ok, this time i'll tell you kids a real story. March 17, 2013 (i know because i still have the text log). so i was playing in an online text game of cyberpunk, my character Nicky "the knife" was a hitman who had sold his soul to the Italian mob to the tune of 40k worth of bioware. another player in the game was running a small time gang leader in the hood. normally we would have gone on peacefully coexisting, as the game up to this point had yet to experience lethal PVP. however, the thing is this small time gang leader decided to muscle in on another gang in order to gain their turff... and this loosing gang paid protection money to the mob, you can see where this is going.
so one day a mob lieutenant gave me the other player's picture and said he needed to be "taught a lesson." there was some equivocating by the GM on this issue after the fact, but when you tell a hitman to solve a problem, how do you really expect that is going to play out? So anyway, the next evening we bumped into each other on a side job for some third party and i saw my chance. I effortlessly stalked my target through the city, looking for the right time and place to make my move... and then this player has his guy walk into a club where amateur cage-matches are held. I observed him for a bit and noticed he was talking a good game to some recruits about warrior spirit and what have you, while in the background the GM is describing the fight in process, which ends in a FATALITY. The player thankfully didn't pick up on this little tidbit as he was busy monologuing, so I went over and called him out in front of his fresh recruits, let's give the kids a show or was that warrior spirit talk all bullshit, etc.
I goaded him into the ring easy enough, won initiative by a landslide, and proceeded to punch him in the face for 9 points of damage... which then doubled to 18 because head hits suck. a bit of a tantrum followed, with him questioning the lethality of hand to hand strikes, applicability of called shots in melee and the rules for loosing limbs, but after a while it finally sunk into this guy that yes, he just had his skull caved in with one punch!
so a couple life lessons for the children. 1. never ever piss off the mob, 2. don't send a hitman unless you want the target dead, 3. never ever get yourself into a cagematch where you don't understand the rules ahead of time.
did i mention my hitman had a theme song? they played it whenever he showed up to his "legit" cover job at a mob owned strip club.
