Alright... lets see if I can't be explicitly clear. TL;DR version at the beginning...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>TL;DR Version</strong></span><br/>+ If you are walking the carpet and want to show off, roll your Charisma without modifiers, and I'll the successes scored. If you critical glitch, you do something that might have a lasting effect, if you simply glitch, it might just haunt you for this premiere. Use the success, failure and the extent there off to shape your post of you walking the carpet etc. Showing off, playing to the crowd, sticking out like a sore thumb, maybe get featured on that night's Worst Dressed list... etc. If you take this option, you will add +2 to the Fan/Media Recognition roll later, pass or failure. Critical Glitching instead adds +4.<br/><br/>+If you're walking the carpet but want to blend in, not be seen, and not have people recognize you, roll Charisma+Infiltration and count the number of successes. Subtract that number from the total dice used in both the Fan and Media Recognition roll. If you get enough successes to reduce the number to 0, no need to roll, you're a social shadow and likely won't even appear in anything but the worst of B-Roll footage of the Red-Carpet arrivals.<br/><br/>+ Add your Public Awareness Rating to the dice pools of the fans/media and further add or subtract from this roll any "recognition" modifiers you might have from qualities, and then roll. Count the number of successes and use that number as a reference to how you write your post. If the media get high successes, then throw in a paragraph about saying some things to an interviewer who might just be chatting you up to learn about the movie but their team of investigators learns you might have shadow connections. Both numbers of successes will be noted by me for later reasons, though none pertain to the cops showing up.<br/><br/>+ If you are avoiding the carpet entirely and want to risk sneaking past the crowds (as some attendees seem to be), you'll need to make a Logic + Infiltration test. If you get 2 successes on this test or more, you successfully sneak past the crowds (with help from the security agent) and make it into the lobby without being seen. Failing to get 2 successes results in the rabid crowd seeing someone trying to sneak in and promptly mob you, resulting in some messed up clothes, perhaps a torn lock of hair (it's dark on that path intentionally, people could mistake you for any movie star), and needing to roll a Stun-Resist (Willpower + Impact Armor) Test to stage down the damage taken. You are then dragged out of the mob of fans and into the lobby by your assigned security agent. Taking this route results in no media footage of you being taken of you even if you fail the roll, but if you do fail, say with a critical glitch, a still photo taken with one of the fan's commlinks may make it onto the matrix, but it's not likely they'll know who the hell you are.<br/><br/>Did that clear everything up? Did I misunderstand? Are there any other questions?<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>NOTE</strong></span><br/>The rolls I've asked for in this case are "FUN" rolls. They're mechanics and the fallout from them are supposed to be RP fodder for your own posts, and for me to use in reference later. No one is going to draw guns, stop the event or try and arrest anyone. In the world of Shadowrun there's a heavy romanticism to the profession, and the whole giant machine knows that Shadowrunners are good for everyone's business. The media gets to make money on the stories and public interest, the public gets a shadowy figure that fights the man and is kind of relatable in a Robin Hood sense, the Corporations get disposable people to do their dirty work, security forces get a reason to charge such high rates, and so on. No one is going to outs someone publicly on the red carpet of a Shadowrunner movie unless they are purposefully known for mass murder or terrorism at public events like this one. I won't be getting anyone arrested for this scene unless you really screw things up. ;) So lets get to posting and get you to your meeting...<br/><hr/><br/>Example: Sinner the nova-hot shadowrunner is in the same situation. She is running a fake ID with a rating 4, and has a public awareness score of 5 (the sum of her Street Cred and Notoriety divided by 3, rounded down) but otherwise has no qualities positive or negative that effect her public awareness, or might give modifiers to anyone recognizing her for whatever reason. (Fame, station etc)<br/><br/>She decides to walk the red carpet, because she's always wanted to as a kid. She struts her stuff, flirts with the media etc. She's living it up and drinking it all in. She makes a straight Charisma-test to show off and draw attention to herself to fill the empty void inside left behind from her traumatic childhood (and because her GM hinted it might have game effects later). She rolls dice equal to her charisma and gets 2 successes! The media is paying her more attention than they would have normally, but they aren't dropping their interviews with the film stars to turn the camera to her.<br/><br/>However, with all the attention now comes the recognition rolls. Because of her Public Awarness rating of 5, the dice pools of the Fans and the Media (of 3 and 5 respectively) get bumped up by a value equal to her Public Awareness, bringing them to a total of 8 and 10. So the Fans roll their dice and get 2 success. A few Fans, who might pay attention to Shadowrunning (they ARE at a Shadowrun-themed movie party/premiere) may think to themselves that Sinner either matches a description of, or could possibly be the real-deal or with a few more successes, those same Fans may even actually realize that it is her! They might know what she's done in the past, though likely not anything recent unless it was intensely public. In Sinner's case the fans are in an uncaring ravenous mass of screaming fangirls and boys and even IF they started screaming loudly, no one would pay them a thought.<br/><br/>The media are a bit more scrutinizing, of course. Anyone they can't immediately peg as a star in the movie gets compared to a database, their ID gets a high-quality matrix search by deckers and so on. Their rolls come up much better, making an exceptional 6 successes! While Sinner walks the carpet, a decker in a broadcast building blocks away gets the first hit on a facial scan, which leads him to an alias, to a report filed in the company node about a picture of the same person walking away from an explosion that occurred some weeks ago at a research facility in the UCAS, which links an article that lists the style of attack carried out at the facility matches a series of attacks over the past several months, and so on until the name "Sinner" comes to the forefront. One quick check to ensure no corporate interests of his company were affected by this trail of data later, at the speed of thought the information is collected, stripped, sorted to point form, and quickly arrives in the headware memory of the reporter halfway down the red carpet. As this is the red carpet debut of a Shadowrunner movie, the obvious assumption is that she must be a consultant for the movie, and as Sinner passes she's approached and interviewed. Not wanting to upset the event, the interviewer asks the "obvious" questions... who made her dress, excited for the movie, etc... but slips in a few questions about how she got contracted to consult on the movie, who brought her onto the project etc... all with the motive to, later that night, craft a headline that might list some famous producer's name has ties to the real shadowrunning community. As it turns out, they really don't care who SHE is, but who she might know.<br/><br/>Sinner, of course, can spot the tells... her ID isn't involved with the movie after all, so she simply throws in a few jokes to deflect the interviewer, claiming a "Mr. Johnson" brought her onto the project and that she "really enjoyed working with Suki Fireflower on her Last Run, but it's a shame how it all ended..." and through the humor the experienced shadowrunner plays it off as a joke, and gives the media a tidbit to play with for their highlight reel of the event, as the movie wasn't set to premiere publicly for another two weeks... a "Shame what happens" did she mean that Suki Fireflower dies?! Is this the confirmation the public is craving? Is this a joke using the media's own speculation?! ...and with a smile Sinner moves off down the carpet and into the lobby of the Space Needle, leaving the interviewer scrambling to get the footage back to her editors while setting up for her next ambush interview.
