The Madhatter and the Madhaters

[Wolf]

Hi this is Wolf TPO DR. Longfellow AKA the guy who inadvertently trolled some of you as the Madhatter.

While the post had the desired outcome in the end it would seem that it does not “count” because I did not let an ST know who I was, and how it was being distributed. I have since been reprimanded (beat within an inch of my life by 2 guys in ski masks.).

But Wolf what’s your point?

I’m glad I asked me.

In my plots I told no one I was doing this (as any good plotter plots only with himself) Yet it came to pass that 5 (yes FIVE) people KNEW I posted that (None were ST’s BTW)… WTF I ask, the only thing I didn’t do was spoofing my IP. How the hell did 5 people know I did this? This isn’t the 1st time information has changed hands with regards to my character either. It’s become a bit of an issue all around if you ask me. (Or see vampst.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=Rules&thread=14439&page=1 )

As far as the IC board goes I didn't know everything posted there was something that found its way to every mother out there. If that’s the case I need to delete all of my IC posts. As I don’t want that s’ biting me in the ass. I thought it was like a showcase of things to show off to the actors not something that was broadcast to the damn Kindred world.

TLDR

My bad bout the Madhatter posts, but it met its purpose.

XOXO,
WOLF

P.S. Harkness made me do it.

I knew it!

I didn't *know* but I suspected to the point where Longfellow was going to reap the rewards regardless of whether i (or Tom) was right or not.

My biggest problem was I needed to know how the rumors were being passed around so I could actually do some role playing based on the 'facts' ie. how the info interacted with the game world. How info is brought to Tom makes a big difference. There are times when he's just riding his crazy and could not give a single fuck. And other times, well, I'll leave that for Longfellow to find out...

As for how I knew, that's easy. Your character was one of about three non Malkavians that Tom has interacted with for any serious length, and the only one of those who stood to gain by making waves politically - and the only on arrogant enough to attempt to use Tom in that way. The 'Mad Hatter' flavor was pretty transparent as well, an outsider's nickname for a guy that wears an anachronistic hat. But dont feel bad, if you'd have named Morris Tobias Mr. Tick Tock we'd have gotten it too.

Just so everyone understands, stuff about your character having antics is public to players but still secret to *characters*. Stuff where you are (or at least seem to be?) sending a direct message to other *characters* that they are supposed to actually receive can be actually receivable by them and should be explained in an in-world way.

No one has to worry about a story they write about how their sire embraced them or whatever "going public" because you wrote it on the boards. But if it's not a story, if it's a transmissin of information, it makes sense that the information is transmitted. Just pick which one it is, that's up to you and your responsibility, too.

So are you saying it was never distributed IC?

[Sethron]

Yup. We're saying it was never distributed IC. That was the desire of the original poster.
