magicaddict...the new TL season approaches apace, and I have a poll of players to make.
The new guy, without giving too much away, isn't exactly going to be the report-writing sort. however, I want to keep my eye in by writing something about him, be it journal entries or scenery posts for him. These may or may not be rather revealing about the character, and I am well aware some people prefer to know only what they find out IC (me, for one) about other people's characters. Therefore, there are some options.
This journal is 100% public - I make a point never to make a locked post - so if I did it here, it would be under cuts for those who weren't bothered or didn't want to read.
If it would be preferred, however, I can do another journal. I tried this for Starke but it never really got off the ground as he spent most of his time crafting official reports. This time will be rather different, and would allow me to be as free as I liked as I could lock it to those who were interested, and those who didn't want to know would never see what was happening.
Obviously, anything that was read would be for entertainment only, and would be classed as stricly OOC knowledge.
What do people think? Do it here and trust yourself? Or do it somewhere else and remove whatever temptation there might be?

If the things that are revealed about the character can affect their rp, it will - either because they're metagaming or trying hard not to metagame, so prevent their character learning things about yours or struggle with the point at which it is acceptable that the character has gained Knowledge.
That said, despite any efforts we may make in the area, somebody will end up monstering something where they'll get bits about PCs, which may include yours, and that may then also carry over - so it may not make much difference.
Tough call - personally would err on the cautious side, then point non-involved like Lucy to the new comm, and then maybe any others who are clearly playing PCs that aren't involved with yours there.
But I'm not a player, so it's not my opinion you're asking!
