IRC Trivia

[Arlikra]

I've been playing this for about a year on various sites and I think it's really addictive. Does anybody else play?

I have before. It is alot of fun, We used to have a channel for that, cant remember what it was thought

Knowing of a particular IRC channel that Arlikra uses, I can also say it's entertaining.

I though the Adisc/TBDL version died out of lack of interest though?

Aww that sucks... I would have loved to have kicked everybody's ass :tongueout:

I'm sure you would.

I was always a little sceptical (being my naturally cynical self, lol) that many of the questions would relate to US-centric topics or be overly concerned with diapers, so I never actually used it. My statement about lack of interest is merely as ascertained from other people. *shrugs*

Besides, I like participating in a non-infantilist "sponsored" trivia channel.

I used to run it on my channel, it's fun

I played trivia on IRC for a few years. It was fun, but there are some people who are way too obsessed with it, and it ends up with way too much drama. So, I kind of moved away from that. Now my primary use of IRC is for technical topics.

The particular channel me and Arlikra frequent regularly doesn't suffer from much drama, fortunately. Granted, there will occasionally be someone appear who isn't "helpful" but such happens everywhere.

I will refrain from disclosing which channel here though, as we both use different aliases to keep it separate from our "AB type" personas on here.

What is it exactly?

What is it exactly?

its like idling in an irc-chatroom, and whenever you nickchange, loose connection, talk, or do anything else, you get a small amount of extra time, calculated towards your gearing to the next level

while at the same time, in a room with a lot of idle rpg'ers, you can randomly be highlighted into a tournament, and whenever your char wins, you will loose a certain amount of time, of your clock gearing you towards the next level :_)
