No. What would be the point?

that's the problem in the way you office drones think

Eidolon/Out'ster/Fall Evacuee or Earth Survivor.

Later nerds.

How popular would elf morphs be?

Except they're all Sylphs. You don't even have multiple types of morphs? This is why some people never make it off of the C-list.

Hazers are elf morphs already, but yeah, they might be pretty fucking popular.

...

You are the worst thing about these threads.

Yet, I make them and keep them bumped.

more I was making reference to a normalized level of absolute excess, not the extent of what I would sleeve as. I'd be happy to try all sorts of novelty, and gladly would upgrade my ego and run on properly strong hardware, but yes, my day to day living would be done in a personalized sylph.

Flat, Brinker, Fall Evacuee.

Brinker? Really? What kind of hab?

Octopus. Maybe a basic morph but primarily infomorph

So what sort of non-existenstial threats have you dealt with or had your players deal with?

I'm thinking what sorts of shenangicans you can get up to in the entertain business of AF10.

i.e.

>Gang wars and beefs between rival muscians
>Actors heavily in debt to the mob and looking for a way out
>Talent recruiters secretly abusing their potential stars and starlets by forcing them to do snuff vids or trick on the side before being sold to 9 lives
> A PC news anchor accused of ego killing a rival and the far reaching implications it holds.

Definitely a swarm morph

Fall Evacuee, Lunar, Steel Morph.

Steel liberation ho!

>Hyperelite
>Brinker (Fascist Eugenicists)

Which steel do you prefer?

...

>brinker
>hyperelite
Pick one.

Less or more popular than kemonomiki morphs?

Being a hyperelite when growing up does not preclude you from fucking off to support Space Nazis in your adulthood.

Robofukker plz go.

This sexy bastard.

Splicer, Jovian, Fall Evacuee.

What are you, some kind of degenerate christfag burrito?

Would an R&D facility on Titan placed almost entirely inside an ice mountain with its main and only entrance inside a cove reachable only by watercraft over a liquid hydrocarbon lake look odd?

Only if its findings weren't released to the public or declassified over a year or so.

Speaking of Titan. What happens when someone tries to ignite a hydrocarbon lake? It's flammable, right?

Using what oxidizer?

the people there should be glad to share their works and discoveries, but only if you come in person

>implying that the Titans don't have secret labs where they do extremely questionable shit
I was going to mention your extreme naïveté, but then I remembered that you're a socialist, so doing so would be redundant.

But with what money, considering the transparency thing? Private Titanian citizens hushing up their experiments sounds plausible.

With the same money they use to fund things that they discuss when they use anti-memory forming drugs on their leaders. You know, when they aren't sticking them in accelerated psychosurgery.

...

What is the motivation for infomorphed evacuees to get physical bodies? They have access to better-than-life VR, perpetually.

Why would anyone slave away for access to a shitty body that is a direct downgrade from your current position? Even the best morph is no match for VR.

>They have access to better-than-life VR, perpetually

Pfft, no they don't. Simulspace subscriptions and quality server time cost money.

Also, not everyone who doesn't start as infolife adjusts well to permanent disembodiment.

As well, living as infolife can be a lot more dangerous.

>Pfft, no they don't. Simulspace subscriptions and quality server time cost money.
Sure, but I don't think I was suggesting that infomorphs don't or shouldn't work, but that what they agree to work for - slavery for a body - is fucking worthless in comparison to the boundless opportunities in virtual space.

Who's going to give them that?

The people who maintain the physical servers?

Server space for an entire human being isn't cheap.

>Server space for an entire human being isn't cheap.
Yeah, it really is. Trivially so, actually. You can store an entire human in a cortical stack, which is by design far less efficient than a server is.

Furthermore, the people that give them that are the people interested in the money and/or reputation of the infomorphed person, which could be a lot of people.

That's storage, not running. And while theoretically you can run a human in mesh inserts, to do so is NOT the virtuality paradise you're describing. That requires both decent hosting servers for the egos, and a decent server to run the VR sim on.

Still radically cheaper than a body.

Is it really?

I know one of the books had rules for what it takes to run a server, but for the life I me I can't find it.

A subscription is 1,000 credits a month. Chump change.

Per simulspace, mind. It says "to the simulspace of your choice", so if you want any VR environ with a different function, that's either the per diem charge or more monthly subscriptions.

Also, renting a private server account is also [Moderate] per month minimum, more if you want to access a more powerful server. This also doesn't factor in cost for Eidolons, because you don't get morph bonuses from being a regular infomorph.

Meanwhile, some chump indenture in a pod can likely do his job better, is cheaper for the employer to utilize and no psychological concern to develop any complications to sudden long-term instancing as an infomorph.

Plus, it's not a flat 1,000, that's an average. Exact cost would depend on market factors where you lived

It looks like it was applied with a marker.

Fucking kek

we should roll a server

It was. It's just face paint, not tattoos.

Here, have some actual tattoos including on the eyeball. Why is the eyeball tattooed? Because why the fuck not.

The piercings and gauge are just disgusting, but other than that that's a workable cyberpunk looking look she's got there.

hope for her sake she dies while she's pretty.

Yeah, grannies with tats like that would have to look just bizarre. I mean imagine a wrinkled old prune with eyes like this.

Actually if I saw an old wrinkled prune with eyes like that I'd immediately swing my body into the opposite direction of wherever I was going and run a marathon length away. Either that or start questioning whether or not I've developed schizophrenia.

Now add the old chinese woman who genuinely grew horns... somehow.

How are these people going to support themselves? No respectable establishment is going to hire them, looking like that.

Tattoo parlor or hair stylists?

Eh, usually for someone to go that extreme into it they already have plenty of friends and other contacts in it.

Crasher Titanian Drifter, I guess.

These contests seem rather one-sided.

> How are these people going to support themselves? No respectable establishment is going to hire them, looking like that.
Service industry is not that big, you know.

Strawman "Libertarian". Somehow the person thinks that American Libertarian means the same as European Libertarian and doesn't understand either very well.

If I was in a position to hire someone in any industry except maybe a tattoo parlor like said, I would look at these people and think "this person makes questionable choices".

God forbid I was hiring for a position that involved selling or presenting. Would you trust these ladies to sell you you a car or to pitch you a new piece of software?

> except maybe a tattoo parlor
Quite a few bars/clubs are also appropriate.

> God forbid I was hiring for a position that involved selling or presenting. Would you trust these ladies to sell you you a car or to pitch you a new piece of software?
I can say with absolute sincerity: it would make no difference to me. I won't trust even Jesus if he tried to sell something to me.

In fact, they might even have a better chance than the usual salesPERSON. Mostly due to me being more weirded out than paranoid.

> think "this person makes questionable choices"
Well, not being self-employed/independently wealthy/sufficiently qualified (i.e. needing someone's approval to get a job) already means they are on the dumb side of modern society.

Having some tattoos or piercings (or being openly homosexual/political/... - being any kind of non-conformist) doesn't matter much, if you want my opinion.

Maybe your potential employer is racist and will prefer to hire white worker, despite all the piercings it has?

Makes sense, I guess. I'd probably care more if it were my politics under the microscope.

This discussion makes me wonder, since nanotats and piercings exist/still exist, what about nanopiercings that you can change? What sort of weird shit could people make on/in their faces and bodies then?

>Well, not being self-employed/independently wealthy/sufficiently qualified (i.e. needing someone's approval to get a job)
If you're anything but self-made, you're still going to need approval to work. You can be qualified as hell, but if you're working for someone else there will always be competition.

infinikek, where is this from?

I'll just dump shitpost EP stuff until people come back, I guess
