NationStates Jolt Archive

Rather than have two stickies clutter up the top of the board, I'm putting the info for both chats into one sticky thread =) Yay, no more people asking "Where's the chat room?"!

*ahem* Anyways, there are several different servers on which Nationstates IRC chats are held:

Espernet:
IRC SERVER: irc.esper.net
Port:5555, 6666, 6667, 6668, 6669, 7000
#NationStates : For NS chat
#NationStates_General : For NationStates chat specifically for General forum posters
#Nationstates_Politics : For Real Life Political Discussion
#NationStates_Technical : The IRC equivelent of the Technical Forum
#NationStates_Underground: Started by California and Alaska, described as being something of a hybrid of #nationstates and #nationstates_general, for IC, OOC, and generally everything. Sorta like the Gameplay forum.
#unitednations : For discussion of UN related matters.
#NationStates_Diplomacy : For discussing international diplomacy
#InternationalLeadersLounge : For roleplay - recently reopened
#nationstates_rp : Another spinoff channel for roleplaying.
#sport : IC discussion about Nationstates sports, particular the World Cup series.
#internationalincidents : Channel for folks who frequent the International Incidents forum.
#nationstates_2: Channel for the discussion of the upcoming sequel to Nationstates.


For further assistance, I have an old FAQ (http://rpstudios.ian-justman.com/junk/how.html) that I wrote for another website that contains a very thorough walkthrough for mIRC.

Hopefully that covers everything =)

Greetings,

I would like to let it be known that I am the lead operator of the #nationstates channel on irc.esper.net. If you have any problems with someone there, please log the activity and contact me either on the channel, or through a TG. Please have some common sense while chatting and avoid spam/flame/flood etc. Thanks, and enjoy!

In the spirit of Karma's above post, if someone is giving you a hard time or otherwise going out of bounds on uplink2k.com, let me know. You can find me on U2k 24/7, look for KitBox or KitBoxPocket (or some derivative thereof). You can also Telegram me, but I'm not likely to get that for a while because I don't check my inbox very often. You can also look for Praedon, Isaac, or Kaijin, all of whom are IRCops or admins on the network, in case I am idle.

And of course, no spamming, flooding, flaming, cyb0r53X0ring, etc. ^_^

Lookit! I found a way to keep my forum admin sig line rhyming like my game mod sig line! =D

Always look at the small letters.

See this thread ( #ILL Rules and Regulations (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69386)) for rules governing the chatroom:

Ignorance of these setting rules is no excuse to disobey them. Read and be educated before you join please.

*Notes once again that +m is the fucking most stupid thing an op can do*

*sits in the channel, voiceless, without ops in there*

Instead of +m and devoicing a user when he does something wrong, how about kick/kickban?

Something that DOES NOT accidentally turns against people suffering from disconnects and missing ops...

-edited due to sheer dumbness-

*Notes once again that +m is the f--- most stupid thing an op can do*

Not really, it's very useful. You can keep people in a room so they can see what they're missing, whilst being immune to their whinings....

I love it. :D

And we need MORE PEOPLE in the EsperNet IRC rooms!!!!

It can easily be countered though by people who know a lot about IRC. I know one way it could currently be countered, but I won't say what it is so that no one can take advantage of it.

Everyone, please get mIRC. It is simply a blast.

Just today, we had a semi-IC battle raging between Sirithil (leading a small coaliton) and Ruhr (leading a large coalition). Of course, Sirithil won because she cheats and ignores. :roll: :wink:

Seriously, it is a lot of fun and a great quick discussion forum.

...usually...

nobody's ever online when I'm there on uplink!

Most of our users are on United States Eastern Time, so you're on pretty early for them.

yep I'm on GMT +1

but ... when it's evening for me, there's some people in #main but never in the nationstates-related channels

There are always users on the EsperNet server, pretty much 24/7.

ooc:

Wow, look! I am on espernet RIGHT NOW!

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Most of our users are on United States Eastern Time, so you're on pretty early for them.

There are still people on the uplink server? o.O

I am now on both when I'm on .... not to mention quakenet :P

Your point is?

Just a note:

If you're British, don't use slang in the channel. The Ops appear to take exception to it...

Just a note:

If you're British, don't use slang in the channel. The Ops appear to take exception to it...

It's more than that, and you know it. When dealing with varied cultures, locations, religions, creeds, genders, preferences, it behooves us all to at least attempt some semblance of consideration for things that might to us seem as nothing, but rather offend others.

And when one has been asked, repeatedly to try and do so, and continues to be both rude, belligerent, and flatly refuses to even consider such reasonable requests, well what do you expect will happen?

You have been a continual source of contention and argumentativeness in the channel, with an attitude of 'so long as it amuses me, it's fine and well and the rest of you should suck it up'.

Guess what? It doesn't work that way. I'm sorry things ended as they did, but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit and let you try to innocent your way out of it and accuse the ops of being anti-British, or any other nationality for that matter.

--Nathi's Player, who oddly enough, just happens to be one of those ops.

