Farwest Trivia -------------- Farwest Trivia is similar to the Teleconference. It allows you to talk with the other users in the game, whisper, use actions, and forget those pesky users. All this while answering questions. You obtain points in the game by answer questions correctly. While in Trivia you can get a help screen by typing HELP or ?. This will give you a list of the commands you can use. Teleconference Style Commands ACTION ON/OFF/LIST - Turn your ability to use actions on or off. EDIT - Edit your Trivia preferences. FORGET/REMEMBER - "Forget" an annoying user, or "remember" him/her. IGNORE/NOTICE - Ignore or notice just another user's actions. SCAN - Shows where everyone in Trivia is. / - Sends a private message only to user . > - Directs a message to user . X - Exit the Farwest Trivia game. :( Trivia Commands BEST or B.............

If what you typed exactly matches the answer to the question then you win, and are awarded one point. Action Words If you type ACTION at anytime you will get a list of the Action Words available to you. There are three basic types of actions. Solitary actions that are not directed towards anyone. Actions that you use on one other person, and group actions that you use on everyone. Use a solitary action by just typing the action word. Example: :laugh You are laughing your fool head off! You can use actions on other users by typing the the action word and then the userid of the person to use the action on. You can also initiate secret actions by appending the word "secretly" at the end. Example: :laugh Jane Doe You are laughing at Jane Doe. :laugh John Doe secretly You are laughing at John Doe. (secretly) :grin Joh s You are grinning at John Doe. (secretly) Note that you do not have to type the whole userid. You only have to type the portion so that the user in the game can be uniquely identified. (If there are two Johns in Trivia then Joh does not uniquely identify one of those users) Also not that the word secretly can be shortened to a simple "s". You can use group actions just by typing "all" behind the action word. Example: :laugh all You are laughing at everyone. Note that there is no guarantee that every action has all three types of responses.
