Mission 042904 Journals
I must say, after reading over the journals posted for this mission, that everyone is doing a extremely wonderful job with their characters and writing.
These journals are the best you guys have posted!
Keep up the great work!

Characters
OK, Pinnacle Inc. is allowing players (EXPERIENCED PLAYERS) to create more than one character for the game.
The new rule is that the player must determine which character they wish to play for the next mission before the current mission is over. This way the proper character name can be added to the Mission Assignment.
Also, players with more than one character could make each character have a different profession (position) than the other character(s) they have created.
For example: Character A is a Bounty hunter, but they want to play a smuggler. So Character B will be a smuggler. But what if they want to play a slicer? Character C can be the slicer character.
Only one character can be played at a time. That way there will be less confusion for everyone playing.
Anyone confused or have something to add or say about this?

Re: Pinnacle Inc. Headquarters
So basically what you are saying is, we can create some more characters to play (at different times and for different assignments) in Pinnacle?
We can have multiple characters only in the same game...

Re: Pinnacle Inc. Headquarters
You can have as many characters created as you like, but you can only play one of them at a time.
One character per mission, however, there may be a chance to play a second one depending on specific conditions, which will be determined by me at the time.
So, you can create ten characters, but you won't be playing more than one at a time. If you have ten characters (which I would NOT recommend, due to development reasons), you could play a different character for each mission out of the year, if we only have ten missions in a year.
NPCs are not included in this. You will still be able to play NPCs on an as needed basis, along with your character.
Did I add to the confusion or did I clear it up?

Re: Pinnacle Inc. Headquarters

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If I get this wrong, let me know.
What you are saying is that we create characters that can be used in other games other than Pinnacle Inc.? Sorta like cross-platform characters?
For example: Character A is played in Pinnacle Inc. & so is Character B, but Character B is also played in "Rouge Jedi" (game does not exist at this time).
Though some of us may have old characters from games that have since passed on, I don't recommend using them. There may be some cases where this will work, but in most cases it won't fit properly without being awkward. It is best to create completely new characters. Doing this will make things much easier, believe it or not. Why is it easier to do this? Because trying to tie in an old character into a different game is harder than making a new character that is tailored for the game.
Another way to take what you said would be: "Can we play multiple characters during missions"
The answer, in mostly all cases, would be "no".
I hope I got it right with the first explanation.

Re: Pinnacle Inc. Headquarters
I posted the OOM that Grey and I did with the transcripts since it fills some of the gap between episodes and will not have a log written for it.
If you want OOMs posted as transcripts instead of doing a log from them, then please send me a copy and request that I edit it for posting and post it for you.
Thanks.

Pinnacle Inc. FINALE???
OK, I've discussed most of this with you guys already. But I figured I would post a few points that might be important for you to know about this subject.
1. The last mission for Pinnacle Inc. will take place near the end of 2006 (unless something happens that it needs to be in 2007). I'm expecting it to end before Christmas sometime, so we can have a break before New Years to prepare for what's next.
2. ALL of our created characters will be involved. I know I mentioned this, but I also want to mention that any NPC Pinnacle employee you played will need to be included. I'm not talking about NPCs we have come across or fought with or against. I mean employees, like Bill Hayward and etc. For me, this means going back thru the missions and picking out all the ones that I have played in the past. It's going to be crazy for me, but I know how to work them into the story.
3. We aren't going to be playing ALL of our characters each night of the final mission. One week we will play only some of them, and the following week, we will play some of the others, and so on. I don't want us to get lost because we are too busy trying to keep track of all of the players and what's going on in the stories. This way of playing could make the mission longer to play, but it will be well worth it.
4. This will NOT be the end of Pinnacle Inc. but just as we know it to be. Consider it a change of scenery for our characters. We will still have a game to play Thursdays. It will be called something different, and have a slightly new feel to it. I'm hoping it will be more entertaining to play.
5. Here's the big one. You have a choice to make before the end of the final mission. In the new game, you can play only ONE of your current characters (or create a whole new one). The rest will be considered dead. Why? Well, with the new game, we won't need extra characters. You would end up having to play all of your characters all of the time, if you didn't choose which to keep. That can be quite taxing if you get into a complex story, which we will eventually. So, think now of what you want for your characters, and decide who you like to play most.
So, 5 big points to consider before we finish up next year. I have several option of what the new game will be, so you can ask what it will be like, but I'll not have an answer for you until sometime during the final mission.
Enjoy!

Re: Pinnacle Inc. FINALE???
OK, since I last posted here, things have changed considerably. The final mission is underway and we are sticking to playing one character and not two.
Also, the new game's scenario has changed quite a bit. It went from working for an unseen employer to being self employed. That made a big difference in how the final mission for Pinnacle is going to turn out.
On an unrelated note.
1. I will probably be a bit late on the 17th. I have a convention that I am helping with for the weekend and I don't know when the setup on Thursday will be done.
2. Thursday the 24th is a holiday and there won't be any games played that night.
