Well, I've got one last good one and I'm saving it for something really wiz, like Zone giving me another kiss. Of course, last time I had to wait for a Category 5 Hurricane to hit my city before she gave me THAT. So don't look for it very soon. ;)

Chummer, it just isn't worth it. :-\ No offense, Zone, but 2 Cat 5's in 2 weeks was enough for me for a lifetime.

That idea about the rig is really nice. The only real expensive part about that is the rating of your encryption program. Essentially, the same set up could be set up with a Simsense rig (albeit, more expensive) and a radio.

Ideally, you'd have to be in an area where your signal could get range or be retransmitted or sent through the 'trix. Cellphones or radio receivers attached to jackpoints could do this. Keep in mind, that even if the data is encrypted, it can still be recorded and broken so a GM who allows this set up should keep this in mind.

also, if you broadcast a lot, a decent decker could use your gear to triangulate on you.

Yes indeed, of course, you'd have to die a lot to do that.

well, not DIE a lot. but you need to post 'interesting' things to your site so that the people who need to know, will actually go there in time to make a diffrence.

and, if you make enough posts so that people go there every month or so, and someone figures out that it's you, and wants to track you down...

it would be tough, but it could be done.
I could do it.

Well let's be honest, if you are alive to post "interesting" things, then you wouldn't have to transmit anything, you just upload int like normal over a matirx connection. No worry about someone finding you aother than the normal ones.

well, with any system like this; there's a problem of eventual breakdown.

the hacked cellphone gets cancled, your upload point gets compramised, the OS on your desktop computer gets worms... lots of little things can cause big problems. the only way to keep it running is to keep testing it.

so, uploading interesting tidbits is a double reason;

reason 1) to make sure people know where to look to find this data.

reason 2) to make sure that the system can run fully automated, even if you are dead. because while you could try back again if you got a buisy signal... what would your slowly cooling corpse do?
