This forum will give you guys the option to send out mails ingame to any npc or player character for everyone to enjoy the story unfold. Please use it instead of secret PMs, unless the information is something secret another player shouldn't know (but in this, rare, case make sure to send copies to me as well!)
Also, keep in mind that, if you do not specify a certain shadow mail account (and the costs for it) I assume you use the free shadow service, Anarkh (Unwired, page 85).
Format would be:
Subject: [To: RECIVER NAME] Subject
Message:
//To: NAME
//From: NAME
//Sent: DATE/Time
TEXT
Considering that Matrix conversations (including mail) happen with lightning speed, you can have entire conversations, roleplay and all sorts of entertainment going on with each other or NPC without wasting ingame-time.
Everyone can write an email to any other player using their Mailbox. But please remember, that his is 100% ingame and it would be nice to write ONLY as character. If you want to talk about a huge amount of information, however, you can uses methods like:
<Following is a long explaination about the situation with the puppy>
assuming everyone knows the situation and it would be annoying to read it again and again.
Don't forgot that you can send one mail to more than one person. Just specify ALL people recieving the mail and everyone on that List can answer when they have time to do so.
It can also be used to get in contact with connections to place orders for gear or information. If dice rolls would be required, we will either take care of that next session or I will roll the dice on your behalf and decide right then and there.
And be creative! Use attachments (for real or marked as *Attachment: a Photo of the puppy*), use encryptions (if you have the programs and skills for it), or whatever else you can think of.
Please use this to get more depth within the relations of the characters as well as the world around them.
