you can just make a message board.some messages are really long and hard to post with signs.
I read the message board every time I walk past it (even though right now it has nothing on it). There is nothing wrong in posting it also on the forums, but I do see a problem with doing it only here. It robs from you the chance to discover it IC.Okay. Please stop calling people out on being lazy or inconsiderate. These people took the time to write up the thread in the first place. Canon forum RP is a thing, you know. It isn't necessary to put it on the in-game board. Hell, it's easier to be seen on the forums. You only just now decided to look at it. I know that I never look at it because I already saw it on the forums. It just appeals to a more relaxed read when it's on the forums.
The only thing putting it on the board does is give you quality points.
Edit: I read up, and another valid point is that you can't really do on a MC book what you can on the forums. Long threads, images, etc.
Sure sure sure, I can see that. But if people wanna have their little 'poster tear down and put up' wars then I say they should spend the resources on it to make the books and travel to other places. Saying you posted in some town while not actually going to that town is a bit silly to me.Okay. Please stop calling people out on being lazy or inconsiderate.

Messageboards (last I heard) have been buggy and not showing up books on them sometimes.I read the message board every time I walk past it (even though right now it has nothing on it).

If my character would walk to Crossroads and read a bounty on her friend's head, I would be given a chance to play her discovery, ask around if anyone saw who put it there and maybe even actually taken it down.
Also, if I my character had a bounty on her and she just read about it in the Crossroads inn she might decide that it's too risky to go inside and turn around, and who knows, maybe someone noticed my character reading it and will decide to claim the bounty? This can't happen if my character can know about her bounty without even leaving her house.
so are you saying all the rp that has occurred on the forum's is null and void?Forum rp =/= ingame rp.
Just as you cannot have NPC's act out for you, you can't do actions you ain't done in game.
Right, but IG people can actually tear them down.Yes it would be nice to see posters in game, but does it really matter? You can put more detail into a forum thread, with drawings, cool fonts, etc. It's more easily accessible, easier to read. It would be nice to put them in game as well, but it's not really a big enough deal to make a fuss over. There's no "risk" of your character being caught putting posters in the message board.
That's a cool feature but I don't see why it makes a difference. People haven't had to put them in the message board in game before and there isn't really any issues. I just don't see why people are being ridiculed for not doing it in game.Right, but IG people can actually tear them down.
Same, there's nothing wrong with posting both. I fully intend to do both, once I figure out how to sign a book Anonymously.That's a cool feature but I don't see why it makes a difference.
