[Deptheads] Virtual room locations

[Strategicon Department Heads]

I have a channel with the daily schedule. I posted at the end of the day
for the next day. I think I will just simply rename the chat rooms to the
name of the game it is hosting so people know exactly where they need to
be. I don't have so many games that that will make it difficult.
