[OOC] Myriad Reality

What are you talking about? The characters know exactly what's happening, and this offers a supplement to the current system and a better explanation as to why it's on RPG in the first place. Changing from a network system in the first place was less logical a jump.

@Legend

I like the idea of having a marker. It actually rather makes sense, since it's coming from devices. If we consider the idea that what we see is from cameras recording everything, then they'll record the speech from the devices, as well, and we can put that in markers to show that it's coming from the devices.

@whizzball1

But markers make no sense because literally everything will be on the network unless they switch it off.

Yeah? But beaches are beaches. Cool, but I'm not going to go "Wow, a beach!" every time I see one.

@Galaxy Raider

Can everyone hear everything over the devices, or is this only for Techi, Violet, and Meredy?

@Legend

But it happened. We can't just change back randomly and have it make sense. We also won't have every character a part of it and have no way of knowing who is and isn't. We need a qualifier.

Everybody.

@The World

It spreads as a virus. Within two days, everyone will be in it. I'm not going to put braces around every post of mine because every single one will be on the network. There's literally no reason not to have the system.

@The World

Speaking of that, like I asked, how do we know if people in different locations can hear each other? Do we have to specifically state "everybody can hear this"? Or do we just reply and hope we're right?

@Legend

This makes sense, actually. Now I'm not sure anymore.

[Galaxy Raider]

Not sure if I like the idea of everyone always being in touch.

@whizzball1

Private versus public communications. Easily inferred, and the devices are smart enough to know what is/isn't, as long as the people behind them are as well. A general rule is that if they're someplace everybody can access like the base, it's public, which is also an explanation of how people know when to show up. If it's someplace nobody can get to, it's most likely private. It's also extremely low-key. It won't really be mentioned unless necessary because it works independently.

@Galaxy Raider

Except they already are through cell phones.

@Legend

But that is actively. This is passive.

@Galaxy Raider

Yes, but it's literally the equivalent of speaking at the base without actually having to be there. The system is smart enough to discern what goes into main chat and what does not.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That makes sense.

@whizzball1

When did Ruby get there?

see
this is what I'm talking about
She's using the communication system.

@Legend

Even if someone is wanting to have a private conversation at a public location? It just reads their intentions, or will it actually have to be actively switched off?

@Galaxy Raider

Everything should be done automatically, considering Data's prowess with technology. This isn't something meant to be an element that's actually considered IC, but something that makes it easier on us.

Fair. Scrap the system then; I don't care.

That makes it better to me.

@Legend

No, I like the system. I'm just saying that markings are going to be needed so we don't get confused.

@whizzball1

I'm serious; I really don't care if it's used or not. It was confusing to me because we've been on the presence system for a year, which has just as many flaws (e.g. asking OOC where a character is located), but it's not worth putting a marking next to every single post. That's ludicrous.
