ChanServ

2017-05-16T23:40:00Z

Ravager:

ChanServ allows you to register and control various aspects of channels. ChanServ can often prevent malicious users from "taking over" channels by limiting who is allowed channel operator privileges. Available commands are listed below.

For more information on a specific command, type <code>/msg ChanServ HELP command</code>

=== Register ===

The REGISTER command registers a channel in the database. Registering a channel protects the channel's name and allows the owner to use a variety of Services functions to manage it.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ REGISTER #channel description</code>
** #channel - the name of the channel you want to register. Be sure you take a look at [[ChanServ:Register|Channel Registration]] before using this command to make sure you can actually register one to begin with!
** description - a short description of the channel's purpose.

=== Set ===

The SET command allows you to change various ChanServ settings for the channel. By default, this command is always restricted to the channel founder.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ SET option #channel parameter(s)</code>
** option parameter(s) - the specific setting you want to change along with its parameters.
** #channel - the name of the channel you wish to change options for.

The available settings for option are as follows:
*** '''FOUNDER''' - change the channel's official founder. Give the new founder as the parameter to this option. This command is available to the current channel founder, unless SECUREFOUNDER is set to OFF.
*** '''SUCCESSOR''' - change the channel's successor. Give the new successor as the parameter to this option. This nickname will become the channel's new founder automatically, if the founder's nickname is dropped or it expires while the channel is still registered. The successor nickname must be registered already.
**** NOTE: If the person you set as a channel's successor already has too many channels registered, and the founder nick is dropped or otherwise expires, then the channel will also be dropped, instead of transferred to the successor.
*** '''AUTOOP''' - controls whether or not ChanServ will give users on the channel's access list the appropriate channel status modes (+v, +h, +o, etc). When set OFF, these modes will not be automatically set when the user joins.
*** '''CHANSTATS''' - toggles whether or not channel statistics for your channel will be kept. This is an ON/OFF toggle.
*** '''DESC''' - change the channel's description. Pass the new description in its entirety as the parameter for this option.
*** '''URL''' - associate a URL with the channel, which can be viewed with ChanServ's INFO command. Give the URL as the parameter for this option.
*** '''EMAIL''' - set an email address for the channel. Give the email address as the parameter with this option.
*** '''ENTRYMSG''' - defines an entry message shown to users who join the channel. This can be something like a notice to read the rules, a list of triggers for a channel with XDCC bots, or other things. The message you want to set is passed as the parameter with this option.
*** '''BANTYPE''' - change the user@host format that ChanServ uses to set bans on in a channel. This option takes a number between 0 and 3 as the parameter. See <code>/msg ChanServ help set bantype</code> to see the ban types you can set.
*** '''KEEPTOPIC''' - toggle whether or not ChanServ will maintain the channel's topic if the channel becomes empty. Use either ON or OFF as the parameter - when ON, ChanServ will maintain the channel's last known topic when the channel becomes empty.
*** '''KEEPMODES''' - toggle whether or not ChanServ will maintain the channel's channel modes if the channel becomes empty. Use either ON or OFF as the parameter - when ON, ChanServ will maintain the channel's currently set modes when the channel becomes empty.
*** '''PEACE''' - toggles the 'peace' mode of a channel. When 'peace' is set ON, a user cannot kick, ban, or remove the channel status of another user who has a level superior or equal to them via ChanServ commands. This is an ON/OFF toggle.
*** '''PRIVATE''' - toggles whether or not the channel will show up in ChanServ's LIST command. This is an ON/OFF toggle.
*** '''RESTRICTED''' - Toggles 'restricted' mode. When the RESTRICTED option is set ON, any user who is not on the channel's access list will be automatically kicked and banned. This is an ON/OFF toggle.
*** '''SECURE''' - Enables or disables ChanServ's security features for a channel. With this option set ON, access to the channel (including applicable ChanServ commands) will only be granted to registered users who have identified to NickServ and are on the channel's access list. This is an ON/OFF toggle.
*** '''SECUREOPS''' - Change whether users not on the channel's access list can be given ops (+o) or not. If set to ON, then ChanServ will not allow any user to be set +o unless they are on the access list with the proper access level.
*** '''SECUREFOUNDER''' - Change whether users who have owner level access to the channel can drop it, or change its founder and/or successor. If set to ON, then these functions will only be available to the channel's real founder and not those who are co-founder access (level 9999) on the channel
*** '''SIGNKICK''' - Change whether or not kicks done with ChanServ's KICK command are signed with the nickname of the user who issued the command. If set to ON, all kicks done with ChanServ's KICK command will have the issuing user's nickname in the kick reason. If set to LEVEL, then users who have an access level superior or equal to the channel's current SIGNKICK level will not have their kicks signed.

