Message: <blockquote data-quote="perrinmiller" data-source="post: 5511873" data-attributes="member: 88649">Yeah, I use spoiler blocks to keep things clean.  OOC threads are good for keeping these kind of discussions from cluttering the IC action (saving us from having to go back too far to look things up).  From LPF, I have found I prefer having a separate OOC thread, but even when you do have one, people tend to post OOC only content anyway.  But I think everyone here has been good about not doing that so far.Until now, I reserved judgement on the separate CT and I have found the one thing I really dislike about it.  We are in a holding pattern waiting on the DM to summarize the action in our role-playing thread when we are all ready to go without needing it (since we all know what happened already).  This is why I haven't posted IC for Firvin.My style works well with having combat in the primary IC thread, so I don't feel a need for a separate thread, myself.  I always write the role-playing version anyway, putting mechanics into a spoiler block, as a DM and as a player. You all (well, maybe not SK) have seen the result of my style's evolution with my LPF game.  In fact because the CT is not really role-playing, I haven't been writing much IC content for that reason, normally I would be posting as I do with Borric and Ariel.Bottom line, I agree with GlassEye for the most part, but I will go with the flow if HM wants to keep using it.  I can keep track of multiple threads (multiple scenes too).  I think the CT works well when certain players only provide posts with mechanics during combat.  I know of several players that do that, but this crew doesn't have them, so I think we can run combat in the IC thread and leave it clean (all OOC content in spoiler blocks) with people writing IC content describing their character's actions.  BTW, I am not bashing HM (or Thanee either) for this idea.  It has its place for certain groups of players. I just don't think it is needed for us.</blockquote>
