Default Suggestion

I'd like to make a suggestion to all players in the Artifact Game to visit the dominions IRC channel. It makes the game more fun to chat and trash talk with other players. In addition it drastically speeds up and clarifies communication, which is always a good thing. So, everyone please make an attempt to just pop in and say hi see whats going on with the game (is the server down? whos at war with who? etc). If you like it, stick around and talk strat with people or maybe catch a blitz.

server: irc.gamesurge.net
channel: dominions

In particular I want to strongly suggest that all the new players in this game come to IRC regularly. You may not realize it but you are facing off against some of the top-tier dominions players. Come and talk with the other players and refine your strategies before you spend your hard earned gold on what could be a dead-end. Below is a quote from our very own QM on how to connect to IRC for those who dont know how. It assume the use of MIRC but there are many other clients if you prefer something else (I use trillian myself).

Quote:
An IRC channel is basicly a chat room. In the case of a dominions blitz game is used as a place to get organized and conduct diplomacy once the game starts. Getting set up for IRC is slightly involved, but it is easy to use. If you are interested, you can download software to connect to the channel here. Once you install and run it, to get to the dominions channel go under servers and select gamesurge, then connect to it. Once you are connected it will prompt you for a channel, click add and put in #dominions as the channel name. Then select it from the list of channels and your're in.

I'll drop by the IRC channel today and say hello (and hopefully catch up on some politics!) Always a pleasure to chat with other strategy gaming fanatics.

Ah, thanks! As expected I completely forgot. I will change to 48hr once the next turn is up, since I see that your turn is already in.

Default mIRC

Is it worth trying the Trillian Basic (as in, I don't want to pay $20 for mIRC)? I am almost completely clueless about IRC nowadays since the time you could easily hook up via some UNIX connection at school...

I'm actually surprised I'm still in the game, considering all the "big boys".

Default Re: mIRC

I used Trillian basic for ages, its fine. Tho I mentioned it only because I was already using it for all my IM needs: it supports MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AIM. Just so happens to support IRC as well, which is why it was convenient for me to use. If all you are looking for is an IRC client, MIRC might be the way to go? Up to you.
