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

Would anyone be interested in an agent mailbox game? by

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? -

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.

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

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. =]

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

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. =]

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! -

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. {= )

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?

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.

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. ^_^
