Game

initgame

An IRC version of the trivia game "Botticelli", in which one user changes his {nick} to the initials of a famous person or other named entity, and the others on the channel ask yes or no questions, with the one to guess the person getting to be "it" next. As a courtesy, the one picking the initials starts by providing a 4-letter hint of the form sex, nationality, life-status, reality-status. For example, MAAR means "Male, American, Alive, Real" (as opposed to "fictional"). Initgame can be surprisingly addictive. See also {hing}.

[1996 update: a recognizable version of the initgame has become a staple of some radio, talk shows in the U.S. We had it first! -- ESR]
