HexaDoken:
Activate...?
What the hell are you talking about? We do not activate explosives. We goddamn explode them.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Is that drawing still on the way, Silhar? I don't want to rush you, but on the other hand I don't want us making too many assumptions.

I tried and tried and tried, but my scanner is badly messed up. I can't publish it. Let's just say that your assumptions are alright until now.
Sylith:
Guys, btw, I'm just curious.
Why use spoilers for things like "I'm loading my pistol"? You want to hide it from everyone else or what?
Don't get me wrong but I'm used to describing all your actions like you're writing a book and it's a first time I see something like this in PBF, so I don't really get it. Also I don't really see the point for hiding actions like this (not to mention it's probably not so easy to hide without the rest noticing you're doing something)...
Just why? What for?
I'm also asking because when I'll be playing I probably won't be reading spoilers unless it will be pointed I should and it's for me, not for GM... and that might cause some misunderstanding.
Klear:
We hide OOC stuff in spoilers so it doesn't ruin immersion... or something.
If there's something you shouldn't know, you will be notified before the spoiler (such as with the awareness roll earlier).
Sylith:
I noticed, I just don't understand it. Why write OOC when you can come up with some pretty description of your actions?
I'm used to think about PBFs like about a book where every person is a narrator, just with a little restrictions. You can write "X smiled happily and reached for his gun. The he reloaded it, so he could react quickly in case something bad jumped from behind the corner". And I think we all can agree it's a little more entertaining than simple "I take my gun and reload it" in spoiler.
