(photo:ziggy sa)FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE
NOT ALL THAT COMFORTABLE
WITH "BLOGOCOMBAT"...
AND PREFER TO BE
GENTLE AND MATURE...
HERE ARE SOME ALTERNATIVES
YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER:
* verbal volleyball (per Liz Strauss)
* opinion billiards
* suggestology soccer
* intervention vaulting
* grovel golf
* gestural gardening
* beliefs bowling
* unity aikido
* reason wrangling
* justice jousting
* ecumenical minesweeping
* echolalic eclat
* assertion applique
* confrontation collage
* rationalization rugby
* dogma doping (WARNING: illegal in some extreme debate venues)
* self-pity squash racketing
* solicitous solfeggio
* scapegoat scavenger hunting
* polarization parading
* bellicose badminton
* discursive saber rattling
* creed croquet
* gambit gewgawing
* web-centric wainscotting
* bailiwick balustrading
* hieratic harangue
* doctrinal drainpiping
* recommendation roistering
Personally I use all of the above, plus full out blogocombat, when I meet with clients or staff.
I suggest you do the same.
Or begin new xommunication xhannels, like the playbots in Wyvern.

CHATS
Wyvern offers many ways to chat and socialize, including shouts, whispers, tells, group-tells, guild tells, "say", non-verbal emotes, wiztells, pktells, in-game email, and other mechanisms. The most popular channels are tell (over 11.4 million to date), shout (over 6 million), and say (over 3.75 million).
We've also logged over 1.2 million guild-tells, a quarter million PK channel tells, and over half a million wiz-tells (those Wizards sure are talking about you a lot!) Wyvern players are evidently not shy about sharing their feelings — we only get about 3 whispers per day.
Finally, we introduced a player-warning system in mid-2003, to help players police the game. We've had over 15,000 player warnings issued since we enabled that feature. Great job, folks!
