[QUOTE="Kathryn_aka_Kat, post: 2558363, member: 36414"] [i]..because they're in character.[/i] Thank you! I see your point...which points to another problem with char interaction: the different levels at which people are playing. Not levels as in power, but levels as in degree of realism and expectations. You are writing a story...where thoughts are posted so that people can appreciate the underlying motivations and feelings of your char. Others are playing it more on the surface, more for fun?, and so see anything posted as fair game. (Given a choice, I prefer your way.) I don't think this is just a matter of new vs. experienced players, though new players are more likely not to notice the difference between thoughts and words/actions. I hope at least that people pay attention to your preferences if you PM about it, but I'm not sure how to get them to expect it otherwise. As has been pointed out in other threads, the people who aren't playing seriously are the ones least likely to read the message boards. :( (( Edit: agree with Ladyshade, and would have addressed her post as well, but I seem to have the same problem here as in chat...still typing a reply to one person when something else happens in between! :) )) [/QUOTE]
