OOC Chatter

[Shika Nesshin]

Sounds very Sonoma. (Also several other places, but I liked the alliteration.)

My guess was Michigan.

Johnson City, Texas.

[Usogawa Emiko]

Texas.

Gets real interesting when taking a Brooklyn-born cat to the Hill Country:

"Ayyy, meowdy ya fucks!"

I have some questions relating to the Day 2 event, which I have stuck in a thread in my private forum here

Still not sure on the etiquette of what to send via PM and what to post here or in the private forum... oh well, learn as I go, please correct me if I did it wrong.

Don't want to clog the GM thread as a non-GM. But since only half of this involves 'GM's preference in how to receive questions,' I'm going to offer some of my thinking when deciding where a thing goes from the player side.

Do I think my question is something that a bunch of other people might want to know? (how does this event roll work? Can I use an opportunity there to have Renji notice me?): Public GM question thread.

Does the question involve something on my sheet or in my character background that I'd rather keep private? (Does my 'you're a terrible person' disadvantage apply?): Private Forum (PF)

Does it involve setting questions that are general? (How old is the Emperor?): Public question thread

Setting questions that are pretty clan or character specific? (SL nightmares have gotten worse with the growing threat, right?): PF/Discord depending on speed and where I'm at right then.

And then there's crowdsourcing to the playerbase. (how do people deal with ending up in a thread with someone in the morning, but they've already posted together with "I've never met you before" type introductions at dinner?!): OOC chat or Discord group, if you're there (I am not)

That said, there's no hard and fast etiquette there. If the GM gets a bunch of the same question in PFs, they'll probably decide that it's of general interest and add it someplace public, like a new Rules post. Sometimes asking questions about a system when you're new feels very "everyone's going to think I'm dumb," so it's just plain more comfortable using the PF. Lots of individual comfort-level involved there.

Indeed. And if in doubt, PM someone. Many that you end up in scenes with will be veterans of the community even if not the game itself. I gladly welcome the chance to help out if you have questions about stuff and don't know where to turn to.

You may do threads to specifically trigger your Adversities or Anxieties to regain void points. This can even happen in an event or when pushing an agenda This one must be roleplayed out, no spending your time off-screen petting spiders.

Unless petting spiders is a passion.

You can't tell me how to live my life! You're not my mom!

But I actually am your mother!

I've seen movies start this way...
