[Discuss] Suggestions on messaging

[J. Stephens]

For me, unless I'm talking OOC, I'm always "roleplaying" so I hardly ever use the "roleplay" flag.

I only use that when I'm not sending a message, report, order or other kind of direct dialogue to other characters. Mostly for when I'm doing a story-like, descriptive thing in third-person, IE "And then Gauihu plucked up the skull, removed the eyes and popped them into his mouth." 






I think that's generally the case...most people just fire off whatever their message is that's a "roleplay" since it's IC and usually "generic" but maybe the flag of "Roleplay" should be changed and called "Story" or somesuch since that's the only time people really use it is when telling a story, describing an action/interaction, etc.

The problem is when people construct elaborate RP exchanges using "Letter" and I'm only taking a quick amount of time to scan for "real" messages and could care less that Lord Dimwit is interested in a dalliance with Lady Pimplebottom.  If people used the "RP" flag then I could more easily skip those that are titled that way.
