Hey guys, Since we're nearing the start date, I figured I should probably go ahead and tell you all how we'll be playing. As mentioned elsewhere, we'll be using a site called Mibbit, which is a browser-based IRC client that's pretty simple to use. The first thing you'll want to do is create an account, which you can do by clicking the link in the top-right corner. This is mostly a way to keep your settings and such, and will allow some more advanced options that we might use later down the line. For now, though, we'll just stick to the basics. On the main Mibbit page, you should see this: Click at the 'Connect' drop-down box, then scroll down to and select 'Rizon [webirc]'. In the 'Nick' field you'll put your desired nickname, usually POS_Rnk_Surname, e.g. CO_Capt_Sumner. In the 'Channel' field type either #STABLounge or your ship channel, which will be #USSChiron, #USSZorya, or #USSTempest. It should look something like this: Click connect, and you'll pop into the proper room after a 2-3 seconds (depending on your connection speeds). Use the /join command to enter the second room (e.g. /join #USSZorya or /join #STABLounge), and you're all set. See? Simple! To disable Mibbit's unfortunate smileys, see this thread. For those of you who would prefer to continue using your separate IRC clients, the server you want to connect to is rizon.mibbit.org. There will be a lot of channels, so you'll want to use the /join command instead of selecting from the list, most likely. As always, let me or one of the other Admins know if you have any questions

Hey gang! As we've all learned, Mibbit can be a bit, uh, finicky. If the site is giving you trouble, but you still don't want to go the dedicated client route, there's an alternative: Rizon. It's used more or less the same way as Mibbit, except you don't have to select the Rizon server, as that's the only server it uses! Just go to the page and click the 'Go Chat' button: And then input your info on the next page, like so: Now just click 'connect,' and you should be good to go!