=== SOP/AOP/HOP/VOP commands ===

The various xOP commands manage user access levels. These commands can either be used as an alternative to (or as a complement to) the ACCESS command. More information about these commands can be found on the [[Channel Management]] page.

=== Access ===

The ACCESS command provides the means to grant/remove channel access for users.

==== Adding ====

The ACCESS ADD command adds someone to the channel's access list with a specific level.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ ACCESS #channel ADD nickname level</code>
** #channel - the channel whose access list you want to modify.
** nickname - the nickname of the user who you want to add. The nickname must already be registered.
** level - the desired access level for the user. By default, level 3 is voice (+v), level 4 is halfop (+h), level 5 is chanop (+o), level 10 is channel admin (+a), and level 9999 grants channel owner (+q). These pre-defined levels may be different for various channels.
*** NOTE 1: level must be LESS than your own current access level.
*** NOTE 2: If the given nickname is already on the access list, this command will change it to the level specified with the command, ONLY if the given nickname's current level is LESS than your own.

==== Removing ====

The ACCESS DEL command removes a user from the channel's access list entirely.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ ACCESS #channel DEL (nickname | entry-number | list)</code>
** #channel - the channel whose access list you want to modify.
** nickname | entry-number | list - the nickname of the user who you want to remove from the access list, the corresponding entry number for the user, or a list of access entries to remove by number.
*** NOTE: Again, you cannot alter another user's access level if yours is less than or equal to theirs.

==== Viewing ====

The ACCESS LIST command displays a list of users on the channel's access list with their level.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ ACCESS #channel LIST [mask | list]</code>
** #channel - the channel whose access list you want to view.
** [mask | list] - OPTIONAL: A wildcard mask to specify which entries to view, or a list of entry numbers to show. If none given, all entries will be shown.
*** NOTE: By default, you must be on the channel's access list to be able to use the ACCESS LIST command.

=== Levels ===

The LEVELS command allows channel founders to fine-tune the meanings of various access levels on the channel.

Full help on this command can be found by going to [[ChanServ:Levels|Levels]].

=== Autokick ===

The AKICK command manages the channel's autokick list; that is, the list of user@host masks to automatically kick and ban from the channel on sight.

Full help on this command can be found by going to [[ChanServ:Autokick|Autokick]].

=== Drop ===

The DROP command cancels the registration of a channel, deleting all settings related to it and removing it from the database.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ DROP #channel #channel</code>
** #channel - the name of the channel to drop. For security and sanity reasons, you must specify this TWICE.
*** NOTE: If the channel has SECUREFOUNDER set, then you must be the REAL channel founder to be able to use this command.

=== Ban ===

The BAN command bans a user from a channel. By default, this command is restricted to users with at least level 4 access on the channel.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ BAN #channel [+expiry] [nickname | mask] [reason]</code>
** #channel - The channel to ban the user from.
** [+expiry] - OPTIONAL: The duration of the ban. You can specify this in years/months/weeks/days/hours/minutes, e.g +4h will cause Services to remove the ban after 4 hours. If not given, it is permanent.
** [nickname | mask] - The nickname of the user to ban. Only channel founders can specify a hostmask ban.
** [reason] - OPTIONAL: The reason for the ban.