Anyone else having trouble with Kit's IRC? (irc.uplink.net 6667)

<-- Can't get in.


--Felix

Yes. They are having "technical difficulties" if you will. More people need to come in there! Sheesh, its usually just me.

[OOC: Nobody else come to the #nationstates channel on irc.esper.net, after downloading mirc at www.mirc.com ! Nobody !

Ahh, that got you all. See you soon. :P]

How do you use the "#" command? I try it, but it fails. ChatZilla help isn't much, and frankly I didn't have any help in figuring how to join irc.esper.net. Can anyone help this IRC-new-bie?

"#" isn't a command, it's what's put in front of a channel's name to distiguish it from a nick or some other wossname.

The command is:
/join #nationstates
{or whatever channel you want to join}

HTH. :)

anyone know how to use irc from trillion? *is rather confused*

anyone know how to use irc from trillion? *is rather confused*

Well, if I knew what "trillion" is, I might be able to help.

I'm assuming you don't mean the number. ;)

TrilliAn is a program that combines IRC, YahooIM, AIM, ICQ and MSN

It's come to my attention that some of the ops are not fully competent in using the tools available to ops, and some of them don't really care. In hopes of reaching the ops who care to make themselves more proficient in channel management, here's a little tutorial on banning masks.

If somebody is bothering the channel and it is necessary to ban them, you can be sure of doing a good job by following this procedure:



First, /whois the troublemaker. It should give you back something like this on the first line:

Glaug-Eldare is Howdy@66-44-2-66.s574.apx1.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com * Kafel

This is the hostmask, and it contains all the information you need to make a proper ban. "Glaug-Eldare" is the nick, "Howdy" is the user, and "66-44-2-66.s574.apx1.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com" is the host. When making a ban, the mask takes the form "nick!user@host" To be sure that the offender doesn't simply change nicks and come back in, use a wildcard in its place. The mask you should have by now is this:

*!Howdy@66-44-2-66.s574.apx1.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com

I'll deal with changing usernames in a bit, but now I'll move onto the host. Dialup connections use a "dynamic IP," which basically means that every time they dialup the host will change. If you used the ban as is, all I, er, Glaug-Eldare would have to do is dial up again so that "66-44-2-66.s574.apx1.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com" doesn't fit. To avoid this, you need to guess which parts of the host never change. In this case, ".lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com" is constant. Therefore, all you need to do is place a wildcard in front of it to get the ban that follows:

*!Howdy@*.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com

This is a proper ban. It is specific enough to only target the user "Howdy" dialing up through RCN from Maryland. Most trouble users won't come back if you make a ban like this. More advanced users, however, might change their username, making it necessary to replace that with a wildcard too. If the troublemaker returns with a different username, replace the username with a wildcard to get the blanket ban below:

*!*@*.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com

To avoid this ban, I, er, Glaug-Eldare would have to switch to a different provider. That's not likely to happen soon, so the ban is effective for months at least.

I hope this tutorial is followed by the #nationstates ops who take channel security seriously. As for those who don't, it is just a sad reminder that big nations don't necessarily make good ops.

XOXOXO,
Glaug-Eldare

*!*@*.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com

Just a note, this would also ban anyone else on *.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com...

*!*@*.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com

Just a note, this would also ban anyone else on *.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com...

Well, that's a pretty specific host, so I think the risk is worth it IF the offender changes his username.

<snip>


Every IRC client I've used makes changing the username simple. Just sign off, change what's in some blank, and sign back on.

I've used mIRC, ViRC, Ice Chat, and ShadowIRC. One or two of these might refer to it as the "Real Name" or some such, but it's easy on all of them. I'd recommend always banning with the username as a wildcard.

And remember, ban before you kick, or the son-of-a-gun will come right back in, and flood everyone off.

Yeah, it's easy, but lots of problem users are pretty thick. Additionally, some networks use the ident instead, which is much less likely to be changed. I prefer specificitude in bans rather than generalitude, but if ops want to ban with 3 wildcards every time, that's up to them.

hi im abit confused i'm new

Err...what do you need help with?

how do people who arent computer geniuses "uplink" these chats?

how do people who arent computer geniuses "uplink" these chats?

Uplink is just the name of one of the networks that hosts a nationstates-themed chat. You connect to it through an IRC program like mIRC. www.mirc.com should have the information you need in its support sections.

thanks for your helpful advice-Im far too lazy to follow it tho :o however if you ever have any AOL or AIM inspired chats lemme know and Im there. I think chats are the best way to lern for noobs because most peoples eyes glaze over trying to read instruction manuels

Yeah, I know what you mean. My bro got me into IRC, so I never really had to learn from square one.

*watches mIRC retry uplink over and over* is this meant to be happening or did i mistype something? the server works however.

*watches mIRC retry uplink over and over* is this meant to be happening or did i mistype something? the server works however.

Uplink isn't really where the action is; I'd try espernet instead.

Woohoo!

I am proud to announce the creation of another (cue groan) NationStates IRC room. Three, in fact.

