GameServ is a service on the IRC network that manages and hosts a variety of games within channels. It provides interactive entertainment options, such as games and fun commands, that channel operators can use to engage users. GameServ helps create a lively, interactive atmosphere by offering games like Rock Paper Scissors (RPS), name generators (NAMEGEN), and other fun activities directly within the channel.

GameServ

To use GameServ, you must enable the GUARD setting in your channel or set the FANTASY command to ON. Enabling Fantasy allows users to interact with GameServ through commands such as `!RPS` (Rock Paper Scissors) or `!EIGHTBALL` (Magic 8-Ball). The SET GUARD command can also be used to have ChanServ join your channel instead of relying on a services bot.

Enabling Fantasy

To enable Fantasy mode, use the following command:

/msg ChanServ SET #channel FANTASY ON

Example:

/msg ChanServ SET #chatspike FANTASY ON

Enabling Guard (Optional)

If you prefer to have ChanServ join, you can use the GUARD setting instead of Fantasy:

/msg ChanServ SET #channel GUARD ON

Assigning a Bot and Setting GameServ

To enable GameServ, either assign a bot to the channel or set the appropriate GameServ privileges:

To assign a bot, use:

/msg ChanServ ASSIGN #channel HybridIRC

To set GameServ, use:

/msg ChanServ SET #channel GAMESERV VOICE

Once Fantasy or Guard is enabled and GameServ is configured, users can interact with GameServ by typing commands such as:

`!RPS` to play Rock Paper Scissors
`!EIGHTBALL` to ask the Magic 8-Ball a fun question, like:

 * `!EIGHTBALL Should I eat pizza for dinner tonight?`
 * `!EIGHTBALL Will I ever get a good night's sleep?`
 * `!EIGHTBALL Is my cat secretly plotting against me?`
 * `!EIGHTBALL Will I ever finish this project on time?`
