IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

 In order to use the web based interface (CGI::IRC) to connect tot he IRC server you must agree to the rules listed below. These are commonsense rules that are needed in order to have an open atmosphere for fun and discussion.

You can download a copy of mIRC already setup to connect to the Winbolo chat network by clicking  Download mIRC  This is the preferred method for connecting to the chat network and I strongly encourage it's use.

 If you still wish to use the web based  chat client to connect you can find a link to it at the bottom of the page below the rules. Failure to follow the following widely accepted and understood rules in passworded games will result in either your banning from the IRC channels, the tracker, the  web page, or from the individual game servers. Consider yourself warned.

• Flooding, by repeating the same line over and over, or pasting a bunch of lines to purposely cause a disruption (in example: pasting 20+ lines of text for reference when it doesn't interrupt a conversation is fine, but pasting 15 lines of text when other people are having a conversation not related to the text is NOT fine.) Operators are given some discretion to administer warnings, kicks & bans for 'gray area' flooding activity.
• Ruining games started on a bot connected to .us, which consists of the following:
1. 1) If you did not start the game (cause it be created by the server), then wait until teams are organized and everyone is ready before actually playing. Please be Patient. (Password-ed games only)
2. If someone asks you to leave (and you did not create the map), then leave without a fuss. Many times people organize games with set players, and then start a map to play that game. The person who started the map via the gamebot on IRC gets the final decision in how big the game is and who has to leave or can stay. (Password-ed games only)
3. NO HACKS ALLOWED (any game type)
4. Do not kill (shut down) a game in which other people are still playing. (Any game type)

 

• Rules concerning IRC commands and the game bots:
1. Do not start an excessive amount of maps in which you do not intend to play.
2. Do not repeatedly trigger a bots trademark response (Scripts such as, nycbot’s bah or renbot’s idiot script). (more then 3 times in 30 seconds is too much)
• Using a script that causes excessive repeating of stuff. The "Bah" for sheepbot is reasonable, the "gg" script isn't.
• Nick change flood. Excessive nick changes to purposefully flood the channel. (Nick changing though, even if a lot and it doesn't flood the channel is ok)
• Ban Walking

I agree to the rules outlined above