It's currently hosted on veratien.ksilebo.net port 5000, and the rooms are #NationStates and #InternationalLeadersLounge (as they seem to be traditional.

It also hosts the #Lancre channel.

I've set this up because the uplink server seems to be hard to connect to, and Espernet often experiences lag spikes. Hopefully, using this setup, the server should run extremely quickly. I'll put some technical info on the server at the bottom of this post.

mIRC users can connect using irc://veratien.ksilebo.net:5000/ and other client users should put "veratien.ksilebo.net" into the server field, and "5000" into the port field on the relevant panel in their client.

I hope to see people there!

-Peng-Pau.

P.S.: I am not contending with the other channels. If any of the operators of the other NationStates channels noted on this thread wish to have op on these channels, please connect and /msg Veratien. It would be much appreciated. This server has only been set up because I feel the other two servers, that is the actual thing you connect to, for the other two sets of rooms are unreliable. Thanks.

How the heck can I get any of these to work? A link to wherever I'm supposed to be if I don't have whatever I need would be good.

Mac: Download Snak
http://www.snak.com/

PC: mIRC or BersIRC
http://www.mirc.com/
http://www.bersirc.com/

Follow the instructions for entering a new network, connect to that network, and type "/join #nationstates"

And there you go.

I would suggest IRSSI for Mac's, as Snak is quite evil at times...

IRSSI? Never heard of it. Besides, Snak is great, runs in both 9 and X, and I've never had a problem.

http://gizmolabs.org/wiki/Irssix

Heh... There's a grand total of four regular users on the Vinari server... :?

Come on, there's at least 35000 active members on this site, how can only 20 of them use IRC? :P

*drags you all into the Esper.net and Vinari rooms, and the Uplink2K one when it's working... :?*

And on that note, would people who join the Vinari rooms actually give people more than 3 seconds to say hi before they leave?

*glares at Mr. Nonchalant*

IRSSI? Never heard of it.

http://www.irssi.org

My favorite IRC client. It never crashes, and is coded from scratch :)
It has tons of features including running Irssi on a server and using it to ''proxy'' a client to the Irssi client which forwards it then. Great feature when for example running from both home and work.

Ok, for those of you unable to download an IRC client, I've created a Java IRC Interface.

You can select whether you want to connect to vinari.co.uk, esper.net or uplink2k.com, and it'll auto-join the two most commonly used channels on those servers (in the case or Vinari or Uplink, #NationStates and #InternationalLeadersLounge, or Espernet, #NationStates_General and #InternationalLeadersLounge).

You can access it here (http://veratien.ksilebo.net/ns/irc/chat.php).

It's fairly simple to use, moreso than mIRC or IRSSI are.

I hope to see a lot more people in the various channels. :D

EDIT: Fixed it so it can connect to one of the three networks...

I am sorry forany inconvenience whatsoever, but I am new and do not know how to access the chat.

You do not need a link, you need an IRC client. IRC is not the Web. It is a separate thing. It is a way of chatting--real-time communication--with other people. It does not need, and cannot use, a browser.

Do not join, honestly. Do not.

Tyranny! The tyranny! There is no freedom of speech, and fun is not allowed. There is only consistant complaining about players like Thelas, SeOOC, and Belem. Aside from that, there is nothing...except me regularly being banned.

Odd ... there seems to be a ton of folks who continually manage to have fun on there, AND manage not to get into much trouble. Besides, I seem to recall you being one who continually complains about TONS of folks. Pot, kettle, black, boy?

There's plenty of 'freedom of speech'. There are however, lines drawn for when someone is offensive or irritating the hell out of a good majority of the room. As ops, we have a responsibility to at least try to keep things somewhat civil when we can. Of course we can't always be there, and of course we're as fallable as the rest, being only human. We do what we can, and I for one, offer no excuses. If you have an issue with me, feel free to contact my nick via query - one needn't be in channel to do that.

There is a plethora of discussion, planning, even rp done in other channels set up for such uses. It's an excellent way to readily talk with those you're playing with, discuss matters both in game and rl, and any number of things.

There are LOADS of spinoff and independant rooms on the esper server, for alliances, individuals, special interests and the like. There are no rules saying you have only one room to choose from, nor anyone saying that if you don't like any one given room that you can't up and create your own, and invite anyone you like to it.

It's an excellent resource, with endless uses and possibilities. Instructions for how to make use of it can be found on the front page of this thread. Best of luck to those wondering how to link up.

I have been looking at the irc.uplink2k.com site, and cannot seem to connect, has any one else had this issue?

I don't think it exists anymore.

It was on for a long time. Then it was off for a long time. Then it was on for a little while. Now it's off. It's anyone's guess at this point.

no irc???

i thought i might have been an indespencable tool for this place....

Especialy when there are allot of people connected...

There is IRC, but not on the uplink server. Those on irc.esper.net are up and running just fine.

Yup, sure are. Come on in and meet the Wombat in its natural environment - drunk and surrounded by lady-boys ...

I have a question. How long is someone usually banned for?

