Bloop Chat
Bloop Chat and Trivia is back! For those of you who has been here for years know we used to have Bloop Chat and we enjoyed a trivia game inside. Mark has brought this feature back to life!
The new bloop chat is very easy to use! Here's how...
On the main page towards the right under your diary stats box is the chatroom box:
The chat room comes up and you're ready to converse.
There are three commands to know:
!changecol - changes the color of your diary name if you don't like the color assigned when entering the chat room. Gone are the days when we had to go in and out until we got the color we wanted.
After typing !changecol and pressing send you will see a message that your color was changed and the word "example" shows you the color it changed to. You can enter this command as many times as you want until you get the color you like.
!chatters - shows you a list of all connected members inside the chat
Now you see the list of who is inside the chat:
To leave the chat, press the back button to go back to the main page or simply close your browser/tab if you don't want to return to Bloop.
Trivia
The third command is for trivia. Anyone can start trivia at any time. As of right now, no points are rewarded for trivia but eventually we will add them later. If no one knows the answer, the trivia bot will give you a hint. If no one gets the right answer, the trivia bot announces it and moves on to the next question.
To start trivia type !triviastart
Once you initiate trivia, the Trivia Bot lets you know to get ready!
Some questions are just questions, some give you options to choose from (like the one in the below image) and some are true or false. If no one responds or responds with the wrong answer, the Trivia Bot gives you a second chance by giving you a hint.
If no one has the right answer after the hint, it will tell you the correct answer.
