GameServ is a service on the IRC network that manages and hosts games within channels. It provides a variety of games and interactive features that channel operators can use to engage users. GameServ helps create a fun, interactive environment by offering games like trivia, word puzzles, and other entertainment options directly in the channel.

GameServ

To use GameServ, you must ensure that the GUARD setting is enabled in your channel, or the FANTASY command is set to ON. Enabling Fantasy allows users to interact with GameServ commands like `!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 using a services bot.

Enabling Fantasy

To enable Fantasy, use the following command:

/msg ChanServ SET #channel FANTASY ON

Example:

/msg ChanServ SET #chatspike FANTASY ON

Enabling Guard (Optional)

Alternatively, if you prefer to control access more strictly, use the GUARD command instead:

/msg ChanServ SET #channel GUARD ON

Assigning a Bot and Setting GameServ

To enable GameServ, either assign a bot to the channel or ensure that GameServ is set with the proper privileges:

  • To assign a bot, use:
/msg ChanServ ASSIGN #channel chanbot
  • To set GameServ, use:
/msg ChanServ SET #channel GAMESERV VOICE

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

  • `!RPS` to play Rock Paper Scissors
  • `!EIGHTBALL` to ask the Magic 8-Ball a funny 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?