:oops:

It looks like the channel has gotten the My Doom virus. Great. How long will the NS channel be off line?

Um. A channel can't get a virus. And it works just fine.

*thwaps Thelas for not knowing how the intarweb works*

thats great, thanks for doing that

Hmmm... could someone explain how this would work for a trillian user? Maybe? I can't find esper.net on the available list, and it doesn't want to let me add it.

Yes, I agree with Nathi. And for those, no names mentioned, that has been banned just because they irritate some OP's with their words, but still are good Roleplayers, there is the #freenationstates channel. For OOC chat, plotting and planning, and ofcourse the mandatory verbal Ju Jutsu.

C'mon, meet the people behind the names that you cover in fear or worship "face to face". Meet Iesus, The evil, the good, the meek. They're there.

#internationalleaderslounge has re-opened on irc.esper.net. Free drinks.

And the irc.uplink2k.com network is back up for the zero other people that care. :)

Esper.net is having some redirect problems after the Night with Max Barry. So, if you cannot get on, please be patient. Blame Mr. Barry until you get on.

Also, if either of those don't work, try LEGEND.ESPER.NET

Espernet homepage (http://www.esper.net/). Click on the Servers tag and from there, on the map. There's a list of the different servers there.

And don't use Damacoles.esper.net ........

There's now an NS-UN channel on Espernet - #unitednations. The topic is locked in as the current resolution.

Indeed, there is, but most of them are unreliable... Excalibur, legend, and cosmos seem the most stable, but cosmos is where most people connect their IRC bots through, so as a result can become seriously lagged sometimes...

There's a new channel called #NationStates_Diplomacy (on Espernet) that is devoted for NationStates diplomacy (but you could probably guess that).

I've just established a new channel myself, #NationStates_FFA... This is a kind of conjuncture of the #nationstates & #nationstates_general chats.
To be used for RP, Diplomacy, shooting the breeze, etc...

Why don't I ever have a nice place i'v made about 7 of these places and I have never had a nice place my mom , dad, and, brother all have a nice place exsept me i have a stupid place/places do you please tell me i if you do my e-mail address is Punkyd1@aol.com.

Mod Edit: Excessive smilie spam deleted. Please don't do that again.

Ok...can someone give me a link that actually works where I download this thing from, IRC, esper, whatever you call it. I'm tired of people having conversations in these things and me not being able to have a part in it, so could somebody give me a link to the most "active" channel? Thanks.

I do not understand this IRC stuff. I D/Led like 3 seperate times and tried toget it to work, but it never did. Is there a "IRC for Really Stupid Morons" crib sheet out there somewhere? I really would like to interact with other people. Sometime. :(

www.irchelp.org

Go there, that site has a lot of help for getting started with IRC. It's a "geekier" form of chat, but it's really cool, and not all that hard to understand.

I closed #NationStates_FFA in favor of starting a new channel, #NationStates_Underground... its basically the same as #NS_FFA in all aspects. No Harassing, Spamming/Flooding, or Otherwise being unpleasant...

The rules of this channel easy and are far more relaxed than those of the other channels, also this channel is for all NationStates people... No spamming, flooding, harassing, or just otherwise being unpleasant, just try to keep things moderately toned [NC-17/R] and try not to post anything too graphic.

7 times! Whooo!

They had to kline me 7 times!

And we will keep doing it till you get the message!

:shock: IRCop nations!

the zirc.org forums have a forum part called "#nationstates"

the actual irc chan is operated by a "hal0"

Not anymore it isn't.... :twisted: (irc://irc.zirc.org/nationstates)

Could #nationstates_rp be added to the list as a chat for NS Roleplayers? Its not run by game mods or anything and whatnot.

IRC is stupid... Eventhough I dispise the Microsoft cheaters, but their MSN Messenger works far batter.

See this thread ( #ILL Rules and Regulations (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69386)) for rules governing the chatroom:

Ignorance of these setting rules is no excuse to disobey them. Read and be educated before you join please.

link appears to not work... :oops:

Funn: Dragonisia appears to have succumbed to the 28-day inactivity virus. But I reopened the room and I am generally always in there. Come in and join!

(And I don't recall what rules he set but I really only have one: stay in character as much as possible.)

I decided to post links to all of the rooms just cause it seems more covienent then typing it all in

These links won't work, because the IRCd is operating on a non-standard port.

Also, I'd suggest not using these rooms either, because they're hardly ever used, so I'll probably stop running it soon anyway...

But for the sake of correctness:

The folks who frequent International Incidents (particularly those enamoured of war or storefront threads) tend not to get much respect in the main #nationstates channel on esper.net. I've therefore registered a new channel just for them: #internationalincidents. Same general rules will apply: behave yourselves, don't post spam or porn and obey the operators. Beyond that, they're free to discuss II-related topics without fear of ridicule from the rabid character RPers (myself included).

I have a question. How long is someone usually banned for?

