geistnet | General Entitlement: Vice Enterprises Stockholder

ENTERPRISES

BUT WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE A STOCKHOLDER?

Although Vice Enterprises is one of the biggest and richest corporate conglomerates in the world, providing equipment for the Vigil is an expensive business that doesn’t actually give as much of a return on investment as one would think it would. As such, Jessiah Vice’s group is always looking for more people who are willing to buy shares in their company. Keepers of the Vigil who do that gain some special benefits.

PREREQUISITES.

Status 3 or higher specific to a compact or conspiracy
Resources 3 or higher; the dots do not need to be specific to a compact or conspiracy, and can be “scattered” across several different compacts or conspiracies
A Specialty in Politics related to Vice Enterprises or the corporate world
At least two Social Skills at 3 or higher

MEMBERSHIP & INITIATION.

Buying stocks with Vice Enterprises is simply a matter of getting in touch with the Vice Tower closest to one’s assigned power base and expressing one’s interest in the company. Vice rarely turns interested operatives down, and most arrangements are completed in less than 24 hours.

THE RULES.

Keep the Money Flowing. Operatives must retain at least 3 dots of Resources throughout the campaign, or risk losing this entitlement permanently.

Fight the Good Fight. Vice Enterprises is rather sensitive about its public image, and that includes the reputations of their shareholders since everything, for them, is on record. Operatives must make sure to stay clean, and never find themselves embroiled in some sort of scandal.

Keep Us Posted. Keepers who are also shareholders are expected to attend meetings, and keep themselves updated with movements within Vice.

Spread the Word. Keepers who are shareholders need to invite at least three other operatives to join in the fun for the entirety of their partnership with Vice.

BENEFITS.

Members of this entitlement may now purchase this Merit.
