CHIRPER

⏵ CHIRPER ⏴
Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
  • Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
  • When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
  • Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
  • Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
  • Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

[ Peter?! He understood maybe like a fraction of what you just said?? ]

You'll have to elaborate on what a CD is...and a PC.

Oh! Right. A PC is a personal computer. And a CD is a compact disc. You would put the CD into the PC in order to install things on it. Like music, or games, or software. Things like that. They're kinda unnecessary these days where I'm from, but there's a lot of charm to it.

And these CDs would have directions inscribed into them, to install things, as you put it?

[ Please tell him more about how this works, thanks. ] And why have they become unnecessary?

Something like that, yeah.

They're mostly unnecessary because you can just download most things you need from the internet, or from a USB -- which usually can hold way more data on it. If you'd like, I could give you a demo on how computers work. I repaired a laptop using a bunch of spare parts from the junkyard. It didn't have a disc tray, so I stole one out of a DVD player.

[Are you familiar with DVDs??????]
