Nickfail occurs when IRC roleplayers who play multiple characters at once (including their OOC nick) accidentally type into the wrong window or tab, resulting in the wrong character saying or doing things. Nickfail is the most common accidental way of breaking the fourth wall in RPs, and is usually more annoying than funny.
