[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6047487, member: 63746"] I think they're pretty essential myself (obviously ;)), to know not only whom you're addressing, but what you're specifically replying to (almost a requirement when you're doing multiple scenes at once). I personnaly dislike long paragraphs responding to multiple interventions by other other characters. Quoted text are more dynamic, encouraging short, or at least specific, responses that simulate real time conversations better, I think -- though YMMMV, of course. Developped these things way back early in my PBEM carreer in a game where we posted the entire ongoing conversation each time we posted, replacing the tags with our name on them with our replies and adding our own where we wanted answers. When all the Response tags were gone, the conversation was done. :) I do have to explain it every time though (and remind of their non-exclusiveness a couple of times too (it's not because Sloor is expecting a response from Mir that Darius can't speak up, etc)), but I think it works, both as an OOC reminder and as an expression of non-verval IC reality: you can usually tell (from where his attention is, looks, pauses, facial expression, small prompts) when someone is expecting an answer. You call also usually tell if it's expected from anyone present, or mostly from a specific someone. Feel free to start using them here if you guys feel like it. Re pictures, Sloor and TB have one in the RG, as does everyone else, I think (EN World galleries are down since the reboot, so they're not there *right now*, granted). I go take a look whenever I need a refresher. :) And you forgot "muscular". Green, four-armed and *muscular* - Oh, and usually grinning. Green, four-armed, muscular and *grinning*! [/QUOTE]
