How do I get there?
• Click on the Chat link next to the User CP link
• Identify yourself by typing “/msg NickServ identify [yoursecretpassword]”
• Type “/join #warcraft”
• You’re there!

What games can I play?
The list of games we have available is always expanding. Just ask one of the people who are in charge which game is currently being played.

How do you play?
For instructions, please see the below post, which contains instructions for all playable chat games.

How is it structured?
The channel is always guarded against spammers by StatBot. Whenever possible, there will be people in charge of the channel who are making sure nothing goes wrong.

OK, I’m in the channel, but there’s already a game going on. What should I do?
If you want to join the game, just ask what game is being played and if you know how to play, join right in! If you don’t know how to play, just ask one of the people who are in charge of the channel to explain.
If you don’t want to join the game, just sit back and watch. But be warned, someone will ask you if you want to play the game. Just respond with a simple “No.”

No one is in the channel!
Unfortunately, people can’t always be on the internet (well, you know…). Try coming back later, or waiting in the channel until someone does come by.

I don’t like the game being played.
Just wait until the game finishes, then you can ask to play a different game. People are generally agreeable and will usually play the game you suggested.

I want to make a suggestion!
That’s great! You can post your suggestion in this thread.

Are you on the channel?
If I’m online, I’m almost always on the channel, which, by the way, is #warcraft.

Game Instructions and Examples

21 Questions
21 Questions is a relatively simple game. One person will think of a general object, such as “tree” or “lamp”. It can be anything as long as it is not specific, like “Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, patch 2.3”. The other players will then ask the person yes or no questions about the object, to try to narrow down what it is. Each person gets 21 questions. A guess as to what the object is counts as a questions. Try to start the questions general, like “Is it alive?” and move to specific, like “Can you type on it?” Remember, the person being asked the questions can only answer yes or no (or sometimes). Whoever guesses the object first gets to think of the next object.

An example of 21 Questions being played in the games channel (#warcraft):

[2009-01-05 20:19:00] <Knight7770> So one person, me, thinks of a thing
[2009-01-05 20:19:05] <Knight7770> it has to be a general thing or object
[2009-01-05 20:19:14] <Knight7770> and the other people ask yes or no questions to narrow down what it could be
[2009-01-05 20:19:17] <Knight7770> and then they guess
[2009-01-05 20:19:23] <The_Helper> a frog
[2009-01-05 20:19:23] <Romek> =D
[2009-01-05 20:19:26] <Knight7770> and each person only gets 21 questions
[2009-01-05 20:19:35] <Knight7770> so I will either answer yes or no to your guess/question
[2009-01-05 20:19:37] <Knight7770> :D
[2009-01-05 20:19:50] <The_Helper> its a frog right?
[2009-01-05 20:19:51] <Knight7770> each person has 21 individual guesses/questions

I Spy (on the forums)

I Spy (on the forums) is just like regular I Spy, except it’s played using images that can be found on The Helper’s forums. One person starts the round by saying, “I spy something [insert color here].” Then, the other players will guess which image the person is thinking of. Whoever gets it right will start the next round.

Ghost
Suggested by Anman64.
Ghost is a turn based game that can be played with any number of people. The game starts by a person picking a letter. The next person picks a letter, having a word in mind they want to spell. If they do spell a word (that's more then 3 letters) they are out, at any time any one person can challenge another person, if they doubt that a word exists composed out of the already stated letters. Whenever somebody is out a new letter is picked, starting with a completely new sequence of letters.

An actual example of a game of Ghost:
[19:36] <Knight7770> I will start now
[19:36] <Knight7770> Q
[19:36] <Knight7770> Letter; Q
[19:36] <kc102> U
[19:37] <Anman64> E
[19:37] <Knight7770> S
[19:37] <kc102> T
[19:37] <Knight7770> kc
[19:37] <Knight7770> fail
[19:37] <Knight7770> quest
[19:37] <kc102> no
[19:37] <Knight7770> :p
[19:37] <kc102> QUESTS
[19:37] <Anman64> LOL
[19:37] <Knight7770> you're out
[19:37] <kc102> j00 lose
[19:37] <kc102> QUESTS BITCH

[19:37] <kc102> >.>

Ghost

Ghost is a turn based game that can be played with any number of people. The game starts by a person picking a letter. The next person picks a letter, having a word in mind they want to spell. If they do spell a word (that's more then 3 letters) they are out, at any time any one person can challenge another person, if they doubt that a word exists composed out of the already stated letters. Whenever somebody is out a new letter is picked, starting with a completely new sequence of letters.

That was probably really confusing, so let's give an example of a normal game without challenges:

Code:
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: G
[B]lolfail39[/B]: H
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: O
[B]roflmaopmp[/B]: S
[B]gaykid09[/B]: T
*gaykid09 is out*
*new sequence of letters*

gaykid09 automatically is out since he spelled "Ghost"

Scenario 2

Code:
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: Y
[B]lolfail39[/B]: O
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: U

In this case lulzersauce does not lose, since "YOU" is under 4 letters.

Scenario 3, challenges

Code:
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: Z
[B]lolfail39[/B]: A
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: Z
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: CHALLENGE

In this case Randomn00b13 challenged lulzersauce. If lulzersauce can't tell Randomn00b13 a word that begins with ZAZ then lulzersauce is out. However, if he can, Randomn00b13 is out.

Now, a full game scenario:

Code:
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: H
[B]lolfail39[/B]: A
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: C
[B]roflmaopmp[/B]: Z
[B]lolfail39[/B]: CHALLENGED NUBFACE!
[B]roflmaopmp[/B]: OHSHI- I'm out
*roflmaopmp is out*
*new sequence of letters*
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: P
[B]lolfail39[/B]: O
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: T  [COLOR="Red"]<-- Take note, not out[/COLOR]
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: T
[B]lolfail39[/B]: E
[B]Randomn00b13[/B]: CHALLENGEEEEEEEEEEED
[B]lolfail39[/B]: IT'S CALLED "POTTER" NUBCAKES!!!!!11!!ONE!
*Randomn00n13 is out*
*new sequence of letters*
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: A
[B]lolfail39[/B]: C
[B]lulzersauce[/B]: N
[B]lolfail38[/B]: E
*lolfail39 is out*
*lulzersauce is the winner!*

For reference all "words" can be looked up at dictionary.com.

When stating the letter you want, to prevent confusion you may choose to make it not count unless you say "Letter: <Your Letter Here>"

My Ship Sails With
My Ship Sails With is a game, in which one person picks a rule. The rule could be, "Starts with the letter P", "Contains or is made out of metal", generally anything, be creative, but don't make it impossible like "Starts with Z ends with X." The other players can at anytime say "Does My Ship Sail With <Object Here>", and if the object fits the rule, then the rule creator says yes, otherwise he says no. The first person to guess the rule wins. The winner then creates their own rule.

No example this time since I think it is rather easy to follow. ;)

    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
