Garrulous Glaahk Seasons of Destiny Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Okay. I've heard about AIMHack and its campaigns (I've also read a few), and I might be interested to join one when the opportunity arises. The thing is, I have a few questions... First off, is there any specific version or something of AIM to use, or is it all universal? Secondly, is one username required or are multiple needed (for your characters). Thricely, I was wondering what time they usually take place (school on weekdays is most inconvienent). I'd appreciate it if these were answered (I don't know why, but AIMHack looks fun ).

Some players like to change their alias to their character's name during play, but it's not enforced.

The day of the week depends on the schedules of individual players: we use online calendars to sort out scheduling issues. Incidentally, there's a metathread for general discussion of AIMhack. While it's mostly being used to talk about the theory and practice of game design, it's fine to ask questions like yours in it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Here is where I started for information. I'm new to the system, too, so that's about all I have. I'm sure the others will be along to help you shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Seasons of Destiny Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks guys! I should have known that there was a thread on AIMHack somewhere in here, And I did check out Ephesos' AIMHack page. I guess I might not have looked hard enough . I'll be sure to try to be the lookout soon for AIMHack campaigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think "The Abyss" might still be taking characters. Edit: Scratch that. Sarachim asked for final submissions several days ago. Maybe there will be another when one of the older ones wraps up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 A list of most (if not all?) of the AIMhack topics on SW is available in poorly-formatted list form here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, having a secondary account on hand can be nice if AIM gets glitchy (as a few AIMHackers can attest to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Seasons of Destiny Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 To Actaeon: Thanks for trying to find a campaign for me! To Sylae: I'll try to use that link, even if it is in poorly-formatted list form . To Nioca: Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
