Quick Reminder About Radio Tags

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Now that everyone's been playing for a month and is beginning to settle in, I just wanted to remind you all about how conversations and actions end up on the radio.

IG, the pirate knows all through *handwavey* technology of handwaveyness. And the occasionally shrub-shaped outfit.

Um, the plant, not the president.

From a more practical angle, the radio has a group of researchers who go through and summarize every post and every thread that all of you make every single day. Yeah. Give them some serious love.

If you don't want something to be broadcast, please mark the post--if it's in a private room--with a NFB (not for broadcast) either in the headline, or at the bottom of the entry, and our researchers'll skip right past it. We'll also skip any post marked "private" or "OOC." Over the past six months "locked to" has evolved to mean "open to only certain characters' interactions" rather than "Barbossa can't hear this, nyah nyah nyah," so if you are using "locked to" to mean "not for the radio," please shift over to using NFB to avoid any mistakes on our part. You can also let us know that the people going in and out are mentionable, but not the contents of their conversations: we use this with the clinics and Blood Gulch Arms, just as a few examples. We've also been assuming that not even the pirate is foolhardy enough to have bugged the principal's office.

Because last semester's detentions were supposed to be private to those involved and not for the general entertainment of the student population, if it was mentioned at all it was only in a "and there was detention" kind of way. This semester has been the same, and will continue to be the same, except for the week when Barbossa had detention. Since he had seen it all and had the mike that night, he blabbed everything to everyone. Because he's like that.

If your conversation is taking place in a public post (the park, the Perk, the gym, cafeteria, whatever) and you want the contents of it not to be for broadcast, mark the thread as such. Because it is in public, your characters will still be seen there but the *handwavey* technology of handwaveyness will have gone on the fritz,or the shrub will have gotten bored listening or whatever.

With the new influx of awesome and active characters, we are sorting through a good hundred plus threads of information every day--and those are on days when we're not having blizzards or forming up mobs--so help us help you keep plotty things and secret relationships secret by marking your posts as NFB.

The pirate and his crew o' buccaneers thank ye!

Hello, Tasty Warmflesh Morsels!

You'll be seeing me around campus and in town today. I'm fh_extras, a secondary monster journal created to help out with major plots like the blizzard.

Today, we're into Snow Monsters. They like to attack the living. And the undead. And the dead-dead. They just like to attack. Fight back with all of your might. Just, uh, be warned: eat the carrot noses (only available on select models) at your own risk.