=== Unban ===

The UNBAN command removes any bans matching a user from the channel.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ UNBAN #channel [nickname]</code>
** #channel - OPTIONAL: the channel to remove the ban from. If not given, all bans affecting you in all channels you have access in are removed.
** [nickname] - the nickname to remove a ban or bans for. If not given, you will be unbanned.

=== Enforce ===

The ENFORCE command tells ChanServ to enforce various channel modes and channel settings on a channel.

* '''Syntax:''' <code>/msg ChanServ ENFORCE #channel thing</code>
** #channel - the channel which you want to apply the command to.
** thing - the specific setting you want to enforce. Valid values are as follows:
*** '''SECUREOPS''' - Enforce SECUREOPS setting, even if it is not enabled.
*** '''RESTRICTED''' - Enforce RESTRICTED setting, even if it is not enabled.
*** '''REGONLY''' - Kick all users who are NOT registered and identified with NickServ from the channel.
*** '''SSLONLY''' - Kick all users who are not connected on an SSL port from the channel.
*** '''BANS''' - Enforces bans on the channel by kicking users from the channel who match a currently set ban.
*** '''LIMIT''' - Enforces the limit set by channel mode +l by kicking users until the user count drops below the specified limit.

Channel management

2012-10-14T15:42:31Z

Ravager: Changed protection level for "Channel Management" (‎[edit=sysop] (indefinite) ‎[move=sysop] (indefinite)) [cascading]

== Types of Commands ==

* '''Fantasy commands''' are commands initiated with a period. "."
* Commands in this guide will be given in both the <code>/msg</code> format, and the fantasy command format.

Okay, so most things related to channel management are controlled via ChanServ, part of Anope IRC services, the system we use on Xertion.

Commands to ChanServ can be given in a number of ways:
* Messages: <code>/msg ChanServ [command] [variable]</code>
* Fantasy: <code>.[command] [variable]</code>

==Owner Mode and Protect Mode==
When ''Owner Mode'' is set, Services will set +qo ('''~''') on founders when they join their channel.
Users with the ('''~''') cannot be kicked by admins ('''&''') ops ('''@''') or halfops ('''%''')

When ''Protect Mode'' is set, Services will set +ao ('''&''') on admins when they join the channel.
Users with the ('''&''') cannot be kicked by ops ('''@''') or halfops ('''%''')

By default, Owner Mode and Protect Mode are turned off for newly registered channels.

If you would like to turn these prefixes on, type the following:
* <code>/msg ChanServ SET #moo OWNERMODE ON
* /msg ChanServ SET #moo PROTECTMODE ON</code>

==Managing Channel Access==
===Adding Access===
====Access Levels====
Administrators and operators are an important part of a channel. You've probably seen them around, with the '''&''' (Admin) or '''@''' (Op) in front of their name on some of our larger channels. Now, how do you assign them?
* <code>/msg ChanServ ACCESS #moo ADD Elchzard level
* .access add Elchzard level</code>

<pre>Level = A number between 3 and 9999 inclusive.
Level 3 -- Gives user voice (+).
Level 4 -- Gives user half-operator (%) status.
Levels 5 - 9 -- Gives user operator (@) status.
Levels 10 - 9998 -- Gives user administrator (&) status.
Level 9999 -- Gives user co-founder (~) status.</pre>

For fantasy commands using .access, there is also a shortcut available - <code>.axx</code>

So one of the access commands would be -- <code>.axx add Elchzard level</code>

====xOP====
If you're confused by access levels, xOP might be easier for you. Rather than using 9996 different levels, there are 4:
* SOP - SuperOP -- Equivalent to admin status, &, or levels 10-9998
* AOP - AutoOP -- Equivalent to operator status, @, or levels 5-9.
* HOP - HalfOP -- Equivalent to half-op status, %, or level 4.
* VOP - VOicePerson -- Equivalent to voice, +, or level 3.

