America Online chatrooms circa 1993, minus every single element that would make that less than one hundred percent totally weird.

I actually like the idea. People don't know how to interact with strangers specifically because it's easy to set up camp and block people you don't want to deal with. It could be quite educational.

Someone get on here and keep typing your username and disconnecting if you don't get an ample reply.

There's 3000 people online; we're bound to find one another sooner or later!

It's like speed dating gone wrong, so very wrong!

Edit: So I did a bit of a social experiment and started every conversation with this:

You: I'm only here for the first opening line

Here are the results.

okay

BUCK BUCK

RONALDO

I have decided that doing as you suggest is weirder than any chatroom ever. I got some of the weirdest responses. my favorite was "DO YOU KNOW TRI-GUNNA?"

So, I'm having a pretty awesome conversation right now.

Stranger: hi
You: hi
Stranger: what's up?
You: A direction away from the ground.
Stranger: good answer
Stranger: and in zero gravity?
You: The enemy's gate is up

And now we're talking about Asimov.

[Bells]

Just my luck... here is my first try...

You: Hello there!
Stranger: w or m?
You: W
You: and you?
Stranger: you or from?
Stranger: m
You: hm?
Stranger: sei falar ingles nao

Last line translation = "I dunno how to speak english"

And yes, i know i said i was a girl... i just really wanted to know how bad it would go next.

[Kim]

Other conversation ended, so here's a short one...

Stranger: woman?
You: Nope
Stranger: fuck

You: Greetings
Stranger: We need to talk.
You: I do believe that is the point of this device
Stranger: But stranger, it's not safe.
You: Why not?
Stranger: because I am a bear
You: Which kind?
Stranger: Grizzly
You: Hmmm, quite a conundrum indeed, though I must admit I am impressed by your eloquence, Monsieur Bear
Stranger: Whoa Mr/Mrs. Vocab
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

[Bells]

i just founded a use for this site...

You: A mounted bear with a claymore charges towards you! What do you do?
Stranger: slash
You: Mounted bear takes 14hp of damage! It's trying to maul you!!
Stranger: blow head off
You: OMG! Critical damage! you killed to Mounted bear! Take Claymore?
Stranger: yes
You: You acquired Claymore!
Stranger: Kick ass!

I've been approaching people in character as an intelligence operative testing them with a code word to confirm that they're my contact.

I don't think one person has picked up on it so far.

SO disappointed in the omegle.com community.

Inspired by Fifth, I've started asking everyone "Who are the Patriots?"

I've yet to get, "La-li-lu-le-lo" as an answer.
