- Idle RPG
"Idle RPG", or just IRPG, is the general appellation of a class of satirical
computer role-playing game s (RPG) made forInternet Relay Chat (IRC).The goal of an IRPG is to gain levels by remaining
idle in the channel where the game takes place. Most IRC-related actions such as changing nicknames, speaking, departing the channel, etc. incur a "penalty", which generally manifests as an increase of the "time to level" (TTL). [ [http://www.idlerpg.net/#penalties #G7 Idle RPG penalties] ]In addition to remaining idle, players typically also gain levels from finding items, battling other players, and so on; however, these actions are performed by a bot automatically for the player. Some IRPGs allow for limited interaction by the players; the
GameSurge variant known as GSIRPG, for example, allows players to issue challenges to other players in an attempt to increase the leveling speed.Notes
