Well, we don't know how any in-game character will respond. Who knows who's sending what, from here or one of the other boards? I don't think we should automatically assume there's been irrepairable damage done here.

I mean, we're not the only ones playing CTW. Who knows what's been sent from other boards?

Where's that Meta thread on players not really being able to influence the plot of the game as much as they're given the illusion that they can?

Again I say, email away folks! Something will stick, someone will ask the right question, get the key clue.

I agree with Steve here. Remember that these aren't real people. If the PMs want us to figure something out, or think we've got the right idea, they'll make sure we get it.

That being said, please do try to read the boards before posting. And be sure to label your posts!

Steve, I think that what Maggie (and Dan, though you quoted Maggie) was making was not a meta emailing characters issue. We've been told how to handle this, at least that's the impression that people have from the emails posted here and other boards. There are several threads about it and that went counter to it.

I don't think anyone in this thread has been saying to not email characters, but to think before you do. The PMs have said as much on their page and in the post that they sent to cd.org and is posted here. Consider who you are emailing, what they would know, and how to approach it.

just my thoughts

ok. i didn't read "don't" email. just read other's before you do

really, we're saying the same thing. feel free to email people. just be prepared. by reading up on what others have sent, you may see that someone's taken a certain action and how it's working. it might help you form a better approach.

yahoo has a great email archive (thanks rpg for setting it up and letting us know) and these are all labeled with the site/character and a topic...choose your poison. a couple minutes looking could help you change a non-effective (read: done and doesn't work) into something that strikes gold.

Don't forget that roleplaying is a major fun factor for many of those playing along side you. The personalities of Dr. Faust and Colonel Fitz for example are just as intriguing as the personalities in the PMs' corner. They've got their "team" of characters, why not let us have ours?

I say that if you create a cool, interesting character that is well fleshed out and maintains their "in-game" personalities logically, have fun with it.

If you prefer to play as yourself, have fun with that too.
