Sin burn

I will be frank. (sorry Frank)

But these forums are getting less and less activity. GE forums are dead. The clan counsil forums are dead

Most of the Sins community is experiencing Death by Sin Burn.
Sin Burn is that which is experienced when someone tries to go onto IRC at some random time hoping to get a game. Normally this is logical, most games are played this way. Unfortintily, as we are now expereincing, this does not work

Fortunitly, The story of Sin Burn is not the same everywhere. The same forces that almost Killed RG, saved it from sin burn, and RG is now growing fast. I know that RG is not alone, thier are still a few active clans out thier.

Recently I have been reaserching ways to get around Sin burn, and i now have it. Find a group that plays at the same time as you, and play a game one hour at a time. This is nothing new, just plan your games ahead of time. If you do this, then sin becomes fun agian!! NO JOKE!!

In two hours of this i have had more fun, and learned more, than I ever had just trying to get a random game.

This is the solution to sin burn. Spread the word.

Just to halt the misinformation

you cant host a game from IRC. You just tell others on IRC to meet up in ICO and join the game there.

um...lets halt the miss info again.

I screwed up. I MEANT ICO server, not IRC server. they get me confused.

still, my point stands. planed games are the best way to go.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) has been around since at least 1994, which is when I started using it. It's still the best medium that I know of for online group chat. If you use Firefox you could get the Chatzilla plugin or find another free IRC program, such as mIRC. Here's an mIRC tutorial:

There are hundreds of thousands of IRC chat channels for all sorts of interests out there.
