Purpose
What’s this chat room for anyway? Well, I’ve created this space as a meeting room for all us ‘Scapers to talk it out. Please feel free to use it for general chat about HeroScape, developing battlefields or custom figures, discussing strategies, or (if you’re up for it) – online play! Please read the guidelines posted below. And, if you need some help check out the Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom. Enjoy! And, I’ll talk to you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
First of all, how do I login?
You can login as a guest just by clicking the Connect button on the login screen. Or, you can also use a nickname by typing it in the Nick box. If the name has been registered (see below) you’ll also need to use your password.
How do I change my nickname?
Double-click your nickname in the Your Roomies list. Change your name and click Submit. If it’s a registered name you’ll have to enter a password or choose a different name.
How do I send a private message to another user?
Double-click the person’s nickname in your list of Roomies then click Private Chat. A private, one-on-one session opens, and you can send your PMs from there. Easy, huh?
How do I create my own chat room?
The easiest way to do this is click the List Rooms button. Type the name of your new chat room in the box at the bottom of that window and click Join Room. Alternatively you can use the /join command. Type /join #your-room-name +s . If you include the +s key at the end the room is automatically set to “secret” and will not be visible to other chatters.
How do I register my nickname/chat room?
By registering your nickname you can always log in as yourself. You can also register a chat room you’ve created and keep it as yours. Click the Options button then click the appropriate registration button. Follow the onscreen prompts and you’re registered.
*Guest is asking, "How do I post like this?"
To make a third-person post, just type /me followed by your statement. The /me will be replaced by your nickname so check to make sure it makes sense before hitting send.
Where can I go for more help with this chat room?
You can start by checking out Everywhere Chat’s Support Forum. A lot of questions are answered there. If you need some quick help, the friendly staff at EWC may be able to help you. Just head over to the EWC’s Support Chat Room; type /join #Support and you’re there.
