This tilde server is dedicated to a single activity, the
collaborative storytelling of the human stellar diaspora. I do not
plan on adding more functionality than what supports that aim.
That means no IRC, bbj, botany, and other cool things you can find
on the other tildes. Here we have the gopher story and local mail
service. I encourage you to use the local mail to collaborate.
collaborative storytelling of the human stellar diaspora. We may
add other features over time that are designed to support the
story. For instance, we have an IRC daemon here that connects as
part of irc.tilde.chat. You can join and visit the #cosmic room to
discuss this server.

active, you are the only one with access to its story.
To author a new message on the QEC, create a new text file in your
ship's directory. Author your message in whatever format fits your
theme. Add as much character as you like. When you're ready for
the message to be posted to the relay, run the 'log' command in
the terminal. It will prompt you to send any pending messages and
what to title them.

like. When you're ready for the message to be posted to the relay,
run the 'log' command in the terminal. It will prompt you to send
any pending messages and what to title them. 'log' will add a link
to your message, but the message is still totally in your control.
If you need to change something later, just edit the file. There's
no need to run log again.
If you have any questions, send me a local mail or find me on
irc.tilde.chat in the #cosmic channel.
Eventually I hope to add more helpful tools for authoring content,
generating your own templates, RSS feeds of the story, and
possibly a web portal.
If you have any questions, send me a local mail or find me on irc.
Thanks so much for joining. I can't wait to read your stories.
