Next time I host one thing I'm definitely NOT going to do is give more than one person the same PM!
I'm even going to vary the format. Forget doing Role: Power: Etc:. Everyone's getting a completely different PM in layout, format, and content!

I like (when I am not feeling lazy) to give everyone a personalized PM with a little bit of character information in it. Most of that information is unnecessary and doesn't tie directly into the game, but I think it's fun to give people a more immersive experience if they want it.

Buff and I did that in our Ragnarok-game. It was more work but also more fun IMO.

That's my MO from now on. Individual IEPs with a twist. Ah, so you really are a SPED teacher. I thought you might be, but always in the back of my mind I considered you were just a special guy named Ed. A few suggestions for yearly objectives: One year from now, • Jim will write 10 sentences with correct punctuation. Each sentence must contain less than 1 obscenity for every 4 non-vulgar words. Misspelled obscenities do so count, mister. • Terry will ask questions about the instructions or materials presented to ensure comprehension. She will ask as many questions as necessary to completely drive her teacher around the bend. Success will be measured by evaluating the number and severity of the tics observed on the teacher. • Tom will use a datebook for appointments and assignments. He will not be required to show up for the appointments on time if at all nor do any of the assignments. He just has to note them in his datebook. Baby steps. • Brianna will stand at least two feet away from the other person while conversing. (Man she has the worst breath imaginable and when she gets excited and the spit starts to fly, look out.) • Ron will point independently to pictures described. He will refrain from describing, in detail, how he imagines the pictures would look if all the people in them decided to walk about sans clothing. This includes the invisible people as well as the imaginary ones.

I thought you might be, but always in the back of my mind I considered you were just a special guy named Ed. yeah, that was a Scum slip if ever there was one. I even previewed and didn't notice anything odd with my post. I wonder how many people read it and wondered what the hell I was talking about? And you probably only noticed the redundancy. Funny thing is, I'm not even Ed. A long time ago, I took the name Mr Special Ed on yahoo. long before you needed to add numbers to get anything resembling a word. I used to tell people I was a talking horse with a learning disability. Most people didn't respond to that. It's sorta stuck since then.

Mr. Special Ed: To be clear I didn't mean to mock the whole SPED thing, (well maybe a little bit ) The first bits of all the yearly objectives I posted were copied from a NY state site. Just so you know, my kidlet was a SPED* kid 24 years ago, I think, if I did the math right. At that time getting "labeled" was a major concern. It was one of the hardest things we ever did and one of the best things we ever did. The kidlet is now a Clinical Psychologist. *She had an IEP, that's how I outed you, but definitely not as scum. We still have her yearly IEP's on file in the basement. Funny the stuff you don't throw away. Oh and yeah, I did notice the redundancy.

It's sad that it's sometimes needed to hold a school accountable for doing what it should be doing anyway, but that's a whole 'nother soapbox I'm not going to get on. Maybe we could have a Special Education Mafia game sometime..... maybe not..

My setups are all open, with fully public PMs, so I'm free to use cut-and-paste as I please. ;D
