Note: Played our first game (Session 3) on Google+ Hangout. Works pretty sweet, especially with only two of the seven of us within 200 miles of each other (we were in the same room, everyone else on their comps all over the US). This is also the first time the 7 of us have gamed together in probably a decade.
It also has a chat bar on the side, so while I was running someone, the others could chat in-character on the side and occasionally I'd jump in there. Here's a sample of the chatlog with some mundane, RL, and extremely inappropriate banter removed.
The most entertaining part starts about 1/2 of the way down, all while I was running someone else for 10 minutes. When I looked over to see what they were doing, I had no idea what was going on.

Raikov: Ah... it was great. I am from old country of Romania. I was UFC champion.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Romania? Wow. Interesting.
Seiran: Hard to believe that that body does hard hand to hand combat.
Seiran: Looks like a pleasure model AxH 40599 model from Solvenx Corp.
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Hrmf! Hand to hand is not about body... is about mind.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: The last guy said that too.
Seiran: So, what are your qualifications?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Okay, so here's the deal. Memory is little fuzzy. But in early days before TITANS, the Eastern Europe Defense Force enlists me for emergency service.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Do you have proof of that?
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: I am security consultant and trouble shooter. You find trouble i shoot it.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Ok, for security what type of security do you provide? Are you a detective? Are you an accountant?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Of course not. Earth was destroyed. I was killed by a disassembling nanoswarm while fighting against a guerrilla army in Lithuania.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Well then, I'll have to take you on your word. Well that leaves it up to negotiation then. What are your common rates for employment for security?
Karl (Raikov)
Do you have blueprints for some basic combat gear?
Ian (Serian)
Depends on our contractual agreement.
Do you currently have any appropriation and acquisition commensory gear?
Karl (Raikov)
Here is what I say; you supply some armor and weepons. I do job for you. After job over, I keep gear as payment. And if do well, maybe you put in good word for me on Guanxi.
Ian (Serian)
Do you have access to any gear that would allow the both of you to sustain fire?
So you have no gear whatsoever is what you are saying?
You must be new to your sleeve
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: are you blind little man? I am fully equipped
Karl (Raikov)
No. I just escape from slut house.
Ian (Serian)
Indeed. Indeed for the both of you
So. Your payment will be the gear provided. But that will be for the both of you unless there is better than satisfactory performance
Karl (Raikov)
Oh my performance will be satisfactory all right.
Ian (Serian)
Satisfactory performance will include not creating an incident like New Sicily
If it is anything like New Sicily, there will be payment needed for the appropriations committee.
Karl (Raikov)
Is deal.
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: my performance is always satisfactory. no one said i was not to cause collateral damage to whore house
Karl (Raikov)
Missile attack was not our fault. We were bystanders.
Ian (Serian)
Does Raikov speak for you Ishmael?
Are you agreeing to terms of contract?
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: there is not a dull moment around Raikov so for the moment yes
Karl (Raikov)
What is Job?
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: The job is simply keeping any hostile engagements during my business meeting separate from my acquisitions
Karl (Raikov)
Ah, so standard babysit operation.
Ian (Serian)
That does not mean sending rockets, rails the size of apartment buildings and other explosives into or around me. Within a 2 mile radius
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: It means that you have to completely refrain from being violent for a two hour period of time. The business man that won a war without firing a shot is better than the general that killed millions
Seiran: If we fire a shot, we have begun the losing retreat.
Seiran: Also, during the meeting, I need a full detail analysis of any and all resources for allocation.
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov to Seiran: Da.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: You will obtain a 3.754% valuable resource distribution and appropriations rebate.
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: No more than 3.754% violence. Got it.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Our 8.429% Variable resource-able rate will turn into a compounded Cash Deposit of the lead operations manager to dispense at my leisure after the Expien Meeting
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: gives the other two a confused look
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: I want to be absolutely clear. There should be only 2.398% Violence allowed. If the rates get over 5%, the variable resource-able rate will be ......
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: <private to Raikov> what the heck is this fool talking about?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: <private to Ishmael> This is sophisticated business talk.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: THAT IS A 9% INCREASE IN VIOLENCE
Seiran: That is a whopping 1.963% decrease in resource re-allocation!?!?!?!
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: You know very well that there is at LEAST a 6% variable violence buffer.
Ian (Serian)
4.587%
Richard (Ishmael)
better make that at least 10% or i cannot guarantee your morph will not remain unpunctured
Ian (Serian)
Seiran: Can you do better than a 9% violence variable rate?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Stop splitting hairs. If you want results you have to plan for at least 7-11% violence variable rate.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: If we keep it under 10% then we get a 19% re-insurement policy re-imbursement
Seiran - Dave's character: Can you keep it under 9%?
Dave (Hacron)
No, I cannot
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Hacron: Better?
Seiran -> Raikov: Now we are negotiating.
Dave (Hacron)
I can promise anywhere between 9-99% guaranteed violence
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: If required I will always deliver violence. Same-day service.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Hacron: Our objective at this Expin Meeting is to keep the acquisition and appropriations profit margin above 15%. What can assure us?
Dave (Hacron)
I can assure success
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: Can you make an assurance for profit margin?
Seiran - Hacron: What are your proxy rates?
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: can assure a survival margin. that is more important
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Of course. My service is also 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Ishmael: We are immortal reskin. Survival is all around us. Economy is the new death.
Seiran - Raikov: We do not use wet naps
Dave (Hacron)
Hacron -> Serian rates depend on work required of me.
Richard (Ishmael)
Ishmael: Losing a quality morph is expensive
Ishmael: Not to mention the cost of resleeving
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Hacron: I require resource appropriation and acquisition rate of 15% or better. I need violence variable of maximum of 78%. I need a tele-proxy security of 86.345% with a variability of 10% in either direction for all
Seiran - Ishmael: Not if the company is paying for it.
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Okay a 9-99% violence rate translates to at least a 35% contribution to success scenario. Ishmael's 85% protection rate is another 15%. This is a 50% success BEFORE factoring in variable assist ratio.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: I need to make sure that the profit margin stays within 15%. Can you assure that
Seiran - Raikov: Ishmael's Protection cannot be assured above 50%.
Karl (Raikov)
We are looking at a a 75% success ratio that yields a 30% profit margin. A 15% is almost guarenteed.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: And no.. the 9-99% violence rate is not negotiable. It is not acceptable.
Dave (Hacron)
I would assume the people generally recieving the 9-99% dont find it acceptable either
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: Your contract will be written and sent to you within 2.4589 seconds. Please write and respond within 9 seconds.
Karl (Raikov)
(I sign that s***.)
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: Personally I find that I can handle a 60% violence ratio easy.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Hacron: If you can assure the resource variable rate, then I don't care what happens with the violence.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: Now, if you keep the violence rate down and the resource acquisition high, then we can easily afford you better sleeves.
Seiran - Ishmael: Now sir, what are your qualifications for the employment of high explosives and plasma discharge vehicular mods?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: I will spray my acquisition all over your face for a combat kit and a good revue.
Mike(Bose)
Well, I guess you already know I'm looking for work. I have no exp with explosive, except if you're talking info explosions...
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov: I have handeled a lot more difficult transaction, I assure you.
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Raikov: Like hamsters?
Karl (Raikov)
Raikov; da. Except, you know uplifts?
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Hacron: Can you assure the resource allocation rate of 15% with a variable of 2.5% of 2 weeks?
Ian (Serian)
Seiran - Ishmael: How did you guys survive? Serious? How do you ever negotiate contracts?
Dave (Hacron)
Hacron-Seiran: sure
