Woah! I didn't even realize they weren't standard procedure! XD
Of course you need You're Dead PMs, and not just to safeguard against situations like Gyrys where people haven't been around/paying attention.
Another reason is that many people check their PMs before the thread, and may even reply to them. If they don't know that they are dead, then they might do some inadvertent post death information sharing.

This is exactly why we need "You're Dead" PM's. I think it's also a nice thing for the GM to say. You know, to let the deceaced know that they are dead.Regy Rusty wrote:Of course you need You're Dead PMs, and not just to safeguard against situations like Gyrys where people haven't been around/paying attention.

Re: Rule Discussion Topic! (A place to help make a change!)
I voted the wrong one...I meant to vote for the top choice. ^^;
For the record, I'm one of those people who usually check their PM's first. Though to be fair, if people are going to be so unobservant and lazy as to not check what they missed while they were offline, then perhaps the punishment they get for posting in the LT after dying will teach them better?
But yeah, "You Are Dead" PM's make life a bit easier for the people playing. Annoying to the people who GM, though. >_> For that reason, perhaps it should be up to the GM's discretion, based on their trust of the people playing to uphold their agreement to read the LT first?

Or the GM could take 15 seconds to paste a pre-written PM that just says
"You are dead! Report to the Dead Thread immediately!"
and send it off.

and send it off.
