/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.
