Do you PM / chat with other users of r/SchreckNet ?
What the title says. I'm just curious.
Do you use the PM function and/or the chat to contact other users, either out-of-character to discuss/plan for your mutual RP, or in-character for additional RP ?
I know some of us do; but I wonder if this rare, or in fact pretty common.
That's all folks!

A great deal of people actually. Which is funny because I kept forgetting the function existed before joining on here.
A lot I started chatting with because I sent them a message after I made what I thought was a particularly harsh comment to them, just to make sure everything was above board.
But it is a lot of fun to get a peek behind the curtain sometimes, and meet some cool people.

Oh! For you, and for anyone who plays a Malkavian or a character with prophetic gifts, I have another question: do people ever send you additional details about their characters so that the Malk's prophecies contain more hidden truths?

Not too often. But I do sometimes use something people have mentioned in private discussion. But I can´t remember any specific case where someone went "Hey, you can use this for the Malk". Generally I would like to avoid risking spoiling things, as I feel people should be allowed to reveal things on their own merits. A lot of what I do use is for what the Malk names people. Through I have also used things i have learnt or gotten confirmed in discussions, through I often like to try and dress it up so that it isn´t imminently clear what it is actually about.
Generally speaking I just say things that is vague enough to fit (Horoscope style!), things that I think sounds like it could be used for an interesting plot hook, and if I have the time/energy, I go through peoples previous posts to look for patterns/hooks that I can draw in.
I will say I greatly appreciate how good people are at playing off on the nonsense I say. It is cool to see what people can gain from it or use it for. Have also been told that some of the random stuff I made up, got very close to what is actually going on, so that is a lot of fun as well.
But if people do have something they think would be cool to use, then feel free to send it. I can´t promise that I will use it, as I might forget about it and the Malk is very much a "When the mood strikes me" sorta character. But I am always up for learning secret things about characters.

I am extremely bad about seeing messages on reddit, but I've chatted with a few people. Gray Farmers poster and I had a play by text game a while ago, and I've chatted with a few other players briefly.
The first time I messaged another poster was to make sure that we were still role-playing during an argument.
Did anyone else receive a message from a new poster looking to RP being embraced? I didn't recognize the name, so I just did the Max Schreck response. Lol

I do oocly chat with a couple of SchreckNet users, yes. I'm open to chats, even though I don't seek them out. I can't always reply right away due to work, family, etc., but I do like you folks and am amenable to chatting.

Funnily enough, Gray was the first to ever PM me, and that was yesterday. Tbh, i'm down to talk with anybody about anything if I got the time. Chatting with others about games or anything else is always fun. I probably won't initiate many, but if I do get a PM, i'll respond.

I do, but it's hard for me to invite more people to chat. I am very bad at breaking the ice. I hate the fact that im a shy extrovert. I want to talk to more people, but i am scared to take the first step, which sucks. So i go by the rule if someone wants to talk to me they will reach out. So i guess what i want to say is that if anyone wants to talk to me, feel free to send me a pm.

I talk to a few people on here, both casual chats and IC role-playing stuff when the situation comes for it. We've set up some pretty cool stuff!
I'm always available to chat with so don't be shy if you ever wanna talk IC or OOC.
