RPC Skype Chat - Candor - 03-19-2014
The most important thing to me when I started my own FC was to keep my players in touch with each other, as I firmly believe that a community approach is the best way to create great RP. Some of you may be familiar with the growing axiom, "We're a community of players, not characters." And it's more or less my mantra when it comes to all things player and RP related.
So, in an effort to achieve that, I created a Skype chat to parallel the various IG chat channels, so that people could socialize about whatever they like, regardless of their log in status. And it went a long way to keeping relations even keeled, as that close communication prevented a lot of potential OOC drama. Even when I ultimately disbanded my FC, I still kept the Skype chat because the small group of people that was involved had grown close, and to this day the chat remains active.
In the spirit of this, I've been wondering if another enterprising individual has created an RPC-scale equivalent to this. Is there a broad community Skype channel? If so, who must players contact in order to be invited?
If something like this doesn't exist yet, I would like to open my own skype channel to that very purpose. A live chat goes a long way to fostering good relations and great RP. So, having said all of that, I formally invite any RPC member to contact me here or on Skype if they wish to join this small - but hopefully growing - attempt to keep the community close and friendly.

I have actually set up a skype room for a similar, but not identical purpose. HUGs (Helping Unite Gamers) is a group for those who seek a community in a much broader sense: its aimed at those with a shared love of friendship, gaming, and rp, regardless of guild, server, or game.
Tired of losing friends when I switched guilds or games, this attempts to keep people in contact, while also providing possible connections for those who decide to test new waters, such as TESO or Wildstar. Cuz nothing sucks more than playing a new game alone :p
I invite any social and friendly folks to join, but if ur thinking of something slightly different I might also be interested in joining Gyr, though I have switched to Gilgamesh c:

Greetings all!
There is both a Skype Channel and a Steam group! [feel free to spread the word]
You can reach me at "Quarimar" on Skype for an invite to that Chat Channel [its rather large and has been floating around for a while. Nel, Deirdre and many others are there and i'm sure if you poke around some of the older members of the community could invite you as well.
EDIT: AHA!!! I found the original post about it: [stickied in the off topic section]
