Universal Turing Machine

Universal Turing Machine is a room named after a Turing machine "that can simulate an arbitrary Turing machine on arbitrary input". Yeah, we don't know what that means either. A regular, non-universal Turing machine, on the other hand, is "a theoretical device that manipulates symbols contained on a strip of tape". Yes, we're just as confused as you are. Oh, and that weird man on the right, is Alan Turing. The inventor of the Turing machine (he did not actually look like that, with magnetic tape going through his head).

Expected behaviour in UTM
We do know of these set of rules: Kongregate conduct, but our Turing machine is still processing the content so we have not made up a mind about it yet. So for now; be nice.

Internets
If you hang around the UTM enough, you will probably hear the phrase "+10 internets to you". Internets are the unofficial currency of the UTM. They are usually given to chatters by other chatters for saying something witty. Coined by DBscotsdragon.

Criteria for "Regular" Status

 * 1) Chatting regularly 
 * 2) Friends with other Regulars. 
 * 3) Is reasonably active.

Regulars of UTM
One would think the regulars are a bunch of computer science geeks, but we're just regular geeks. And just a fair warning, many a Troll has met their doom at the hands of certain UTM regulars.

klaa2
One of the 'older' regulars, klaa2 spends most of his time on kong during slow days at work. He has developed what some people call a 'life' lately though, and is not on as much as the other regulars. Is often both annoyed and amused by the idiosyncrasies of trolls and humanity in general. Is frustrated by those who promote spiritualism, aliens, and evolution.

LeonGoldMage
LeonGoldMage is a quite active regular of UTM. Enjoys pointing out peoples flawed logic.

UberSephy
What can I say about me...? I'm uber. Pure and simple. ;D "Without war, there can be no peace. Without peace, there can be no war. So I say we just all mildly dislike each other." ~ UberSephy

Matsteo
Total grammar nazi, watch your spelling...or don't, he'll just correct every word you misspell. Hates homework, but still does it. Loves to dance, believe it or not. Matsteo will tango all over you if you keep on trollin'!

DBscotsdragon
Very active Scottish regular. ♥Engaged to Kat♥ PorcelainKitty. Spelling/Grammar Nazi. DBscotsdragon has never left UTM since his 1st day on Kong. DB is considered by some to be the backbone of the chat. The chat always seems to lose a lot of awesome whenever he leaves. Matsteo and Donteatglue have unofficially nominated him for mod-ship.

Kayos94
Kayos94 is an active Canadian regular. He's somewhat of a Grammar Nazi and seems to "kill chat" a lot. Has never left UTM, besides being logged into other chat rooms automatically when in New Brunswick for a week. He likes cats and loves to rant. He's VERY paranoid.

ElloMello
ElloMello is formerly known as Ramon1000100100, due to the hacking of his old account (which he suspects was done by one of the many idiots/trolls he has disagreements with on Kongregate).

donteatglue1
donteatglue1 is the sexually-repressed, bi-curious, virgin of UTM. Former "wife" of Matsteo. Is a girl, despite popular belief. Likes animals and soft things. She gets very pissed off when people refer to her as "he". Heads will roll if that should happen.

Jiggminwoohoo
Jiggminwoohoo is a young fan of The Beatles. Easy prey for Grammar-Nazis.

mesamunefire
One of the older (age-wise) regulars. mesamunefire is happily married & the resident "Computer Guy" of UTM.

Moderators of UTM
Here to serve and protect. And compute. Better than you.

Nordavind
UTM's newest and most active Mod yet! Not much is known about Nord, but we do know that he hates trolls and those who feed them. Nord was until recently the owner of The Warehouse, but his viking ancestry made him leave for new adventures.

Oceanix
The Mod without a profile. Not really, he just doesn't like you enough. Oceanix has been around longer than the other mods, but isn't in UTM often. Recently he's had parental problems with Kongregate, much to the chagrin of the other regulars.

Toa_of_Pi
Toa is the "AFK Mod", and when he's not afk he's usually leveling up his Savage in Sacred Seasons. Gratz on banhammer!

I want to learn more about Turing machines!
These links to the domain of questionable knowledge might help you on the way. Warning: heavy stuff!
