Under some circumstances, the game has shown a tendency to drop connections; a player will see a message saying that the VMK has crashed and asking the player to log on again. This seems to especially be triggered by being in a room with a lot of animation going on, such as dancing avatars and flickering candles, and seems to happen even more so when there are an especially large number of people in the game. The limit of no more than fifteen people being in a room at once, as well as the aforementioned problem with players being disc ...

If a player types a word not on the list, it flashes in red to warn him that it will not be accepted. If it is still entered, the word appears to other players as "###". Some of the more notable words missing from the allowed list are all numbers, names of states, and names of major cities, presumably to protect players by preventing them from divulging their ages or locations.

There are fifty Hidden Mickeys in the game, appearing as mouse-eared logos embossed onto scenery in rooms.

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue developed from the long running radio sketch show I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again. The writers of this show — John Cleese, Jo Kendall, David Hatch, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor and especially Graeme Garden — found that writing a radio series was a lot of work for little reward, and so happened upon the idea of an unscripted show. It was decided that this would take the form of a parody panel game with Garden, Brooke-Taylor, Oddie and Kendall as the panelists, with occasional appearances from other ...

The show roughly follows a standard panel game format: the chairman introduces the show by providing a little background material on the area in which the show is being recorded which is interspersed with jokes based upon it. For example: "Nottingham is a fine city with a fascinating history. It's well documented in official records that the city's original name was 'Snottingham', or 'Home of Snots', but when the Normans came, they couldn't pronounce the letter 'S', so decreed the town be called 'Nottingham' or the 'Home of Notts'.

He reads the script introducing the programme and segments in an utterly deadpan manner. He claims the secret is just to read what is in front of him without understanding why it is funny. He adopts the grumpy persona of someone who would really rather be somewhere else, which he attributes to worrying that, surrounded by f ...

A number of card games similar to whist can be traced all the way back to the early 16th century. They were all trick-taking games with a variety of minor variations. Whist became the dominant form, and enjoyed a loyal following for centuries. The first game known as bridge was created by two innovations. The trump suit was chosen by the dealer, or he could pass the choice to his partner; and the dealer then played both his own and his partner's hand, with the latter fully exposed. (According to the Oxford English Dictionary, t ...

There is some controversy about the derivation of the phrase. It is popularly thought to come from deduced reckoning and is sometimes given in modern sources as ded reckoning. However, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the phrase dead reckoning dates from Elizabethan times (1605-1615).

With stellar observation, you are "live", working with the stars and the movement of the planet. With logs, compasses, ...
