Not that I would be the one to give the official ruling, by melancholicPoet on 2012-03-26 03:15:00 UTC Reply

but it sounds like Benji did the job for us.

I haven't read it myself, and don't plan to, so maybe someone who has would be better qualified to decide.

I don't know either but... by SeaTurtle on 2012-03-26 03:32:00 UTC Reply

...this has great comic potential. After suffering through the entire badfic, the agents get ready to assassinate the Sue when the freelancer comes along and carries out the hit.

Cue one of the agents saying something along the lines of: "We came here for nothing!"

If you wanted to take that idea slightly further, you could then have the assassins confronting the Department of Intelligence agent that assigned the fic to them.

That actually coincides with rule number seven: by SeaTurtle on 2012-03-26 18:13:00 UTC Reply

"7. One thing to remember when sending in a report: 'Do not meddle in the affairs of assassins, for they are heavily armed and quick to anger. And not noticeably subtle.' Send your reports in when you have at least a few plotholes between yourself and any agents intended to receive your missive with mission specs. No matter what the rule is, people DO enjoy shooting the messenger. Or sporking them."

Thank you for drawing my attention to those; I hadn't come across them before (except on the consoles of various agents at the begining of their missions), obviously need to spend a little bit more time clicking through the wiki.

I actually quite like the idea of doing the occasional report myself. Might have to add a DoI staffer to my list of potential agents.

That does have potential... by Techno-Dann on 2012-03-26 05:53:00 UTC Reply

I'd be inclined to go with that or not at all, personally - stealing someone else's kill isn't something we'd do to another PPCer, there's no reason to do it to someone else. (It's not like there's a badfic shortage on, or anything.)
