Imprompty claims party on IRC!

Myself and others are excited about the upcoming claims. So for the next hour there is a claims party in the IRC channel. We'll hold author's hands as they wait and console artists that don't get the claim they wanted. The rest of us will just be excited to see the match ups of author to artists.

If you want to sign up for the art claims the irc chat is NOT the place to do it. Check out the summaries previews post for the Cap-IM Big Bang for information on how to participate in claims, which is at noon(12 pm) edt. So, about about 20 minutes from the time I post this.

Next week's chat will be on Sunday. Don't forget that you can log into the irc channel at any point during the week. Normally, there will be other people around.

In an effort to keep the chat channel free of spoiler, Whizzy has created a channel #cap-im-spoilers for talking about the upcoming Age of Ultron. To get to this channel use the same method you would for #cap-im but type #cap-im-spoilers instead. Being one of those people who don't like spoilers, you won't see me there.

The #cap-im and #cap-im-spoilers IRC channels are on DALnet. If you’re using a regular irc client the server is irc.dal.net and the channel is #cap-im and/or #cap-im-spoilers. There are three different options below of web clients. If one doesn't work try a different one.

Got to https://kiwiirc.com/client. Type in the nickname you wish to use. The channel name is #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers. There will be a little blue link that opens up the server and network info. Click on that and enter irc.dal.net as the server and 6667 as the port. Here is an example of what it looked like when I filled it out.

Teyke found yet another web client option if the two above aren't working. Go to http://www.wsirc.com/ and fill out the box to the right like Teyke's example below.


Last chat there were a few people who were able to get the http://www.dal.net/ web client working, so I've added it back here. Under Chat Now fill in your nickname, and #cap-im or #cap-im-spoilers.

Just remember that authors are supposed to remain anonymous at this point. Don't name names. ;)
