Back when Nikolce facepalmed at the incompetence of the Shredder and his two punk-rock minions, Beebop and Rock-Steady.

Sounds more like a really bad Heavy Metal Band than a group of bad guys.

Alright, time to wander out into the wild blue yonder and forage for some food.

Any suggestions on lunch stuff?

If He cannot make it work, you Americans could form random teams before friday, challenge everyone of the other teams using the trivia quiz-app 'QuizClash' on friday and discuss the results here.

Don't know how international the American version is so it might exclude people from elsewhere.

Well, Rooks was talking about retooling the chat function for real-time and having team randomization. A twelve or twenty-four hour open/close to include time-zones would be ideal.

I feel like all this would be bogging Rooks down...Possibly? He said two weeks could be doable. We can try it in thread form, so it wouldn't be something to add to his list.

Input from everyone with interest is appreciated.

Between the preservatives, the massive sugar content, the dyes, the complex carbs, etc, those cereals all ended up being somehow worse for you than just eating a half dozen donuts.

God bless you, Fruity Pebbles.

And re: commercials. That always killed me when the Michael Bay Transformer movies started coming out, the cries of "selling out". Yo, guys, it started as a 22 minute toy commercial. I'm pretty sure no one's artistic values were compromised any further than they already were.

Well, the chat code is already vaguely real time in that it refreshes automatically, which is why I was going to use it as a base (and maybe improve it along the way).

The plan is basically:
- Clean up/genericize the chat code as necessary
- Make it instanceable
- Give instanced rooms the notion of a 'host'
- Add hooks for extra plugins to go on top of it (like a "trivia" control panel)

#1 and #2 are simple enough, just from what I know of the chat code as it is. #3 is just making the moderator options flexible and allow limited upscaling of privileges for the host. #4 is reasonably straightforward as well, since the things it would need to do are:

- Randomize teams (easy javascript piece)
- assign points
- display a scoreboard

None of those pieces is particularly arduous, but I have a fairly busy week this week, so the odds of getting it in next week's patch is probably low (though maybe the upgraded chat piece, who knows). But two weeks? That should be more than enough time, barring disaster.

I didn't want to undermine his efforts. Just meant it as slightly-worse alternative if he faces troubles programming it like he wants to and quits the project.

It doesn't have to be two weeks, I was just going with the time-table you gave in PMs. It's whatever. You're being generous with this in the first place.

Ravael and I were shaking it down to bare-bones bar trivia via PM, also. LOL!

EDIT: I just hope it doesn't get messy.
