Auditorium Rows

A master room holds the event staff. Everybody else who joins is put into a small sub-room: #event.1 until it has the limit, then #event.2, and so on. What the staff say in the master appears in every sub-room, and the staff appear to be in each one, so thousands of people can attend while each room stays small enough to talk in.

/mode #event +l 30
/prop #event MASTER
/prop #event MAX 40
/prop #event MIN 10
/prop #event MASTER 0
/mjoin #event

The master's modes (for example moderated) and topic are copied to every sub-room. Staff means people with ops or voice in the master. /mjoin #event joins through the rows, turning the room into a master with the network defaults if it is not one yet.

Good to know

• Staff stay in the master. Staff are IRC operators and people with ops, voice or access of VOP or better. Staff are also joined into every sub-room, so they appear to be everywhere. Somebody who joins before they have opered up or identified (a reconnecting client does this) is first put in a sub-room and brought back to the master as soon as they are staff.
• +l on the master is read as LIMIT and removed from the master, so a master never fills.
• Overflow (PROP OVERFLOW) is the simpler idea for one room: when it is full, newcomers go to a named room. Rows are for events of any size.
• Greetings come from the master only (see Room greeting).
• Ending: /prop #event MASTER 0 turns it off; the sub-rooms stay as ordinary rooms.
