>xylbot< help basics
-XylBot- First of all, type "!xmafia rules" to see the channel rules. Violating them is cheating.
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- To start a game, type "!xmafia start" in the channel. If you prefer, you can start a specific setup
-XylBot- such as 'straight' or 'mild' by using "!xmafia start [setup]". To get a list of setups, use
-XylBot- "!xmafia special". Beginners should stick to the first few setups on the list.
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- Once a game has been started, join it by typing "!xmafia in". You have to do this even if you're
-XylBot- the person who started the game. Signups end automatically after a short time. If all interested
-XylBot- players have signed up before the timer expires, you can start the game immediately with
-XylBot- "!xmafia go".
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- To submit a night or day action to the bot, PM "/msg XylBot [action] [target]" to the mod. For example,
-XylBot- to inspect Dave, PM "/msg XylBot inspect Dave" to the mod.
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- To vote, type "!vote [player]". To clear your vote, type "!unvote". You don't need to unvote before
-XylBot- revoting. For more details, PM "/msg XylBot help vote" to the mod.
>xylbot< help rules
-XylBot- In order for everyone to enjoy the game, please follow these rules during play. Violators may be
-XylBot- modkilled and/or banned.
-XylBot- 1. No private messages to other players unless you are members of the same scum team or mason group.
-XylBot- 2. When you're dead, shut up. Don't say anything relevant to the game, not even "bah, go town".
-XylBot- 3. No quoting your role PM or any action results from the bot. You can paraphrase them if you want.
-XylBot- 4. No impersonating a missing player by /nick unless you are replacing into the game.
-XylBot- 5. Play to win. Deliberately losing ruins the game for the other players, so don't do it. For the same
-XylBot- reason, don't bring in vendettas from outside the current game.
-XylBot- 6. Don't join games you can't complete. If you must leave, say so rather than just vanishing.
-XylBot- 7. Don't be an asshole. I'll let you know when you are being one. I won't tell you twice.
>xylbot< help actions
-XylBot- To submit a night or day action to the bot, PM "/msg XylBot [action] [target]" to the mod. For example,
-XylBot- to inspect Dave, PM "/msg XylBot inspect Dave" to the mod. The bot will confirm your action with a
-XylBot- message. If you don't recieve any response, check to see if you mistyped "XylBot" or the action.
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- The actions you can use are listed in your role PM, after "Abilities:" or "Group abilities:". If you
-XylBot- have more than one action listed, you can only use one each night. When you have a night action you
-XylBot- don't want to use, PM "/msg XylBot none" to the mod so that the bot knows not to wait for you. If you're
-XylBot- mafia, only one member of the mafia can use the mafiakill action, so discuss who will make the kill
-XylBot- with your teammates.
-XylBot- -
-XylBot- Actions that start with "(day)" are day actions; leave off the "(day)" when you submit them. Actions
-XylBot- that start with "(x)" can be used during either day or night. A few roles have actions marked "(auto)",
-XylBot- which means you will use them automatically every night. They don't count as your action for the night.
>xylbot< help vote
-XylBot- All votes must be entered in the format of
!vote [player]
to be counted. You don't need to
!unvote
-XylBot- before re-voting. Lynch happens immediately as soon as any player reaches the required votes to lynch.
-XylBot- You can also vote to end the day without lynching with "!vote no lynch". No lynch happens when enough
-XylBot- players are voting no lynch so that the remaining players don't have the votes to carry out a lynch.
-XylBot- If you have multiple votes, list all of them in the same line. You can vote for the same player multiple
-XylBot- times or for several different players. You can see the current votes at any time by typing
-XylBot- "!xmafia votes".
>xylbot< help setups or roles
-XylBot- At any time during the game you can request a sample setup by typing "!xmafia testsetup Wacky 13" in
-XylBot- the thread. Or you can PM the mod to request it privately. This can be done as many times as you like.
-XylBot- If you want to know more about what a particular role does type "!xmafia help [role]" in the thread or
-XylBot- you can ask the mod privately.
>xylbot< help deadlines
-XylBot- Deadlines are set at two weeks after the post that announces the start of the day. Night deadlines are
-XylBot- 72 hours after the post that announces the start of night. Night may end sooner if everyone has submitted
-XylBot- an action or no action to the mod. To submit a night action PM "/msg XylBot [action] [target]" to the mod.
-XylBot- To submit no action PM "/msg XylBot noaction" to the mod.
