[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 6047063, member: 88649"] I was actually hoping for more of an opinion here. ;) 1. I understand why people do it. In my own games, I ask people not to do it in an IC thread. Generally is it easy to refer to who the character is talking to without it. And, with our smaller group, I don't think it is necessary myself. My question is: Is the need for it outweighing the clutter it causes? Specifically for our group of players, different games it is necessary. 2. The <Response> cues. Personally, they are very helpful for speed reading and review. With the gray letters on black background, the clutter is not an issue. Less the the OOC blocks the site has. However, I tried it once in another game because people were ignoring my conversation hooks and I got "wtf is that!?" and I never tried it again. 3. The Avatar picture is standard for me now in every game at EnW and other sites where you only have a single account. I like them, helps me remember what characters look like. I do it for as much as the readers. Also it tends to be more important in the beginning of game. But, as related to this game, I will be honest. Even after all these years of familiarity of the characters, I can only remember that Sloor is greenish with four arms, Darius is male and Mir is female. I could not tell you their hair color or anything, but I do recognize them on a tactical grid. :p Again, I am not asking people change nor criticizing, definitely not my intent. I am looking for opinions here, cuz I think we can discuss it honestly. If anything, it might impact some decisions I make in other games. [/QUOTE]
