Communication ethics in PBW

I agree that you shouldn't communicate until you've met in-game, but i think most of the players here are referring to after an in-game meeting.

indeed, i would consider it foul play to communicate with someone before actually meeting them in the game, and would never consider doing that myself.

on the other hand, i think it is unproductive and silly to restrict communications to one message a month, and have to wait an extra month to get an answer back. if those were the rules of the game, i would certainly abide by it. and i think you will find most PBW games stipulate wither or not email use is encouraged.
