Just now Bhaskar S. Manda made 15 LEDs in my apartment flash with this:

That might have been the night CrackMonkey and emad were nuking my
island in order to get a foothold from which they could conquer me in
a wild game of freeciv (`apt-get install freeciv freeciv-gtk`).  Seems
I had splendid shore defenses but my ground troops were lacking.

The channel is rarely about UFO.  Sometimes it's about free software.
Mostly it's a hangout for Tastytronic Industries board of directors.
