超链者网络通过无所不在的矩阵和随处可见的通讯链，由志同道合者组成的社交网络成为70年代全球社会的一个重要组成部分。以矩阵为媒介的新社会环境每天都在形成，消失，在一周后又再次崛起。随着无线矩阵的引入，人们对在线圈子、论坛、聊天室或门户的参与急剧增加。超链者从这种连接中取得了巨大的优势，因为全球各地的超链者都能够借此与可能永远没有机会见面的人取得联系。
随着2070年超链者的正式“登场“，人们对他们的能力变得更加”了解”。尽管遭到了其他网络用户的排斥和偏见，以及企业和猎头所采取的防范措施，但那些想要分享知识、教导他人或从其他经验丰富的超链者那里寻求启发的超链者正在利用矩阵——他们的自然环境——作为彼此交流的媒介。
超链者网络是一种虚拟的社交平台，超链者可以通过专门的网站、兴趣小组、聊天板，有时甚至是面对面的会议进行互动。虽然这些网站不需要严格地与超链者相关, 也可以专注于其他主题(交易、俱乐部、枪)或具有大量正常(非超链者)成员的特征数据库，但它们总有一个特殊的成员区, 通常由只有超链者和其他共鸣实体可以看到的共鸣签名或共鸣链接来进行标记，在那里，超链者可以在没有黑客和公司下属窥探的情况下私密交流。这个会员专区是真正的共鸣网络的交汇处。

TECHNOMANCER NETWORKS
With the omnipresence of the Matrix and the high frequency of commlinks, social networking of like-minded people has become an important factor in the global society in the ’70s. New Matrix-mediated social environments form every day, disappear, and rise again a week later. The participation of people in online circles, forums, chats, or folksonomy has drastically increased with the introduction of the wireless Matrix. Technomancers draw a huge advantage from this connectivity, which allows technomancers from anywhere on the globe to get in contact who probably would never have the chance to meet in person.
With the official “coming out“ of technomancers in 2070, people have been more ”free-giving” with their abilities. Despite rejection and prejudice by other online users and precautions taken by corporations and head-hunters, technomancers who want to share knowledge, teach others, or seek enlightenment from experienced technomancers are using the Matrix—their natural environment—as a medium to communicate with each other.
Technomancer networks are virtual social platforms on which technomancers can interact via dedicated sites, SIGs, chatboards, and sometimes even eye-to-eye meetings. While these sites don’t have to be strictly technomancer-related and can focus on any other topic (trid, clubs, guns) or feature databases with a great number of normal (non-technomancer) members, they always have a special members area, often marked by a resonance signature or link that only technomancers and resonance beings can see, where technomancers can communicate in privacy without hackers and corporate henchmen snooping around. This members-only area is where the true resonance network meets.
一般来说，有两种不同类型的共鸣网络：集会和公会。
没有固定成员的临时网络被称为集会。参与者的数量和特定的个人可能每次集会都有所不同。它们通常是出于参与者的共同利益而临时形成的(例如，由于深潜、共享的深潜任务或回声学习的过程)，而且往往是自发成立的。其成员不一定有任何相似的观点或社会约束。集会的举办信息通常在一个只有超链者才能找到的专门网站上，距离集会实际举行前很短的时间内公布。
公会是类似于魔法组织的稳定协会。尽管公会成员仅在网上见面，可能生活在不同的大陆，并且可能从未见过对方，但他们感到彼此联系，这不仅是因为他们的能力，还因为他们拥有相似的目标或理念。公会是超链者社区的中心，允许超链者分享经验和资源、练习共鸣能力并寻求指导。
虽然所有公会都主要致力于促进对共鸣的了解，但大多数网络也有一个驱动性的议程，不管是虚拟的还是其他的，它将思想开放的已浮现用户团结在一个共同的目标下。除了超链者，共鸣网络还包括一些非超链者的支持者，他们因为共同的议程而与网络结盟。众所周知，一些非超链者的超人类主义者或觉醒集会和网络成瘾者会帮助超链者找到他们的道路。

PARTIES AND GUILDS
In general, there two different types of resonance networks: parties and guilds.
