initgame
<games> /in-it'gaym/ [IRC] An IRC version of the venerable trivia game
"20 questions", 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.
