FAQ
A Certain Player wrote:Can the QTs be used at any time?
Yes, you may start communicating with whomever you are allowed from the moment you get the link to the QTs you have access to; after that, you only need to shut up when you die.
Seraphim wrote:Mod: Can we choose the same ability twice? Or can each ability only be chosen once?
Each seperately listed Account may be chosen only once. Note that in those cases where one Account is listed multiple times (like, in this case, the tracker), that particular ability may be chosen as many times (with the upper limit of 3, naturally).
(feel free to ask anything by PM, AIM or MSN, and I will reply to you. I will only add the answer to this post if you give me permission to do so.)

Roles and alignments have been distributed. Once a majority of players have confirmed (8 of 14), the thread will be opened and the Morning Meeting of Day 1 will start.
It has come to my attention through a contact in Growth Personnel Consulting that the Misanthropolis office of GAA has been infiltrated by Evil Corp. agents, with plans of taking over. We cannot have this foolishness. Can you please lynch the idiots?
On another note: the R.O.P.L. pitch is in two weeks, and I personally want it to happen. I don't want this Evil Corp. bullshit to interfere. And while you deal with this mess I told Client Services to give you only small local accounts to handle. I'm sure you can multitask.
These are the prospective clients we will discuss in today's morning meeting:
NW Escort Service
wants a simple ad campaign to popularize themselves. They don't need anything particularly fancy, in fact they explicitly asked for a streamlined concept--they want to emphasize that their escorts are beautiful, respectable and have perfect grace.
Holmes & Marlowe PI Firm
want two parallel-running campaigns with two different concepts. Mr. Holmes has expressed a particular request that it be shown that they solve puzzles, and Mr. Marlowe is a big film noir buff.
Lou from
Lou's Downtown Gun Shop
wishes to place a couple of billboards indirectly advertising his shop, and would like an innovative approach that doesn't break any laws. This might be a nice challenge for both our lawyers and our creative teams.
Daedalus Bus Manufacturing Co.
, a newly founded company, would like to break into the public transportation business, and needs marketing research, professional advice, and a possible ad campaign for billboards and television.

The Account Services Department may choose up to 3 (three) accounts. This will happen in the following manner: each Account Services Department employee may vote for one account, until an account reaches majority vote; this will happen three times. "None" is an option. Note that the Head of Account Services is a double voter for this phase.
It is now Morning Meeting of Day 1. Everyone may post, but only Account Services players have votes.

The CEO's power is one-shot, regardless of circumstances. If they've used the ability up already, and the Creative Director dies, the role dies with them.
Goat wrote:What happens if both the CEO and Creative director are dead? How are roles distributed?
Knew I forgot to include something. Updating rules. If the Creative Director and the CEO both die without the CEO having used their one-shot ability to promote a new Creative Director, a one time public vote may elect a new Creative Director. If this player dies as well, the role stays dead and the creative department loses all active abilities.

The Bus Driver cannot target themselves.
Seraphim wrote:
Mod: Will the creative teams be able to privately PM you their decisions without their partner's knowledge or do both members need to reach a consensus?
Yes, unless their partner also sends in a choice. It is therefore enough that they reach a consensus on who uses the ability.

Yos wrote:One question; mod, can the CEO accidently be killed if he uses his appointment ability on the PGO and/or if he gets redirected to the PGO by the bus driver? Can he end up getting his appointment ability re-directed to someone else by the PGO, appointing the wrong person by mistake?
Yes to the PGO, no to the redirection.

Note: the one-shot abilities of the CEO and the Creative Director are Immediate Actions and cannot be blocked or redirected.
Regarding the CEO/CD, Adel is correct.
Yos wrote:So, the bus driver has to TARGET two players, and if one of them is the PGO, then the bus driver would die, right?
For targeting purposes, only the first target of the Bus Driver is taken into account.

No comment.
SensFan has been prodded; vollkan hasn't picked up his role and alignment yet. If he doesn't pick it up until tomorrow, he will be replaced. CKD's V/LA is noted.

