SCP Foundation

Recently, there has been some discussion in regards to a "in character" chat room. Not a formal RPG, no dice or sheets or anything…just a free-form chat, and a gentleman's agreement to not be a god-modding assgike.

How would people feel about this? Is this something that we could embrace? my only real concerns are about people getting too involved, and letting things that happen in chat that, while fun, may not make the best SCP entries or logs spill over in to the site. We've been trying to move away from heavy character involvement on the site…but if we can be responsible about this, i don't see why we can't give it a try.

What do you think? Good idea/bad idea? Also, i need ideas for a channel name, if we do decide to start it up. let me know your thoughts!

I'm not opposed to the idea, though I'm wondering why we can't use the current Field Work channel for this purpose. Field Work isn't being used all the time (especially now due to a lack of GMs), and those who are currently doing something in Field Work aren't likely to do something in the IC chat channel, and vice versa.

As long as it doesn't spill out too heavily into the actual Site and such, I like the idea, and I agree with pretty much everything that Cog just said.

As for a channel name…. hmmmm…. I'd say mebbe… hatbot? No wait, that's taken…

Uh…. how about Project:IC? *Shrugs* Never was any good at naming chat devices.

O5 channel

#madhatterbot

It's probably too simplistic, but someone previously made #SCP-IC (I think during the hatbot/zalgo incident) but never used it (as in just popping into the channel, not actually regging it).

Also a vote for said channel.

Bright brought up a interesting point…would it be a full RP room, or just a chat on The Foundation network, left open by some of the system admins (i'm looking at you Pat…) for use by bored staff. Or perhaps something in the middle…

As for name ideas, i have little to nothing to add…I've always been terrible at naming things.

I like the idea of an in character chat room.

Sounds like an interesting idea.

Yes. Please do.