:oops:

I don't know what you did to get banned... but expect to be banned permanently, alot of the Ops in the official NationStates channels are Moderators of these forums and some of them will bite your head off for the smallest of infractions. I have been banned permanently despite my apologies, some people around here have no compassion and some just couldn't give two sh*ts about how sorry a person is about a mistake they've made.

Regardless I haven't even bothered to load up mIRC to see what the hell is going on in #NationStates_General or to even find out if anyone would be so generous to let by-gones be by-gones (which is very unlikely... the possibilities of which are like that of Michael Jackson being able to legally run his own day-care center... again this is judged on how I was treated last time when I humbly apologized.)

So, Zeronia expect a worst case scenario... these people around here believe that they can judge a person based on a single mistake.

~Ryuko M. Kotani.

At least two mistakes, in your case.

And, surprisingly enough, 25- 40 users in the channel, generally, and they do not get banned.

Now, why is this the case, when there is, apparently, such an iron- fisted rule?

No, of course not because just maybe, you made a mistake? Just maybe?

Nah, impossible...

Nah, impossible...

Easily admissable... there've been two mistakes I made, the first mistake I made could have easily happened to anyone else... especially when you have two files with almost identical filenames. I merely wanted to show someone a picture of a character... I realized before I posted the picture that it would be unacceptable to put the picture up in its existing condition considering the background of the picture was shall we say for mature audiences only I cropped the character out of the picture and made a new one with a similar file name and when I went to post it I clicked the wrong filename.

I apologized for that mistake, however its the second mistake I have repititiously apologized for.

I'm sure that one day you'll find someone to sympathise with you. However, like it or not, posting links to porn sites or images can earn you an automatic ban. And yes, unless explicitly stated, bans from #nationstates are permanent. You can try to appeal to Karma, but I wouldn't recommend pestering him. If he's already said "no" then give it up.

Now that we've covered this yet again, can we move on?

Sure, I have moved on... I was just merely answering a question that went unanswered...

For the record. Cali has been answered. Time, and time, and time again. Repeatedly. To the point of almost being harrassment on this person's part. Frankly, I myself am tired of the debate, tired of this person playing the tragically abused martyr, and tired of having to continually defend a decision that was in no way made lightly.

This was not based off of 'one little mistake' with justice tragically overlooked, and punnishment unfairly instituted. This person was warned repeatedly if improper content, of more than one link posted to the channel of inappropriate nature when it was already known to be unacceptable, and between this and other factors, including harrassing the ops on account of not being able to accept the consequences for poor choices and actions, the ban was made final.

Seeing this continued here in no way convinces me to take another look at it, in fact, quite the opposite. Now, if things have not been made patently clear by now, I would suggest you hire someone to read and interpret it back for you, because you are obviously blind or incapable of basic reasoning skills yourself.

The only reason I believe this continues to be an issue is that your attempts at creating your own channel fell flat. That, frankly, is not our problem. Behaviour within the #nationstates channel is. You proved yourself unable to do what 40 some odd plus people at a time manage to do on a daily basis.

Glad to hear you have moved on. We are through with this conversation.

Not to make this anymore of an arguement than it already is... but because '[my] attempts at creating [my] own channel fell flat'? Just to clarify things for you and anyone else who wants to make an issue of it, the reason my channel fell flat is because I stopped messing around on mIRC for a few months because I moved out of where I was staying in Iron Mountain, Michigan and moved back to Ogden, Utah. Regardless, whatever condition the channel is in, I may eventually take some time out of my day into visiting the #NationStates_General and #NationStates_UnderGround channels. As for #NationStates that chapter in history has already been written and closed, whatever happens there doesn't concern or bother me any.

Recently, I got back into playing Earth: 2025 Free For All (the game I played before I got involved in NationStates) and I have been occupying myself with that game since June.

Nice try. I have logs where you discussed your problems with IRC and how you couldn't get the turnout you wanted for your channels, and how you would go from wanting back in, pestering Karma about it, and then pulling this same old 'Yeah, well I don't want it anyway' crap. Would you like me to post them? Your first died out in the first month you had it due to disuse. I had people in #ns asking where you were because even you didn't hang there after a while. If it isn't an issue ... quit making it one.

As for #nsg ... sheesh. You don't even give people a chance - let alone recognize that perhaps this is a slow time of the day for the residents. For example, just earlier:

[02:49] * Joins: Sandra_Devno
[02:50] * Sandra_Devno is now known as Sandra_Devnostraeva|California
[02:51] <Sandra_Devnostraeva|California> this place is dead
[02:51] <Movodor_Alarin> yep
[02:51] <Sandra_Devnostraeva|California> Jesus... I am almost tempted to uninstall mIRC and forget this place for another four months
[02:52] <Movodor_Alarin> well do it then
[02:52] <Movodor_Alarin> or is it possible that you are never on at a good time?
[02:53] <Sandra_Devnostraeva|California> Well, excuse me if I am a daysleeper
[02:55] * Sandra_Devnostraeva|California sighs
[02:55] * Quits: Sandra_Devnostraeva|California (Quit: )


You get out of it what you put into it, babe. Now for THE very last time ... take your bitchin' elsewhere. Stick a fork in it, man. It's done.

