Scobowl

#scobowl is an IRC channel on slashnet home to a trivia bot developed by Alejandro Lopez-Lago. Players usually compete on two teams in the room while the bot reads tossups from various tournament sets.

Channel Regulars

• Mike Bentley (ikillkenny)
• Steve Feldman (Feldman)
• Alejandro Lopez-Lago (rapidflash)

Limitations

Currently, the answers must be spelled correctly to be counted by the Trivia Bot. However, answers deemed incorrect due to spelling can be manually corrected by channel ops or the person who started the game.

While support was added for bonuses, currently only one set of bonuses exists and is hardly ever played.

There is no system in place to avoid showing repeats of questions to players. Thus, some players have memorized the leadins to certain clues they have heard several times before.

Powers are not supported by the Trivia Bot.
