It's only to self? That would be even worse, if it were intentional.


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

They haven't specifically said that emails from others were excluded, but the language they use specifies email sent from yourself

I just realized there are two ways to interpret "they expected us".

1. "I expect you to clean your room."
2. "I expect you to sleep till noon."

In case 1 it is what the authority figure wants you to do while in case 2 they are acknowledging you will do it if not stopped.

I meant #2 version of they expected us to try to store things in email.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Nice analogy

Nope. I don't store anything in e-mail for very long. I mainly use it for transfers.

Thank you, that is quite reassuring that this is NOT intentional.
