Possible use of irc

[srwu_mods]

Recently a lot of people had trouble connecting to mission rooms using AIM or other software that supports AIM. It has always been an issue for some but usually one we could get under control - but it got a lot worse during the last few weeks.

So we're considering using irc to run missions. We'd still use AIM for communication, but this is an alternative in case someone gets dropped and AIM won't let them rejoin during a mission.

Without further ado, which of those options do you prefer best?

1 - Stay as it is now. Don't use irc for running missions.

2 - Try to use AIM for running missions, but keep irc around as an option in case AIM is acting up.

3 - Use irc for mission running every time.

Say which option is your favorite, and maybe also why. Discussion is welcome and encouraged. Make your voice heard on this matter.

Important Notes:
- All of the people kidnapped by the Meganoids, Beauty included, have been rescued safely.
- We captured a Death Battle. The uses for the Meganoid battleship are either limited or infinite, depending on how insane you are.
- Macross managed to obtain some much-needed military supplies from the base on Mars before it was forced to escape into space.
- Someone should probably talk to Misa about her past trauma.
