Since a lot of people seem to have trouble understanding the lingo when they first come onto irc, i thought i’d post this handy helpful guide so even the fresh-faced beginners can understand some of the more non-obvious acronyms we use on FSIRC.

enjoy!

A helpful guide to acronyms for the new folk.

1st player to reach level 10 was tzar, the Omnipotent Troll

1st player to scale the dizzying heights of level 25 was Peanut, the Mad Peanut.

Now on to greater adventures….

The game settings have had a minor adjustment, to allow for people who ghost their nickname to no longer be penalised for it, within a timeout as of 12:00 on sunday, 28/03/10.  If you have error-quit in the last 5 minutes, any penalty will be discarded upon login.

More Free Stuff!

Ganging up on each other is fun! – The first group of people to initiate a team battle and win, will each receive 1 roll of the prize pool.

Over the hill – The first person to reach level 30, will receive 1 roll of the prize pool.

IdleSword is fun!

Due to the constant prodding by kaelee and her demands for exp, we have a shiny new irc game, IdleSword.

IdleSword is an idlerpg in the same vein as the g7 irdlerpg.  It’s an rpg game for irc in which the aim is to idle in #idlesword, the longer you can stay in that channel and be idle, the more you level up.  You don’t have to be idle in all channels, only in the single channel #IdleSword.

You can explore the idlesword help pages in the main menu at the top of the site, and get yourself ready for setting up your character when the game goes live.  To make everything fair for people in different timezones and to make sure nobody gets a super head start, the game will be going live tomorrow at mid-day server-time (1200 thursday 25/3/10).

Be sure to check out the prize pool, you could win fsp, items, even your very own pick-axe!

and don’t forget…  there’s nothing at all in the rules that says you can’t ‘encourage’ people to speak in #idlesword and penalize themselves…

Overall the Dev Chat was quite a success and I certainly hope we’ll be seeing more of the big man himself in weeks to come.

If you missed the chance to speak to Hoof and would like to see the Dev Chat, we have The log available to read here, and if you want to download it, the raw log available here (if you have trouble downloading this file, it is available in a .rar here).

Once again, thanks Hoof, a grand night was had by all!

Oh, and if you’re curious, no, it isn’t on fire. Scotland has finally succumbed to the robot invasion, the machines are rising against their masters. Right now, HCS are just trying to avoid becoming slaves to our new Shiny Server Overlords…
