Very interesting. I am very glad I asked because I literally had no idea that was going on.
The short answer on this is that I would like everyone to read everything in the main threads. I prefer to keep anything private in the private threads. Everything else should be considered information that is freely shared amongst the party whether someone was there or not. There has to be some assumed communications between the characters that happens behind the posts.
This is very true. The problem with it is, if the others don't share something that happened in a solo situation with the group, (which seems to happen a lot) the player who isn't reading it won't have any idea that it happened.Urson wrote: I see why some people only read 'their' stuff- it makes it a lot easier to keep player knowledge and character knowledge straight.
No one should feel like they shouldn't be reading something that is posted publicly. Nothing there is "off limits". That is why I like using the private threads for private stuff.
