-==How to Connect to #Broken_Dagger==
+#REDIRECT [[Getting Started]]
-−
-Join us via internet relay chat (<b>IRC</b>) by using programs like [http://www.mirc.com mIRC] or [http://www.pirch.com pIRCh].  Both programs are available to download as shareware from the Internet.  Once you have your chat program installed, you can connect to us.
-−
-There are a number of working servers available that can connect you to StarChat.  It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with StarChat's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and administrative services.
-−
-When you are connected to a StarChat server, type '''/join #Broken_Dagger''' in the Status window and press 'Enter'. Remember that this is a role-playing channel and there will be players in the room who are writing through the eyes of their characters.  This is not a regular chat room.  To join our chat room type '''/join #BD_OOC''' and hit 'Enter.'
-−
-==Our Regular Channels==
-* [[Broken Dagger (channel) |#Broken_Dagger]] - This channel is where the majority of our roleplay occurs.  Only in-character writing is acceptable in this channel.
-* [[BD OOC (channel)|#BD_OOC]] - Here, our players talk and communicate with one another on a constant basis.
-* #BD_Myrkentown - This channel is suited best for any roleplay that may not be immediately tavern-based, or if you need a side-room for scenes.  It is usually common courtesy to inform players in the out-of-character channel so that they may join to watch.
-* #BD_Hospital - This channel is reserved for roleplay that takes place in the [[Rememdium Edificium]].

-==In Character==
-'''In Character''' ('''IC''') is a roleplaying term, referring to the world of the characters rather than the world of the players.  That is, a character talking to another character is an IC interaction, set within the IC world.  The [[Broken Dagger (channel)|#Broken_Dagger]] channel is strictly an IC-only channel.
-−
-==Out of Character==
-'''Out of character''' (sometimes abbreviated to '''OOC''') is a phrase used in roleplaying to differentiate between the person playing a [[characters|character]] and the character itself. When the person is being him-or-herself, rather than playing their character, he or she is said to be "out of character".  Plainly, OOC refers to things said by the author of the message, rather than by the character(s) that author is playing.  OOC is strictly forbidden in [[Broken Dagger (channel)|#Broken_Dagger]].  If you wish to communicate OOC, please go to #BD_OOC.
-−
-==Bot==
-A '''bot''' is short for "robot" and is used to describe an automated, coded program.  In most cases on this website, "bot" will refer to a nickname on [[IRC]] that isn't a person, but just a bot, coded to respond to requests in channels and execute specific tasks and duties.
-−
-Currently, our [[Statsbot]] is active in the channel for keeping stats of recent roleplay, which which is accessible on the [http://www.brokendagger.com/statistics Broken Dagger Statistics] portion of our main site.
-−
-In the past, [[Pritchard]] was a bot that served as the bartender in [[Broken Dagger (Inn)]]. He had the ability to serve drinks to players that used predetermined codes. If a person typed one of these codes in-channel, it would trigger a response from the bot.
-−
-==Cut Scripts==
-As of the most recent version of mIRC, cut-scripts are not necessary, [[Cut Scripts|but may be obtained here]] if necessary.
