    Default The IRC Sticky (Updated 9/17/2010)

    New Server - now at Espernet, not ThunderCity! Just replace references to ThunderCity here to Espernet

    Introduction

    IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It's a simple chat interface we use to talk to each other during the day, and it usually has a minimum of 15 players at all times of the day, and typically peaks around 30 players in the evenings/night Eastern time.

    IRC is perfect for people who like talking about poker or talking with poker players, but don't feel like they're reaching their full potential with the forum/bulletin board interface for communication.

    Connecting using mIRC

    YouTube - Connect to #flopturnriver Using mIRC

    Connecting to IRC

    Here are euphoricism's instructions for using the program mIRC to connect:

    A box will pop up. Create a nickname for youself, and join server irc.thundercity.net, it might be on the server list, it might not. If not, just add it yourself. If it asks for a port put 6660

    When youre connected, then join the channel flopturnriver by typing /join #flopturnriver and/or the ftr poker channel by typing /join #ftrbc
    Connecting to IRC Using a Web Browser

    Alternatively you can go to http://www.thundercity.net/chat/ and after you log in type /join #flopturnriver and/or /join #ftrbc instead of needing to download mIRC

    Two Channels

    Currently we have two channels: #flopturnriver is for the general chat and banter, and #ftrbc is for all poker chat.

    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. After it connects, type /join #flopturnriver in the box and hit enter, and you're there.

    Plus IRC clients have ridiculously more functionality. And it doesn't disconnect you or exit out if you hit the wrong buttons (maybe I am just an idiot).

    I'm all for IRC over the web chat, it is like, 1000 times better.

    If none of the higher-ups here want to do it, I can work on it or something. I dunno.

    I'm not a fan of the web chat though, even if I am in there all the time.

    The chat "we" have now is annoying at best, and theres never anyone there. (present company excluded)
    If it gets people in, im all for a new version.

    I was not paid for this testimonial. When I joined I won a 400bb pot like 30 minutes after I joined the chat, coincidence I think not.

    go to www.mirc.com and download/install mIRC. Run it.

    A box will pop up. Create a nickname for youself, and join server irc.thundercity.net, it might be on the server list, it might not. If not, just add it yourself. If it asks for a port put 6660. Alternatively you can close that grey box and t ype /server irc.thundercity.net

    When youre connected, then join the channel flopturnriver by typing /join #flopturnriver

    the IRC channel will be fine because it will be run by FTR mods. It will not be operated by people who were banned from FTR.

    Which is exactly what my first point was -- to have it ran by mods.

    Omfg I'm such a mover and a shaker. Like one minute I'm like omfg let's have IRC channel and 10 minutes later there's like a dozen people in there.

    Another option is Pidgin. Then you can manage AIM/MSN/Yahoo/IRC from the same app. Also it auto adds color to the names so you can somewhat differentiate in IRC

    Yeah if I was trying to get confidence in things being a little differently this time around then having ME make posts about the channel probably wasn't the brightest idea.

    Then again we're doing fine right around 15 people in almost all the time so hopefully it'll stay this way; I like having people to talk to all in one window.

    Shit, sorry to hear that miffed. Wish you and yours well.




    Jack, no its not down. Try a different port, like 6660. I am currently connected on port 6664.

    Thundercity doesnt work on some ports. I have no idea why, but I do know 6661 doesnt work, but 6662 does for example.

    If youre using mIRC type /server irc.thundercity.net 6660

    After connecting to the server, in the server window type:
    /msg NickServ REGISTER <username> <password> <email address>

    You'll get an email from them. Copy the command with "COOKIE" in it (the entire line), paste it in the server window of your irc client. Your account is now verified and you are logged in.

    In the future when you logon, before you can join the channel you have to login (take out the space between "NickServ" and the @):
    /msg NickServ @Services.ThunderCity.Net AUTH <username> <password>

    Ok seriously, what is the fucken problem Rilla. IRC was fine for a month until you joined. Everytime my internet has a glitch I have to re- authenticate? WTF!!! Is there a good enough reason for this or are you just being a bitch again? I used to be able to keep logged in and catch up on conversations without making people repeat themselves. Now I come on the computer an I am logged out.

    There are some new tools we can use in #flopturnriver now thanks to euphoricism:

    Typing !handlist will bring up the past three hand histories posted into the forum.

    Typing !calc 2+3 will do the computation.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    FTFY. Also note these will only work when I'm in the channel (which is near 24/7 but worth noting.)

    If anyone can think of anything else useful, let me know. I'm out of ideas.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    I'm currently working on some scripts to let people do some common calculations like how often a bluff of x size into y pot has to succeed to be profitable and things like that. I need everyone to suggest some ideas for scripts that I could put together, though.

    If someone could just whip up a simple "exactly what two cards is my villain holding in this hand" script I'd appreciate it kthx.

    I put together a quick 10-12 video showing how to connect to #flopturnriver using mIRC, how to change your colors and work with the interface, and some other stuff.

    {x} watched first 30 seconds of video just to hear spoons lol accent.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    The accent isnt even that bad. I guess when i read something from someone i give them a certain voice and it was kind of weird to hear how he really sounds.

    Still love the Spoon though. <3
