PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS
general pc information.
Private conversations are a crucial element to playing this game. You may set up or take part in as many of these as you would like, and in fact are encouraged to reach out to as many different players as possible! As many characters as you like may be included in a single private conversation, which only needs to be reported one time by one player.
If you're new to setting up private filters, there's a tutorial here that should provide helpful instruction!
Using their phones, characters may also send private text messages to each other! Maybe you just need to relay a quick bit of information, or perhaps you can't find someone and want to see where they're at. These essentially work the same as private conversations but over text instead of being in-person threads, although they may transition to the latter. There is no limit on the number of text messages that characters may send.
Please note that by default, private conversations cannot take place during trial on Saturday. This includes text messages, which will be disabled, with certain exceptions that will be explicitly noted.
Regardless of who you're starting a conversation with, please make sure to include the mod journal,

dormheads, on your filters for all private threads, as we need to have access to all private conversations. Please try to report your private conversations within 24 hours of when they begin, so we can stay caught up and as it may affect certain game mechanics. Friendly tip: it's easiest if the person who starts the PC reports it to this page for organizational purposes and to avoid overlap, etc!Also, when reporting PCs, please include the day of the week as well as the name of who you're threading with in the comment.
Finally, even if your character has died, characters in the graveyard may have private conversations amongst themselves as well! These also must be reported.

» Emojis, kaomojis, and meme generators are enabled on all devices.
» There is a text-to-speech option for reading and writing any text on the screen! In case you're blind. Or can't read.
