Can you do IRC channels on an ipad?

There are apps that make this possible for ipad.

Oh okay. The IRC channels will be essential for communication during games, so as long as you can get that to work playing via Ipad shouldn't be that much of a problem. Of course, it might be hard keeping up with those on computer.

I will make sure I am available for everything even if it means breaking previous engagements and ruining the lives of others.

I also filled out the application.

You should download a client!

But yes, you will be given links. However remember you can only be in one at a time.

Can we save logs from chat rooms and share them with allies? It would undermine your rule. :(

No, no chatlogs. It's in a rule.

quote:

Do not post/send chatlogs in this thread/via PM/via IRC/note inside a bottle drifted through the ocean/etc. Please do not be a shitbag!!!!!

The irc channels are acting as live conversation and there are no chatlogs in live conversations unless you are wearing a wire (you are not allowed to wear a wire).

As with Survivor you can tell people anything that was told to you, but it has to be your own words.

I have no idea how proper IRC channels work, but goddammit I will learn if I have to for this. It can't be that bad, I remember using one once in like 2008/9ish so I must be able to do it.

Either way, looking forward to this. Application applied, and it's amazing luck that Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri are basically the only days I am really free at those times. :v:

I should be automatically qualified to play this game with this as ring tone for my cellphone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L85V0SKrKiQ
Also a super fan of the show. Loving the music as well they use for the show. Extreme ways(only allowed to be used during reveal of something fantastic) Cowboy bepop, Idiotape, Robot rock, Ocean's twelve and much more only to mention some of them.
Information is sacred so this is what I'm pitching with to try get myself in to the game.
Bonus information: Fan of Solitary.

The fact that I have classes from 6 - 10 on Thursdays means I won't be able to play, but I will be interested in a vista pass. I am really interested to see what kind of imaginative deviousness the players can come up with.

Also, any excuse to link to Idiotape is a good one indeed:

For those who are new to IRC I will write up a little IRC tutorial for the main game thread.

Seriously though I've been using IRC since the dawn of the internet. Get your poo poo together, people!

I'm not new to IRC, it's just a super old program that people won't let go of when there's better options. We should also communicate via ICQ!

There are pretty decent webclients though that I use to drop in on the mafia IRC room so you don't need to use ancient DOS-based software or anything at this point.

So I'm going to be closing signups at 8pm tonight. I have not made any final decisions about who is in and it is not first come first serve, so if you want to play you still have time to apply.

However for everyone who is thinking about applying or already applied I will once again bring your attention to the scheduling section of the rules

quote:

This game is split into two different challenges: Main Match and Death Match. Main Matches will occur on Mondays and Thursdays, and will involve all current players. Death Matches will occur on Tuesdays and Fridays, and will usually involve only the two people up for elimination. Occassionally others may be asked to participate in the Death Match, but this will be optional and will be told in advance. Both Main Matches and Death Matches will occur between the hours of 7-10PM EST. It is very likely they will take up the entirety of this time. Do not sign up if scheduling will be an issue.

I will not be changing these times. This game will last approximately 6 weeks. Check your calendars and if you have a scheduling conflict that means you will miss days then please let me know so I can take you out of the pool. These games are all designed to work with the exact number of people there will be. Missing a match will be a huge pain and may even make the game unplayable for everyone else.

If someone no-shows, perhaps a guest player from the Vista could step in to make the game still work?

nope.

1 episode a week would be better though if you really want high participation.

Edit: plus, then I could play if you did thurs/fri

Also, will there be a spectator option for IRC?

A google docs vista seems like an awful way to watch this.

Edit: Seriously, this will be awful for viewers if you don't enable irc spectating.

Edit2: DOUBLE SERIOUSLY, DO THIS.

I would also prefer one main and death match per week but am able to double down to twice a week if necessary
