Next Scheduled Turnchat

[disorganizer]

well, i tried to connect to any of the ircnet-servers in germany, but it was impossible to connect to them.
someone in europe has a working server for me to connect to?

btw: i proposed the thread ;-P

[disorganizer]

another thing:
i now managed to connect to one server. could it be that ircnet is awfully slow? and that they only allow 8 characters for the nick? and that they dont have nickserv and chanserv?
i would urgently propose some other network (like for example dalnet). you will not be able to protect the channel you want to use otherwise (and the nicks you use also. someone could enter the chat as trip and pretend to be him and then screw the game)

could it be that ircnet is awfully slow? and that they only allow 8 characters for the nick? and that they dont have nickserv and chanserv?

1: no
2: 9 chars
3: they dont have those services, indeed. IRCNETers say, that they are for wimps .

What concerns the fake warning, it's valid I think. It would be safer to "rent" the Apolyton chatroom. Even DALNET isn't entirely safe.

[disorganizer]

right. dalnet was also just an example.
we would need a chatnet to support irc and webchat, because we will have citizens behind firewalls not able to irc to outside.
i think nick and chatroom-registration should be mandatory for this chatnet.
we should also be able to implement a bot for impartial logging of all activity in the room and to take the logs to public, as those are very interesting for the citizens not being able to attend the chat.

As far as i know, you can chat on IRC from a workstation behind a firewall (unless it blocks the outgoing port 6667). I do so all the time at home, as I use a router. The only thing is, you can't use the DCC feature (direct client connection) without a special module running at the router.

Another idea would be to use a private server for IRC. MarkG could set up one on Settler. It's not difficult. Or I could run one at my router. Channel protection would not be an issue, and if the server runs on Settler, even the Apolyton user database could be used.

[disorganizer]

this would be perfect. the apo-userbase for the nicks (with apo-password) and irc+web-access.

to the firewall problem: it depends on how rules are setup. but many firms directly block irc-traffic, so a real web-interface would be perfect in addition to irc.

Okay, as I said in the first post, all turnchats are being done in IRC from now on: Irc.Dal.Net #Civ3Dem.

[Alex]

I just would like to say that I won't be able to participate in the next chat, because I'm fixing my home computer this weekend (formatting hard drive, reinstalling windows, etc.).

But I'd love to read a log later.

[Space05us]

mIRC SUCKS!!!! I can't use it and Im the VP thats not very helpful....

[disorganizer]

dalnet also has web-access. try www.dal.net

[Kuciwalker]

As Thursday's chat showed, we can't depend on Apolyton Chat, as it sucks and it shoudl DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!! and so we're using the dalnet stuff.

[Spiffor]

Schedule updated. I'm trying to space things out for the upcoming week so we can organize things a bit better. My multi-day absence has set me back a bit and I want to get caught up.