This is great thank you. :)

IRC's great, but I noticed there's a lot of bitter people there...

Why is there a limit on the number in chat now?

#nationstates unable to join channel (channel is full)

Why is there a limit on the number in chat now?
Because Karma has his bot script reset it whenever someone enters the channel. We had a bunch of spammers try to flood the channels, and one of their tactics was to join from a bunch of different IPs all at once.

Unfortunately, sometimes the bot script doesn't work 100%, like now. I can't get back in either. It'll get fixed.

Ah right. Bots can be a pain sometimes.

You forgot #nationstates_wank :P

Nobody's forgotten about it. I just don't want it advertised on the front page.

Question: Does anyone really use #NationStates_Diplomacy, #InternationalLeadersLounge and #nationstates_rp ?

When I visited nobody was there. Ever. This may be due to me being there in silly times or whatever, but maybe advertising inactive channels to newbies is a bad idea.

Anyway, #templeofknoot is sort of a "private" channel but anyone from NS who wishes to worship their Dutch god (or just, uh, talk) is welcome there.

IRC's great, but I noticed there's a lot of bitter people there...

[OOC: That's probably because the NS IRC channel used to have a bunch of people who were all pretty much friendly to each other. Then, one day, month, whatever, everyone got really cranky with each other. Constant arguments then started. I was the cause of some, aye. Woo, go me, I suck. Anyhow, yes. That might well be why some bitterness is detected: perhaps people miss the good ol' days when we sat around talking about anythang that came to mind... WITHOUT arguments. Oh well.]

How does one create a channel, by the by? Does one have to pay to get it hosted? Is it transparently obvious and I am a hopeless numpty? Please use really obvious terminology... I am a complete luddite when it comes to this sort of thing. Thank you.

To create a channel of your own is just a matter of typing /join #[channelname]; if the channel doesn't exist you create it. Registering the channel involves a few commands I don't know.

How do I connect using Ircle for OSX?

How do I connect using Ircle for OSX?
I don't know how to use IRCLE. I, myself, use "X-Chat Aqua", which can be obtained from http://xchataqua.sourceforge.net/

For those using "X-Chat Aqua" for MAC OSX, do the following: [ Descriptions are in italics and instructions are in bold. ]

A dialog box should show up with a section at the top labeled "User Info". There should also be a list on the left labeled "Networks".

Click the button that says "Add Network".

A new item should appear in the list called "New Network". "Network" is probably a misnomer; each entry is really a set of connection instructions for your client. You're going to create a new set of instructions.

OPTIONAL: Double-click the "New Network" entry in the list. You may now give a new name to this entry.

Most of the dialog box should be occupied by a section labeled "Settings for Selected Network". If it isn't there, then look for a checkbox called "Edit mode" and select it. It should be under the button labeled "Add Network".

In the "Settings for Selected Network" section, there should be a list on the right with two columns: "Server" and "Port". There should be an entry that says "NewServer" and the space to the right of it should be blank.

Double-click on the word "NewServer" and type in: irc.esper.net

Double-click on the blank space to the right of "irc.esper.net" and type in: 6667

In the "Join Channels" field, type in: #nationstates

OPTIONAL: If your nick is already registered on irc.esper.net (not likely, if you're a beginner), then type your password in the "Server Password" field.

Now you need to type in your own name, somewhere. You have two options: You can use the same name for all networks you connect to (OPTION #1), or you can use a different name for each different network (OPTION #2).

OPTION #1: In the section labeled "User Info" at the top, type in your name (it doesn't have to be your real name) in "Nick names", "User Name", and "Real Name".

OPTION #2: In the "Settings for Selected Network" section, UNCHECK the "Use global user info" box. Then type your name in the "Nick Name", "User Name", and "Real Name" fields.

At this point, you should be all set.

Click the "Connect" button.

Edited to remove incredulity at above deleted post. Thanks, Mods of Reason.

Helm Deep, I've been having a hard time with excalibur.esper.net, so if you're trying to connect through there, try irc.uplink2k.com instead. That works for me.

http://www.esper.net/servers/

There is a link to all the espernet servers. If one does not work, try another!

Note: MaxChat will only be on the EsperNet #nationstates. It will not be available on Uplink or any of the other servers.

If you are banned from #NationStates, you may watch the chat live on the channel #MaxChat - Friarbot (my bot) will be utilizing my relayscript to give the text there as it happens.

If you are joining for maxchat today, please join both #nationstates and #nationstates_Q&A. The second channel is where you will submit questions for max!

On EsperNet, #NationStates_Diplomacy is dead, hasn't been active in months. I'd know. I'm the old founder of that channel.

In Espernet, #NationStates2 is a new channel made for chat about NationStates 2. When NationStates 2 is released, it will become a private chatroom for NationStates 2 people only.

