Well if Green's using OOG discussion to help him IG, then we really need to get going on that organised group is all I can really say. If we can use a different medium to discuss our approach, then maybe we can make more headway with him.

The words for the URL might be on the underside of the awning, just like the purloined letter. If anyone lives by that sundry store, look at the underside of the awning.

One benefit of posting in the forums is that it helps other players here follow along with the game. Right now I am just catching up with the game. I find I like John Green's style.

All the posts from the players are so helpful in following the game when you can't be actively playing.

I don't think the PM will use any unfiction information "against" us. But then again, I have no idea who the PM is.

Well the reference to seifer's UF screenname in emails, and references to us being connected to seifer seem to indicate that he is using discussions held here IG.
We just have to hope that his alias over here doesn't click on to the chat as well.

I don't think we're saying not to use the forums. We can still post updates on vital clues and discoveries, but it's probably best if discussion of private correspondance and our strategies on things concerning that should be more contained so that he does not have access to it.

Private messages between players sort of defeats the purpose of uF.

A good PM follows along in uF to see where he/she is getting his/her point across, or to figure out where he/she needs to steer the players if they are getting off track. A good PM does NOT reference anything in uF unless a player has told a character that information. If a player has not shared anything or emailed anything (or posted anything on an IG forum), then the character cannot know about that information. PERIOD.

If the PM does not follow those guidelines, then they are not "getting" the purpose of uF and he/she needs to rethink how to interact with the players.

If players aren't sharing what they say/write to a character, you don't know what has been told to that character. Sure, there are players who do not post on uF (and sometimes ARGs are played out on other discussion forums, but usually someone in uF links to the other gaming forum and information is shared back & forth - ala Neowin for VanishingPoint and stuff in YearZero).

OOG Chat rooms are useful for brainstorming, chit-chatting comments and jokes; good for META spec & discussions. Sometimes a PM has a "spy" in the chat room, sometimes there isn't. You could also create a chat room that is IG and characters are invited in to interact IG. Sometimes the PM sets up these IG forums or chats just for that purpose.
