Sounds good to me lol.S is for Summer wrote:If you're going to have a disclaimer, I'd recommend either in the profile, or, better, a small statement at the end of a video's description, which would be visible when someone looks at the video page, but not distract/detract from the video itself.
A common convention in online roleplaying writing games is to use parentheses or brackets to say things out-of-character. (Brackets tend to be better, in my opinion, because they are less often used in everyday stuff, and thus more obvious indicators that something is out-of-character, or OOC.)
An example. I prefer to use brackets, as I just said, but I have to use parentheses here because of the forum code system.
Oh wow, Bree. That's an awesome idea! If you want to talk about it, hit me up on instant messenger. I'd be glad to help out.
(I'm going to be gone for the next day or two, but if you want to just pretend our characters talked about it, that's okay with me. My character probably will just go along with/be excited about whatever Bree's plan is, unless it's really out there. Anyway, I'll be home until 8pm my time, so you can catch me before then if you're not sure. :* Have a good weekend!)
Does that make sense?
I don't really have an opinion on whether the original Lonelygirl/Danielbeast videos need a disclaimer, but I think if the creators go the route of making it so people can make characters of their own and vlogs of their own and all that, it would be a good idea for a standard policy of putting disclaimers in to be introduced. Two widely-known-to-be-fictional vloggers is one thing; a hundred not famous fictional vloggers is another.
It's standard practice in online journal-based roleplaying games at least, where the disclaimer is generally a notice in the userinfo and a link to the community from the journal. It doesn't take away/distract from the game at all, but it does discourage random people happening onto the journals and thinking it real.
I don't get it.
