Instead of using an AIM blast that his not the most flexible, easy to use, or accessible chat option out there, we at Prytaneum are going to make use of a Slack channel -- a simple, browser-based [but with very small, clean clients for computers & phones alike] chat client that has the flexibility to create all kinds of rooms and options that will enhance RP and allow us to run real time events!

This might sound complicated, but in truth, the second you get into Slack you'll see that it's not only incredibly easy to use, but is way cleaner and simpler than AIM ever was.

The problem is just that in order to get into the chat, you need to be invited. And to gain an invite you need to provide the following information via PM to me [and be blue]:

> Your Gaia Username
> An email address* that we can use to send you an invite.

* this email address doesn't have to be [and really, for your security, shouldn't be] the same one used for your gaia account. If you're uncomfortable giving out your email address, either make a new temporary one -- or just say that in the PM as well, and we'll gladly set you up with a temporary one that you can use only to log into the Prytaneum slack team.
