Need a little help from the forum

[absimiliard]

So I'm thinking that my next experiment is going to be in working on my skills running a hacker knight.

In order to do that I'm going to need a better sense of who buys what, and where they are. I've gotten a list of v-chip contacts for datahounds, and what they buy, which I'm going to post here. But I need help in figuring out who buys what from backrooms.

So, could people please post backroom contacts they run across? It would be useful if you could tell us who they are, where you found them (which faction's back-room), and whose data they buy. It might also be useful if people could point out any rep-related effects, like if buying from a contact raises rep with some faction (or factions) and hurts rep with other factions.

Without further ado, the list of data-hound v-chip contacts. (all credit to cyberelf, this is mostly off his excellent contact spreadsheet) I'm afraid I've no idea of who many of these contacts are buying for, so I can't say whose rep they will impact or in what way.

(about this, i have a little request for TB: for datahounds,both vchips contacts and backroom contacts, could it be possible to add requester info? Like "i'm John Doe,mars datahound,i buy aztek data")

[Slide87]

My add:

Tiberius Tuna,Bravestar

Patty Coogan,Blue ox
(only with +rep,he's also a pass discount seller)

Mr. Luck,Aztek

Gibson,
(i have it,he's in Datahound contacts,but he hasn't a Faction tag,anyway NO mars,NO Losv,NO Streets)

Cognac Brawn,LosV
(he's also a Streets fixer)

[absimiliard]

Got them! (by which I mean, "I modified my post at the top to include them")

Thanks Slide.

I am curious about a mildly off-topic bit of info in your post. You say of Patty Coogan, "he's also a pass discount seller". What pass would you be speaking of? (the pass for the Yak > 'shima tunnel? the BraveStar pass for the gate? a different pass I've never heard of?)

He sells a pass to the back room of Faith Fury and Redemption. Discount Ammo there.

[absimiliard]

"Learn something new today . . .." Check!

Yeah that's it =) honestly i didnt remember where the pass could be used,so,ehmm..I glissed xD ahahhaha of nothing,anyway =) if i catch someone else,i'll write here ^^

[fallen]

absimiliard - know about the pass for discount medical gear?

[grävling]

and the second person who gives out a discount ammo pass (to a different place)?

[absimiliard]

I think I shall need to go searching a bit more. I know there's a lot of this game I haven't seen yet.

I just need to finish testing out this path first . .. .. .

(oh, and then there's that whole "start a hacker and try it without start-scripts while juggling political alliances and pay-data sales to try to keep your head above water" thing . . .. . .)

Or the guy who sells the high end computers at 10-20% discount?

[grävling]

but not the 5 job one, alas.

[fallen]

grävling - its a good suggestion though. Maybe he will soon.

[Cory Trese]

or maybe he won't

Could you sock-puppets just come to a consensus or something?! ;D
