Press and the Mailing List
27.1 Messages sent to the mailing list ( mailto:londonengarde@yahoogroups.comnelist.com ) as press should include a subject heading appropriate to the content and an indication in the body as to who it is from and to (in terms of game characters). The server automatically inserts [londonengarde] as the first word of the Subject line. Another message can be replied to in the subject field but please don't quote whole messages directly. You can choose whether to receive individual messages from the list server, or a daily digest (see the website for further information).
27.2 Messages should be kept in character, with any comments from the player himself contained in brackets at the end. This should be done for announcements to minimize the chance of them being overlooked. Impersonating another player will most likely lead to expulsion from the game; similarly a message may not be sent claiming to be directly from an NPC. Finally, excessive abuse or foul language will be frowned upon with warnings before expulsion.
27.3 Bear in mind that any letter or narrative sent to the press is read by all players and its contents known to all characters. If it is intended to keep it quiet, it should be sent direct to the players concerned or to the GM. Anonymous messages can be sent to the GM who will forward them to the mailing list.
27.4 Characters may receive bonus SP or two for particularly good/witty/in character press. Characters who are the subject of particularly effective libel or put-downs may lose an SP or two (although not just for a stream of random insults!). If the person concerned is away from London, such SP gains and losses are held over
