Achaea Discord - Come chat in real time!

Rom

There has already been a thread about this discord, but I'm making another one with a bit more robust information to hopefully help folks who don't already know what Discord is. We've got 50 people online as I type this!

What is Discord?
Discord is a bit of a blend of old-school IRC chat and new-age voice chat services such as Ventrilo, Mumble, or Skype. You can text chat in real time with other Achaeans, or join public voice channels with them even. Discord also features emojis which you may hold dear, embedded links of all types, all sorts of privacy and notification options, and other things you'd expect from a chat service.

Discord is available via a desktop client OR via your browser. Both are available at https://discordapp.com/

There's lots of stuff to chat about, not just Achaea! We've got a music channel, anime, "memes", nexus client, achaea, and general chat text channels. Any topic can go in general chat and it's where most people hang out, talk about anything from your dog to how much you hate mini pets.

Okay I joined - what now?
You'll probably want to choose a name for yourself first of all. Your name does not have to be your Achaea character's name, but most people choose to make theirs that. Every Discord user has an account name that they can change at any time. However, if you want your account name to be different from your name in the Achaea discord, then you can use Discord's nickname feature! Simply type /nick Yournewname in any part of the Achaean discord and your nickname will be changed instantly! You can do this as many times as you want.


Now that you have a name, you'll probably want to silence all or most of the channels in the Discord. It's pretty active, so if you don't do this then you'll likely get noisy notifications very often. You can manage your global notification settings in the general settings cogwheel at the bottom left of the client, or you can right click on the Achaean discord icon and select server-specific settings like this:


I suggest from this menu that you mute the entire server, which will still give you a notification if your are specifically tagged by someone else, similar to these forums. Otherwise from here you can mute everything entirely, or mute nothing at all. At the bare minimum I suggest muting the #deathsight server since it's just a bot talking in there!

Ada-bot!
That's right, your friendly neighborhood Ada has used the Discord bot API to string together Ada-bot aka Karlie! She is open source too, so feel free to contribute or share ideas https://github.com/adayoung/ada-bot/.
Currently her coolest features include our #deathsight channel which is a live feed of Achaea deathsight, and the !whois functionality which works similarly to an ingame HONOURS command.


Should I be an asshole?
Hey, no don't do that! This is not an official Achaean community and is not endorsed by the administration in any way. That being said however, we are all trying to have a good time in this chat. We currently have 3 administrators and they can ban you for any reason they see fit. Nobody has been banned yet so far, so good job everyone. Please do keep the chat work safe and be respectful of others - that means no NSFW pictures or creepy chat, this is a public community not your invite-only clan.

If you have any questions or need any help getting in or setting things up, let me know!
Hope to see you in Discord.

If nothing else, join up so you can troll @Aegoth. It's like my pastime now.

Aegoth

Silly Atalkez.. you cannot troll a troll

Atalkez

@Yae drew a picture of me about to pwn u. Check it out

Melodie

Ugh that picture makes my heart so inexplicably happy.

Aegoth

looks like you falling right into my trap.

@yae, omh so good

Atalkez

You stand up and stretch your arms out wide.

Looks like I'm about to brokenstar u son

Aegoth

Ah, but observe the evil grin on my face, the malevolent twinkle in my black, soulless eyes devoid of compassion or fear. That, my dear warrior, is the look of triumph as the hero descends into the abyss of defeat

Atalkez

Cool story bro

Farrah

I love the crown.

Kenway

Stumpy Boom-Balls vs Patchy Twinkle-Do
Next time on Dragon Ball Z!

Rangor

Better than tmc? 

Kresslack

Still a better love story than Twilight. 

Cailin

Okay, I HAVE to ask... @Rom is Rocktamer your discord name or did you just grab a random pic off the internet? Because Creativerse. Do you play Creativerse?

Rom

@Cailin Rocktamer is an old achaean and was the first name that came to my head of a dormant person to use in an example nickname picture. My name on the Achaea Discord is... Rom.
(never heard of Creativerse)

Cailin

Haha okay just a coincidence then. *hides face*

Utianima

Joined. Thanks for posting about this @Rom.

Forgot to mention in the OP that Discord is also available with full functionality on Android, iOS, windows phone and probably any other OS you may have.

Lots of people like joining and chatting on their lunch break or other lulls on their phone. You can too!

Yae

I also sometimes offer drawing freebies when I feel like it (as seen above). Come join the chaos.

You didn't share the best one.

Sexy beast.

I don't want to out anyone but I swear Yae is behind the super sexy Sanders pics.

Or perhaps the whole shirt is made from chest hair. It's like a male version of Bayonetta.

No, just brocades and embroidery. I'm fancy like a gay peacock threesome.

Erasariel

Love the spontaneous voice chat sessions on there, too! Probably half the reason I'm in there.

Join us!

Kayle

Is this still a thing? Says the invite link is old. Is there a new one?

You'll have to ask someone for a link. It's "private" now because of a certain... Problem person, who couldn't take the hint.

Was it the dickhead who kept trying to tell people they were responsible for him trying to kill himself? I feel like it probably was.

Solnir

Nope, it was the dickhead who thought it was cool to post hundreds of pornographic pics after someone disagreed with them.