To turn on the xOP system, you need to use one ChanServ command, and then you're good to go with assigning your operators.
* Turn on XOP -- <code>/msg ChanServ SET #moo XOP on</code>
* Assign SOPs -- <code>/msg ChanServ SOP #moo add Elchzard</code>
* Assign AOPs -- <code>/msg ChanServ AOP #moo add Elchzard</code>
* Assign HOPs -- <code>/msg ChanServ HOP #moo add Elchzard</code>
* Assign VOPs -- <code>/msg ChanServ VOP #moo add Elchzard</code>

Or using fantasy commands...
* Turn on XOP -- <code>.set xop on</code>
* Assign SOPs -- <code>.sop add Elchzard</code>
* Assign AOPs -- <code>.aop add Elchzard</code>
* Assign HOPs -- <code>.hop add Elchzard</code>
* Assign VOPs -- <code>.vop add Elchzard</code>

===Removing Access===
If ever the sad time comes when you need to remove a user's status on a channel, then it's equally as simple as giving the person ops in the first place. Also, if you want to change from xOP back to the normal access list system, it's simple.
* <code>/msg ChanServ ACCESS #moo DEL Sakura`Kinomoto</code> -- This will remove a users access on a channel.
* <code>/msg ChanServ ''X''OP #moo DEL Sakura`Kinomoto</code> -- Replace "X" with S, A, H or V to reflect the users current position - This command will then remove a users access on a channel when using the xOP system.
* <code>/msg ChanServ SET #moo XOP off</code> -- Will move you from xOP back to the normal access list system.

Alternatively, use our good old friends fantasy commands...
* <code>.access del Sakura`Kinomoto</code> -- This will remove a users access on a channel.
* <code>.XOP del Sakura`Kinomoto</code> -- Replace "X" with S, A, H or V to reflect the users current position - This command will then remove a users access on a channel when using the xOP system.
* <code>.set XOP off</code> -- Will move you from xOP back to the normal access list system.

==Channel Modes==
To enable a mode, simply type this...
* <code>/mode #moo +''Mode letter''</code>
Or, to remove a mode...
* <code>/mode #moo -''Mode letter''</code>

So, now, some commonly used modes:
* Block all messages containing colour codes - +c
* Strip colour, bold, italics, underline (making them appear as plain text) - +S
* Makes a channel secret, hiding it from the "/list" command - +s
* Adds a channel password - +k cows (The channel password is now cows).
* Make a channel invite only. (Must be invited to enter) - +i
* Set a user-limit for your channel - +l 500 (That's a lower case "L").
* Moderate a channel - i.e, set it so only users with voice (+) and above can speak - +m
* Block messages containing over 50% capitals, when they're longer than 5 characters - +B

==Banning==
Banning a user from a channel basically means they can't join it and talk there. You can ban a user with a certain nick, hostmask or ident from the channel.
* To ban a user's hostmask, (the most effective way) - <code>/mode #moo +b *!*@xertion-moo.moomoo-moo</code>
* To ban a user's nick - <code>/mode #moo +b MooMooGirl!*@*</code>
* To ban a user's ident - <code>/mode #moo +b *!Moo@*</code>

Or, with fantasy commands -
* For a hostmask - <code>.ban *!*@xertion-moo.moomoo-moo</code>
* For a nick - <code>.ban MooMooGirl!*@*</code>
* For an ident - <code>.ban *!Moo@*</code>

===Extended Bans===
Is that guy just changing his nick that '''''bit''''' too much? Is the dude there talking too often for your liking? Well, that's all solvable too!
Extended bans allow you to control a user's actions within your channel very finely.
Bear in mind, though, that most of these bans don't work on users with voice, or above.
* Mutes, or m: bans - Prevent a user from talking in the channel.
* No nick-changes, or N: bans - Prevent a user from changing their nick.
* Caps-bans, or B: bans - Prevent a specific user from using more than 50% caps in messages over 5 characters.
* Kick-block, or Q: bans - Prevent a specific user from making kicks (DOES work on hops and ops).
* Colour-strips, or S: bans - Strips colour from a specific user's messages.
* Colour-blocks, or c: bans - Prevents a user from sending messages containing mIRC colour codes.

