~ Re : Filter Tag Abuse ~
A small reminder in hopes of avoiding both player irritation and information godmodding:
To give a practical example, since the topic is popular these days. If I have my character post a message tagged “ filtered against X and his allies “, any ally of X’s that has not (to my char’s IC knowledge) revealed himself as an ally of X can still read that post.
To proceed otherwise is to assume that your character somehow magically knows the intentions and allegiance of every other character in the City.
Similarly, if your char makes a post “filtered to all those who are PRO this issue”, then the only chars who should be able to respond to it are those that your character specifically knows to be pro that particular issue.
This does NOT mean that you are expected to enumerate every character your tag is filtered for / against – you can still tags that define groups. Just bear in mind that those tags can never be as general as including people whose identity or opinion on the filtered subject your char has never ICly heard of - unless, of course, you want your char running the risk of their being busted by the 'bad guys'.Which I think makes for interesting gameplay, myself. ^^;; Double agents = ♥
I’ve a habit of phrasing things rather abstractly, so if you’re not clear on something, please ask ~ ? ^__^ v !
Hope y’all are enjoying your Dino!bonanza ~ ♥ ~ ♥ ~ ♥
