Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] OOC: Tim\'s suggestion (Sorry, Harris!)

Hmmm..  I seem to be missing some posts.  Guess I'll have to check the egroup site more regularly.  But yes, I do believe that a secondary board would be a good idea.  There've been a couple of times I've wanted to post, abut haven't as it wasn't enough, or it wasn't on topic.  Anyway, I will get round to another rp post soon, honest...

Subject: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] OOC: Tim's suggestion (Sorry, Harris!)
    Back in the 'old' days when I used to run my own BBS(Bulletin Board System). (This was before the internet was a mainstream thing, in the mid '80s). I used to host each of my several RPG's with a another message group that was specifically devoted to the RPG's discussion and chatter. Hence, for my TFT World of Cendri RPG, I had a message group for 'World Of Cendri' where strictly RPG posts were made and another for 'World of Cendri - Discussion' where all the 'player to gamemaster' questions about the game were aired, and general natter of player to player disussion of things related to the game was posted.  I think we could easily do the same for the Blue Dwarf RPG, And it should satisfy both crowds of people! What does everybody think?    Oh, and remember, all this is just in my humble opinion(IMHO), I'm not speaking as a moderator, superior or anything like that.    - Tim/White Wolf----------     Not that I've got a lot of clout here (being one of the Funny New Guys), but I have seen this problem before.  Tim's idea to create a parallel E-group for the express purpose of an OOC chatboard WILL solve this problem.  It allows us to chat with each other OOC while not interfering with the flow of the IC posts.  I heartily recommend it.     I also recommend this (Tim alluded to it): if you have a grievance against another player, contact them OFF-LIST first.  That way, you haven't humiliated them in front of the entire group.  If I found out about a complaint that someone had against me by reading it on the main list, I'd be more than a little upset.  Let's try solving these things behind the scenes.     Just my two bits.  Nonrefundable.     AJ     (Zack & Cubie)The continuing adventures of the Blue Dwarf...www.geocities.com/bluedwarf2000To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:JMC_Blue_Dwarf-unsubscribe@egroups.com