So, how do you implement these?

The simplest for most of these is to grab the users hostmask, and then type this:
<pre>/mode #moo +b N:*!*@xertion-moo.moomoo-moo</pre>

Obviously, you have to change the example to the correct values for your purpose.

So essentially, you use the method above for a classic ban, and add a colon, preceded by the letter of the extban you want to use at the front of the identifier for the user.

Bear in mind that these extended bans don't work with the ".ban" fantasy command.

Mute, however, does have its own fantasy command - <code>.mute MooCow</code>

==Miscellaneous==
* <code>/whois MooCow</code> - Will give you general information about a user, as well as their '''hostmask''', which you can take from the whois data, for easy use in a ban or extended ban.
* <code>/list</code> - Will give you a list of all the network's channels that don't have +s or +p active.

NickServ:CertFP

2012-10-14T15:42:03Z

Ravager: Changed protection level for "CertFP" (‎[edit=sysop] (indefinite) ‎[move=sysop] (indefinite)) [cascading]

==Introduction==

This page describes how to connect, and identify yourself to services securely via a certificate fingerprint.

A major advantage of using a CertFP to authenticate is that you don't have to use <code>/msg NickServ IDENTIFY</code> anymore.

By using SSL you are also encrypting the connection between you and the server.

==Creating the certificate==

===OpenSSL===
We will be using OpenSSL to create the certificate. If you haven't already, please install OpenSSL using these instructions:

====Linux====
Most distributions come with OpenSSL. If they don't, please go to http://www.openssl.org/ and install.

====Windows====
Download [http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_1c.exe OpenSSL v1.0.1c], which was current at the time. Along with [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables]. I'm using Windows 7 so please note that you should select "The Windows system directory" when it asks you where to copy the dll files to, or it may not work.

===Generating a .pem===
To generate the required .pem file, you will need to create a key and a certificate first:

====Linux====
<code>openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout Xertion.key -x509 -days 365 -out Xertion.cer</code>

====Windows====
* Go to Start
* Type <code>cmd</code> in the search bar
* Open Command Prompt
* Type in <code>cd C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin</code> and hit return.
* Type <code>openssl</code> and hit return.
* You should now see something along the lines of <code>OpenSSL></code>
* Type in the following <code>req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout Xertion.key -x509 -days 365 -out Xertion.cer</code>

If you receive the following error:
<pre>WARNING: can’t open config file: /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf</pre>

You'll need to close OpenSSL and type in the following and restart OpenSSL:
<pre>set OPENSSL_CONF=C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg</pre>

After entering the command(s), you will be asked these questions, fill them in like so.

<pre>
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]:US
State or Province Name (full name) [Texas]:New York
Locality Name (eg, city) [San Antonio]:Manhattan
Organization Name (eg, company) [Stealth3]: Xertion
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [ISP]: IRC
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:Kaishiro
Email Address []:noreply@xertion.org
</pre>

This will create two files, which you will need to combine together.

====Linux====
<code>cat Xertion.cer Xertion.key > Xertion.pem</code>

====Windows====
<code>type Xertion.cer Xertion.key > Xertion.pem</code>

==Configuring your client==

This section varies highly from client to client.

===KVIrc===

Move the Xertion.pem file to a safe place.
* Go to "Settings -> Configure KVIrc"
* Go to "Connection -> advanced"
* On the Tab "SSL" check "Use ssl certificate" and "Use SSL private key' and point both to the Xertion.pem file you created.
* Change your connection settings and enable the SSL option.

