My... Brain... (A new, fun game brought to you by me and nek_!)

[Ziegfried]

Right, so we had this great idea just now... When we're talking on IRC, we pick one letter that we can't use. Ever. Saying a word that contains the chosen letter means losing the game.

I'm currently using O, while nek_'s using A. A short example:
[22:46:07] Skinner8> What letter did nek_ pick? (I'd type "what letter are you avoiding, nek_?", but I can't do that, see?)
[22:46:18] nek_> The first one in the 'letter-thingy'. (He can't say "A", so both that letter and the word "alphabet" are excluded.)
[22:46:23] Skinner8> A?
[22:46:27] nek_> Yes.

Obviously, I have permission to use any letters while posting on the forums.


So yeah. Extremely cool game, this. Tune in on our IRC channel to see us in action!

That is a cool game. I have seen games like that before. It is hardest with the letter E.

I'm actualy watching this and it's pretty funny. I was originally going with "S", but I folded in like my seventh line. I can't do it. Everyone else probably can.

[nek_]

We win whenever on the internet, IRC too.

I recommmend this 'fun-thing' to everyone.

[nek_]

I won this round. More tomorrow.

[17:04] (Skinner8) Oh damn.

[Ziegfried]

Damnit!

/me has not lost yet.

[nek_]

You will lose. Nobody possesses the skill to best me.

It's weird, I can't get into IRC. I'm just using Java. It's connected to the IP and port etc. but then it says connection closed.

[Ziegfried]

Odd. Got a firewall and/or router?

[((KvN))]

Yes. I'm currently using ZoneAlarm, and it says that ZA blocked access to it. So I closed down ZA, and it still won't work. I think I've done everything it says, including clicking yes when a popup appears.

[Ziegfried]

Well, try using mIRC then.

[((KvN))]

fo sho, thanks.

[nek_]

3 letters gone for me. A W K. This is getting quite difficult. I've been the victor in the contest though. Go me. This is just fun though. Everyone should try it.

Question. Why aren't you guys talking about this in....oh...say....your IRC guild thread? I am tempted to move or close this thread. Not because I can, I just don't fully understand the point to this thread, or at least it being in F4A
