So pbps are getting pretty big here and spoilers are really useful to us, but sometimes we want to send messages to certain people that others should not see.
On the Dark Dun pbp thread Tobus Neth suggested namelocked spoilers. What you think?
Perhaps you guys might consider this.
Original suggestion follows:
It be really cool if they had Namelocked spoilers ![spoilerTobusNeth][/spoilerTobusNeth]Gary Teter make it happen!

Couldn't you just take each other's e-mail addresses, and correspond with each other 'off the record'?
It does mean there's nothing on this site, so you won't get the full nostalgia experience if you go back and read the whole campaign later, but that might be a good thing, if you're planning on shafting another PC...?
I'm not in any pbps, since I'm in a different time-zone from most of you. You'd have to put the game on hold while you wait for me to get out of bed, and vice versa.
Where are all the UK members?!?!?
But what about those of use who like reading pbps we are not participating in?
That is a very valid point I had not considered.

That's the entire point of PbP's; grouping together people who could never play together normally. I think I've got three Australians, a Canadian in China, half a dozen U.S. players, at least one U.K. player, and I work nights here in Detroit...
Yah I think email is fine.
If I had them I don't see myself using them much, but it does have its uses even beyond pbps if only for the purpose of amusement. I mean we've got smurfs, right? So why no namelocked spoilers?

Here!!!
But to Answer you question, time-zones a a pain, Aubrey, who is DMing the only pbp I'm in (or have ever played) just went to Hong Kong for 3 months, while the game has Americans, UKiens and a myriad of others in it.....
But hey, pbps are supposed to be slow, the suspense is great for those of masochistic temperament.

Sometimes in a movie, two characters will whisper to each other or a exchanged conversation takes place without the viewer's knowledge.
And that would make the story more to enjoy as the plot unravels.
