<Keeper_3> Welcome, Traps.
<Traps> Hi
<Keeper_3> Before you start, some simple questions to make sure that you are okay with the channel. Standard procedure, I hope that you understand.
<Traps> Go ahead
<Keeper_3> Excellent. First, are you in any way affiliated with government bodies?
<Traps> Not at all
<Keeper_3> Do you agree to discuss the contents of the channel with no one, and refrain from storing logs?
<Traps> Okay. I make deleting browser history a habit.
<Keeper_3> Nice...
<Keeper_3> That's actually all. You're good to go.
<Keeper_3> Finally, do you have any questions for me?
<Traps> Yes, a serious one. About the server...
<Keeper_3> I will see if I can answer that.
<Keeper_3> Do note that some of the information are confidential for security purposes.
<Traps> So why is my name pink?
<Keeper_3> ...
User <Keeper_3> has logged off
<Traps> Can you help me change it to something coo▂
METAGAME
The Roleplay will be about a secret chatroom on the internet only accessible to those talented in hacking. All kinds of anonymous hackers congregate here to discuss about hacking, form alliances, or sell and buy "services". There are a total of 16 chatrooms (Chatroom_0 to Chatroom_15) but this role play will take place mainly in Chatroom_3. Each chat room has a keeper that takes care and manages the channel to prevent leakage of information. The origin of the Hacker's Chatroom is a mystery.
RPers post in the form of chat logs, hacking behaviors (for example if you hack into a bank there will be codes; you don’t need to understand programming, just be creative), and a bit of actions in roleplay characters’ life.
WORLD SETTING
The role play is set in a universe very similar to ours.
World events tie loosely to real world events.
The date is Sunday, 24th December 2017 (GMT) and it is Christmas Eve.
THE CHATROOM
The Secret Net was an open-sourced software designed for traceless communications between criminals and people intending to keep their identities anonymous. Just like many other open-sourced codes before it, its origin was largely a mystery with its creator unknown. The Secret Net did not catch the public eye, until five years ago when a notorious group of seventeen hackers calling themselves "The Keepers" decided to alter the software's source code and designed it in a way that they have full control on the traffic of the Secret Net. The new software then became a popular social platform among hackers well-known for its impenetrable security, and hence the origin of what you know today as the Hackers' Chatroom.
The main server of the Hackers' Chatroom does not occupy a specific physical location. In fact, every user device acts as a server to the chatroom upon first connection, making it near impossible to DDoS or shut down as long as any one of the users are still connected to it. Depending on individual chatroom keepers, some may host the channel's database in a well-maintained server room for additional security measures. Each keeper has a unique way of defending and managing their own channels.

USERS
1. The Keepers
The infamous hacker group consists of 17 team members each skilled in executing different types of hacks. Throughout the last decade, large-scale hacks have been performed by the group, inflicting widespread financial damage to the world. Nobody knows their exact identity, and what is the organization's ultimate intentions. The Keepers are the main managers of the 16 channels of the Hackers' Chatroom.
2. Hackers
Those who are talented enough to hack and access the secret net are mostly welcomed to mingle in the chatroom as long as they follow the keepers' rules. Hackers often befriend, chat and share about their hacking experiences with each other, forming a sense of bond within the hacker community.
3. Criminals
Non-hacker criminals may access the net through special means approved by the keepers. They make use of the chatroom to contact with clients that are looking for their special services, or collude with other criminals in performing illegal activities.
4. Clients
Through a cleverly designed security system, clients may be granted temporary restricted access to the Hackers' Chatroom to buy all kinds of services from other criminals.
5. Others
Sometimes secret agents, lost birds, and people who might cause trouble to the chat room may gain access to the platform. The keepers do not welcome this sort of people and will ban their IP address immediately upon exposure.
CHARACTERS
RPER'S GUIDE
BASELINE RULES:
1. Follow all the Fundamental Rules of the Guild. Here's a link if you need a refresher:
2. For newcomers to discord CHATROOM_3, post in the #ooc channel first; we will assign you the correct roles.
3. Everything posted in the CHATROOM_3 discord channels is IC. You should be posing as your character.
4. The best place for OOC questions about the RP is in the forum's OOC; the one in discord is mainly for Discord-related questions.
5. Make sure your nickname in discord is your CS Username. You can change it by right-clicking your name on the bar tn the right and click "Change Nickname".
POST LIMIT:
The minimum for posts is three paragraphs once per week. The minimum for Discord activity is once per week.
SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE DISCORD?
The Discord is an extension of the RP. The RP itself is somewhat Slice of Life, and it is still an RP, so you need to be posting IC on the Guild. Try to make your IC activity match your Discord activity. If your character is unable to access the hacker.chatroom IC, don't post in the Discord until they are able. You can post OOC as frequently as you like, but Discord IC should match Guild IC.
SO WHAT IS THE WORLD/STORY LIKE?
Early game we are letting people do whatever they want in terms of story. It's a modern day open-world "write your own adventure" sandbox, where you'll have freedom to do what you want. Since we're hackers, you can be located anywhere in the world. Over time, the GM and I will be working in story elements, most likely in #bulletinboard or #public posts. They'll be a bit like optional missions, so if you aren't sure what to do, you can go to them and move the story forward. You can ignore them, or you can launch straight into them.
