Ah yes, the classic mistake of using Reply at bad timing: right when somebody else send you a tell, and that precious information is sent to the wrong person.

What do you all think? Is that information considered OOC info?

I voted no because if you're sending a really really precious piece of information, you should always use "tell XXX" to ensure delivery of it to the right person (unless of course someone's being a sneaky little --). Using only the tell command is also useful when you're talking to 5 different people at once. And if you're talking to invisible or hidden "someones," I don't think you should be relaying important info anyway. Just my thoughts.

I treat it like a typo and do my best to disregard. My character has done it enough for me to hope others do the same... :oops:

things that occur in real life that we must handle the consequnces for:

misdirected texts
misdirected emails
misdirected luggage
misdirected childhoods
misdirected sem--err

i should probably stop there

point being, we make mistakes, and it's wholly conceivable that a character could mentally confuse two people. all that information is fair game, as far as i'm concerned.

Hah. I've gotten some interesting mistells before (like Orius claiming he had recalled away while Kawl and I were locked in the Temple of Murder, saying he was coming back, and he sent a mistell that he was right outside, toying with us. :P) and I always treat them ICly. If I lived in a world where I could send magical mental messages to people, I know receiving several messages from several people at once could make anyone confused... it's very IC, in my opinion.

But I wish there was a better way to deal with it than saying "wrong mind" just like I wish there was a better way to leave the realms... I mean, when you log off, where do you go?

Or like happiness in Grep's similes.

It's definitely IC.

Just like if you say, "I'm going to go sex that dog. / ooc: whoops, hex* lol" you still said you were going to sex a dog, and best get to explaining yourself in character.

God, that annoys me.

I have always played them as IC. I rp out the mishap as well. I have given and received some very juicy info from mistells before. I think it adds spice to communicating via long range telepathy.
