-The function of this is that this system allows you to have IC conversations outside of session without anyone else necessarily seeing them (except the GMs, of course: A copy of every email is sent to the GMs to allow us to keep tabs on what everyone is planning to do).  Please do not use these emails for out-of-game communication---a quick email to ask someone for alternative contact details is fine, but the GM team get enough emails (over 200 in a typical turn) that OC emails just add to the flood and distract us from things relevant to the game.  Where possible, please have any IC conversations either in session or via the email system. ​ It makes it a lot easier for the GM team to keep tabs on what is going on, and provide a better game.  ​+The function of this is that this system allows you to have IC conversations outside of session without anyone else necessarily seeing them (except the GMs, of course: A copy of every email is sent to the GMs to allow us to keep tabs on what everyone is planning to do).  ​It also keeps your real world email address private from the other players (emails will appear to come from your character email address). ​Please do not use these emails for out-of-game communication---a quick email to ask someone for alternative contact details is fine, but the GM team get enough emails (over 200 in a typical turn) that OC emails just add to the flood and distract us from things relevant to the game.  Where possible, please have any IC conversations either in session or via the email system. ​ It makes it a lot easier for the GM team to keep tabs on what is going on, and provide a better game.  ​

This is especially useful if you use the Gmail + function, for example, and sometimes forget to send from a particular mailbox. If you use an email program that allows you to send from multiple addresses, you can add these to the list of your email accounts by clicking the '​Update Profile'​ button.

 If a character email does not seem to be working, first check that you have the email spelt correctly (by looking at the character'​s [[characters|bio]],​ then check to see if there are any spaces in the email, and if so, replace them with underscores (and let the GMs know so they can fix the link). ​ If that does not work, please contact the GM team.  ​ If a character email does not seem to be working, first check that you have the email spelt correctly (by looking at the character'​s [[characters|bio]],​ then check to see if there are any spaces in the email, and if so, replace them with underscores (and let the GMs know so they can fix the link). ​ If that does not work, please contact the GM team.  ​