===mIRC===

Move the Xertion.pem file to a safe place. Make sure you can connect using ssl. If not, then go here http://www.mirc.com/ssl.html
* Go to "Main Options Menu -> Connect -> Options"
* Click on the SSL button, if there isn't one, then you didn't install ssl properly.
* Click on the empty box below "Private Key File", navigate to where you placed your Xertion.pem and select it.
* Do the same for "Certificate Chain File"

===XChat===

XChat uses the pem file that corresponds with the name of the network under "Network list". If irc.xertion.org is named under Xertion, then all you have to do is move the Xertion.pem file to <code>~/.xchat2/Xertion.pem</code> or <code>C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\X-Chat 2</code>. If it's not named "Xertion", then you will have to either rename the .pem file, or rename the network that irc.xertion.org is listen under so they match each other. Once you are done with that:
* Go to Xchat menu and select "Network List"
* Find Xertion and select "edit".
* Select the boxes "Use SSL for all the servers on this network" and "Accept invalid SSL certificate".
* Click "Close" and then click "Connect".

===WeeChat===
Move Xertion.pem to ~/.weechat/ssl/Xertion.pem. Create directiory ~/.weechat/ssl beforehand if it doesn't exist

Assuming your network is labeled as "Xertion"...

Verify SSL is properly configured:

<pre>/set irc.server.Xertion.addresses "irc.xertion.org/6697"
/set irc.server.Xertion.ssl on
/set irc.server.Xertion.ssl_dhkey_size 1024
/set irc.server.Xertion.ssl_verify off</pre>

Run the following commands for the certificate:
<pre>/set irc.server.Xertion.ssl_cert "%h/ssl/Xertion.pem"</pre>

If you're using a vhost, you'll most likely also need to set the following options to delay autojoin, so that the vhost can kick in before joining:

<pre>/set irc.server.Xertion.command "/mute"
/set irc.server.Xertion.command_delay 1</pre>

The above can also be set using the interactive iset perl script.

===irssi===
* Move the cert to <code>~/.irssi/certs/Xertion.pem</code>
* Use the command <code>/server add -ssl -ssl_cert ~/.irssi/certs/Xertion.pem -network Xertion irc.xertion.org 6697</code>

If you find that irssi does not auto-join channels on connect which want you to be identified before you are joining, add -autosendcmd "wait -xertion 2000" to your irssi network settings. This makes irssi wait 2 seconds before any further action, giving services time to identify you.

Command: <code>/network add -autosendcmd "wait -xertion 2000" Xertion</code>

===ZNC===
* Ensure the [http://wiki.znc.in/Cert Cert module] is loaded.
* Log in to your web admin panel, and go to the User Modules section and select "Certificate".
* Copy the contents of the .pem file you created into the edit box and apply the changes.
* Reconnect your ZNC to the IRC network.

When you connect to Xertion, you should see something like:
<pre>*** You are connected using SSL cipher "DHE-RSA-AES-256-CBC-SHA1" and your SSL fingerprint is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
* Welcome to the Xertion IRC Network Kaishiro</pre>

If you see that, that means you have configured everything correctly.

==Add the certificate fingerprint to NickServ==

First, identify yourself through services with <code>/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password</code>.

Next, just copy and paste this line <code>/msg NickServ CERTFP ADD</code>

Disable whatever auto-authentication you had with NickServ before you saw this tutorial and reconnect. If it worked you will be identified by services automatically via the fingerprint.

If you have any questions, feel free to join [irc://irc.xertion.org/help #help] and ask.

Werewolf

2012-10-14T15:41:26Z

Ravager: Changed protection level for "Werewolf" (‎[edit=sysop] (indefinite) ‎[move=sysop] (indefinite)) [cascading]

Werewolf is a simple game for a large group of people.
4 players are required to start a game, but it works best when 7 or more users are involved.

===Wolfbot===
WolfBot is the Werewolf game's moderator, developed by Services Administrator, culex.
The bot essentially manages all aspects of the game, other than the choices made by players.

===Commands===
WolfBot is controlled by a set of commands, which can be messaged to the bot, or communicated via a set of fantasy commands - indicated with "!".

