How to join the chat?
With a java client
You can use a special java client provided by civfanatics to connect to the chatroom. Be aware this client is only a workaround if you are not able to use a "real" chatclient like mirc. For example you will not be able to see multiple rooms at the same time.

With a "real" chat client
The best way to connect to the chatroom or to any other chat is to use a "real" irc chatclient, like MIRC or Trillian.
* connecting to the server
This depends on the client you use. You will have to enter the servername "irc.irc-chat.net" into this field.
* joining a channel
This also depends on the client. Normally you use the commands "/j [channelname]" or "/join [channelname]" to do so.
In MIRC, you would have to use "/j #demogame" to join the demogame chat and "/j #civfanatics" to join the normal civfanatics chatroom.
It is advisable to join both rooms, as off-topic discussion which may also be related to the game will often be in #civfanatics.

Note: since this is a password protected room you need to do an extra step in order to join in the room.

You would have to type in "/join #demogame_CFC_MSDG <Password>

If you have Trillian:

PIcs to come

How to register your nick?
On chat systems, anyone can use your nick. To prevent others from using it or even imitating they were you, you can regsiter a nick with a password.
* how do i do this?
When you are at the chat with the nick you want to register, type into the command line "/nickserv register [password] [email-address]", where password is the password you want to set and email-address is a valid email address (you will be sent a confirmation mail which you have to comply to within 24 hours).

After you did this, you will have to enter "/nickserv identify [password]" every time in future you come to the chat.

Example:
email is "xxx@yyy.com" and password "zzz"
would be to register:
/nickserv register zzz xxx@yyy.com
and for login to the chat:
/nickserv identify zzz

How to become a chat deputy?
* Get elected for president or vice president for a temporary access to the operator right for free
* Sign up for the V+ or the Half Op Level program, Contact me for details

1) be polite
disregarding of the publically vaild netiquette will result in bans.

2) listen to the operators
if an operator tells you something, listen to him. if he tells you to stop something, stop it.
our chatroom is moderated, so if an operator decides to devoice you, you will not be able to talk there any more. keep this in mind. successive violation will result in a permanent ban from the room.

3) no clones
the usage of clones (duplicate logins with different names) in order to influence polls or confuse others.
exceptions can be made but must be announced in the chat and autorized by the designated player

4) no spamming, advertising or disturbing
any disturbing action like spamming or advertising will be proscecuted.

5) comply to the rules of the demogame
all rules of the demogame are full in effect in the chatroom. the action to be taken on a violation of those rooms is up to the designated player.

6) Do not, and I repeat, Do not give out the Room's Password to any non-member that is not on the list Thunderfall has provided.

7) Since Croxis is keeping a log and posting stats on this room. I am enforcing a strict No spamming/abusing the IRC stat. here are the following concequenses if you do not follow the rule

1st offense: Will be kindly asked to stop
2nd offense: The room will be moderated and everyone but the offender will be voiced
3rd offense: Will be kicked
4th offense: Will be Kicked-Ban (The ban will last for 1 day)

2 things:
1. What is the password?
2. Our current constitution contains no deputies whatsoever, not even a VP.

1. Check the first post, it should be under "Current Password"
2. I just added it in there, Just incase the Consitution does get rewriten in the Future .

Note: the password is 6csrwg1d3 as of 2/18/2003

I would like to commend Civgeneral! We had been working on this for a while(getting the password to work.) and somehow he figured it out! He is a genius!

Need a third op? I have five months experience as #demogame op...

The Chat Office of the MSDG is proud to adnounce that the just held its first turn chat .

@Octavian - Certanly , just let me get out some review tests .

Since I have heard that someone (No names will be given out)has given the password out in a public area. I chave Changed the Password to: 5h452k and increace the Security level to code Orange - High alert

Procedures taken in a Code orange:

• Change of Password

I'd be willing to serve as an Op if needed. My scripting experience may be of some use. I could be the chat room Sergeant At Arms.

"Halt. Identify yourself or be banished from this room immediately!"

"But.... but... "





<><><><>

T-minus 6 and counting...

I would love to be able to get into the room.... but I can't!

"[12:21:45] *** #demogame_CFC_MSDG Cannot join channel: Must identify to your nickname to join an unmanaged channel. "

And I am identified!

What I had to do was close down mIRC then start it back up again. It worked for me!

But I'm on trillian ;-)

@40J - Welcome abord 40J . after looking over your past record that you have some previous op status as President of Fanatika and also your scripting skills to . For you we can skip the V+ op program. And place you in the reg op section.

I'll be a new moderator since I am in the chat room a lot, and since CG is leaving...

I've had this happen to me on occasion also. I think it happens as a result of something with chanserv or nickserv or one of those blasted irc servers. My suggestion is to be patient and then try again in a few moments. It's worked for me in the past.

Stop WF444, Im not leaving. I am returning to my post as Chat op. 40J I would like to recomend that I would become the SOP in the new room you have created, or possibly transfer the Foundership to me.

What is the new room he created?
