I started out with two Agents and planned two more. I then rescued three in my first two missions, and spontaneously created about fifteen more over the past four or five months, whom I still need to write missions/publish interludes for - both solo and paired up.
Not to mention that I've got at least one planned co-write with two other people, and probably more if the negotiations dont fall through.
...I was going somewhere with this, I swear... Oh, yeah. Basically, partner up your Agents as you please, co-write as you please, etc. There are no rules about how Agents work, and there are occasional teams of PPC writers - for example, as others have said, Jay and Acacia themselves, and Trojie and Pads. Others have teamed up on occasion, too - I recall Rilwen and Lycaenion doing a piece a while back, and I seem to end up co-writing a lot of interludes for my gang with Kgarrett.
Okay, rambly rambling ending now.

I keep meaning to have one of my Agents meet up with a DoSAT person at some point - Agent Nat Freidar, who's actually rather gifted with electronics. Narcolepsy seems like fun. :P

That's the purchase screen. And if you want to see some examples, the heroic fa/tg/uys on 4chan's /tg/ did an assessment of the thing a while back.

Be warned: this thing is most DEFINITELY NSFW. And also NSFB. The fa/tg/uy snarking helps, but it still hurts.

Is it a matter of not liking the agents you have? by

You could always create a few more agents yourself.
I started out with one agent, and I have four now. I still like my first agent couple the best. They have excellent chemisty. Or it could just be that the fandoms I've put the other agents in are just not that exciting to write missions about.

It's a legendary ordeal on /tg/. But even worse is Black Tokyo, which is similar yet with about half as much again the potency.

The Robe of Redundancy causes the wearer to talk constantly about whatever topic they find most interesting and repeat every sentence 1d10 times. I could only think "Hey, I do that anyway, and I don't need a magical item to do it!" I should probably have been offended, but that was about the only potentially-offensive item of which I'm pretty sure the writer didn't notice the potential offense, so all I could do was laugh.

I started writing two agents of my own, but quite frankly, it got boring, and the only missions I've managed are co-writes. It's really just a question of what will get your missions done, and if you can find someone to write with.

You don't need to have two agents- just one is fine if you want to write a solo agent, and some people do write in pairs; the Grand Example here being Jay and Acacia, and a more recent example being Pads and Trojie.
You can find someone else to cowrite missions with if you like, or just do solo.

Supposing that I was quite lazy for a PPC agent, and though having created two agents, was loath to put them together. For my first mission (I'm allowed to ask for permission this Friday, woohoo), would I be allowed to solicit two other, already existing agents to co-author two different stories with me while I remedy the situation? Would I be allowed to keep on of these two agents purely for cowriting with another, or both?
In short, am I required to have my own partners for them?
