Mmm, IRC intel gathering. I do go into IRC sometimes. But I am usually pretty good about not giving out interesting information about my team (squirrelloid is an IRC regular, as is maerlande... so when he was playing, I had to watch myself around him). Instead when asked about the game, I tend to talk about the mistakes I see other players making, or talk about things I know about other teams. Squirrel is pretty good about guarding his relevant information too. If I'm playing by myself though I am much more fast and loose with my tongue.

Some of those certainly seem like good ideas to keep up the interest level with the alternates. A bit too late for us devas, and some of them seem maybe a bit excessive, but especially taking a couple of turns every once in a while could definitely help there.
