Using Social Media

Post by Veil »

Post Types
Under each of the social media categories, feel free to post either a topic, a summary, or a reaction.

A topic will follow a specific post and its replies and reactions across users (i.e., He's A 10). This is perfect for things like Twitter and Facebook.

A summary is a general description of content, usually kept as a single thread updated with the latest content from the same user. This is best for things like YouTube and Twitch. Posts like this can be either an overall channel summary (i.e., "the Game Grumps are known for Let's Plays with no face cam where they more sit and talk rather than focus on actual gameplay" or "Addison Rae has a background in dance and her videos often see her taking on TikTok challenges or lip syncing and dancing to music") or the breakdown of a specific upload (i.e., "Bella Poarch's next TikTok is her lip syncing Millie B's M to the B" or "The latest Watcher video finishes season 1 of Ghost Files by doing a ghost hunt search of the Hobo Hill House." These can be as vague or in depth as you like.

A reaction is a spin-off post of a summary, which basically turns a summary into a topic while keeping clutter out of the summary thread. So if Peaches posts up a new Instagram of a Slayer cosplay in her summary, TFG can start a new thread called "TFG Reacts: Slayer Cosplay" where people can respond and react in that thread instead.

Emulators
If you want to help with immersion, you can use any of the following emulators to make fake social media posts: NSFW
Make sure to add an [NSFW] tag if you're posting content that isn't something that could be casually pulled up on a work computer.
That said, if people want to post overtly raunchy stuff, you can access OnlyFans by joining the NSFW usergroup. To access, go to your User Control Panel, select the 'Usergroups' tab, and join the NSFW group.

Weight
If you have the right backgrounds (most notably Fame), you can throw more weight behind a response. If Ruben has fame 4 and wants to retweet something Peaches says, he could simply post that he is amplifying the message. For anything for more complicated than that: such as having your Kinfolk 3 background retweet or using influence, that is handled in a downtime post in your character area.

Staff may make a post showing the general concursus of a post.

Consequences
If you post that "Werewolves should just kill all humans, we are stronger" expect there to be negative repercussions. Moderate allies might back away, you might get doxxed, being noticed by hunters, or you might lose sponsorships.
These consequence can also be applied to anyone adding weight to your post.
