I’ve written up some instant messaging and general internet trivia questions for use in the IRC channel (now over 100 questions). When you see the username “TriviaBot” in the chatroom, simply type(in the main chat window) “!trivia” to start, and “!strivia” to stop. For a list of all the commands type “!help”. If this is recieved well, I will continue to add more trivia questions to it. (If anyone has any little known IM facts, please email them to me)
To connect to the Bigblueball IRC Chat, click here or use your own IRC client to connect to:
server: rakka.irc.wsyntax.com
port: 6667
channel: bigblueballJanuary 5, 2004 at 12:13 am #51617FaizanMemberI played it along with other members, and here are the scores:

Also added the following for those who have mastered the somewhat easy IM trivia:
Simpsons Trivia – !trivia simpsons
Movie Trivia – !trivia movies
Beatles Trivia – !trivia beatles
Unscramble Words – !trivia scrambleI should also note that every question is now worth 5 points, but decrease by 2 points after every hint (2 hints per question).

January 5, 2004 at 9:24 pm #51616FaizanMemberHeh! That’s cool! I took about 107 questions, but my connection sucks so it was part of the reason why my answers were going after other people’s. Plus, it was repeating questions after 103 I think.
January 5, 2004 at 9:26 pm #51614detn8rParticipantOnly 103? We had repeats after 10.
January 5, 2004 at 9:50 pm #51620shifterMemberIf you type “!trivia unlimited” it will repeat questions, but typing just “!trivia” should ask all of the questions only once.
January 5, 2004 at 9:57 pm #51618Grim ReaperMemberdoes it keep count of your total points even if you leave and come back to play later?
January 5, 2004 at 10:39 pm #51619shifterMemberAs long as you use the same IRC nickname it will accumulate your points.
The Trivia page (http://www.shiftmedia.ca/trivia) will now auto-update every 100 points. 🙂
February 12, 2004 at 1:03 pm #51622leetannMemberHello Everyone, I have found alot of useful things in these forums and i want to thank everyone that takes the time to answer all of our questions, I am still new to all this bot stuff and other things, I only started about a week ago. What i was wanting to know is if the bot that is running in the blueball irc chat room is compatible with the msn community chats? and if so is there some place i can download it from? I have downloaded one from this site and it will run in the community asking the questions in the chat room,, but it won’t recognize a correct answer,, it times out and says no one guessed it correctly,, so i am still working on that part. Also in order for them to even try to play it i have to start it manually,,, I would like to have one that they can type the !trivia and the !strivia to start and stop it.
