DIRECTIONS

Now, before I write about stuff for those who do not know about IRC, here's a message for those who DO know about IRC. The server is irc.xelium.net and the channel is #LCN.

Now, for those who do not have experience with IRC. The first thing you should do is get an IRC client. X-Chat and mIRC are popular ones. Download and install your client.

There should be a text box where you can type things. Type "/server irc.xelium.net". Once it finishes connecting, type "/join #LCN". You should now be in the IRC channel for Lacrima Castle. If the channel is empty when you come in, try joining at a different time.

There are many other commands, but here are a few that will be useful:

"/nick NameHere" will allow you to change your name. Obviously, you should replace "NameHere" with the name you want to change to.

"/me ActionHere" will show something as an action. For example, if I type "/me dances!" it will show up as "* Rhiannon dances!" or something similar.

"/msg NameHere MessageHere" will allow you to send private messages to people who are online at the time. Of course you should replace "NameHere" with the name of the person, and "MessageHere" with the message you wish to send.

You should also register your name if you plan on being in the channel regularly. To do this, type "/msg nickserv register PasswordHere EmailHere". You should replace "PasswordHere" for the password you want to set with the name, and "EmailHere" with your email address.

Note: Some commands will differ depending on which IRC client you're using.

That ends my short guide to getting to the channel. Of course, if you're fine with using Java or already know about how IRC works, then there's no point in reading all of this. But anyways, if anyone has ANY questions/problems involving the channel, post them here. Or at the least, in this section.

GUIDELINES/RULES (Read these please)

We don't have many rules. Actually, the only thing that I really consider a clear "rule" is NO SPOILERS. We have no spoiler tags in the channel, so we have to be really careful about this. If you really want to discuss spoilers with someone, take it the forum (where we have spoiler tags) or take it to a PM.

I'll probably make more rules as more problems come up and as the channel becomes more popular.

Until then, just use common sense and don't ignore it when the ops warn you. Because there aren't any rules set out, we are going to be lenient about the amount of time people will stay banned. What I mean, is, if you get banned it will probably only be temporary unless you've been banned multiple times before, or if it was something unforgivable.

And since we're on the Xelium network, we need to follow their rules, which are listed here. If there's something you don't understand in there, don't worry. It's unlikely that it applies to you in that case. But if you want to be sure about it, you can always ask me what something means. I'm more than willing to help you guys.

Wow, thats a bit of typing you've done, thanks. I think I'll join the channel for real.

heh. so far, the only new member to actually join the channel, is blues.

It is my second home...besides the can. But java just seems so much simplier than that. Is there a spell check on this site? 0_0

WARONG

But anyways.
Stop posting here unless you're contributing to the first post.

As a general rule, the channel is vulgar and isn't recommended for people under 18 and/or retarded morons.

Also, if you spoil any recently released game, I'll ban you.

The channel is only vulgar when you're awake.

No, it's pretty vulgar when Shinie is around too.
And me.

And when Rhia and valkan get together.

...What? It's not vulgar when me and Val are together...

it is when Rhia and I get together though ...

But it's vulgar when you're there anyway.

Just posting to let you guys know that I added a bit more about the rules. Actually, I'm just warning you guys about being careful with spoilers, which I really should have done earlier. I don't think too far ahead. Anyway, yeah. Be more careful from now on. I'm also probably going to edit it again soon and change the title of the topic and stuff to specify that it's more than just directions...
