About the Chat Rooms

Currently we have five IC rooms.  When you first enter the chat area, you will be in the ((OOC Lounge)).  As should be obvious by the title, this is an Out of Character room, where players can talk to each other. 

The White Hart Inn is a Medieval/fantasy inn, with a bar, tables, rooms for rent.

Wyrmwood is also an IC room.  It is a huge forest spanning more than a thousand miles.  Great for outdoor scenes.

Dead Eye Saloon. The Wild West comes to Sralos.com with Dead Eye Saloon. Strap on your six-gun and have a whiskey!

Space Station Delta. Okay, the name sucks, but I'm terrible with names. If you have a suggestion for a better one, please let me know.

Tommy G's Speakeasy is a prohibition era speakeasy located in the heart of Chicago's underworld. Bring your flappers out to play.

There could be more rooms available in the future, but these should do for now.  If you have suggestions for additional rooms, please contact me.  I'd love to hear from you!

Who Can Play?

The rooms are open to all registered users of Sralos.com.  Please try to respect the IC settings and other players by keeping OOC comments to a minimum.  You can send an IM to other players by clicking on their names and selecting "instant message" from the drop down menu.

How to Express Yourself in Chat

The basics are very simple.  Sets of double colons denote your character's actions.

::She climbs the porch steps of the White Hart.::

The colons are also used for your character's thoughts.

::She wonders if anyone is here at this hour.::

And of course you can do a combination. 

::Glancing quickly around the room, she sighs to see no familiar faces.  She really does not like to drink alone.::

Dialogue, or conversation, needs no colons or quotation marks.

Good Evening!

If used in combination with actions and thoughts, dialogue goes outside of the colons.

::Startled by the greeting, she wonders who it can be. She turns around to see her old friend.::  Fair eve to you, Martin!

That should be enough to get you started.  Some people use other symbols to denote narrative thought and action, but when I started roleplaying on AOL  everyone used colons, so that's what I'm passing on to you.   

Enough already!   Let's Play!
