Communication ethics in PBW

DavidG · #1 August 8th, 2002, 12:11 AM

Thought ask this on behalf of my lurker friend

but am also curious myself what you guys think. In a PBW game (or email game) is it OK to communicate by e-mail? Personaly I would prefer to keep communication within the game but think it is ultimately up to the players and perhaps more importanty the host to decide

In-game communication is too #### slow to do anything useful by..email is fine by me

I say it depends upon the rules of the game. Some games do not want to restrict the players. Some do. I don't think it is a problem so long as a record of the emails is kept just in case a question about cheating arrises.

IMHO, there is absolutely nothing wrong with email communication. Or IM communication, or private forums for specific players, for that matter.

hell, i had an interstate phone conversation to coordinate a very complicated double crossing, once.

not that im in the habit of double crossing folks, i usually give scads of fair warning before a war starts, and i try to win the peace whenever possible.
