The Witscord Telechain is an experimental SMS-based form of communication operated by nine different Witscorders.

History and Function

The official Telechain infographic, created by sus.

The structure of the Telechain is reminiscent of various telephone games, in which a message is unreliably communicated from one individual to the next until its meaning is corrupted. add more here obv

The early concept of the Telechain was pitched by sus on July 15th, 2024, as "pass[ing] messages to each other through a big network of one on one conversations".[1] The idea was solidified into its current form with input from Jony, who proposed "a random chain of contacts ... so each of us only has one other user's number, but they form a chain".[2] Additionally, Fullest voiced support for the chain to be explicitly monodirectional,[3] and non lobbied for copy and pasting to be disallowed.[4]

Following further discussion of the system by various members, sus assumed the role of the Telechain's semiofficial coordinator and began drafting a recruitment post, which was posted in #server-meta later that night.

also mention proper form and email mishap and dates of startup/functionality
