| + | == Regional IRC Chatroom == | ||
| + | Janna (aka karalianne), ML of [http://nanowrimo.org/regions/canada-saskatchewan-saskatoon Canada :: Saskatchewan :: Saskatoon], provides IRC-based chat rooms for all of the NaNoWriMo regions. Historically, Naperville has used [http://naperwrimo.org/jabber.php an XMPP (Jabber) based chat room] (as provided by Dreamhost); unfortunately, there do not appear to be any good jabber clients for Chromebooks (and the jabber server provided by Dreamhost is very old and does not support http-binding, so we can't utilize modern javascript clients like converse.js or ajaxber). Because of this, as of 2014-10-19, we are deprecating the jabber chatroom and are instead moving to the Chat NaNo service provided by Janna. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === How to register === | ||
| + | If you used the chat rooms last year you should go to [http://chatnano.net/IrcUsers/login the login page]. New users need to register first. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To register, go to this URL: http://chatnano.net/IrcUsers/register_wrimo | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Fill in Nick (same as here only with no spaces) | ||
| + | * Choose region from drop-down menu | ||
| + | * ''E-mail address'' | ||
| + | * ''Password'' | ||
| + | * Click '''Submit''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Logging in via your web browser === | ||
| + | Once you are registered you ALWAYS login at http://chatnano.net/IrcUsers/login | ||
| + | |||
| + | Put in the Nick and password you registered with. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Logging in via a dedicated client === | ||
| + | This is probably the better path to take--dedicated clients usually perform better than web clients and have more features. [http://pidgin.im pidgin] is a very good multi-platform client. [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/byrd-irc-client/endimfdcgfnlmoankhocnkhgohmoecoi?hl=en Byrd IRC client for Google Chrome] might work well for Chromebooks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you prefer a client to [https://www.mibbit.com/ Mibbit], you need to point your client at <big>'''irc.kydance.net, port 6667'''</big>, and login using the name you registered at the first URL given. If you are logging in using a client, you will need to enter your password when you do so. The command for this is /ns identify PASSWORD where you change PASSWORD to your actual password that you registered with. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With pidgin, it is possible to [https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#HowdoIsendamessagetoauserorbotonlogin automate this step]: | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Enable your IRC account. | ||
| + | # Add NickServ to your IRC buddy list | ||
| + | # Right-click the new buddy (NickServ) and click "Add Buddy Pounce" to create a new pounce | ||
| + | # Make sure "Signs on" is the only checked box in the "Pounce When Buddy..." section | ||
| + | # Make sure "Send a message" is checked under "Action" | ||
| + | # Enter the message, such as: | ||
| + | |||
| + | identify mypassword | ||
| + | |||
| + | # Make sure "Recurring" is checked beneath "Options" or the pounce will work only once | ||
| + | # Click Save to save the pounce. | ||
| + | |||
| + | IMPORTANT: '''Note that you do not include '/msg nickname' as part of the message in the pounce.''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | == If you need help == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Any problems with the process should be directed to chatnano.registrar@gmail.com. Please include Nick, password, region, and chat room name in the e-mail. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you don't want to be distracted during word wars, you might like to hang out in the bottom three rooms in this list. They're all about the writing! | ||

| + | To join a room, log into the chat and then type /join #CHANNEL where you change CHANNEL to the name of the room. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == wordwar bot == | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is a [https://github.com/utoxin/TimTheWordWarBot/wiki wordwar bot] called ''Timmy''. Here are the wordwar commands: | ||
| + | Since it has been requested: is all of Timmy's commands. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * !startwar <duration> [<start delay> [<war name>]] | ||
| + | ** Starts a war with the given duration, after start delay. | ||
| + | ** Duration and Start Delay are in minutes | ||
| + | ** War Name is what to call the war. Defaults to <YourName>’s War | ||
