The IRC Sticky (Updated 9/17/2010)

hahahahahah
hihihihihihi


hillbilly lol


the world is odd: i always thought spenda would sound like this, but never spoon

[spoonitnow]

cute accent

cute mod amirite

[LeFou]

dang, no one talking; is IRC still our redheaded stepchild?

[spoonitnow]

dang, no one talking; is IRC still our redheaded stepchild?

Pretty much. I'm sure it has to do with a lot of people's perceptions of the old #flopturnriver since most of the people who seem to have a problem with IRC I've never seen in there.

[BennyLaRue]

Sounds like a younger Andy Griffith imo.

[wufwugy]

yea the accent is pretty fucking hilarious. when i first heard it it seemed to aid perspective about how hes always whining about being from a podunk redneck tarnation shindig bfe or whatever

[wufwugy]

did i misuse hick vernacular?

[euphoricism]

Wanted to point out that !handlist still works to see the last 3 hand histories posted in the channel (only works when I am online which is like always). I'm currently working on a script that will increase functionality to this feature.

[euphoricism]

You can now request a certain number of previous hand histories from my database of posted hands. Currently this is limited to 10 hand histories, though that might be expanded in the future if it becomes useful.

So to reiterate:
"!handlist" will still return the previous 3 hands

I want to again encourage our members to post their histories and reads on the same line whenever possible like this:

http://weaktight.com/328017 villian is pretty tight PF, previous hand I bought the pot with KK and didnt show, ok fold?

This will allow the reads AND the link to show up in the !handlist feature.


Also I'm not sure if I mentioned the !calc function previously, but just in case you can request a basic calculation from me by using !calc. For example:

!calc 2+2 will return 4
!calc (2+2) will return 4

Note that proper parenthetical notation is important as mIRC follows strict order of operations. For Example:

!calc 2+2/4 will return 2.5
!calc (2+2)/4 will return 1

Thanks, and if anyone has any other ideas for scripts that would be even a little useful, let me know and I'll give them a shot. The mIRC scripting language is impressively powerful, but I'm not an expert coder.

ya cuz im using the java version through my browser

[spoonitnow]

I'd just like to note that it's 9 am eastern and there are 15 players in IRC.

[spoonitnow]

I'd just like to note that recently we are getting ~30 players/night.

[euphoricism]

!handlist and !calc are working again (after I reformatted and lost them)

I also added !handsearch N which will display the last 3 hands of a given IRC member
Example: !handsearch spoonitnow

Please note that since the format, the IRC hand database got blanked. Not a big deal, but don't be surprised if you search yourself and nothing comes up, just means you haven't posted any hands in IRC since uhh.. today .

Note that the search function is name sensitive (IE, you can't !handsearch spoon, you ahve to !handsearch spoonitnow) and if you regularly change screen names like many of you do obnoxiously often, you might have trouble trying to find yousrself in the !handsearch function.

Update 10/21: As of last HD crash (ugh), this only returns last hand. Haven't gotten around to a full re-write yet.

Cheers.

You have to come into IRC for the boobs, obviously.

[boost]

FINE.

[euphoricism]

() Added !vpp [stake] [hands]

Will return the number of base VPPs you will earn at a given stake over a given sample of hands. Currently only working for Full Ring up to 400nl.

Example !vpp 100 5000 will return 1680 VPPs.

() Added !concierge [stake] [hands]

This will return the $ value of the FPPs earned by playing the given value of hands at the given stake. Note that it currently only supports numbers for Full Ring players. This is particularly useful for figuring out the hourly rate of rakeback (which is why i wrote it)

Examples:
!concierge 25 650 returns $4.58

[badgers]

bring back trivia plz!

[minSim]

Does anyone have working webbased IRC to join the channel? I'd like to use this at work, but can't seem get find a working webbased client.

[lolzzz_321]

do you use firefox? Alternatively you could go to http://thundercity.net/chat/

[hagscel]

do i have to register and pay for it or is it free to use?

hags

[badgers]

chatzilla + firefox

everything is free.

[hagscel]

which one of the available networks should i use??

[spoonitnow]

thundercity.net

Watch the video I posted in this thread

[hagscel]

well, i did, but it wont connect me. anyways its 4 am over here, quit for now.
getting the following error message over and over again:
Your username is invalid.
Connect with your real username, in lowercase.
If your mail address were [email protected], your username would be foo.

gnaa, tired, sry for being a menace; if u have an idea handy that solves it i`ll stay up for half an hour.
thx anyways

hags

i feel retarded

[oskar]

It's not so much that windows sucks monkey balls - it's the users recommending retarded programs.

Why in gods name would you recommend an IRC client that is expiring after 30 days if you don't buy it - secondly that damn thing won't stop trying to connect to the server, which I apparently got wrong - but my only options are OK/retry or "help" when I want to CANCEL
do I really need to bring up the task manager to stop this retarded program?

Now seriously - what's a good IRC client?

