Everything you never wanted to know about the radio
Now that the new characters are arriving on the island, 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." 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 year'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 on the radio it was only in a "and there was detention" kind of way.
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 (um, don't count yesterday's, which topped out at 267 links in the broadcast)--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!
