How about... if we had Bay's LOOC? It's like OOC (in that it's not IC), but it only broadcasts to people nearby. Anyone can use it - including ghosts.
Why do we need it?:
Spoiler:
OOC: NewBee: how do i open my nuce oparativ uplink ?????
OOC: Admin: Bwoink.
Nooh Beiy says, "sory, how do i open my nuce oparativ uplink ?????"
Gorlex the Marauder says, "{{Click it in your hand.}}"
Malla Praktis says, "ok ur anesthatics are on, how do i do brain surgery"
Miss Fortunate says, "Zzz..."
OOC: xXxMLGpr0_xXx: MALLA, TO DO BRAIN SURGERY YOU USE THE DRAPES THEN THE SCALPEL THEN--
OOC: Admin: Bwoink.
"But Night, what if people metagame and tell Sec where their killer was after they die?"
That's why it's logged, and why the 'mins can see it. Bwoink.

No thanks, I don't want to hear WOOOOOOW every time I kill someone.
To add to this, if you think ikky is exagerating, read the Baystation equivalent of the "stories of awesome/rage and regret". Half the stories involve LOOC bitching

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Hey there, I'm Virescent, the super evil person who made the stupid appeal and didn't think it through enough. Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.
What if ghost's can not use it? (They can just ask their questions in death chat like they always have done.) If you don't want metabuddies, just make sure people know LOOC is only meant for questions about the game.
But really, a better alternative is to have a whitelisted mentor position people can talk to during the game. Or, even better, just ahelp.
