Corporate Affiliation Options

[Axl]

From my reading, if an Ares affiliate accidentally achieves Spinrad's secondary goal, Spinrad would not approach the character because he is not "an unaffiliated PC".

[LurkerOutThere]

Spinrad will approach with an offer of affiliation. The only reason they would not approach is if the player has gained another NEW affiliation that mission, which is admitedly more of a gameplay thing then a realism thing, but there you go.

"Axl: If an affiliate completes an objective they get the reward detailed in the end of the adventure." - Lurker

Um, yes, I already know that.

Alright but you seem confused on something.

When they are reffering to an unaffiliated PC they are speaking in terms of unaffiliated with that SPECIFIC corporation. The corps are unaware of who is affiliated with other corps. That's why you get fun missions like "Turn in anyone you know to be affiliated with X"

I refer the affiliation system has THE GAME. All the corporation knows that a game is going on and they don't know who is the token affiliated with. Then player that are doing more than one affiliation are just a multiple token in the same game !

Axl--The quote I posted for Affiliations was copied directly from 03-05. If you are seeing something different, please let me know so I can review it. (A Mission number and page reference would help!)

The quote above was 03-05, page 16, Affiliation.

I don't have 05 (In and Out?) but I had a closer look at Everyone's Your Friend. Now I see that there is another section at the end of the Mission as you pointed out.

It would have been helpful to mention this at the intro section to the Mission. In my group, we rotate the GM duties between five of us, and none of us spotted this. We've been missing out on affiliation offers.

I will be running Knight at the Opera this weekend, so I'll be sure to review the secondary goals and offer extra affiliations as appropriate.

just be careful with affiliations, you can get your team into trouble real fast if you focus to much on completing the side mission and not keping your eys on the prize. Rewards can be fantastic fro completing the side missions for your affiliation but at a Con remember their are usually 5-6 other people at the table who are trying to complete the primary run. Don't let your greed mess with the overall fun at the table. You only have 4 hrs to complete the mission use it wisely. Having said that though if the opportunity in the mission arrises to complete your side task take it, you've already sold your soul might as well enjoy the rewards. Nice to be owned. mulitiple affiliations do complicate things try and stick to just one task if you can if the opportunity presents itself though try and go for two. just remember to have fun at the table and include everyone in the Run. After all most of use Convention goers are on vacation, so enjoy
