TIMP (ConceptTopic, 13)
From Compile Worlds
TIMP (Team Ikaria Messaging Protocol) WebChat is a Web chat application originally designed specifically for the roleplays of Compile Worlds. It was launched the day after Kawachan's Seecret Friday Update!
Actually, it's specialized for roleplaying, because trying to roleplay in any ordinary IRC client is just that annoying!
Before version 0.7, TIMP was called Kawachat.
Names
Remember that Kawachat was going to have graphical maps and rooms and the like to make roleplaying much easier? Well...
- That makes it a bit like an MMO, and a bit like Minecraft, so why not call it Kawammocraft?
- That looks a bit like Kawa Momo Craft... translating those first two words gives us River Peach Craft!
- That shares its acronym with Remote Procedure Call...
- But that sounds like a retardedly-named, overpowered weapon!
- What other such retardedly-named, overpowered weapons do we know of? Oh yeah, the Shadow Cannon™!
- But that was invented inside Kawachat itself! How about calling it The App That Spawned Its Own Name 2/2SelfrefBootstrapping, or TATSION?
As of July 10, 2011, Kawachat now picks randomly from all these titles. As of version 0.7, it no longer changes to funny titles. :(
