So it was suggested to us that we should look into putting up a chat for the game. While we are not at all averse to the idea, there will obviously be a few things that come with this.

If nothing else, we do not want to answer game-related questions in chat. While people can come in and chat about whatever as well (and the mods will likely be in there shooting the breeze with you) we do want to stress this big point. The mods would not be answering any sort of questions or directing the plot through the chat. Formulating plots is fine, but we do would encourage you to use the plotting community as well as the FAQs page for setting these things up. We will not acknowledge plots that have not been posted in the Ongoing Plots page!

And while this goes without saying, linking or talking about things of pornographic nature (basically, if you have to ask, the answer is always no), linking or talking about graphic graphic content or conducting yourself in chat in a way that makes people uncomfortable is not tolerated. We do reserve the right to ask you to leave chat should it get out of hand.

Because we know that there are some people that do not use AIM, we are also considering using IRC for the chat, as this would create a more static chat room. Feel free to comment here with your thoughts on the matter. Default will likely be AIM, but if you have any other suggestions on where the chat is hosted or on other things regarding the chat, feel free to sound off here. Also, if you have questions as to how the chat will be composed, feel free to ask those here as well.

EDIT: We're going to go ahead and make the chat over AIM. If you want to join, the chat name is "imperialsaga". If you need an invite, feel free to ask one of the mods.

I'd be up for a regular chat. Either AIM or IRC is fine with me, since I can do either without much difficulty. I'd like it to stick to one of those two, though.

can do IRC or aim and fine with this

Either IRC or AIM is fine, but of course, AIM would naturally be a lot more convenient. Either way.

I'd prefer AIM, just because you can't invite people to IRC chats, so it'll be more sparsely populated.

That being said, I'm cool with either one.

Either is fine, but it sounds like AIM is the easiest option.

Thanks for keeping plots out of chat. I wish more games did the same.

Awesome. Glad to hear plots will be kept out of chat.