* Starting a game -- <code>!start</code>
* Joining a game -- <code>/msg WolfBot join</code> or <code>!join</code>
* Voting on who is lynched -- <code>/msg WolfBot vote name</code>
* Retracting your vote -- <code>/msg WolfBot devote</code>
* Using your "special power" -- <code>/msg WolfBot power target</code>

==Playing the Game==
===The Basics===
The game proceeds in alternating night and day phases, beginning with night.
At Night, the channel is muted - Nobody can talk. People with abilities, such as wolves and seers, now conduct their "duties".

In the morning, the results of special abilities are seen. Wolf maulings become clear, unless they've been negated by angels, seers find out the role of their target, finders see the target of their target.

* Once all this has happened, Voice is given to all active players, so they can discuss who they think the wolves are.
* After 90 seconds, voting opens for 30 seconds. Players cast their votes, and the player who is voted for in the majority is lynched.
* If this person is a wolf, their identity is revealed, and the villagers win if no other wolves are present.
* If the person is the Village Idiot, their identity is revealed and they win the game.
* If the person has any other role, their identity is revealed and play continues.

Dead players - whether mauled by wolves or lynched - have their voice removed, so they cannot talk while play is proceeding.

===Winning===
The humans win if the wolf is killed, or if all the wolves are killed, if there is more than one.

The wolves win if they kill all the villagers, so only wolves are left alive.

==Goals==
The villagers are trying to figure out who's a werewolf; the werewolves are pretending to be villagers, and trying to throw suspicion on real villagers.

The Village Idiot is trying to cast suspicion on himself, as he only wins if he is lynched.

==Roles==

* '''Villager''' -- A default player. No special abilities or powers.
* '''Wolf''' -- Kills one player every night. It's possible for there to be more than one; In this case, who gets killed is chosen in a fashion identical to the voting system for who is lynched during the day.
* '''Seer''' -- Can determine the role of one other player every night.
* '''Angel''' -- Can protect one other player each night from attack by the wolves. Bear in mind they don't know who is going to be attacked; They pick a player, and if the wolf happens to attack that player, they aren't killed.
* '''Doppleganger''' -- Can duplicate another player's role once during the entire game. Essentially, this gives a person the powers of the person they dopple.
* '''Village Idiot''' -- Wins the game if they're lynched during the day.
* '''Finder''' -- Can find the target of another player's abilities, once every night.

And, the corresponding powers...
* '''Wolf (kill)''' -- <code>/msg WolfBot kill player</code>
* '''Seer (see)''' -- <code>/msg WolfBot see player</code>
* '''Angel (shield)''' -- <code>/msg WolfBot shield player</code>
* '''Doppleganger (dopple)''' -- <code>/msg WolfBot dopple player</code>
* '''Finder (find)''' -- <code>/msg WolfBot find player</code>

==Clients==
===HexChat (XChat-WDK)===

'''Download:''' [http://www.hexchat.org here]

* Install HexChat with a Normal Installation. Choosing anything but normal installation will cause you to also install perl, python, and other languages. Normal is fine for the IRC beginner, and do not make it portable unless you are going to use it only on a flash drive.

[[File:Xchat-1.png|100px]]

* After installing HexChat you will be prompted a screen that will require you to enter your desired nick name, remember to only use normal ASCII characters and don't use any spaces. Next click on "Add" and replace "New Network" with Xertion then hit the "Favor" button. After you completed all of that then hit "Edit".

[[File:XChat-2.png|100px]]

* Click on "newserver/6667" and hit "Edit". Here we need to connect to a Xertion server, so put irc.xertion.org/6667 in "newserver/6667"'s place. Make sure to press ENTER after changing "newserver/6667" to irc.xertion.org/6667 or it won't save and you won't be able to connect. Don't forget to checkmark "Auto connect to this network at startup" to make life easier. Lastly you should enter a "Favorite channel" as this will let you auto connect to #lobby everytime you connect to the Xertion network. So hit the "...".

[[File:XChat-3.png|100px]]

* Click on "Add", and it'll ask you to type in a channel you need to type #lobby (remember to do the #). At this time if you wish to enter any other channel you may enter it now. When you are done hit "OK".

