Bryan,

I presume you're asking this question because you saw the open Gunboat game? To be honest, I see little use for "Dark Gray" press, because it can fall into both the "Gray" and "Black" categories--players tend to provide their own headings, and all press can be seen by all players. As such, in a game in which all types of press are permitted, every origin is suspect. There is no need for a GM to deliberately and maliciously alter press.

If you have further questions, feel free to send me an email. Don't forget that players are Hidden from each other in gunboat games, so if you decide to join the game, preserve your anonymity!

Hi folks..

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I can't search a keyword here, and I haven't been able to find an answer online to this.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the difference between Dark Gray and Black press, the difference between "officially" attributing to a fake author and "unofficially" doing it.

At face value, it sounds like officially would be the GM saying, "Hey, this message is definitely from (incorrect author", and unofficially would be them saying "This might or might not come from (incorrect author)", but that doesn't sound right. I'm thinking press wouldn't involve the GM deliberately lying.

Could someone please explain this better to me?

Thanks!


Bryan
