Chat with Don Mappin and Doug Burke this Sunday!

**Don Mappin** · 04-13-2002, 09:48 PM

I've added a Java web-based IRC client to TrekRPGNet today. You can find it above on the menu bar blinking. It's a surprisingly small and powerful client that will automatically connect you to Magicstar and the #TrekRPG channel.

Behold the power of technology!

(Can a Mac user let me know if it works for them? It should...)

I'm planning to be there tonight. It's going to rock.

**Dr. Jonas Bashir** · 04-14-2002, 10:42 AM

I'll be 'warming my seat' from now on, even when we have six hours until the event. Anyone who wants to drop by is absolutely welcome.

**Capt Daniel Hunter** · 04-14-2002, 06:00 PM

Looks like the room is full

Ahh well, just have to wait for the transcript.

**Dr. Jonas Bashir** · 04-14-2002, 07:43 PM

How come? There were no access limits. Did you have a problem to log in? Try now, we're still there, though Don and Doug have left.

BTW, thanks go to them and to Decipher for their collaboration!

And, about the book winners, the lucky ones were Joe Dizzy and Greg Smith! Congrats to you both guys!

**Dan Stack** · 04-14-2002, 08:03 PM

I ran into a limit too when I tried to enter through trek-rpg.net. When I went in through mIrc I was fine.

**Capt Daniel Hunter** · 04-15-2002, 05:39 AM

Darn. It never occurred to me to just go to Magicstar and go in that way.

Ah well

Hope ya all had a good time.

Any enticing snippets of info come out?

**Dr. Jonas Bashir** · 04-15-2002, 07:32 AM

You have no idea

Tonight I will be editing the chat log, so everyone will be able to enjoy what has been said there. The final edition will be available at TrekRPG.net. (thanks again, Don)

**Capt Daniel Hunter** · 04-15-2002, 08:03 AM

Excellent

I look forward to reading the log.

**Don Mappin** · 04-15-2002, 09:35 AM

Turns out Magicstar doesn't allow more than 4 connections from an IP to prevent spoofing (a wise precaution). Unfortunately the relay app for the Java client used TrekRPGNet's IP for every connection, meaning only the first 4 people using the client were able to connect. (It's not my fault!)

I'm going to see about trying to reconfigure both to pass along the client IP. If I can't do that I might have to switch to another chat client that will.

Transcript will go up as soon as I get a clean copy with the unnecessary bits removed (joins/leaves/spamming) and hopefully with the answers immediately following the questions. It was chaos there for some bits.

It was fun!

**Dan Stack** · 04-15-2002, 09:50 AM

And we had a real spammer/flamer dude that Dr. Jonas Bashir wiped out ever so elegantly.

Great job by those running it and thanks to Don and Doug for their oracle of wisdom.

Hmm, that would have been fun to watch

Yep, Dr Jonas Bashir, Super-Moderator saved the day.

**Dr. Jonas Bashir** · 04-15-2002, 02:11 PM

Actually, let's give credit to the one who deserves it. My co-op, Anarchy Bob, was the one with the Quick Draw (+2) advantage. He was quick enough to prevent more damage to flow (by moderating the channel with +m).

And let's thank MagicStar's flood restrictions, too. They were automatically banned at their 4th flooding line.

Hey Don! We have an oracle of wisdom!

Seriously, though, it was a lot of fun, folks. Let's do it again some time.
