(Can we skip a step or two if things have already moved on from our last contact?) (Like can I jump right on to Renaud1 even though I didn't ask him anything orrrrr ???????? )

Not in that case. Neutral communication gives you one opportunity to people to talk to someone, and the transfer is ending after one. You pretty much have to pick between the second OR third option with a neutral conversation. This is why the link cut off after using RENAUD2.
Positive gives you two options, meaning you can talk to two out of the three options. In that case, we could use DRESDE2 and DRESDE3 at the same time. Positive interactions are much more valuable than neutral ones.
As for negatives, well, YOU WILL SEE IN DUE TIMES.
Also, repeating this, a positive conversation ends you with more transfer options than a neutral one (You'll never have the option for a neutral conversation) and a negative conversation will just end the conversation without any option.
Right now, it seems like no one asked Robin anything. I'd also explore that path ;)
Woah, late to the party. :( Has anyone chosen DRESDE1?
[edit]
Oh dear. :( I think I'm going to have to re-read this thread when I'm not sleep deprived. XD
(This is quite a lot to deal with. I didn't expect it to get so complicated so quickly. Three possible lines of communication open at any time, any one person leads to three other people, how often you can talk to them varies, and there's a lot of information to extract. The Google Doc doesn't help much in my getting a handle on it all. Plus I've got to use social skills I don't possess to try and charm information out of the various characters. I'm terrified of ballsing it up. I hate to use anxiety as an excuse, but I get a real sense of rising panic when I begin to attempt to work out what to do next. I'd love to keep participating, but I really don't think I can.)
It's fine, omg.
The three lines of communication is mostly because too much information at once can get overwhelming for everyone, me included. This is why we have the limitations in place, because we don't have 12 narrators at the same time. We're keeping three at a time.
The google doc looks complicated because it's 95% empty. I had trouble figuring out a way to make it efficient, especially concerning the items people want (wishes) and the items people give (gifts).
In other news, there is another Chaka message coming up, but I'm not posting it yet.
Cheers, I just didn't want to vanish on this with no explanation, especially after I went and started the thread, and since you've (once again) gone and put a load of effort into putting this together and keeping it going.
You have all the informations concerning Chaka, now.
:)
Again, the only important information is who gifts who.
But, if you compare wishlists and gifts people are asking for, it can be useful! Even in the case of bad end conversations. Who knows, maybe some people might slip you some infos before hanging up
-runs into the plot late- Thank you! :)
Sweet hearts we know Are all around And now this new plot Has been found!
I got a message too! @ I wasn't actve last year during this time so I don’t remember you Doctor but I wish you help in anyway I can! Thank you so much for the Voodoo Doll!

OI! IT'S BEEN A WHILE, RIGHT?
Oh wait. Indoor voice, right. Can't be screaming at people like that. That's rude! Even though I don't mean to be rude, I'm just enthusiastic like that. Born this way, baby!
So, if you don't remember me...(pssst, i'm sure you like, totally remember me. or have heard of me, at least)
Well, my name is Dresden Keith, head of scientific operations for an Aeternali crew! And this year, also the head of our special sweetheart exchange.
So many responsibilities...I am so proud of all of my duties. Well...I just...you know...lost the letters and don't know who I should deliver these gifts to!
But, I have the gifts! Really, I do!
So, if you accept to help me...well, all of us, actually, I'll be so happy! Will you get me out of this awful, nasty pickle? It's a big dill for me!
I sent you a little thank you in advance, just for the bother, but I'm sure I have plenty of stuff to give you if you help me! The supplies room is full of stuff no one uses.[/sopiler]
Ah thank you so much for the cute voodoo doll. :D Ohh sounds really interesting, I'd gladly help you out. :)
[edit] Oh another one! Thank you so much for the wonderful Items! Pretty hair and omg I LOVE Koalas! <3

OH EM GEE. I am so glad you're helping me. See, I really really messed up! I'm trying to reach my friends to figure out who they're giving to, but of course, they think I'm a snoop! So, you have to go and attempt to convince them to tell you.
I guess, don't tell them it comes from me. You don't risk anything, but I don't want to lose friends, you know!
You're the best, thanks so much. I owe you one, ok. NO I owe you many!
A snoop, huh? Well, I'll be your snoop then to find out about anything you want to know~ I promise I try to be gentle... ;D
[edit]
I got a reply!

