if you are unable to make it to this event, don’t fret. we will continue to host various events at different times of day throughout the semester to ensure folks in other timezones can participate.
time: sunday, october 24th, 12:30pm eastern.
location: ic - waikiki beach
ooc - we will be using a site extremely similar to chatzy that does not limit the number of participants; link upcoming.
attire: halloween costumes !!
note — since this is many members’ first ic chat event, here are guidelines:
for this event, we highly recommend you use a computer browser and not mobile, if possible. i don’t know if chatzy works on mobile, but i haven’t tried it before.
to enter the chatzy event, you will automatically enter as a guest when you click the link. once you enter, click your name in the right sidebar and then choose the option “change nickname.” format your nickname like this: Name (referred/pronouns)
admin nia or cris will be talking ic as dean murphy during the event to help things along. other surprises may pop up if drama is lagging, but hopefully it won’t be necessary.
to interact in the event, simply write a sentence or two in the chat text link and submit. it will appear in the chat room. if you haven’t used chatzy before, it is extremely simple and is literally just a private online chat room.
when writing in the event, use storybook type writing and present tense, as all things are happening at the exact same time in the event. the characters are literally in the ballroom moving about and interacting.
example 1: Mark gingerly walks over to the bar and looks at the bartender. “Can i get a rum and coke?”
example 2: “What the hell are you wearing?” Lena asks mark, eyeing his extravagant suit.
