Story Arc issue

Is there a maximum number of story arcs you can have open at one time?

I ask, because I've got a contact that won't give out his story arc for anything... despite that I've nearly completed all his non-arc missions. Enough of them that he's not even giving me a choice of two... yet he won't start his arc.

Here's the more detailed scenario: I've got a hero character that recently hit 35, so I started looking for what 35-40 arc were available, and which I could access. And, lo and behold, there were three I liked the sound of. And though, hey! I can have up to three active missions, I'll just start all their arcs, and that will last me through to level 40, easy!

At least, that was the plan.

Colleen Nelson gave up her story arc after two intro missions.

Anton Sampson gave me the first mission of his arc after I got his number.

Gordon Stacy... I've already filled his association bar, unlocked all his store, and gotten another contact introduction... and he STILL won't give up his story arc!

Does anyone else know what's going on, here?

There are main/major story arcs, they are marked by a book with a blue bookmark and border. There are mini/minor story arcs, they are marked by a book with a green bookmark and border.

You can have two 'main' story arcs open. You can have a theoretically unlimited number of 'mini' story arcs open.

Use a magnifying glass to see the difference. (Someone should nerf bat the artist who did this, it was a lot easier to tell with either an entire red or yellow book)

You can also hover the cursor over the book and it should tell you if it's a mini arc or not.

Look what I just added: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Known_Issues#Colorblindness

Good, but still, a pixel or two wide "bookmark", while looking unique in an icon editor, is indistinguishable on a high resolution monitor, colorblindness or not.
