It has been pointed out that people are going Not Here and Here pretty
randomnly. I don't know that this was made clear in the rules, so I'll
state it here.
You shouldn't go Not Here in the middle of a room or corridor in general.
If it's a mechanic, that's one thing, the mechanic will tell you what to
do. If you're going out of game (for the night, to go home, to go to a
movie, to go to work, whatever), you should get as far towards wherever it
is you're going as you can while still being in game area, then go Not
Here. If you are waiting of a GM and need to get the question answered
before you go into game, you shouldn't poof into existance in the hallway;
at least go around the corner before you flip your badge. Don't flip yuor
badge around in front of other characters at all if you can possibly help
it.
Note that going to the bathroom etc is not a reason to go Not Here--your
character has to do that too.
Also note that when you come into game (again, unless you need to aska GM
something before you can talk to anyone else), go Here when you arrive on
campus (or leave your dorm room).
In general: the badge is not a teleport device. Please try to preserve
"realism." (if you go Not Here, try and go Here again around the same
place)
Thanks
