Subsim Chat channel

[Onkel Neal]

Ahoy captains! :salute:

Dowly has set up a new chat channel for Subsim members to use. It's very easy to use, and you are welcome to join in.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=165&pictureid=6120
Subsim Chat channel (http://webchat.esper.net/?nick=Mate&channels=subsim&prompt=1)

********

The channel will be used for our enjoyment, and we will hold scheduled chat events, to be announced.
It is also very useful when setting up multiplayer games.

********

Keep in mind, when you join the channel, if there is no one there, leave the channel open for a while to give others a chance to join you. To "ping" someone in the chat, just say for example ''Hi HunterICX'' (if you write something with someone's Nick he'll get a ping sound on his end).

Same rules and etiquiete apply as in the forums, please be nice, friendly, and civil.

Be advised, the chat nicknames are not tied into the forum system, so we are all on the honor system to use our real forum names. This is a moderated channel so if someone is being disruptive, they will be banned. Your forum account is not connected to the chat server, so please use your correct forum name or a nickname by which you are known. Moderators can see who people are even if they use a fake name. If we have people acting immature and impersonating other members, suspension will carry over into the forums. Let's act like real submarine men, guys. :cool:



HOW TO RESERVE YOUR CHAT NICKNAME
If you want to lock in your chat name, so that no one else can use it, then you will want to set it up.

Steps:

1. Connect to the Subsim Chat channel (http://webchat.esper.net/?nick=Mate&channels=subsim&prompt=1)

Enter your desired nickname. Spaces are not allowed, but capital letters are; so for example, I am OnkelNeal

Do not check the box Login to Services
That's not needed until after step two. Go ahead and Connect


.
2. Once you are in the channel, enter
/msg nickserv register password emailaddress

Put in a simple password and your email. There is a space between the pw and email.
So, for example you might type in: /msg nickserv register basher5 subguy@gmail.com
NOTE: IRC nicknames are global, so it's likely some Call of Duty player may have your forum nick, so it is suggested you add _SS. For example, if your forum name is Charlie, then you may want to try Charlie_SS

You will see your password and email in the chat, but as long as you type it in as explained, no one else can see it. Use a simple password that is different from your forum password, if you like.

Then check your email, it will give you a string to enter into the chat, and then your nickname is set in stone. There won't be any false SailorSteves or Jimbunas to deal with

Then next time you go to chat, you will want to check the box Login to Services and enter your password.

What could it mean?!?

[Red October1984]

Maybe its the Werewolf Hunt we we're going to start earlier this year. Neal was up for it but not enough people signed up....


Maybe its a countdown to SHO or something.

Or maybe, it will be a long and mean April fools joke?


Spitballing ideas here. :06:

Yep.
Says that right in the original post by Neal.

11:00 GMT and only one lonely HunterICX in sight.

[HunterICX]

and you immediatley leave! :wah:

HunterICX

[Jimbuna]

You never spoke :doh:

[HunterICX]

You never spoke :doh:

Nor did you :O:
but guess if I did you would have left a lot sooner :D

I'm at work so at times I'm going back and forth between windows on the computer and the chat doesn't notify me when someone joines and leaves.

One small negative about IRC or any other chat room for that matter...you need to be on the lookout constantly.

I'm trying to think back if there is a means of an audible prompt when a message is posted? :hmmm:

Rgr that matey.

[Herr-Berbunch]

I think I need it open in a window of its own, not just a tab. :hmmm:

[AVGWarhawk]

I'm speechless.

[u crank]

I'm speechless.

I'm Canadian.

[Jimbuna]

I'm Canadian.

LOL :)

[AVGWarhawk]

There is still hope for you. :O:

Nah, using Nettalk instead (thanks privateer for mentioning it). :up:

[Madox58]

Nah, using Nettalk instead (thanks privateer for mentioning it). :up:
I like Nettalk for a few reasons.
First, it's totally free.
Second, it's open source. (I've already found a few things with it I'd like to change.)
Third, it's scriptable with a Visual Basic type language.

Down side so far is the documentation or lack of.
What there is of it is mostly in German and we all know how well translators work.
:nope:

There's also a lack of any forum about it.
So example scripts and answers are scarce.

[Onkel Neal]

The bar is jumping.

[Gerald]

Oh, Man :haha::har:

[Onkel Neal]

<Dowly> I think we need to work on our communication.. one guy is talking crap, one just goes "lol" and the other one doesn't understand what's going on
<Takeda> lol
<OnkelNeal> what?

--------------------

[CCIP]

Since I see at least some of you are using mIRC... does anyone happen to know how to get it to connect to multiple servers with different nicks simultaneously? :06:

I'm trying to figure out a way to get it to automatically log into the subsim chat and my other regular server by default...

[HunterICX]

:rotfl2:

HunterICX

[Jimbuna]

LOL :)

[Herr-Berbunch]

Yep.
Says that right in the original post by Neal.


Actually Neal's original original post simply said 'Reserved', or similar. :03:

[CaptainCruise]

Okay, I finally figured it out and "CC" is legit!!

Very cool idea Neal!! Well done mah brudda!!
:up:

I'll talk to you guys soon!!
Tom "CC"

[Onkel Neal]

I'll be on the Channel in the AM hosting the Dowly and Neal Show.

[nikimcbee]

Testing my voice recognition software. Cool it works.:up:

Is that show like the Oprah show?

[Jimbuna]

No good for you....he'll be fully clothed :O:

[Dowly]

Just a quick note I'd like to make: Please, do change your nickname from "Mate" to something else when you log in. :salute:

[Jimbuna]

Do you know who it was?

[Dowly]

Do you know who it was?

Negative. Just saying, it's nice to know who I'm talking to as there are number of
different people logging in daily using the "mate" nickname.

Rgr that....and a good post/pointer :up:

[Madox58]

Hey Dowly.

What do you think is gonna happen when people start doing a Whois on me pretty soon?
:D

Any bets that I get at lest one "He's an imposter".
:haha:

Check my login IP last nite compared to my known IP.
:03:

[Red October1984]

Guys...I think the chat channel is dying. There are usually only 4 members on all day and it is me, Raptor1, antikristuseke, CCIP and every once in a while Vendor pops in.

Herr-Berbunch is sometimes on. Neal came on last night. But I seriously think that this is dying off. :timeout:

[Jimbuna]

Well I was on earlier in the evening and it was quiet but give it a little more time.




I fear you may well be correct though......only time will tell.

[Onkel Neal]

It's ok, there will be times we have scheduled chat events. All other times, just log in if you want to be there.

[Dowly]

Yo yo yo, got nothing else to do? Join the chat!

Dowly's back, and fridays are 'get drunk and ask Dowly about sex' nights!

(answer not guaranteed)

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is it compulsory?

[Red October1984]

I'm on now... I saw that Dowly and HunterICX had a rather colorful chat today...

And Dowly, I'm not a spy... :up: :D

[HunterICX]

It's always colorful if you have a Dowly on the chat on a good friday :D

Some of that stuff was hilarious....

Didn't know Dowly is Catholic:/\\k::har:
