Greetings Gentlebeings,
As most of you are aware, we often have opportunities [Seminars, Shore Leaves, & Interactives] for members and associates of the Crucible Sector Rebel Alliance Special Forces [Sparks player characters] to perform actions that are not directed by the Rebel Alliance [Personal Initiatives]. They may take a vacation, look for bounties, go shopping, go gambling, participate in races, take on side jobs, do modifications on their gear or vehicles, or look for contacts or information - pretty much whatever they feel like doing.
The better you plan for your off time, and the farther in advance you notify Command [the head judge for the event, and the judge for your PI], the more can be accomplished in the time allotted with a higher chance of success. With proper planning and communication, with the proper choice of travel agent [judge for your PI], you may be amazed at what you can get done.
Over recent years, I have noticed that a lot of our operatives are not making optimum use of this time. They do not have any idea of what they want to do and/or they do not put together any kind of plan to communicate to their travel agent in advance of the time. Their travel agents end up having to do everything last minute and will very little preparation.This means that they end up wasting a lot of opportunities for fun, adventure, improvement, and profit. It also means that they have a much lower chance of success at whatever they are doing.
With this being said, I would like to offer a couple of services for members and associates of the CSRASF.
1) Planning Services - If you know what you want to accomplish, I can assist in putting together a detailed plan to make it easier for you to accomplish it.
2) Goal Services - If you are looking for something to do, I can assist in finding things for you to do and help you with a plan for doing so. These may be tasks for other members of the CSRASF who do not have the time to get them accomplished themselves (in which case there will be compensation for yourself built in), or I may be able to work with you to get you an idea of things you would enjoy doing or want to do.
In any case, costs for these services will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
If interested, please send a direct message [i.e. NOT a reply to the group account] to entropy169 @ gmail.com (without the spaces) and please include the following information:
Your Name [please give both character and player names]
Your Species [your character's race, not the player]
What services you are requesting, in as much detail as possible.
What skills and assets you have that may be of use in possible endeavors.
What time period you are going to be looking to perform the actions during [what convention(s)]
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
General Van Velen-Asgara
[The above was an in-character posting open to all PC's in the Sparks campaign. This is not for any specific convention, but is an open ended offer. I just ask that you not wait till just before a convention to request assistance. Plans can be made as far in advance as desired, but pre-planned PI Requests must be submitted to the Head Judge and your PI Judge by a MINIMUM of 1 week, so I need to be contacted well in advance of that if you want to have a good plan together. Thank you. Jeremy Guillemette]