On an unrelated note - the howto video is down.

---edit---
Just found out that there's an Xchat port for Windows.
http://www.xchat.org/

Connecting with Xchat is easy. When it starts up you put in a user name of your choice, go to the server window.
You need to put in your full name, otherwise it won't let you connect. The standard port worked fine.

server irc.thundercity.net

After you clicked connect, it will open another window where you can specify which room you want to connect, which is:

#flopturnriver

If anyones interested, I could write a short howto with screenshots.

If you don't have a username and password from nickserv on thundercity then don't put one.

mIRC doesn't expire after 30 days if you don't buy it, despite what the window that you get when you start it. I've been using my copy for well over 200 days now. Also, if it wont stop trying to connect then you simply disconnect, oskar. It's not the program's fault that you don't know anything about it.

The howto video is down because I accidentally deleted it a couple of days ago, so I guess people will have to make do with the step-by-step instructions that hold your hand through the entire process.

Maybe you should take a little while to examine why you're lashing out.

[spoonitnow]

Recorded a new video, available at http://www.spoonitnow.com/media/irc2.html

[oskar]

Maybe you should take a little while to examine why you're lashing out.

Sorry, wasn't directed to you but the program. Which I still think sucks. Even if it's unexpiring, I think for howto's it should go: OSS > freeware > shareware, and there are a ton of open source alternatives. XChat should meet pretty much everyones needs, and pidgin is probably even better for the casual user.

[triumphant cracker]

i joined up ........

triumphant is my name?

[will641]

spoon incredibly halpful video. awesome accent btw.

[bigspenda73]

loool I watched the video

[Sasquach991]

Accent? What Accent?

[Corey]

Glad to see Irc is up and kicken still I remember starting irc on gamesnet....

[Parasurama]

Can someone tell me why I can't connect to IRC anymore?

I'm using pidgin,

username: parasurama
port: 6660
encodings: UTG-8
proxy type: use global proxy settings
auto-detect incoming UTF-8: off
use ssl: off

thanks

[Parasurama]

Never mind, posting in this thread has magically fixed the problem. Still, if there's anything wrong with those settings feel free to point it out.

[massraff]

look a know much about the ic things but im trying to work here and i just wanna play poker?

[a500lbgorilla]

hahaha

[rong]

Is this still going?

Maybe advertise the fact that you can get free porn site passwords on there, might motivate people to download the software.

[originaloser]

Does anyone know of a way to access IRC when my work firewall has port 6660 blocked? Is there an online irc relay that goes through port 80 or something?

[originaloser]

Please disregard previous post, using my innate knowledge of google and the intertubes, I was able to acquire the answer myself.

[spoonitnow]

Updated the OP.

You accent is mesmerizing.

Meh Spoon sounds like he should be living at my farm. Standard around these parts.

[Imthenewfish]

Noone is in here

[Citron]

just can say i cant belive that

[spoonitnow]

Noone is in here

There hasn't been less than 15-20 ppl in there in a long time. You might have the wrong server or the wrong channel.

[Kfuse]

Hey all, as most of you know I kind of disappeared from irc because of some people who didn't see eye to eye with me i guess. For those of you that liked talking to me and had good conversations regarding poker, feel free to add me on skype under "kfuse14". I have 0 interest in coming back and I know there are some people who don't want me to, I just thought i'd say this here to give some of the people I liked talking to a chance to add me to skype. I've been working very hard at my game with great results and some of us have had some great conversations about poker, so if you have any interest in doing that again plz hit me up. Peace all, glgl.

And MIRC won't connect anymore no matter what port number I try.

It just says connecting... then times out eventually.

For those looking for a lightweight, easy to use client with firefox: chatzilla

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/

Links onto your tool dropdown in ff, i have it set so when it opens it's directly into the ftr room. Very easy to use and stable.

Trying to do this as I can't install IRC in my current location.

Tried
/server irc.thundercity.net
/server irc.thundercity.net 6660

Can't connect
Any sugesstions?

[kiwiMark]

You may need to be persistent. It's a fairly tinpot server and sometimes takes me up to ten tries before it connects.

[bigred]

lol I think I got sick of the result orientedness tendency in hands discussed on irc. Strange that I dont even remember getting on the computer before going to bed, yet typing/spelling is almost perfect.

I'm sorry about the "FU" though, that seems uncalled for.

Read the first post of this thread.....

.....then do what it says.....

[spoonitnow]

UPDATE: 9/17/2010

It looks like mIRC has started expiring when it wasn't before, and the thundercity.net website isn't working lately, so here are instructions for using IceChat:

Go download IceChat: IceChat IRC Client :: IRC Client Extra-Ordinaire :: The Chat Cool People Use

When it comes up when you run it, on the left click the Add New button and put in irc.thundercity.net, then choose irc.thundercity.net from the list and click connect. It will connect and you'll do /join #flopturnriver like normal, etc.
