In relation to the "definitials" game

[TnT]

Did anyone ever play Acrophobia by the people who made You Don't Know Jack? Basically it was an online, multiplayer acronym game. A random assortment of letters would come up and each player would submit an acronym using those letters that fit a chosen subject. Then each player would vote on which one they'd like. Points were given to vote winner, speediest person and such.

I've not heard of it. I stole Definitials from the UK TV listings magazine 'Radio Times'. Sounds like fun if you fancy setting it up?

I wish I could, it's long gone now. The company ran the servers. I think there might be an IRC version running out there somewhere now that I think about it. I'll try digging it up.

It would be a fun programming project if I wasn't already working on something else.

Okay, I found some stuff.

Here is the original IRC bot

Here is one that has been recently updated:

It needs mIRC to run. If someone can setup an IRC room I'd be down for playing once in a while.
