It's really annoying when I get all excited about new posts, and then I find out it's just two people using a shittier version of pms while speaking in different languages. |

They're not exactly analogous to PMs though. |

Namely, they are publicly available information, therefore you don't get in trouble for passing on a key. (you aren't showing a screen or forwarding a pm, but you can essentially 'unlock' things for other people, say upon a death... or ensuring a message posted via proxy came from the appropriate person.) |

But what's actually the point? I really don't get it at all. Also AustinFathman, we are allowed to print out a screen and show it to people and we are allowed to verbatim quote communications with other players, (though I still have no clue how to begin understanding what's going on, so there might still be arguments for using cryptography) |

Chiming in to say I'm also super confused. |

aok said "You may not show anyone a computer/phone screen, forward a screenshot, or repeat/copy verbatim communication from god (Exception: private rules clarifications may be copied verbatim). You may print out a computer/phone screen to show, and you may copy verbatim communication with other players." So I'm not sure what cryptography lets you do that pms wouldn't. |

TBH, I think people are excited about the new toy they have and are problem coming up with some devious schemes |
