Reminder: #SNKPlaymore @ EFnet - The home of SNKPlaymore (Mostly KOF) Chatroom

[Laban]

Hey if anyone here uses IRC, you can come chat/idle/matchmake in #SNKPlaymore on EFnet. Most people use mIRC. In the channel you’ll find players of all skill levels to talk strats or set up matches on GGPO/2DF. Come join!

If you don’t use IRC, here is how to join the channel with mIRC:

1. When you first use mIRC, a window will pop up and you can put your nickname, plus other stuff like real name/email, you can put whatever you want and click OK at the bottom (not ‘Connect’).

2. You’ll have a big empty chat box in front of you. Click on the line at the bottom to type, then type /server irc.easynews.com and press Enter. You can also use irc.efnet.org, which will get you a random EFnet server, but I find a lot of them are not reliable, but the easynews one is good so I recommend that one.

3. After you’re connected to EFnet, there will be a favorites box that pops up. You can just close it for now, and check the box to have it not pop up again. In the same chat box as before, type /join #snkplaymore. You should now be in the channel.

4. (optional) If you want to join the channel automatically after connecting to EFnet, bring up the favorites menu again (it’s the little heart icon at the top, by default it’s the 3rd one on the newest mIRC). Click Add, type the channel name in the top box (include the #), then at the bottom under Networks click add, then find EFnet on that list and click OK. If you want the channel to be automatically joined, just check the Join on ‘connect’ check box and you will join automatically when you connect to EFnet.

If you don’t want to use mIRC (which I recommend, because it takes up very little resources and is less annoying than always having your web browser open), you can use Mibbit, which is a web-based IRC client. To join with Mibbit, just go to http://www.mibbit.com/chat/. Next to ‘IRC:’, select ‘EFNET [webirc]’ in the drop-down menu. Type your nick next to ‘Nick:’ and ‘#snkplaymore’ next to ‘Channel:’ and click ‘Go’.

We’re still alive and active! SRK Members such as Sparkster, Feez, Phoenixnl, Anakron, Dandy_J (occasionally), and myself actively use this channel for KOF discussion, General discussion, doing nothing (idling), and match making (poor Emil can’t get games though.) Mainly we do discussion and general discussion, so it’s just a lax/lounge-like room for those who are interested in the KOF series and KOF XIII. For those willing to learn KOF overall, we’re willing to teach new players to get better.

Just note though, we’re not going to baby people and we’re going to be typically blunt and real with you, but that’s so you can accept certain circumstances and become better as a player. I’m not saying we’re going to be dicks, but don’t expect us to do and think everything for you. We work together.

Otherwise, we just idle then talk about inane things now and then and Emil just keeps asking for people to play him in KOF while people ignore him. So feel free to join in and take it easy~

One more thing… If anyone needs to contact me live/real-time, hit me up on IRC and either say my name in the chat or PM me. It’ll highlight my whole IRC window, flash the icon in the toolbar, etc. and alert me when things are going down.

So if you have anything you wish to discuss with me, that’s the best course of action to do so.
