Summary

• This command is used to start a new game, or continue the currently active game.
• Training games are quite customizable. Some of the basic parameters are as follows: *NOTE* Currently, some type of theme/list must be specified in order to use these options (i.e. you cannot do "^start -p" and expect to start a personal game)
  • -f: first-hit game
    • Questions answered correctly the first time they are asked will be removed from the game. Questions missed on the first try will resume the standard system of levels (See ^view for more information).
  • -p: personal game
    • If a person with an IRC nickname other than the game starter answers a question, the level will not change.
  • -g: guessing game, requires ^join
    • Each player in the game may guess the answer to any question a certain number of times before the game will move on to another question (See ^view for information on viewing/setting the number of guesses).
  • -n: no shuffle game
    • Will ask questions from the theme based on their order in the lists.
  • -c: cooperation game, requires ^join
    • Questions will remain in play until all players have answered correctly or the question times out. Everyone who has answered correctly receives a point for that question.
  • stage=#: stage game
    • Divide the game into # stages
  • multi=#: multiple answer game
