RolePlayGateway™

I've been on this site since June and I still can't figure out the most basic thing on the chat.

How do I start? I know how to go IC and everything, I'm just not sure how I should work my way in. Like if there are a bunch of other people in the chat, do i just jump in? Even without knowing the basic story of what is going on? Please help me on the matter, I think the chat looks fun! Oh, and thanks for reading this.

The story so far about Gambit's Bar is this:

The bar has recently been taken over by a sinister organization. Whether you want to enforce the rule of law or fight the tyrants and restore Gambit's to the free haven it originally was, not to mention allow the staff to be their own masters, is your decision. On the side, you can have a drink and organize a great adventure with other characters.

Good luck, and have fun!

To go IC, you simply type /ic [your character's name here]. (I'm pretty sure. I haven't been on for a while so I'm not exactly sure. Someone else can probably make sure I'm correct.)

If there's a roleplay going on and most everyone is already in character, you should probably just ask what's going on. Someone's bound to give you a quick explanation of what's happened thus far. If no one answers you, then pick a random person (preferably someone IC) and send then an in chat message asking for a quick summary. If you're interested in joining, just ask. It tends to be pretty open so that anyone can join, but sometimes groups of people will go to another room so that they can do a private roleplay over the chat.

Hope that helped. The chat is really fun but it can be pretty confusing. I'd go on more often but my internet has a tendency to cut out in the middle of everything so that I end up having to spend more time logging in than actually chatting with everyone.

Wow, it got taken over? I'm new so this stuff kinda applies to me too. Where can I get the full story?

You know those News Beacon thingies that pop up every 15 minutes or so in the IC channels? You should read them more often. :3

XD Yeah, about 2 minutes after posting the question I saw one and clicked...So totally doing that more...And they seem to only appear in the bar. >_>
