Do the Contest propositions happen at the same time of year every game? If not, what is it dependant on?
Same time, every year. Those things are worthless though.
But when do they happen? What’s the date? Is it random each game or is it dependant on something?

But I’m telling you, It’s a waste of time.
I second what Seraphim said. They are a waste of time.
Don’t you have to complete all these missions in order to get Cid?
If by Cid you mean Orlandu, then no. He joins you automatically as part of the story.
whoops… I got FFT mixed up with FFTA.
Propositions, of any kind, are all a waste of time. Let’s see what they give:
[ul]
[li]Gil. Although you get more cash in one random battle at Mandalia Plains than in five of these things.
[/li][li]JP. Useful for leveling jobs, but if you can send away a character for 10+ days, then the odds of you using him/her too much are low.
[/li][li]Treasure/Areas. These are mostly references to previous FF games. Okay, I’ll give it to you, these are somewhat nice, but they have no strategic value.
[/li][li]A small story of what the heck happened on the mission. Same as above.
[/li][/ul]
Turning these nice but ignorable quests into the WHOLE GAME in Tactics Advance was a one of the very shitty decisions made by the producers.
Agreed.
