The general term for chat sessions that take place in #Knightmare. It is more a reference to the channel name than to discussion topics, which may or may not concern Knightmare. To quote IKM: 'There was light and the Knightmare chat room started on a humble Sunday evening in [October] '99'. Although access to #Knightmare is ongoing throughout the week, official Knightmare Chat sessions convene Friday-Sunday evenings (having expanded over time from the original hours of Sunday at 8pm). Currently, its effective owner is Pooka.

Knightmare Chat continues to attract newcomers, occasional visitors and regular users from the Knightmare fan community. Members of the latter group have been known to lend the chatroom a soap opera-like quality by creating situations that may vary and develop from weekend to weekend. The following entries provide illustrations of this: #Knightmare weddings, #Knightmare Knews, White Hole, Aranel's Kitchen, Parallel universe, Cake, Tumbleweed, Themes in Knightmare Chat, Titanic, tea, coffee.

Some of those who appear in Knightmare Chat are not real people but chatbots (Cypher, Jobe/Jobey, Caei), and as such can divert a baffling amount of attention.

As well as chatting, games are regularly played in Knightmare Chat. Examples are the Knightmare RPGs up to and including RPG Season 3, and more recently, Knightmare Trivia. Chatroom games based on popular TV gameshows are a staple of the chatroom, and a Knightmare element is often incorporated. More information is available on the following: Blind Date, The People Versus You, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Deal Or No Deal.

Connection information and chat logs are viewable on IKM.
