Helpful Tip:

Do you always get confused between a secret (+s) or private channel (+p)? The answer lies here: secret and private will be hidden from /whois and /list, but information about private channels, such as the topic and modes, can still be found.

Community highlights - Part 1 - Posted by LoreOfSerpents on June 25, 2010

A bunch of new people and new channels joined us earlier this week, so we've decided to give everyone a quick look at some of the activities we have going on! We'll be highlighting some of the new UT communities in Part 2 later this weekend, but for now I'd like to call attention to a few existing channels that might have been overlooked. :)

#TastyCast - This weekend (June 26 and June 27), #TastyCast will be providing video coverage of a classic Quake II tournament that is being held by Silent Gamers. If you've ever heard TastyCast before, you know how awesome their casts are, so don't miss it!

#EVE - This isn't a very full channel, but it seems like we have a lot of people on the network who play EVE Online, so it can't hurt to spread the word. If you play EVE Online, stop in and say Hi! If you're curious about trying the game out, get a hold of someone in #EVE and they'll probably have a trial invite to send to you.

#UNO - Every Friday night, we try to get together and play UNO on IRC. Previously, we were holding that event in #UNO with our own bot. As of this past week, however, the bot in #UNO was changed over to altgamer's version, which supports a lot more gameplay modes AND allows a solo player to face off against the computer if there are no other opponents. If you're looking for our old version of UNO, you can find it in #GGUno or #Lounge.

#Milestone - If you like playing UNO, you are going to love Milestone! We usually try to get a game going every Monday night at 8 PM Eastern, but stop by any time and we'll be happy to show you how to play. The gameplay is a pretty similar style to UNO, but Milestone is built around car racing.

#IRPG - Okay, this channel is technically new so it really belongs in the next news post, but I feel compelled to highlight it anyway because of how long we've been without our precious Idle RPG. Those of you who have been missing the game from #IdleRPG should now join #IRPG instead!

#WorldCup2010 - Most of you have already discovered this, but if you're following the World Cup this year, there are many opportunities to spam your country's flag and shout "GOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!" in #WorldCup2010!

#CarClub - If you enjoy talking about cars, are thinking of buying a new car, or just want to share stories and/or pictures of crazy things you've done to your car, this is the channel for you.

There are lots of other channels to check out, and we'll be back for a UT-themed Part 2 in the next installment.

We're also currently in the preliminary stages of planning some other events (hint: some of them involve Digital Paint: Paintball 2 and Unreal Tournament), so keep an eye out for more community news throughout the summer!
