Calling Card is a mission in Jimmy's Vendetta. This is a Brodie Gang mission. File:JV Icon B.png"You just heard The Irishman is still alive. Tam Brodie, the dirty Irish bastard, you worked with him for years, but that didn't stop him from framing you to cover his tracks. That crazy fucker has a death wish, I guess it's up to you to make that wish come true. Word is that he's running a gas racket. Blow up a couple of his gas stations. That'll let Tam know you're looking for him."

  • A Calling Card is a piece of evidence or item deliberately left at the scene of a crime to serve as perpetrator's "signature". Sometimes it's a literal playing card or gamepiece left near the scene of the crime, or perhaps the victims are arranged in strange poses. Actual calling cards are rare in Real Life, because it would make it very easy for the cops to track you down; but in fiction, it seems like every villain has to have one for stamping their achievements with. Compare Catch Phrase, which is also a signature of the character who uses it. Examples of Calling Card include:
  • A calling card is an inventory-only item which is basically a shortcut in one resident's inventory that points to another resident's profile (when double-clicked). A calling card can be given by right-clicking an avatar and then selecting More -> Give Calling Card from the pie menu. If the other avatar accepts, the calling card will then appear in their inventory in the "Calling Cards" folder.

  • A calling card is an inventory-only item which is basically a shortcut in one resident's inventory that points to another resident's profile (when double-clicked). A calling card can be given by right-clicking an avatar and then selecting More -> Give Calling Card from the pie menu. If the other avatar accepts, the calling card will then appear in their inventory in the "Calling Cards" folder. Calling cards are different from friendships in that one resident can give another their calling card without receiving the other's. Also, calling cards do not show if the resident is online (unless that resident is a friend) or allow tracking the resident on the world map. Calling cards of residents not as friends will not show up in the friend window either. Adding someone as a friend also gives their calling card automatically. Calling cards are useful in that they can be used as a calling card in real life is: to remember the name of someone met. Calling cards can also be sorted into folders and then everyone in a folder can be IMed or sent items. Calling cards are also a good way to get to know people without allowing them to be able to track a resident on the map or see when they are off/online (but they can still see off/online status from the search anyway). Calling cards originally functioned in the same way that "friends" do today. Giving someone a calling card would allow them to see when a resident was online, track them on the map, and everything else. There was also a time when the amount of calling cards a resident collected would be tallied and then shown on the leader board. A bonus was also received if a resident was one of the top leaders for calling card collection. Calling cards also influenced reputation in the leader board. Friends and calling cards were separated in 1.6. Other things were changed or removed before then.

Actual calling cards are rare in Real Life, because it would make it very easy for the cops to track you down; but in fiction, it seems like every villain has to have one for stamping their achievements with. Occasionally, a Genre Savvy character may even use another villain's calling card to frame them. If the villain is well known, and their calling card shows up before they're introduced in the current continuity, (or if said Villain has been missing or dead for some time), then it's a nice Sequel Hook, or simply a hint of what's to come. Sometimes, the calling card may be a result of the villain's M.O. One obvious example: vampires always leave their characteristic two-holed neck bite. Compare Catch Phrase, which is also a signature of the character who uses it. This has become a Dead Horse Trope in Comic Books, where it was once a staple. A hero may also have a Calling Card, especially one who typically disappears after stopping the criminals rather than hanging around to discuss things with the police. For actual calling cards (which a criminal may also leave, although it's a bit obvious), see My Card. Examples of Calling Card include:
