Personal Ad Clarification
Just as a reminder, The City is completely responsible for the personal ads. The City wrote and published them as a "favor" to your characters.
Some of your characters may be getting messages from other characters. Unless you granted permission to do so no one can link the message to your character. The mod reply to each phone message is so that we as players can see who's getting the messages. Any character receiving messages is not in the least obligated to respond. This is primarily for the lulz.
You may assume that NPCs from The City have been leaving messages too. Feel free to write a narrative featuring all the hilarious replies that could be or reference them in any of your logs. Have fun with the plot!
And if you have any questions or concerns you may poke BB in the eye with a spoon. (Even if this plot is pretty much all Ted's fault.)
