Privacy Levels

In Mush: Respored, Actions and other events generate entries as Room Events logs of the room they took place in. However, not everyone can see the log of every action. Whether or not a room log will be made visible is determined at the time the action takes place, based on its Privacy Level. If you want to keep your actions hidden from other crew members, you must be aware of your surroundings and the privacy levels associated with the actions.

Levels of Privacy
Simply put, there are multiple levels of room logs privacy:



A general guideline to follow in identifying the privacy of room logs:


 * If you can't see your own room logs, neither can anybody else. (Exception: can see in what direction characters leave rooms, while everyone else can't)
 * If your /  room log is revealed, you'll know because the respective icons will be changed to  / . Everyone else will be able to see it, too, when they're browsing the logs in the room, essentially turning the logs into  logs.
 * If a message refers to "You" in second person, only you can see it.

Other thing you should keep in mind about room logs: allows the owner to view room logs in the last 16 cycles. Everyone else can only view them for 8 cycles. (Note that even you can't view logs of your own actions after they disappear).

Definitions
It is important to note the differences between:


 * 1) The Room Logs; and
 * 2) The Actions that generate these logs.

The Levels of Privacy described above are associated to the Room Logs, not the Actions


 * Room Logs: Visibility affected by, , , , and the presence of any character
 * Actions: Can only be made visible by, and

So, does this mean any action generating or  room logs are always safe to carry out? Not necessarily. A person with can force you to spit out your last few actions to the torturer, regardless of privacy level for 1 ! The number of actions that gets revealed increases (up to 8) as your goes down. The reason why this skill bypasses privacy is because it doesn't reveal room logs...it reveals actions. In addition to that, the skill allows the owner to see the last action of a person in any room, at the cost of 1. Like, it bypasses privacy levels as it reveals actions.

Also, keep in mind that a single action can produce multiple room logs at different privacy levels. For example, when you eat any consumable as a, a room log is generated as usual. However, there'll also be a log generated for yourself, reminding you that as a Mush, you do not reap the benefits of the consumable!
