While there are these excellent webboards, and while there are excellent websites around on the internet for EV/O strategeies and information, there isn't an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel truly devoted to it. Sure, there's #ev3, but as much as I love it, it's not really for EV/O. That's what I decided to start a new IRC channel, #levo, devoted to the discussion of the games (though if you want to discuss other things, I'm certainly not opposed to that!) The channel is intended to be without many restrictions, so we never go into +m (moderated) mode, and we allow anyone control of the topic. A word of warning... if these priviliges are abused, the operators will ban you. Of course, we don't want to.

Anyway, this is what you need:

IRC client: (url="http://"http://athena.paladinmacs.com/")AthenaIRC(/url) (OSX and OS9), (url="http://"http://www.shadowirc.com")ShadowIRC(/url) (OS 9 and below), (url="http://"http://www.ircle")IRCle(/url) (OSX and below, shareware)

Server: irc.ambrosia.net
Port: 6667
Channel: #levo
Connection Script (you can also type this in yourself, once you connect): /join #levo

A quick thanks to Andrew, who allows channels to be set up on his IRC server. Please note that although the channel is on ASW's IRC server, it is not an offical ASW channel.

Thanks, and I hope to see you there!

To have a channel about EV/O, as opposed to the general discussion that goes on in #ev3.

It is a good idea to have an ev/o channel, which is about the games, not just what #ev3 is :D. Just a thought, will this be all ev games, or just ev/o (and at that could it be all ambrosia games?)

Some PC irc clients are (url="http://"http://www.xircon.com")Xircon(/url) and (url="http://"http://www.mirc.com")mIrc(/url). There is also BitchX (sorry, but that is the name.) I think its (url="http://"http://www.bitchx.com")www.bitchx.com(/url) but i don't use it, and have no idea how to (never tried)

Well, a lot of channels have been made to discuss other ASW games (#pog, #cythera, #coldstone, etc.)... but we're willing to let any ASW stuff go.
