My other username is Maniacal Engineer.

Guess why!

Oh dear.
That doesn't even warrant a guess, but here:


So, one thing I want to clarify before jumping into a game - how does the outside thread communication thing work anyway? I'm from forums that disallow all outside thread communication unless specified by role.

First of all, that video is hilarious.

As far as your question regarding OC, it depends on the game host. For example, Elieson's mafia game prohibits OC, while my game (which has since finished) allowed OC.
In this forum, OC can work in several ways.
On the old server, QuickTopic was used a lot, as only up to 5 people could be involved in a single conversation and we had a maximum PM limit.
PMs were another way of communication, and are generally used to submit actions to the hosts, unless you are mafia, in which case you have your own QT, where action and the NK are submitted. Skype has also been used for OC in some games.
If OC is allowed, it is usually allowed whenever normal in-thread communication is allowed, which will include Night ohases in some games.

Basically, read the rules of the game and you should know what the OC policy for that game is.

PM conversations in this new software has a max of 20 participants. I had suggested upping the limit to the webmaster for this purpose.

Haha, I was browsing random cat videos last summer and happened upon it.

Okay, ty!

This is true, but I'm still not entirely sure that we don't have a maximum limit for number of PMs/conversations we can have at a time. I suppose I could ask about that, but BAG must have infected ME with the laziness virus again, so I kinda need to take care of that...at some point.

I don't think we do, because it'd tell you how many you can hold, i would think.

We can always tag @Archaic to find out if there is a maximum limit to the number of pm conversations you can have active.

Honestly, it was more or less sarcasm, as I'm about as intimidating as a wet noodle in a training potty. I'm still getting used to things around here; not sure if I want to dive into another new environment so quickly

There's a lot of cross contamination pollination between various forums here.

I am a germophobe. Always living in fear of catching computer viruses...

ME doesn't mind trojans or spies though in his machine.

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

Too many Missingno.s from my Punster days.

Messes with my programming...

 

[Snowy]

I've been messing with programming all day.

Who are you? XD

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

I'm ME.

 

[Snowy]

But you're not me.

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

These days, I wouldn't be too sure about that.
Everybody seems to be Transforming in to ME impersonators.

Just ask @mathematical engima.
