Would anyone be interested in an agent mailbox game? by SeaTurtle on 2015-05-19 16:36:00 UTC Reply

I did this thing on the Other Board two years ago and it had some positive reception and I thought that with the influx of new agents (and the development of current characters) it might be a fun thing to do again. Here's a link to the original thread for reference.

The rules (copy-pasted from the original thread) are as follows:

"This is an AU game in which we get to have a Q&A session with some of our favourite PPC agents.

We'll be using Huinesoron's amended mailbox style for this game, meaning that the format is now like this...

Other Board setup post

>BoarderName1's Agents' Mailbox (nm)
>>Question(s) for BN1's Agent1
>>>Answer(s) to the above
>>Question(s) for BN1's Agent2 and Agent3
>>>Answer(s) to the above
>>Another question for BN1's Agent1
>>>Answer to the above

>BoarderName2's Agents' Mailbox (nm)

...in order to avoid stretching the thread to infinity and beyond."

Do we have any takers?

You mean Skar and the Permission Givers, right? by Voyd on 2015-05-21 03:45:00 UTC Reply

I think people just can't resist the urge to mess with the Notary. Playing with fire? Yes. Fun? Also yes.

I do not mean Skarm. No disrespect to him or anyone who likes his missions, taste is subjective, but his style is very much not to my taste. It feels... Iunno, forced is probably the best word I can come up with. His prose is stiff and kind of bloated, and the interesting ideas he has can often get lost in it.

But hey, like I said, taste is subjective. I'm sure there's plenty wrong with my missions (PC's a good person to ask about that. =] )

All those high and mighty muckety-mucks are so full of themselves and their petty little grievances with each other. It drives me nuts.

So why not ask 'em questions? by SeaTurtle on 2015-05-20 01:08:00 UTC Reply

If you notice that someone isn't getting the attention they deserve, shine the spotlight on them!

Because I don't know enough about the characters to ask. by Scapegrace on 2015-05-20 10:34:00 UTC Reply

Any questions I have wouldn't be based on a sufficient understanding of the character; unlike the Notary, I don't exist solely to alienate people. =]

You can always turn that on its head. by Desdendelle on 2015-05-20 16:34:00 UTC Reply

Other words, you can ask questions in order to know the characters better.

Allow me to clarify. by Scapegrace on 2015-05-20 17:09:00 UTC Reply

I don't want to look stupid; chances are a preliminary reading of the character will result in my asking a question that has already been asked and answered elsewhere. I can't read every PPC story, after all; for one, I joined fairly late on. =]

Hm... by Desdendelle on 2015-05-20 18:03:00 UTC Reply

Considering that Ixi's 'question' for Agent!Des was offering him a cuppa coffee...
-Vein throbs-
I don't think people will mind you asking basic questions, so to speak.
Why not ask my agents? by Voyd on 2015-05-20 17:55:00 UTC Reply

They all have fairly limited appearances; most of what's "officially" known about them is in the missions and interludes.

And part of the fun is getting into character!

For even more fun... by Voyd on 2015-05-20 01:16:00 UTC Reply

Do it in-character! Surely Herr Doktor and Wobbles have things they'd be interested in knowing.

The Notary... eeeehhhhhhnot so much.

I'm in! by Neshomeh on 2015-05-19 22:45:00 UTC Reply

Just as soon as I can set up my agents' new mailbox. I may not be able to reply right away, though, since I have rehearsal tonight. I also work some weird hours this week, so if I go silent for long stretches at unpredictable times, I'm not dead, just trying to make a buck. I'll write replies as quickly as I can. {= )

This entire thread is absolutely amazing. I'm having so much fun thinking of various questions!

You and me both. (nm) by Voyd on 2015-05-19 20:42:00 UTC Reply

Make that three. (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-05-19 20:49:00 UTC Reply

We are live on the Other Board! by SeaTurtle on 2015-05-19 18:23:00 UTC Reply

Hop in and have fun!

Ooh, yes. by DawnFire on 2015-05-19 17:49:00 UTC Reply

I remember this. And I'm definitely in again.

It might help that this time I've had Permission for longer than 13 days, and people have actually met some of my agents here and there. And I just posted an interlude, so there's that. Recent experience and all.

...yes, I'm definitely in. Wow. I had actually had Permission for less than two weeks last time we did this.

Also, seconding Ixi's question: will this be on the main Board, or on the Other Board?

Count me in. by Desdendelle on 2015-05-19 17:00:00 UTC Reply

I think Des got some development since last time and the other three are interesting characters in their own right, eheh.
Why the hay not... although, do I qualify? (nm) by Matt Cipher on 2015-05-19 16:46:00 UTC Reply

Un, probably not? by Iximaz on 2015-05-19 16:56:00 UTC Reply

I mean, you don't have any agents for us to ask. And even if you came up with some, we wouldn't have any idea of what they're like of have any reason to, well, care enough about them to ask questions because we've never seen them in action.

Yeah, thought so... by Matt Cipher on 2015-05-19 16:59:00 UTC Reply

Oh, well, I'm this close from posting the Permission request, so my time will eventually come. :3

Nothing says you can't ask the agents questions, though. (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-05-19 17:49:00 UTC Reply

Who what me huh? by Huinesoron on 2015-05-19 16:45:00 UTC Reply

Well, if you're using my amended mailbox style, I'm in! Man, I'm pretty awesome coming up with that amended mailbox style. Apparently.

At least I have actual active agents this time round. ^_^

Sounds like fun! by Voyd on 2015-05-19 16:44:00 UTC Reply

So this is kind of a fourth wall mail slot? You can count me in!

I saw this a while ago and kind of wanted to participate, but I never thought it would make a comeback! *cheers*

Oh, would this also be taking place on the Other Board? (nm) by Iximaz on 2015-05-19 17:27:00 UTC Reply