Haha alright thanks for the tip!
Hey Robin. Need any help or something? You know, I was forced to take one law class in high school.
xxxxxxxx

-faints- Thank you. :)
Whilst we keep the secret Of who we ask for The webs they are woven Questions? We have more

I LIKE KOALAS TOO. THEY ARE, KOALA-TEA.
Anyway. So far, we need to talk to Robin, our lawyer and business manager. Why do a spaceship crew needs a lawyer? For conflicts with other aliens, due. We don't want a lawsuit!
Anyway, you can just go and ask Rob a question. He's not in the most patient of moods lately, so be careful!
Once Robin is done with us, we'll have more opportunities to talk to other people! Don't worry!
Ohhh...asking him a question? Wow, I'm back soon then I suppose.
"Aye Robin, any interesting news?"

Help? Help for what? That silly trading swap we have going on? No, I'm good.
Who did I get? Can't tell you now! But, I can give you like, hints or something.
I got all information on my victim...sorry, partner a while back, and I got her everything she wanted!
Grape Jelly Shot Mocha Frap Get Mugged Pint Survival Blue Paper Flower
Unless you mean, like, for delivery? I'll bring that to her.
I'm pretty sure I'll get everything I asked for as well. ;D I'm not even worried.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WORRIES ME, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. You can go back and bother Dresden again if you go and dial ROBIN2. It's going to transfer you back to her. Maybe she knows more than I do. Maybe she does not. Who knows.
Or, if you feel like a reckless and adventurous person, dialing ROBIN3 should get you to...someone else on the ship. Someone of importance. Who? It's a mystery!
Ah I see, thanks for the quick and interesting answers. Well, I think I might be the adventurous person, so I gotta dial ROBIN3 for now.

My my Robin, you're quite the character aren't you? Thanks for the hints though. :P
Well I do want some more information so... YOLO. Let's try ROBIN3 then!

Haha, thank you! I did sleep well. :) Time to catch up!
SPOILER (click to toggle)
you have terminated communication with balmoral, robin
you have established communication with erat, lina

HELLO STRANGER. I don't remember you from our other escapades! I'm Captain Lina Erat, head of that ship? And you are...someone. Someone with a head, I guess!
Well, sure is a pleasure to meet you!
Granted, you're catching me at a bad moment, a moment where I actually have to do ship captain things, but I can spare you a few minutes, of course!
So, as a proud ambassador of our people, what can I do for you?
(wow, that was great, I need to note this line down for another time.)
Someone with one head too much... haha. Glad to meet you, Captain. Cute Cybill you have there! The Sun color reminds me of the one I talked to previously.
Well, can I help you with something? Heard about a lot of gifting going on lately, so... :)

Thank you for your time Captain! It sounds like a great tradition!
Let's go to LINA2!
[img align=center]https://i.imgur.com/tGcldDF.gif[/img]
HI GUYS how's the spreadsheet going /hops right on it
Ooh so someone went further with Robin, nice. xD
Aah citrus is so refreshing ^u^ PSH IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE it's totally fine to skip dieting in special days, ahaha! Thank you ❤️ I think I've bothered Renaud enough for the time being, so I shall dial CHAKA3 xD
We have two new conversations open right now, one with Ludovic (CHAKA3) and one with Octave (LINA2) who just opened up.
Also, due to the fact you caught her in a good mood, Chaka has another link open, either to Robin(CHAKA1) or to Renaud(CHAKA2).
A hint, one of these links happen to be a good ending and you'll end up knowing something. The other is a bad ending.
It's a gamble, you can choose to do it or nooooooot
