his section contains all pertinent game information, including the type of chat room we use, how our chat is formatted when a game is in progress, and our game schedule. Please read this section carefully if you are applying to the game.

 

The X-Women RPG takes place in a private chat room. 'Drifters' and 'lurkers' are not allowed and the URL of the chat room is only given out to members who have signed up and gotten on the rolls. The chat room is Java-based, so please make sure your web browser is compatible with Java before you sign up for the game. (Hint: to run Java you need at least Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0.) Netscape often won't run Java chat rooms even with the proper versions, so Internet Explorer is preferred by the game staff.

Your chat nickname is not set; you must type it in every time you log into the chat room. Your nickname must be the name of the character you play, no exceptions. You will be asked to log out and log in with a proper name if you do not follow this rule.

 

When the RPG is in progress, all players must adhere to the formatting rules outlined here.

TELEPATHIC CONVERSATION TAKES PLACE IN TWO COLONS: ::Where are we, Emma?::