Temporary networks, called parties, don’t have fixed members. Both the number of participants and the specific individuals may vary each time. They usually form temporarily out of mutual interest of the people participating (for instance because of submersion, a shared submersion task, or an echo learning session) and are often set up spontaneously. Its members don’t necessarily share any similar views or social binds. Party sessions are usually announced on a dedicated site that only technomancers are able to find, a short time before the meeting actually takes place.
Guilds are stable associations similar to magical groups. Although a guild’s members meet exclusively online, may live on different continents, and possibly have never seen each other in the flesh, they feel connected to each other not only because of their abilities but because they share similar goals or beliefs. Guilds are hubs of technomancer communities that allow technomancers to share experiences and resources, practice with Resonance, and find instruction.
While all guilds are primarily devoted to furthering an understanding of Resonance, most networks also have a driving agenda, virtual or otherwise, that unites Emerged and open-minded users under a common purpose. Apart from technomancers, resonance networks also include a number of non-technomancer supporters who have aligned themselves with the network because of a shared agenda. Some non-technomancer transhumanist or Awakened groups and online junkies have been known to help technomancers find their way.
尽管一些网络倾向于对他们的成员和他们追随的支流较为挑剔，具体取决于他们的议程，重点和方向，但共鸣网络一般倾向于更多的自由和更少的限制。集会——由于他们是临时组织的——没有任何限制，但除了教导和网络深潜之外也没有提供任何益处(第141页)。
为了简单起见，公会网络的限制和资源应该按照 Street Magic 第62-74页所介绍的规则来处理，尽管这些在线团体的性质、目的和结构在本质上是不同的。为了反映这些差异，我们提出了以下基本规则的变化，但我们鼓励GM与玩家一起处理这些关联，使这些规则适配他们的游戏。
超链者公会网络中常见的限制包括出席、理念、服务、保密和有限成员(第66-67页，Street Magic)。然而，保密应被视为隐私，这是由于政府和公司对超链者的迫害而采取的预防措施，反映出该网站或网络不为公众所知是由超链者运营的。
更隐秘或组织化的网络，虽然较为少见，但也可能包括契约、服从和物质链接的限制，后者是每个超链者为深潜任务创建的源代码(第141页)的一部分的抵押性存储。

STRICTURES
While some networks tend to be very selective about their members and the streams they ride, depending on their agenda, focus, and orientation, resonance networks tend in general to be more liberal and less restrictive. Parties—because of their temporary association—have no limitations but provide no benefits except for instruction and network submersion (p. 141).
For simplicity’s sake, the strictures and resources of guild networks should be handled similarly to those of magical groups, based on the rules introduced on pp. 62–74 of Street Magic, even though the nature, purpose, and structures of these online groups are inherently different. To reflect these differences, the following variations to the basic rules are proposed, but gamemasters are encouraged to handle those associations as it fits their game in conjunction with their players.
Typical strictures that can be encountered in technomancer guild networks are Attendance, Belief, Service, Secrecy, and Limited Membership (pp. 66–67, Street Magic). Secrecy should, however, be treated as Privacy, a precaution taken because of technomancer persecution by governments and corporations, reflecting that the site or network is not publicly known to be run by technomancers.
More secretive or organized networks, though rare, might also include Deed, Obedience, and Material Link, the latter of which is the deposit of each technomancer’s own piece of source code, created as part of a submersion task (p. 141).
