Clbum suggestion: Spammer.

Ok, so FW is all about forum spamming, but bear with me. I’m talking serious untapped possibilites in the wonderful field of internet sales/marketing BS. Nigeria letters, pyramid scheme chains, Viagra, Loans,Degrees… it’s the stuff intarnet lore is made up of, and you could fit a lot of it into the Spammer.

Clbum background casts your character a freelance marketing consultant just having bought into his/her first get rich quick-scheme. Perhaps an old-school bureau type not having quite got it? Attacks range from low level ones such as Slogan (“Jizzterine – kills germs that cause bad breath”Log in to see images!. Equipment could include stuff like flash banner, popup-script, redirect-script, captcha-decoder and the killer move: Flood script.

Spammer HP is named Spiel, and is boosted by breath fresheners (ok, so a bit uncongrous – you come up with something better). Pwning the forum would mean that you have gotten the message through to the point that the whole forum is one big ad for whatever you pitch.

A typical clbum advantage would be high Frugality and Defense. Disadvantages would include a major Charisma penalty.

A clbum typical mission would be planting redirect/popup scripts (FBO/XSS-style) for a M$egacorp for fat wads of flezz, or perhaps from one of the in-game stores for a permanent discount.

(Some of this stuff may be in there already – I haven’t playd through Ep2 yet)
