The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
Messages
What it is
What you write is in black and white. Messages are conversations between players. Signals are notices from the game, like a casino takeover, a fine or a murder. Your own message shows the nickname of the account you're playing on. If the conversation name doesn't match the messages, the title uses the other sender. You can't reply to messages from the system account.
Where to find it
Messages, and the signals sheet in the HUD.
How it works
A message is at most 500 characters.
You send at most 20 messages per minute.
No links allowed. The profanity filter applies here too.
You delete a conversation with the trash can. You have to confirm it first.
You close a signal with the cross. The Notifications badge counts every unread notice (99+ when needed). Opening the sheet marks ordinary signals read; invites stay until you handle them. The row is kept.
Costs, returns and limits
Costs nothing. When a casino table is taken over, both players see it in Signals and in Messages.
