Has anyone made a google drive sheet to use in hangout play?

Just an idea, I’d like to know if it could work.

Let’s say I have ten friends . Each of them is a different character , but they all decide to be part of the same crew .

Now , one evening maybe there are some friends , and we decided to play a score .

The next evening , with different friends , we make another score . This way you could keep tied to the same crew and the same game different players and allow a game in the long run , independently of the availability of all the friends for each night .

Would it work ?

Yesterday our group (Simone Micucci Domenico Marino Nikitas Thlimmenos ) tried the  game and I have some question.

Sorry in advance for my poor english. I hope you’ll understand.

  

1. Every obstacle has to have a danger attached, right?, that I have to face if a doesnt’ roll a full succes.

2. The “on point”/backup mechanic works only during the operations or even if two players gather informations before the operations?

3. Does the the “on point”/backup mechanic apply at a flashback action during the execution of a plan? Example: I failed to lockpick the door and have to face the danger in the form of a guard coming by. Another player, even if not “on point” can do a Flashback action in which he has bribed the guard?

4. The 4/5 result in Controlled (-1 level in effects), means that if I roll a Complete effects I have to count it as a Partial?

5 Flashback scene: the danger in a Flashback scene has to deal with the past (during the flashback scene) or it can be a danger in the present?

6. The danger has to be focused on the PG or on the NPC too? 

(Example: the player consort with an ally to convince him to give the group a secret map. The danger could be “Someone will beat/murder your ally because has given away the map?”

   

I’ve some problem thinkin about the possible danger of an obstacle.

If the players have to deal with a complex lock to enter in a room (and not a trap, like the one in the example of play), which kind of danger can I create? 

It can’t be “the lock brokes” because it will be to negate their victory.

It has to be directly connected with the obstacle or can be something else? 

Ok, I’ve a question (maybe a silly question) 

When the players roll for Gather information, they can choose any actions they like (that fit the fiction) or it’s a kind of special roll made without adding the action dots?
