As for an example I thought it'd be as easy as rolling a D-100, but it turns out that I'm an idiot and that doesn't account for decimals, so I'm still ironing out the details.
Let me put it like this. Lawfuls hacking unlawfuls are the most likely direction (which is natural), followed by vice versa. UN is currently involved in a big multi-party conspiracy RP against organisations who, with the exception of DWR, would benefit significantly from this system, since it's basically only UN on the UN side, and multiple other parties with multiple hack attempts each. So there'd need to be a balance system, or I'll rely on third party text encryption whenever using the system. We're already in a difficult situation to manage - fresh mechanics would need to give everyone an even foot in the game.
