Auto Fill-in Hints?
To date, only three trivia rooms appear to have 'Auto Fill-in Hints' - a format where hints are generated by players :
PROS:
It speeds up the game!
If you don't like waiting an eternity for the Bot to spit out its standardized hints - which is especially annoying if you know, say, the last name of a person but not the first - then you will enjoy being able to guess to your heart's content!
CONS:
- #trivia at EFnet
- #TeamTrivia at DALnet
- #londontrivia at DALnet

CONS:
Once you have played a trivia game with auto-fill-in hints you will not want to play trivia in any other format. As there are only three trivia rooms to date with this particular format, you do not have much of a choice to go elsewhere to play if you need to.
