    WE ARE HOLDING ALL TURNCHATS ON IRC NOW, AS APOLYTONS CHATROOM DIES WHEN WE ALL JOIN

    for the advanced people this is all you need:
    Server: irc.dal.net
    Channel: #civ3dem

    for the people that haven't used IRC (Internet Relay Chat) yet, there are 2 ways to get into the chat.

    If you want to install mIRC software (Windows)[list=1][*]go to www.mirc.com and download the client[*]install and run the client[*]when it opens it'll say you should register, ignore it if you see it[*]it'll ask for a full name, an email address, and 2 nicknames[*]i just put krux for the real name and email, and my nicknames are UberKruX and UberKruX- (the second one is just in case someone has your nickname)[*]Your nickname should be SOMETHING like your poly name, if not the exact thing. we need to recognize you[*]in the "IRC Network" Dropdown box, select DALnet[*]under that combo box, theres another one. pick a server close to you, or whatever you want if you cant find one real close.[*]hit "connect to irc server"[*]a lot of text will scroll by, and there might be a few failed connection attempts. let it run for a while. if it fails, choose another server.[*]when it connects a box should pop up, labeled "mIRC Channels Folder". type "#civ3dem" in the box (no quotes)[*]you should be in the chat at this point.[*]if the channels box didnt pop up, you should see a LONG textbox at the bottom of the screen, type "/join #civ3dem" (again, no quotes) and you'll be in.[/list=1]

    if you dont want to download mIRC, there is a java client you can use
    • go to www.dal.net
    • on the right, theres a box that says "Chat Now!", and asks for a nickname. Type in something like your apolyton name, and click Go!
    • if your browser asks you to install the java components, approve them and let them install.
    • a box should then pop up, which looks like a chatroom.
    • type "/join #civ3dem" (no quotes) in the line where you would send text (bottom line)
    • you should now be in the chat.


    hope this helps you guys.

          you can use the java chat for a minimal download.

                  Maybe someone here can help me. When I enter a chat, the applet won't open, I just get that little symbol in the top left corner that indicates 'picture'.

                    There are many problems with IRC which can't be resolved in advance. UberKrux has done a good tutorial, but for more help, you should directly chat with those who are in the turnchat... If you see Trip, Uber, myself, or other members of the Turnchat (Tassadar, civman, MWIA etc.) on the Apolyton chat, please don't hesiate and come on the 'Poly chat to dicuss it. We need you !

                      Yeah, I was in the 'Poly chatroom the whole time and civman for most of it also. We could have conveyed some of your communications.

                          Bump. For anyone who doesn't know how to access the chat.
                          Remember it's undernet now not dalnet. PM me if you have any problems although I don't know about mac users NW has started a threadhere .

                          This thread is linked from the directory and I'll probably be directing any new members to it so no need to top it.

                          We may switch to the poly chat sometime I dunno.
                          Are we having fun yet?

                              Let's go to Poly Chat as long as it's up.

                              apolyton.net
                              6667

                              NOTE that Apolyton IRC server is NOT irc.apolyton.net; it is just, simply, only apolyton.net.
