| nickfork-#ubuntu-offtopic | a silly little game for offtopic channels ONLY. The way it works is you pick out a random nick from the /names list (works best if they're idle), have a bunch of people switch to something similar (scrambles, reverse, 1337speak), and see how long it takes for the real person to catch on. Have fun! | Added by tonyyarusso Date: 2008-02-20 09:55:16 Last edited by rww Date: 2011-04-06 06:16:22 Requested 14 times |
