System/fan-mail

During the course of the game, characters receive "fan mail"; these are points representing a character’s popularity with the audience (aka the other players). The active a character is, the more fan mail she receives. The more fan mail she receives, the more influence she gets over the stories.

Getting Fan Mail

Every player gets two points of fan mail per log they appear in. Players give fan mail to other people’s characters—you cannot give yourself fan mail—when they like (or hate) what a character has done.

You cannot give fan mail to the same character more than once a week.

The Admins may also an additional give point of fan mail to characters as a reward for particularly good scenes.

Secrets and Truths

You can use a point of fan mail to add a new Secret or Truth about the Town.

Saying No

You can also use fan mail to say "No" when someone uses a secret to persuade your character (see Secrets). Saying "No" requires spending three points of fan mail.