虽然大多数网络都有一定程度的资源，这些资源是由每个成员的小额捐款(而不是会费)汇集而成，但网络通常不需要太多的资金、设备或软件来维护网站或推动议程。将大多数网络视为拥有低到中等资源的团体(第68页，Street Magic)。如果这个网络是一个大型数据港，或由于其他原因需要更多的资源，那么可以收取捐款或会员费以允许访问其信息。
网络的益处成为超链者网络的一部分可以获得几个固有的益处。虽然公会拥有所有的益处，但临时的集会网络只能获得其中一部分。
网络深潜：想要进行深潜的成员可以向网络申请援助。根据第141页(和第238页，SR4)的规则，网络深潜给予深潜的正常业力成本20%(向上取整)的减免。必须预先准备一个恰当的穿越仪式，并至少有三名其他成员出席。网络中超链者的数量等于超链者通过网络深潜所能达到的最高等级。
教导：通过定期互动和密切的意见交流中获得的熟悉程度，使网络成员在涉及共鸣技能、复合程式或技术的教导检定中获得+3骰池修正，无论超链者的支流是什么。当使用学习回声规则(第145页)时，超链者也可以从网络成员处无需深潜地学习回声。
共鸣域搜寻(仅限公会)：如果成员链接到一个共鸣网络中(参见第143页)，共鸣链接允许网络成员在共鸣域搜寻期间访问一个实例时相互陪伴和彼此帮助。成员必须通过相同的后门进入共鸣域，否则可能在共鸣域的不同区域结束。
网络编织(仅公会，仅当链接在一个共鸣网络中)：如果链接到一个共鸣网络中(第143页)，网络成员可以帮助彼此抵抗在团体网络环境中执行检定的衰褪。与执行检定的超链者在同一节点中出现的每个成员向抵抗衰褪的骰池中添加1个骰子。

NETWORK BENEFITS
There are several benefits intrinsic to being part of a technomancer network. While all are available to guilds, only some are available to temporary party networks.
Network Submersion: Members who want to undergo submersion may petition the network for aid. Network submersion grants a 20 percent reduction (round up) to the normal Karma cost of submersion, per the rules on p. 141 (and p. 238, SR4). An appropriate rite of crossing must be prepared in advance and must be attended by at least three other members. The number of technomancer members in a network equals the maximum grade one can achieve via network submersion.
Instruction: The familiarity gained from regular interaction and close exchange of views grants members of a network a +3 dice pool modifier on Instruction Tests involving Resonance skills, complex forms, or techniques, regardless of the technomancer’s stream. When using the Learning Echoes rule (p. 145), technomancers can also learn echoes from members of a network without submersion.
Resonance Realm Search (Guilds only): If the members are linked in a resonance mesh (see p. 143), the resonance link allows members of the network to accompany and aid one another while visiting an instance during a resonance realm search. Members must access the resonance realms through the same backdoor or may end up in different rooms in the resonance realms.
Netweaving (Guilds only, only if linked in a resonance mesh): If linked in a resonance mesh (p. 143), network members may help each other resist Fading for tests performed in the network environment of the group. Add +1 die to the dice pool to resist Fading for each member who is present in the same node as the technomancer performing the test.
与魔法协会不同，超链者网络的成员之间并非通过业力纽带相联系，而是通过更复杂的方法来链接到彼此。在得到GM的批准后，超链者可以在深潜后建立与网络的共鸣链接(第238页，SR4)，而不是与另一个超链者的链接。这意味着超链者与所有也使用共鸣链接将自己纳入网络的超链者有一个双向的共鸣链接。通过进阶回声强化共鸣链接(147页)和共鸣交换(148页)将共鸣链接升级到网络，可以进一步提高共鸣网络的能力。
搜索并加入网络虽然加入一个超链者网络既不需要检定，也不需要花费业力，但真正找到这个群体却很困难。由于超链者在人口中所占的比例很小，而矩阵中存在的网络数量庞大，所以超链者网络相对来说较为稀少，很难找到。我们鼓励玩家和GM在游戏中扮演超链者寻找这些团体的成员，让超链者角色利用他的人脉和虚拟追踪能力来收集网络位置的线索。
临时的集会网络更容易找到，如果合适的集会已经成立或正在组建(游戏备注：由GM决定)，则可以进行共鸣+数据搜索(8，1天)延续检定来发现它。
