Title: contacts buying more than one thing at a time?
Post by: Nacho Grande on <02-04-14/2208:43>

I'm very new to SRM and I was just curious if you could:

A) have a contact get more than one thing for you at a time ("hey you got a gun guy, surely he can get some ammo and add-ons from the same place!")
   
           or
B) have different contacts getting different stuff at the same time.

this is to cut down on downtimes when realizing you need multiple items

 thanks!

I don't know about A, but I have not seen any reason why B wouldn't be an option. When contacts are getting you items you can still use your time for yourself after all.

If you need multiples of the same thing, you can definitely use 1 contact to purchase the bundle. 1 contact purchasing different things is problematic.

This is just a soft science thing here, but also keep in mind that if your contact got pinched or otherwise gave up information about you, you'd have to make a choice.  Do you want one contact that can tell authorities or enemies that you bought 6 pounds of C-12, a detonator, and a blow-up doll?  Or would you rather that the authorities had to track down 3 contacts, verify that they're talking about the same person, and then link together the plot to blow up Dunkelzahn's car with a blow-up doll?
