ASG

Assertive Security Group (pronounced /æsk/) is the organization founded by The Gang in September 2021 during Change the Channel with the various funds acquired in the previous gigs.

• Poach Corpzoners, Beavers, Movers and turn them into Edgerunners;

Wealth Distribution

• Retainers to Edgerunners that work off-gig on-site at ASG Headquarters (Heywood) or elsewhere;
• Retainers to a few loyal Fixers + 10% on individual gigs
• ASG tax (20%) on all gig total profits, redistributed as profits to The Gang and funneled back into ASG for upgrades
• Edgerunners's pay, 70% of the gig's total profits, split equally as a rule, with exceptions for Critical Roles (1.5 shares instead of regular 1) and Support (0.5 shares instead of regular 1 + retainer); Edgerunners get paid 1k each minimum (if the profits aren't enough to cover it, see ASG tax) on a succesful gig
