You don't need to register to get into chat at all.
Just connect to the gamesurge server, type
/join #scorehero
And BAM your there.
As for the email, make sure its not getting filtered out of your email, it might think of the email as spam. _________________

I get disconnected everytime I try to connect to gamesurge, reason is bad username, which doesn't make sense. Even when I change my username to the first part of my email address, it still gives me the same error. |

Also note that we don't take kindly to incoherent mumbling *NEW! CHOOSE YOUR OWN INSULT HERE!* around the channel. While I have no control over who stays and who goes, I do know when someone's going to get the boot.
Put it this way. If there's been even a slight debate on the forums about it, we already know, and don't care to discuss it in great length.
These topics include:
-Whether or not Hyper Speed is fair and should be allowed
-Whether or not Guitar Hero 3 is going to suck because Harmonix isn't developing it
-Whatever questions you have about custom songs that are already easily answered in the stickies in Homebrew
-Sweet Child O' Mine on medium
-How whale jizz ties into the origin of the universe (Don't....ask.)
-Or you can earn your degree!
Also, we don't take kindly to massive flooding of whatever scripts users may or may not have.
There's a few other things, but you should be able to pick up on the with half of a brain.
All that being said, I'm not sure Riz ever sleeps. He's uh...always on. Except for like 11 AM to 12 PM or some shit. He's just...always there. He and Matt run the channel, and while they're more lenient in some ways than they are on the forums, they won't take bullshit if you're going to act like a retard.
So maybe I'm just in a bad mood, or maybe it's getting increasingly annoying, but whatever.
BUT!
Here are some HELPFUL! tips on enjoying your time on #scorehero.
You'll notice two things happening a lot depending on when you sign on to #scorehero that you can easily do yourself, but it's not blatantly obvious.
Here's an example conversation *NOTE: This conversation didn't explicitly take place, but I'm sure plenty like it have*
<Alakaiser> Balls
<Jed> ^
<Raften> TENTACLE PORN
<Alakaiser> *INTERNET MEME AND LINKS THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT*
* Riz_lurk growls.
<Alakaiser> Ok, I'm done.
<Jed> ^
<Raften> ^
You'll notice two things in that conversation.
1) When Riz growls, stop doing whatever you're doing in the channel. It's pissing him off. Don't piss him off. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
2) Holy shit, Kaiser! What's up with the purple text? Good question! Way to be observant!
Ok, here's the deal. Some of you who've played a lot of online games that involve a keyboard (Read: Pretty much every PC game), you'll know about things called "emotes". It's basically the equivalent of someone going like *dies* in the middle of a post or something. Except it's cooler...because it's a different color. Yeah.
A lot of people ask how to do this. It's ok that you don't know if you're installing mIRC for the first time. Honest question, and it's not like mIRC slaps you over the head with a manual when you first run it. Here's how you do it.
So if I were to type...
Code: | /me is demonstrating how to use the /me command |
It would come out...
* Alakaiser is demonstrating how to use the /me command
Yay!
NEXT!
You'll notice that a lot of people may not have exactly their standard username in IRC all of the time. Different examples you'll see from me would be like....
Alakaiser
Alakaiser|away
Alakaiser|afk
Alakaiser|WAFFLES
Alakaiser|sleep
...and so forth.
You can easily switch between these names. The command for this nifty feature is easy. You use...
Code: | /nick yournicknamehere |
So if I were to type...
Code: | /nick Alakaiser|WAFFLES |
Yep, you guessed it, my new IRC name would show up as Alakaiser|WAFFLES. w00t!
One extra trick for this lesson....
Sometimes you'll be compelled to try to use things like spaces in your nicknames. You can't. There's a few different ways of separating words and such, and I'm sure you've at least seen some of them. The easiest ones to work with are the underscore ( _ ), the vertical line thingy that I can't remember the name of right now ( | ), or the little thing that's kind of like an apostrophe, but is underneath the tilde. ( ` ). You might want to try the apostrophe, but I actually found out the hard way not too long ago that that is off limits as well.
Alrighty, that's good. One last thing that EVERYONE using mIRC for the first time needs to know. When you open mIRC, it will bitch at you about a 30 day evaluation period. Here's the catch.
You never, ever, ever, EVER need to register your copy of mIRC to continue using it after the 30 day period. Just wait a few seconds and the continue option will become active.
I've been using mIRC on this computer for probably 3 years now....Riz has been using mIRC probably since Reagen was president. So yeah. Don't worry about it.
Well, that's all for this lesson in using #scorehero TO THE MAX.
Now don't say I never did anything helpful. :P
EDIT: ROCK ON! A FOOTNOTE!
Anywhoooooooooo.
Please note that /nick and /me abuse are good ways to get Riz pissed off. It might be fun for a few minutes to squat on other people's nicks, but it'll piss Riz off. Chances are, you and I will do it anyway, but try not to get carried away, lest Riz beats you over the head with a sharp stick.
Also, you may have heard CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, but if you never turn it off for the entire duration of your time in #scorehero, expect that duration to be...short, as you will be banned very quickly.
And that's all for now. _________________

Well, I have two things to say about that...
1/ I rarely growl. If I do growl, bad stuff is probably already likely to happen shortly. I do glare, regularly (unfortunately), however. Same diff.
2/ My copy of mIRC actually dates to the early second Clintonian era ('97), however, it's also been registered since then, so I don't have to stare at Khaled's ugly mug every time I start it up, which is... rarely, since I only shut down mIRC when I reboot, which under normal circumstances is once a month at windows update time. So... ya.
I will also add one other relatively important item. IRC is there for people to chat (not necessarily about GH or SH, even, specifically), and to have fun. It is not there to entertain you, specifically. If you happen to drop in, and things are quiet, as they are from time to time, lurk, or, if you're not finding the experience to your liking, leave. Do NOT complain that you're bored (I mean, come on, you're on a computer, attached to the Internet... if you are bored, you are just not trying hard enough), and especially, don't complain that it is the lack of activity in the channel that is boring you. A variation on this is just spamming out random crap and when told to stop, whining that "no one else is saying anything anyway, so what's the harm?" These things will result in your immediate and permanent departure from the channel.
Oh, and a last thing... This is not AOL. This is not your IM client. Entering the channel and typing "a/s/l everyone!" will result in your leaving the channel promptly. Typing lines like "ths iz kool!" and other such demonstrations of "I'm too cool for literacy" will also result in your prompt removal... even more prompt that it would on the forums. It's a textual medium... learn how to communicate in understandable English, or skip it.

I can't help but feel that one part of that post was directed towards me...<_<
/me makes a mental note to cut that out from now on. _________________

Hey, this is cool, I managed to get on the chat with the Firefox IRC extension. Here's the link for those who don't want to install an additional program on their PC, like me. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 |

This is a bit delayed, as I've been on the IRC for about a week, but everyone, take the advice of this forum and JOIN NOW! I joined, and its awesome. Also, like Naka said, its rivalries are a good way to get scores up, and plus, funny things happen often n' stuff. It does get slow at times, but its worth it to be there when funny stuff happens. And finally, don't come if you are easily offended by bad language or sexual references. Otherwise, the Fay Orgies and other things will asplode your head. _________________

Drunk threads are the best threads. His drunk thread started a math revolution. _________________
