"Help how?"

_{"To act normal,"} she says, glancing at Bethany.

Will begins chuckling. "Normal people would stick out like a sore thumb in this house."

((And if Gamerlord does that...we will all be boned.))

"You mean you are *not* concerned about suddely finding quartz inside hail? Someone might be trying to create a way of weather controle. This is only a test, imagine if that person succeeds."

"Then why were only a small fraction of the hailstones quartz'd? And anyways, haven't you noticed the increasingly unusual and diverse sets of unusual events that have been happening?"

Neferis glances at Will and mumbles, _{"Can you help?"}

"Help how?"

((Yes, dynamic bonus. That means it tends towards 5.))

((In TA it was still a significant problem in thread, which only got worse after the incident. But other than that, yeah.))

((Why do you think it got worse? Because The Incident got the OOC thread closed down, so the OOC chatter couldn't be sent there!))

((The latter two aren't exactly the best examples.))

((Just imagine how much OOC there would be IC if I didn't keep reminding you guys that hey, there's an OOC thread.))

Download Dwarf Fortress.

Play Dwarf Fortress.

Stop playing Dwarf Fortress in slightly under a month.

((I don't know if an OOC thread would even be... well, needed. OOC is the kind of thing that just springs up spontaneously. If people had the self-restraint to go to the OOC thread to start an OOC discussion, they could just as easily go to PMs. It'd be no easier to contain discussion to the thread than to anywhere else, and the resulting thread would have nothing at all to do with ER, barring that it'd be posted in by the same people who play in ER.

Unless of course you'd want to strictly separate IC and OOC. But ER is anything but a serious RP game, so that might not turn out too well.))

((Counterpoint: OOC threads in other major RPs. YAFB. RotMG. TA, before the OOC got shut down *whistles innocently*. All had thriving OOC threads. All saw a significant decrease in IC-thread OOC chatter afterwards.))

Several posts above this one. No big jar.
