Mass, Masspersonal and Personal Communication
Identify from your game an instance each of mass, interpersonal or mass personal communication. describe them and discuss how the format was (in)effective in communicating the message
An instance of mass communication is when I am on a server where other people are present and there messages like "Enjoy RisenKingdoms? Need Help? Find a bug? Contact a member of staff and let us know!" these messages are not particularly intended for anyone but they are sent for everyone to see. It is like what we discussed in class as "cultivation of reality"and relying on authoritative figures... It is always telling us that we can contact admin if we want to complain or suggest anything. Even people entering and leaving the server is broadcasted. It is effective especially for newer users like me because they can suggest things like auctions and things I don't even know existed. Also, mass personal communication is present where players use the chat function a mass communication platform to talk to one another. For example in the screencap below (both Mass and Masspersonal Communication are present) people in other worlds in the server are speaking to each other.

My group decided to play together in a server today and it was actually a lot of fun! We didn't use the chat feature on the game itself because we were all together playing anyway but Sanjana unfortunately couldn't come so we had her on Skype. Here is a "family portrait" from my perspective. We played on a bunch of PVP worlds and it was nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. I'm growing to like the game more and more and I'm even starting to play it on my own time!
