Player Command

See: channels gossip newbie

The chan command is the central command for all channel communication. Below are the various forms the command takes:

chan - list channels being listened to

chan gossip - find out whether the ‘gossip’ channel is being listened to

chan gossip /on - turn listening on for the ‘gossip’ channel

chan gossip /off - stop listening to ‘gossip’

chan gossip /list - find out who is listening to ‘gossip’

chan gossip /who - same as /list

chan gossip /last - show the last 20 messages on the channel

chan gossip <msg> - send <msg> to all listeners

chan gossip ;<feeling> - perform <feeling> over the channel (e.g. chan gossip ;grin)

chan gossip :<emote> - send <emote> to all listeners (e.g. chan gossip :wants a big sword!)

chan mine /new - create the “mine” channel

Of course, the ‘gossip’ may be replaced with any channel name you might want to use.

chan will create a channel, if necessary, when you first start to listen to it. There are (currently) no restrictions on the number or channels you may listen to or create. Once you listen to a channel, you can simply use its name for operating the channel.

Two player channels are standard: gossip and newbie

Some examples:

> chan

You are listening to: gossip, newbie, mychannel

> chan gossip /off

You are no longer listening to ‘gossip’.

> mychannel /list

Users listening to ‘mychannel’: Johndoe, Smurfhead, Tarzan

> mychannel hello!

[mychannel] Smurfhead: hello!

> mychannel :turns a bright shade of blue

[mychannel] Smurfhead turns a bright shade of blue.

> mychannel :laugh tarzan

[mychannel] You laugh at Tarzan.

>

> [mychannel] Tarzan bops you on the nose.
