My Idea about Waiting for BA (in General)


BootyGod October 20 2005 5:32 PM EDT

well I once played a game that ran a turn based game(similar to BA) that of course people waited around for hours waiting for more turns... Well it also had a chat thing and one day someone got bored and made (I guess its called a bot) that gave random questions to people and kept track of who got how many right. They were normally really hard but it was fun and something to do while u waited with u friends. I thought it would be cool to make a seperate room in chat to do that... so any thoughts? plz dont just say its horrible... say y or if u like say y

Nice little challenge for some of our more gifted players. We had lumpbot in CB1, Frodbot in CB2.

Quizbot would be a nice variation imo, and stop me running stupid contests :)

yeah c thats what it basically would be and thx for u response

It would be nice esp if there was a prize involved.

BootyGod October 20 2005 5:53 PM EDT

The prize thing would be whatever the person created wanted it to be... though I meant this purely for fun not for any kind of gain but thats up to the Mob lol

was this game called Lords of Legend?

Sir Leon [Soup Ream] October 20 2005 6:15 PM EDT

Yeah, it would be fun...Then on trivia nights you could play for prizes and through the rest of the week you can just play for fun.

I like this idea. It would be something to do while waiting that long 10 minutes for BA lol

If Jon gave me the details on how to connect, I think the chat would use IRC, its Java's HotSpot Client. If theres a way to connect to it in IRC I could run a Quiz Bot.

This is a cool idea, but it is generally Jon's policy to avoid using bots anytime that a player can perform the same function. As it is, we have all sorts of contests run by players, often with rewards.

Maybe instead of a bot, we could designate a player as the official CB Contest Administrator, with rewards consisting of items/cash that have been taken from banned players?

Stryfe, it's an NFC Chat, not IRC. See faq->chat for more info

Stryfe October 20 2005 7:48 PM EDT

Okay, I was sure it used Java which can be used in IRC and NFC. I never looked into it but it would make since being that its located in www.carnageblender.com/nfc

We don't need no stinking IRC.

48Zach October 20 2005 8:37 PM EDT

lol just like in lords of legend

IRC chat , and QuizBot ,lol

anyways , this would be cool , but i prefer jus to have it in normal chat , no IRC chat

honestly I got no clue what people talking about with IRC and all... Yes I did get it from LoL but... still I like the idea and from what i understand from you all so do you. But if you do it with a person then it becomes boring cus only that person can run it. Thats why I said it should be a bot cus its always there for people who log on at different hours.

I love questions that can be fun and challenging

Jordan23 October 21 2005 3:08 PM EDT

Question can be like:

*Are you a Multi?
*Do you like the NUB?
i just joking :)
