Hi everyone! I&#039;m riningear. I&#039;m an enthusiastic community member who you&#039;ve/you&#039;ll probably see on Steam and the IRC as well as here. My hobbies include trying to be overly friendly and engaging in reactionary capslocking. I also like to give myself the impression that I can coordinate communication between Agents and outside entities. <br />

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is, at its core, a chatroom. Being able to use the IRC is a skill that can help you a lot in this game—it is heavily utilized during live missions, and a lot of the Agents who hang out in there between live events are really helpful if you ever get stuck!

Some live events deal with real world locations, and can involve real world businesses, individuals and organizations.<br />
It is important to remember that when participating in a live event, the real world entity may not know the details of the game, or even that they are part of it.<br />
<br />
In short, this means:<br />
<b> <span style="color: #a6ff4d">- Do not harass someone in the real world for information. Be polite and respectful.</span></b>...<br />
