GM Reminders

posted by Ginger at 01:36 PM, April 28, 2004 | Filed under : Netiquette & Play Procedures | Comments and Followups

It’s time for the GMs to issue some reminders on various things.

  1. Please be careful not to overwrite other characters’ potential reactions when you’re writing a long post. While it’s occasionally OK to do this for minor NPCs, it’s not OK to do it for feature NPCs like the elders or major non-family characters. It’s never OK to do it for other PCs without discussing it with the other player first.
  2. As we’ve moved into a phase of the game where there are a lot of new PC romances, we’re getting a bit more smack talk on the list. Some of our players read the list at work or receive it at work addresses. Some of them, including one of the GMs, work at jobs (e.g., defense and finance) where their computers and email are subject to scrutiny and archiving. The list is officially PG-13, but we ask you to keep work-safeness in mind for everyone and limit racy chatter.
  3. The list software is set to accept plain text posts of up to 15K, and does not accept attachments. Normally it bounces HTML/non-text mail, but sometimes it posts garbled text instead. Please try to set your mail to plain text if at all possible, and ideally wrapped to about 80 characters to keep quoted sections readable.
  4. If you’re uncomfortable with something that’s going on in the game, whether it’s events on the list, your storyline, or OOC chatter, please feel free to talk to the GMs privately about it. If something needs to be taken care of, we can and will handle it.
