Occasionally, Honor's Hand will be played in a real time chat session. This will usually be because the characters are involved in an extended period of combat (or similar activity) where everyone's actions must be tracked to a granularity of a few seconds.
To access the chat select: "Game Connect" from the player's area. Only players have access to the chat itself, however the chat sessions will be logged, broken up, and posted to the discussion group to keep it consistent.
Characters will be expected to follow the same procedures for dice rolls in the chat as for the discussion groups, i.e.: using the dice roller and rolling code form.
When using the chat I recommend you have an extra browser window open on both locations. Then you can just refresh the window when you need to use it.
In general posts to the chat should follow the same guides lines as those for the discussion groups.
However, due to the interactive nature of chatting, both in character and out of character posting is allowed - to attempt to use the OOC list in the middle of a chat would slow things down too much.
When making an out of character comment in the chat please enclose it in a bracket of some sort, for example: "[ ] , or { } , or < >". You may use whichever one you prefer.