I tried connecting to Espernet a while ago...It said I had an open proxy so they z-lined me. I have had this problem before but I forgot how to fix it. Can anyone help me out?

er - e-mail kline(at)esper.net? (shrug)

I'd like to announce the creation of a new subsidary IRC channel concerning Nationstates, #Nationstates_Para-roleplay .

Basically, this room is intended to fufill a similiar function to that supplied by the current YAHOO! Chat rooms avaliable on the respective messenger, the difference being obviously using a NationStates setting. This room is to inspire on-the-fly, unscripted roleplay in real time between any characters of your choosing. The location will vary depending on what takes the fancy, but will always leave much open to the imagination. The setting will be as vague as possible, for example taking place in no "nation" for the sake of avoiding logistical problems.

This will be "para-roleplay". That is, not focusing on one-lining responses, or statements rather than focusing on paragraphing your responses to others in an attempt to build a real and entertaining meshing of roleplay. You are free to interact with any and everyone who frequents the channel, although obviously it is their choice that determines whether they respond in kind.

It'll obviously take a while to get off the ground, but I think it greatly improves the description in your writing, and it's also an excellent oppertunity to test-run new characters or situations without resorting to the relative finality of the forums.

#Nationstates_Para-roleplay

<Deleted>
seems like you all want to stick with esper and its net splits

ATTENZIONE:

We' have been experiencing a series of spambot/clone attacks on the Esper IRC channels, so ... for ease of entry, as a temporary measure only, there are officially keys for both #nationstates_general and #nationstates.

Ask anyone in said channels if you go to log on and you find you cannot. How do you know who's in said channel? Typing /names #nationstates will get you at least a few for example. That and most regulars know the usual nicks of those that hang out there. I'm just really tired, and want to go to bed, and everyone else is asleep who's opping so ... g'night. Hopefully this will clear up tomorrow.

--Nathi's Player
(The one and only - thank God)

ADDENDUM: #nationstates key is maxbarry #nationstates_general is gehennaissexay

We've tried taking them off several times today, but the spambots have been running rampant. Esper has been doing all they can, but it seems the entire bloody nation of Turkey is the problem at the moment.

We appreciate your patience while we try to get things settled.

For reference, both channels are now -k.

']Rather than have two stickies clutter up the top of the board, I'm putting the info for both chats into one sticky thread =) Yay, no more people asking "Where's the chat room?"!

You'll have to wait for one of the ops to unban you from #nationstates.

I have removed the ban.

While it was obvious to me that you were having technical difficulties, please disconnect your computer rather than flood the channel next time.

Thanks for removing the ban...


Odd...It just showed me as unwelcome:

-cosmos.esper.net- *** Autokilled for You are banned from this network...

{another server:}

You have been Autokilled.
-
-discworld.esper.net- *** You are not welcome on this network.
-
-discworld.esper.net- *** Autokilled for You are banned from this network...

That would be because you were kicked by an IRCop. Lee apparently went on to akill you. I'll go see what I can find out.

Update:

You'll have to send an email to kline@esper.net as the ban message states. I spoke with Rory in the IRCops channel and clarified the issue. They'll wait for your email before making a decision.

sent the email, tell em to look for it will ya?

I demand that #NationStates2 be added to this list! With a channel record of 16, it is more active than almost all of the channels on this list (except #NationStates_General, #NationStates, and sometimes #SirisTemple). And #NationStates_Diplomacy hasn't been used in months and is no longer registered. Please remove that.

Maybe if you tried asking nicely first, Nanaka? Just a thought.

The channel will be added with a speed and efficiency directly proportional to the good grace in which the demand was made. After all, we cannot offend the channel record of sixteen (thus indicating that normal usage is far below that [my count was eight unique users, although one was a bot and so seven is perhaps a more accurate number]).

Maybe if you tried asking nicely first, Nanaka? Just a thought.I did. I pointed that out in this very thread.

After all, we cannot offend the channel record of sixteen (thus indicating that normal usage is far below that [my count was eight unique users, although one was a bot and so seven is perhaps a more accurate number]).It is still larger than most channels on that list (with the exception of #NationStates, #NationStates_General, and a few others) and gets most of its activity several hours after 1:09 EST when you came in. NG, Euroslavia, NationStates, and Goobergunchia usually come on daily and they weren't on yet at the time you checked.

Emphasis mine. I'm not all too much for dealing with petty sandbox demands. Ask nicely or not at all, please--I do like to think that every once in a while the time me (and my comrades) spend on fulfilling requests is appreciated at least to the very least requirement of decorum and politeness.

And yet you went out of your way to go into #NationStates2 and count the people there and make that post. And when I asked politely months ago, the request was ignored for months. If this thread isn't going to be updated and is going to use an outdated list you should either:

a) turn it into a listing of just #NationStates and #NationStates_General and remove all others
b) unsticky it

You're barking up the wrong tree, Nanaka. Check the first post: It's Rep's. You want it updated, ask her nicely, and stop whining and bitching at everyone else. I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that perhaps she didn't see your initial request in all the clutter in here? Did you ever stop to think that perhaps a polite tg might be appropriate, or a request in IRC that could be passed on if she weren't present?

