Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

Committing forces to someone elses operation is risky, especially if you don’t have contact with whoever is already on site. In the Shadowrun world there is a real risk that the force attacking the platform is not ideologically allied and is in fact one of MCT’s competitors, or even MTC itself trying to manufacture an excuse to strike ecoterrorist assets.

If you want them involved however involve them. They don’t have to be perfectly paranoid, or unwilling to exploit the situation, maybe sending another spirit ahead to make contact. They could even have had their own op already past the go point, storming the platform from the sea faster than the HTR could have got there, then bring in the HTR via the air to make things more interesting.

As much as I like success counting systems, the speed of one die roll-under is really good if you are playing a game with lots of procedural rolls.

Success counting really benefits from games using concepts like let it ride from Burning Wheel (don’t keep rolling the same thing unless the situation changes significantly) and either extremely limited or highly abstracted combat.

To maximise staying under the radar, probably fabricate. You’d not be amazingly rich, but you could establish a decent living with a lot of free time. If you want to be amazingly rich and you squint hard enough at fabricate and what tool proficiency count mean in the modern world you can probably make some bank with a bit of study of chemistry or engineering. Being able to magically create complex drugs or something is going to draw attention though.

If you do it randomly they will all understand that the problem is ‘world leaders’ if you do it based on a ranking system you will have ones who think they are one of the ‘good ones’ and so safe.

Pretty much. I have seen a few services pop up recently that will do this for you, but that costs money, and is of course including a third party. This is why prevention is largely better than cure.

Depending on where you live (and therefore what legal protections you have) you can demand your details. In the UK this is the right of access and is exerted by making a subject access request (SAR).

Discord was (is?) rather aggressive about setting up new accounts. You could have clicked an invite link two years ago and it associated with your email and generated an account.

I think part of it has just realising that they might as well as it was adding so many rules modules in. Its not like adding the basics in costs much more. The preview suggests the base classes will be replaced but its still going to be BXish at its core.

When you have been running advance fee for so long and change up to the cool new crime.
