The only problem with this is a TF giver can't be a trainer too; or at least hasn't been so far.

I believe it's possible to have separate contacts both with the same name (but different IDs) in different zones (for appearances sake) with one being the trainer and the other being the contact. I can't recall this being used in game anywhere, but I vaguely recall a dev saying it was possible.

Technically, yes... but I'm pretty sure they'd consider it immersion breaking. War Witch is only in two zones because they're different versions of the character.
[/ QUOTE ]maybe, but in that case the humorous legend of blue steel could come into play, that he is so powerful/fast/potent in bed/whatever silly descriptor that he actually appears in two places at once.

I don't know. I could easily imagine it possible to consider them to be the same Blue Steel but simply at different places at different times. We already have many of the other named heroes and villains being fought/being allied with in missions while they exist elsewhere in the game world and that's not considered immersion breaking. In fact, if you run Maria Jenkins' arc, Statesman has apparently gone missing. I oftentimes have to prevent myself from simply telling her to check the battleship in IP if she really wants to find him. :P
I would have some issue with it if the multiple instances of Blue Steel were in the same map, but, as per my suggestion, that wouldn't be the case.

My absolute favorite occurence of double-instancing is in Faultline.
Penelope Yin: Oh hero! You must go save Doc Delilah! She's been captured by the Sky Raiders!
Hero: Ummm... no she hasn't... she's standing right over there on the shore line..
Penelope Yin: What? No.. According to my information she's been kidnapped by the Sky Raiders.
Hero: Now she's waving to us.
What I would really love to see a mischevious developer do is set up some code where if you had that mission on tap and were within viewing distance of her Doc Delilah would appear to be wearing a a pair of those Groucho Marx glasses/nose/moustache disguises.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
that would be amazing!
other cantidates would be a paper bag with 2 eye holes or a /protest sign up saying "not here"

Not to mention, one of the zones is in another universe.
Maybe they could put the TF contact Blue Steel in one of the Shard zones and have normal physics there, because Blue Steel refused to put up with any alternate physics nonsense.

Not too long ago, they said there definitely was a connection between Warshade Romulus and ITF Romulus. Now they're saying that there definitely isn't. Even if I minded the Blue Steel jokes, that thread no longer holds as much water with me as it did.
[/ QUOTE ]When did they EVER say that there was a connection between the two? I've only ever seen a dev deny any intentional relationship between them.

It was mentioned once...think is response to a direct question. The comment was something along the lines of "Yes they are related and it will be developed more in the future."
I think the forum monster ate the actual post though...was around the end of testing for that patch.

Blue Steel destroyed the periodic table, because the only element he understands is the element of surprise.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I was pretty sure he covered all those facts when he said Blue Steel was a scrapper, I mean sure some of us boil water for our coffee with rage about things other than Tub Ci's release, but honestly, what scrapper *hasn't* destroyed the periodic table at one point or another?
