Title: News: Public IRC Chat on the 3rd of May
Post by: BenWH on April 20, 2008, 06:01:30 AM
AME will be conducting its first public IRC chat, on the 3rd of May. You'll be able to ask your questions of AME, and hopefully we will also have some of the finalist authors of the 2007 NWN2 awards present, so you can also bug them!

Time: 4pm GMT
Date: Saturday 3rd May
The channel name will be AME (hosted on the nwnconnections IRC server - the same one as NWN2CR)

Please pre-share your questions for the session here or PM them to me.

Here's the connection info:
Server: irc.neverwinterconnections.com
Public Room: ame

use any IRC Client, join the server irc.neverwinterconnections.com

Steps to get into the IRC channel:
1) Download mIRC (or HydraIRC which I use)
2) Go to options, then connect, then server
3) click add, fill in Description and Group as AME, and server as irc.neverwinterconnections.com
4) Log onto server, then join channel ame_members

To log in from the general window, type /j ame

I've been trying to make time, but my time crafting skill isn't high enough. :)
I work for myself on Saturdays, and make almost a whole weeks pay in a few service calls. Gotta do it.

Ty: Actually, I think it's 9 am for you, when you factor in Daylight Savings Time. It'll be 12 noon for me here on the east coast. Check here:

I'll post a chat log tomorrow. It will require a bit of editing to make it read easily - we did wander about at times!

Indeed.  I thought that was a great turnout!  A real success, IMO.  We did drift a little, but all in all, was a great chat.  I really didn't expect to have so many there.

Sorry that for my lack of input as I haven't got much knowledge about NWN2. It is really great to see the nominees discussing about modding and story creation, though.

I missed it, was an hour late! Stayed on-line for an hour, thinking you were all being late, understanding in the end I was the one who was in fact late. My apologies for that. 5 PM was too early, and I always thought it was 6.

Well, looking forward to a continuation of the public IRC chat.
