My jaw hasn't gotten off the floor yet.





Skype is a useful tool when used properly- to settle disputes, go "ZOMG HALP WE'RE GETTING PWNED", and to do sensitive planning/brainstorming. But I agree, the forums and ingame are far more effective- and can be even more effective than we usually have them be. Compare your average comm channel thread to the Rheinland government's invitation to the GMG guildmasters a few months ago. Then again, there's still a problem with that- it's people giving presentations back and forth. It's a dialogue, but it can be a bit awkward sometimes, and Skype is more natural for some talks. Then again, make sure you always know if a skype chat is in or out of roleplay... (I'm looking at you, Divine).

We have a lot of tools at our disposal to make things more immersive. Since you've pointed it out, I think my next communique will be more along the lines of this rather than the usual "incoming transmission". Mm, now I want to write more stories...