This isn't an NS mod thing after all. It's a helpful extra run by folks some of which happen to be mods, others who are not. Rep thoughtfully put up a thread for folks who wanted an easy ref. She didn't have to, but she did. By all means, please - continue to act like a jerk about it. It is, after all, your right. Just like it's ours to dismiss such behaviour out of hand.

What a difference a word makes. I'm neither "bitching" nor whining. I'm simply defending myself. And please stop attacking me. One word makes it seem so much nicer, eh? I'm sorry if there was a slight misunderstanding.

One more thing - define 'active'. Cos in my view, #sport with 6 users with 87 lines of chat in 47 minutes is more active than #nationstates_general with 0 lines of chat in the same timeframe.

PS 'Chat' here is defined as 'talk' or 'action'. Quits/joins/ghosts/topic changes/voicings/oppings/etc are not considered.

I'm sorry.

#nationstates2 : Nanakaland's secret channel for NS2 users onlyScolo: First off, #NationStates2 is not +s. If you saw it secret, then you are terribly mistaken. It hasn't been secret since way before I requested you to check in on it. You could probably check the logs of someone neutral and it'd prove that the +s was never removed and yet it is only +nrt.

Second off, putting that invisible line in there that has the text was cruel.

Third off, there are no NS2 users yet. It can't be for NS2 users only.

Please remove that whole line.

Hiya, just letting people know that the Java Chat Applet is now at http://vinari.co.uk/nationstates/irc/chat.php instead of on veratien.ksilebo.net. It will also be possible to access it from http://nationstates.vinari.co.uk/irc/chat.php once the subdomain kicks in.

Also, the Vinari IRC Server has been offline for about 6 months, so you might as well take it off the first post here. :)

I wanted #NationStates2 to be gone from the listings because it was hidden and the description was wrong, k?

#NationStates_Diplomacy is back, though it appears as if it hasn't been removed.

#Jennifer_Government and #NationStates2 are two unlisted channels that I politely request you to add to this listing. Please?

#sport is very rarely IC. It's mainly a OOC discussion room, where rules are made, arguments are begun (and normally settled), and LE and Eauz are ridiculed as a rule.

Of course, this doesn't reduce the fun...

Krytenia laughs maniacally

And you forgot to add Krytenia to that list :p

The only time IC stuff even vaguely comes into #sport is when the World Cup Draws happen and people swap their Nation nicks to names of their famous sporting characters. Or it's player horsetrading between club teams.

And you forgot to add Krytenia to that list :p

I get ridiculed IC for crying out loud. Now don't make me laugh maniacally again.

ERROR Host zlined: Open Proxy found on your host. Please visit www.esper.net/proxies for more information. (2005/04/06 12.33)

eh? can someone thats more interent savy help out here? it disconnects me after I try to connect to espernet. I did check the link thats was provided but I know nothing about proxies so it didn't help me one bit.

heeeeeeeeeelp me

WTFH is wrong with Esper.net??! I am unable to connect with Chatzilla!

hey, im new and have a question, anyone here to help?

What's your question?

hey, im new and have a question, anyone here to help?

Ask and you may be answered!

edit: i just realised i was unbanned :) i will never annoy everybody with british accents again..or at least try hard not to :P

I'm new to IRC and I just downloaded ChatZilla. I'm so confused; I have no idea what to do. All I want is to connect to an NS server/chatroom/room/I don't know. Also, which one most closely resembles II?

(Hoping this won't get deleted.)

Help me please!

Anyone? Help?

First ..get Mirc, Chatzilla is woefully limited. Mirc can be found at www.mirc.com Second, the nationstates channel is hosted by irc.esper.net , in Mirc open a new window, the server join command is "/server irc.esper.net" wait till you have joined then enter the channel join command which is "/join #nationstates"
or whichever of the many nationstates based channels that are running you wish to join.

Woah. Apparently, mIRC costs money after thirty days. I'm not paying for mIRC when I can download something else free. If ChatZilla really is that bad, which clients are free?

It doesn't cost money after 30 days, it's like Winzip which you can continue using.

I don't want to clutter up the thread; I'll start a new one.

Also, which one most closely resembles II?

II? Probably #nationstates_wank heh.

Pay? I've been downloading many applets... mirc would be the one to go.

Just checking to see if anyone else is having a bit of trouble with Esper at the moment? Im trying all the different servers with no results - also the Esper website appears to be down. O.o

Unknown host here!

I suggest we all who can not connect go to irc.highteq.de #nationstates

I keep recieving "Unable to resolve server" when trying to connect to Espernet, so at least I'm not alone in not being able to connect.

/me logs in!

In the meantime, for anyone having trouble with Espernet, use any of the following servers instead of 'irc.esper.net'.

# chocobo.esper.net
# excalibur.esper.net
# cosmos.esper.net
# damocles.esper.net
# neskaya.esper.net
# legend.esper.net
# discworld.esper.net

Normally I connect to 'neskaya', but I just managed to login at 'legend'.

I'm getting a fucked up Esper.
