During Uptime, you will have access to text channels, both IC and OC. They will be listed in the **channel sidebar** on the left-hand side and will be appropriately named so it is clear what they are for. Channel names always start with a # (hash) symbol. Selecting one will allow you to view them, and if you have permission to do so, type in it. Some channels you may be able to only type in sometimes, or view but not type in. If you feel there are errors, contact a GM (who will be listed under the “GM” subheading in the **user sidebar** on the right-hand side) in the channel labeled "# | During Uptime, you will have access to text channels, both IC and OC.

- | During the game, new text channels may appear to you, and old ones may disappear. This does not mean they no longer exist, but you no longer can view them. This may reflect a change in location, status, or another in-game occurrence that would help or hinder your communications with others. If you believe there has been an error, message a GM before messaging in the channel. There will be mechanics by which you can request special channels with others. These will be arranged and monitored by GMs. | + | During the game, new text channels may appear to you, and old ones may disappear.

+ | For accessibility and simplicity, we have not switched off message history. This means that whenever you gain access to a certain channel, you will be able to see the previous messages sent in this channel. We kindly ask all players to not take message histories as IC knowledge and not meta-game using them. | ||

**Private messaging within Discord is not an IC mechanic and should not be used unless you need to speak to a specific GM in confidence. This is because GMs need to be able to see what you are writing in order to moderate the game properly!** | **Private messaging within Discord is not an IC mechanic and should not be used unless you need to speak to a specific GM in confidence.
