Email based objectives

[Frank_Stein]

Idea: You know that fake email program called viewpoint? Have objectives pop up as new emails throughout the round. You can respond to the emails to accept an objective, which gives you a goal and timeframe to complete something. Completing objectives earns you a nice cash bonus.

That way, you continue to get new optional goals throughout your shift with rewards you can apply to the round. You could even do department wind objectives, rather than just individual ones.

The emails could be largely fluff text, with a very simple goal the encourages visiting different departments

"Hi there *insert employee name" This is your one and only true friend, Discount Dan. We're running a promotion on Discount Dan branded self microwaving dinners. Simply EAT one of our DISCOUNT DAN'S MICROWAVE MEALS  and then TEXT #DISCOUNT DAN RULES to the CHEF'S personal PDA within the next THREE MINUTES and you can win $500 SPACE CREDITS. That's right, I'm paying you to eat my food! "

Thread made upon request. Basically, you get a small list simple objectives throughout the round, some random, some related to your job.

Objectives eventually expire, but are also constantly being added. You can accept an objective to have it tracked, delete it to clear space, or just ignore it until it expires.

Objectives themselves should be kept really simple, but the body of the email suggests some good roleplay opportunities

For instance, an email that asks you to rate and review the brig's accommodations. The only real and tracked objective would be to spend about 2 minutes in the brig, while the whole rate and review thing is something you can decide for yourself how you want to approach it
