The Circle & The Round
Welcome aboard the deck. The Circle is the open round table; The Round hosts one debate at a time. Move your cursor: the deck's atmosphere answers.
Deck Manual · how the rooms work
The Circle
The round table beside the boards: quick thoughts, hellos, and sightings in real time, spoken in peace. Only the newest hundred lines are kept; when something matters, carry it to a board in the Confluence, where thinking is kept for good. Members only, and the house rules hold the circle together.
The Round
The debate room: one table, one debate at a time. Call a member to debate a question that matters, in timed rounds or free exchange. Only the debaters speak while everyone else observes; when time runs out, the table passes to the next debate.
The Deck
The switches below the console are real: Lights dims the chamber, Atmosphere breathes the living flow-field behind the console (stir it with your cursor), and Scanlines toggles the transmission grid. The deck remembers your settings. And the porthole never repeats: every hour the station orbits a different generated world, oceans, storms, rings of craters and all, the same sky for every soul aboard that hour.
