There are games for IRC. They're run by something called bots. Some are built into certain IRC servers, but most connect as clients just like any other IRC client. I don't see the relevance, though. How a game is going to help people communicate about Perl I just don't understand.

There's also a cultural disconnect on your part. The culture of Unix, the old-time Net folk, and most real programmers (as opposed to macro authors with widget placement tools) would seem to support teaching new people old methods until those methods are superseded by better methods. You're trying to hurry the demise of a stalwart method of communication in favor of one that forces old hands to acclimate to something with no clear advantages.

You're also trying to advocate a Windows-only method of communication, which is a bit narrow of a target for the Perl community. In case you haven't noticed, although some Perl programmers do prefer Windows many others only discuss Perl on Windows in terms of what works the same way as on Unix and what will in the next release.
