IRC Mafia

I originally posted the information on GL about the #mafiagames channel. And I thought I'd post it here as well, since there was a recent thread about real-time mafia.

So anyway, this channel is on the Undernet IRC network. There is a bot that counts the votes. It's also pretty regulated. For instance, no one but the live players and the mod can talk during games. So it has some advantages over real-time mafia on AOL Instant Messenger. You don't have to change your nick names or anything.

We have games practically every night. But it's not very often that we get 6 players or more. If you do come, I recommend staying for a while, maybe as much as an hour. That increases the chances of having more players in a single game. I think that 8-9 p.m. is the best time to come. If you don't have an IRC client program, you can connect through the Web at http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php. After connecting, use the command
/join #mafiagames
to enter the channel.

It's
us.undernet.org
. That would connect you to a random US server. Otherwise, there is a server list at www.undernet.org .

I'd imagine Eastern US. So in about 7h 45min, or 8h 45min, from this post.

(Or maybe central US? I'm not sure what time zone Illinois is in.)

I was leaning toward Eastern :) . But I don't think it's really that important. Just come whenever you can, preferrably earlier, and please stay there for a while until other people come. Yesterday we had a couple of games at 10 pm Central. Are you guys really interested?

Actually, you're right, Macros. I'm not that crazy about that chat room anymore. It's not as fun as I thought.

I beg to disagree, it's as fun as always, provided one's idea of fun does not include repeatedly kicking and banning the statistics bot until it stops returning to the channel.

That being said, if you're serious about having some fun playing high-quality real-time mafia on the internet, try to show up some time during evenings in the US time zones.

This is somewhat related, so I'll post it here...

I've looked at the different things I can do on this hosting service, and apparently I can set up a chat for the site. I'm not sure how much bandwidth it would eat up, or if it's even any good, but would you people be interested?
