land lies under corporate Jurisdiction, and if corporate policy is shoot all non-corporate personnel, then problem solved. Or just buy the hut the poor slot is holed up in. Corps can destroy their own buildings, and if "Some poor unidentifiable squatter" got in, who'd lose any sleep, eh?

Bottom line. Corps with money can write their own laws, or buy the best lawyers.

Yeah, but if it's a choice between going out like Orville Redenbacher (who died in a hot tub full of supermodels while mid-orgy), and Edgar Allen Poe (penniless and despised), I think I'd have to go with the popcorn mogul.

Maybe that's just me.

*shrug* I wonder what it costs to rent a hot-tub full of supermodels on an hourly basis?

Hey Curris,

I think the only flaw with your logic is that not all corporations are extraterritorial, only AAA corporations can apply for and recieve extraterritorial status. Anything smaller than the Big 10 are still subject to the laws of whatever country the reside in. And keep in mind that most subsidiary corporations are not extraterritorail either. Only wholy-owned AAA's get this. So say you have the Death Wagon Corporation as a subsidiary of Ares, they are still only a AA or lower-rated corp. Ares would be subject to Ares law, but Death Wagon would be subject to, say, UCAS law, and therefore totally and COMPLETELY illegal in all senses. And just about every AAA (except possibly Aztechnology) would shy away from DW because of publicity.

Good point Gabe. . .

Hmm, I don't know if I want the Azzies patching me up. I might end up with less pieces than from before the surgery. . .