That's...a very interesting thing for the mod to "no comment" on. It usually just goes without saying in a smalltown game. I'm wondering how much I should read into that.
It's... a very interesting thing to be asked in a Smalltown game. I don't see the relevance. For the record, it was random.
Thanks (not really) for being so orderly during morning meeting. It is always a pleasure to see the department you are responsible for act so immaturely. Hopefully our hard-working CEO doesn't mind your childish antics, and the Head of Account Services has his Head of Assprobing Services up his own so much that he wouldn't really notice anything you did.
As always, those who have assignments can find the briefs in their mailboxes, attachments and all. If you haven't gotten any, think about what you did wrong and try to lick my ass more thoroughly next time. That, or try doing some work for a change.
As agreed in the meeting which you very thoroughly trashed, we are preparing one campaign each for Holmes & Marlowe, Daedalus and Lou's Guns. So get your asses to work.
Ever so lovingly,
Scot Many
It is now Working Hours of Day 1; the Morning subphase ends on July 13, 12PM EST, and any actions submitted before then resolve at that time simultaneously.
As you are likely aware, today saw the tragic demise of a fellow account exec. Seraphim, as he was lovingly called, apparently fell out of a window on the sixth floor, falling spine-first onto the rail of the stairs leading up to the entrance of our offices. It can't be said yet whether it was an accident or not; in other circumstances I would say that rumours should not be allowed to spread, but really--we're a lynch mob. Let's get the fuckers who did this.
With undying love
FaerieLord, CEO
Seraphim, Account Executive, killed Day 1

As I'm sure you're aware, since you idiots did this, I have just been fired. Just so you know, I never liked you, and every one of you is an annoying, self-absorbed, pretentious jerk. Suck it, losers!
Ever so lovingly,
FaerieLord, ex-CEO

These are the prospective clients we'll be discussing today:
Holmes and Marlowe PI Firm
are back with a request for another campaign. Apparently they liked our previous pitch so much that they don't even want to wait until the success of the last campaign is evident. Dumbasses.
Thugs'R'Us Security
is opening up a Misanthropolis branch, and they want us to show people just how large their muscles are. This should be a nice, challenging job.
Protective Technologies
has made a new bulletproof vest and wants to broaden its horizons. The brief says that they want to make it clear that in today's scum infested world only a bulletproof vest can make a household truly safe. Lolza.
Lou's Downtown Gun Shop
wants us to make a campaign for their bargain shotgun shells. Again, Lou wants something legal as well as something that's relevant to the shop. And he also wants a seperate campaign for the new batch of 9mm handguns he got shipped. If this weren't Misanthropolis, I wonder if Lou could order three seperate ad campaigns in short succession...
Meeting at 9 AM. Be there or be fired.
Hugz,
vollkan, Head of Account Services

Thank you everyone for your contributions today. I'd like to say, as Head of Account Services, which is not a title to be taken lightly, that I was satisfied with all of you today. Apart from our beloved Mr. Hoek, who was considerably late, although on par with his past performances, everyone's been doing their job well, and that is a compliment to me as Head of Account Services.
I'm particularly excited to see what our creative wizards can do with Protective Technologies. This I say in full Head of Account Services seriousness. Lolza.
Hugz
vollkan, Head of Account Services
It is now Morning of Day 2 Working Hours. Morning will end at 6 PM EST July 31.

Adel will be replaced as per his request.
Note the change to Rule (4):
(4) I don't mind profanity, but respect your fellow players. As a mod, I will only take action if the offended party PMs me with their objections; I request that any such PMs include the list of offending posts, so that I can make a decision.
As such, if I don't get any PM, I will go with the assumption that there has been no offense. Since this present issue seems to have been resolved with Adel's replacement, I will take no further action unless you PM me with specific complaints.
Guys, we're another man down. I was about to go consult T.D.C. about an idea I had for Thugs'R'Us, but, well, he's not in a creative mood. Like, there's a paper spike sticking out of his forehead. The sight's completely ruined my trip.
Muah muah
