Hi guys,

You probably want to seriously retcon the following:

Image

In the first instance, Michael Ace is described as a "trillionaire". In the next one, he's now a "billionaire".
Someone suggested that we shouldn't change it, but maybe craft more content around this discrepancy ;)

Well, clearly he spent his trillions of dollars on diabolical plans between the two quests being finished :p

Hrm. Somehow with two years between the writing of those two quests, the size of his fortune must have slipped my mind. Can't believe I could mess that up!

I blame the housing market.

And dirty hippies.

It just goes to show, at some point you have so much money it doesn't matter.

It's always the dirty hippies. I say we pull a Cartman, and wipe them out of existence once and for all.

I take offense to this plan to get rid of hippies, because you will invariably include me. Even though my car is named Nixon, and I hate hippies.

Any plan that fails to remove Satan most assuredly does NOT have my support. In fact, any
good plan, by definition almost, would be one that eliminates Satan. And provides more shoes. (Although maybe that's more in the realm of a great plan.)

Meh, it always does, Ryme, unless you have copy editing support. A (mini)quest revolving around this discrepancy might be fun - but I wonder how it'd be rolled out!
Also, I don't think you can continue concealing who the Mick may be. It's not that hard to figure out :wink:

Additionally, please note this error too:

Perhaps this Dimensional Rabbit-Hole is connected to a time vortex somehow?
**shrug** Just a thought...

well... the dimensional portal was only half built at the end of the dont cry for me zionita, and research into a dimensional portal and getting one working would be EXPENSIVE, so maybe its where all his money went?

I realise I'm necro'ing this thread but I wonder if you could avoid these problems by investing in creating a mind map of various plot related people and things in the game. That way when you want to introduce new content set around even obscure characters you could easily reference any previously written 'fluff' for those characters.

Another option would be to expand the wiki to include items not related to game mechanics, such as character biographies.
