PPC Lounge

Also known as the PPC chatroom, the PPC Lounge is a hangout for agents and a great place for oldbies and newbies to meet up and discuss Sue-slaying. There is also a Lounge in HQ, usually called the HQ Lounge or just the Lounge to avoid confusion; it was recently set on fire by Unger.

The HQ Lounge
Often used as a setting in the chatroom, the exact details of the HQ Lounge are largely subject to the needs of whatever role-play or random silliness is taking place there. However, based on various agent journals and word-of-mouth, a few details seem generally consistent. For one, it contains a bar, which may or may not have someone behind it to run things; if not, it's self-serve, and its contents may be hazardous if reached into blindly. It stocks itself.

The Lounge also has a variety of comfortable couches, bean-bags, and other seating, and possibly a pillow-fort. The furniture is often subject to accidents, such as being set on fire, and has to be replaced frequently. (At one time it had a nice couch, but chances are someone has made off with it by now.)

It has high rafters, which serve as a refuge for the shy or just a handy perch for people who like high places, particularly those with avian or feline dispositions. It isn't quite clear exactly how high the rafters go up, or how people without wings get up there in the first place.

There may or may not be attached rooms for those who desire privacy, bathrooms, and/or a kitchen with a self-filling fridge. The doors seem to come and go.

It is also riddled with plotholes and destination-shifting Doors, capital D, to other dimensions, so just about anyone can turn up there, from agents to authors to canons.

The Bravenet Chatroom
The Old PPC Lounge is mostly vacant these days, but it has been used in the past to celebrate PPC anniversaries, birthdays, and plain old bacchanalia.

The old PPC Lounge can be found here.

The IRC Chatroom
There is, however, a new PPC chatroom which can be easily found through here, but if you know how to use IRC, the channel is #PPC on irc.blitzed.org.

There are also a few sub-rooms, including #PPC2, which may be used if the main channel is too full.

Chat Rules
After some problems and dispute, the chatroom and all sub-rooms now have finalized rules and a system of responses to rule-breaking. Essentially, they may be summed up as follows:


 * 1) Thou shalt read the PPC Board Constitution. Thou shalt abide by the PPC Board Constitution. You should not have to be told this.
 * 2) Don't be a dick. You should not have to be told this, either.

Please note that this brief summary is not an excuse to skip reading the rules. In fact, here's another link.

Ops
Op, or that star/@ sign next to the names at the very top, means that that person is an Op, or Operator for the channel. That means they can give voice to others, as well as kick or ban people if it is necessary.

List of Ops

 * Permission Givers
 * Maslab
 * Plat
 * July

DAs
Designated Arbitrators are a balance to the Ops. DAs have the authority to table a conversation if it gets too heated, and also to review bans. For a list of DAs, see the main article.

Discussions
Shakespeare Somethingdays have been proposed as a weekly discussion thing to take place in the new chatroom for anyone who is interested.

Quotations
Especially humorous or just plain wacky chat quotes can go here if it pleases anyone. Consider it propaganda to urge you to join.
