MAY-be Chat Month
For the month of May, we're going to try out the Glow Chat System by adding a global channel. It is possible that you'll think of it as the 'public channel' but it is called "Dreamchat". The usual sorts of commands will allow you to access it, such as 'dreamchat', 'dc'. As I am lazy, I leave the other aliases as an exercise for experimentation.
We'll be trying out a variety of settings throughout the month. This week, the channel is configured so that it has to be turned on each time your character connects (unless it is already connected). The channel WILL NOT announce when someone has started listening to the channel.
It is a public channel, anyone might hear what you say on it, so be conscious of that when you use it. Don't have conversations on it that you intend to be private. As always, be careful not to reveal privileged in-character information, do not use the channel as a way of speculating about player alternate characters, and try not to 'reveal your secret identity'. Play your cards close to your chest, just like a superhero.
We're trying it out from 2012 May 1st (Midnight-GMT) through 11:50 PM GMT on May 31st.

I meant to mention some of
I meant to mention some of the basic commands:
dreamchat /help
dreamchat /who (lists who's listening at the moment)
dreamchat /join (but if you try to talk on it, it'll auto-join you)
dreamchat /unjoin
Oh I have missed the Public
Oh I have missed the Public chat. It can be dangerous if abused so I encourage all to be careful what they say lest it fail its test, but its so much fun to be able to OOCly chat with the whole muck.
Tinkering continues!
We've made a change to the way it operates. Lets see who notices!
