I... am so one of those annoying question-asking people.
With the journals/holographic communicators, how are multiple "calls" handled? Do individuals choose to reply to one person at a time; it can be considered delayed responses over time; can people view another conversation unless it is privatized, or is it always privatized be default? As in, what information is a character able to obtain in these journal entries that we, as players, are seeing?
Man, I just don't know what I'm going to do with you. ;D
All journals are public unless otherwise noted. As for how they're 'viewed'; the Sphere can display multiple journals at once. Think of it as a conference call with holograms. It's that feature that will allow for thread-hopping, if people so desire. Holograms can even see each other! Because it's just that much of a luxury ship. Of course, the more players you get the more holograms a character can see at one time, so they can choose to handle them one-on-one or a few at a time; what this means is that it's understood that, when this happens, it can be considered delayed responses over time. Whatever works best for you!
Alright, that makes sense. I also laugh at holograms seeing each other, and some sort of hologram catfight ensuing. This is probably just me, however. ;D
In this case, do the journals also have a recorded history? Or for each new arrival is the journal a blank slate, only showing people currently active from the point of their appearance forward?
