Signatures in the Playing the Game forum (PbP players please read)

[Thanee]

Is it?

At least from my point of view, since (with one recent exception ) I have never ever seen it done before.

Most people list them in the PbP signature thread located in a sticky in talking the talk. I did what you did for a little bit but quickly realized that the fastest way to navigate ENworld was to do it by not using ENworld. Your signature is nothing more than a list of links and I did the same thing in HTML and I did that for quite some time... but really the best way to get from one side of PbP to the other is through the email subscriptions.




Does it? It seems to me to hint at the games you play in, not run, and you didn't even mention who's running each individual game.

As an aside, the fastest way to navigate is actually to have several browsers open to the pages you frequently check and have them periodically refresh.

Huh? I thought you gamed with Isida more than that... I know she does it, I know RA does it, and AMG does it. (Which is currently all my DMs/GMs I have on ENworld.)

And each of them runs more than one game, or soon will be, so its pretty common.

I do it in some games...not in others. It seems to be a habit with certain threads. Which is why I'm neutral on it.

Oh, and BS, you know that you and I are about the only one's who don't display sigs in the KotOR game? I know drothgery's is there once a page, and the others', too, I believe.

I only did it because you made it seem to me like that's what everyone does (and then edited all of mine out yourself that you could find )

have them turned off would make reading them much easier

Honestly, I don't like sigs in the PbP forums. I like the sig for the GM, provided it has all the relavant IC, OOC, RG links in it in the first post of the first page. Then never after.

Most people's sigs are amusing, thought-provoking, or interesting tidbits that are fine when you're having a casual conversation, but look rather out of place for Throg Stoneaxe, Dwarven Defender of the Deephollow Caves. It's distracting at best. I like my players to turn off their sigs and try to lead by example, but I don't always get what I want.

Yeah I guess so... Dave's I've seen for a year or so know so its not even their anymore... Plus its minor while alot of PbPs isn’t.

I killed the poll for now we can talk about this for a bit and I will reopen another one... The poll isn’t a very honest one.

The no answer doesn't mean “NO” while the “YES” answer surely does so it hardly honest…

Oh ignore the results of the poll also. That’s was seeing if I could really do it. (restored them)

 

[Jdvn1]

BS, since this poll was BS, did you ever make a more honest poll? I don't recall seeing one.