[[File:XChat-4.png|100px]]

* Now you are brought back to the previous window (the one that edits the Xertion network). So all you need to do now is type the Nickserv password if you have registered your nick with Xertion. If you haven't registered yet then you may put down the password you will register with (this will save you from having to go back and adding the password later), and yes everyone SHOULD register their nicks. Now hit "Close".

[[File:XChat-5.png|100px]]

* After you complete steps 2-5 you will be brought back to the "Network List" that you initially saw after you installed XChat-WDK. You should checkmark "Skip network list on startup" as you have pretty much finished editing the Xertion network and automated commands. After you do the checkmark hit "Connect" and you will be connect to #lobby on Xertion.

* Congratulations you now can connect and chat on Xertion's network!

===mIRC===
'''Download:''' [http://www.mirc.com/ here]

* Download the installer for mIRC from their website. It’s free for 30 days, after that it will let you continue to use it, however the main page will stay on longer before the “Continue” button appears.
Install mIRC by doing a full installation, enabling checking for updates is recommended.

[[File:mIRC-1.png|100px]]

* Open mIRC, it will prompt you to register the software, please take the time to do so. If you are going to use the trial please hit "Continue" and proceed to step 3.

[[File:mIRC-2.png|100px]]

* At this point mIRC will ask you to pick a nickname, it is not permanent even after you register the nickname (registering is covered in a different tutorial). I'd recommend using your forum username as to avoid confusion to who is who. The only limitations to a nickname is you can't use spaces and can't use unusual ASCII characters. Chances are if you don't know what ASCII is then you should be fine with what you choose.

[[File:mIRC-3.png|100px]]

* By default mIRC will pick a random network to connect to, however you want to be on the Xertion network, thus we must change our default server to a Xertion server. Select "Servers" under "Connect" on the left, and click on "Add".

[[File:mIRC-4.png|100px]]

* Another window will pop up, this needs to be filled out since Xertion is a relatively small network and is not recognized by mIRC by default. The first thing you want to do is put "Random Server" under the Description, as this will help you keep your list of servers organized. Next under IRC Server: you need to put: "irc.xertion.org". You should use the default port, so under ports put: "6667". Lastly type in "Xertion" under Group as this will again keep this all organized. When you are done click on "Add".

[[File:mIRC-5.png|100px]]

* An automatic feature of mIRC that is enabled by default (for your protection) is to only allow the download of a certain file types. For downloading purposes we need to change these options (don't worry we'll keep you protected still )
*So on the left hand corner expand "DCC" and select "Ignore". You wanna change it from "Accept only" to "Ignore only". And that is it, this will still offer some protection and can download a large range of different material.

[[File:mIRC-6.png|100px]]

* Now you'll need to make sure you will connect to a Xertion server so click on "Servers" under "Connect" and expand the Xertion group (signified as a folder), and click on "Random Server" as shown in the picture below. Then click on "Select".

[[File:mIRC-7.png|100px]]

* Next you want to connect to the server. So on the left hit "Connect" option and hit the "Connect" button. You will then be connected to a Xertion server.

[[File:mIRC-8.png|100px]]

* After mIRC has connected you to the server you will be asked to join a channel. First thing you will need to do is click on "Add" on the right.

[[File:mIRC-9.png|100px]]

* One thing you need to know about channels is that you need to have a # in front of it no matter the name or how you are tying to join it. So to join the main lobby channel you will always need to type: #lobby. So under Channel you will need to type "#lobby". Next click on "Join on connect". This will allow you to connect to #lobby automatically without having to type #lobby in mIRC favorites every time you connect to a Xertion server. Next click on "Add".

[[File:mIRC-10.png|100px]]

* Since we added Xertion as a known network in step 5 we have the ability to allow channels to be automatically connected. So you will have to scroll down close to the bottom and find "Xertion" and click on it. Once you clicked on "Xertion" hit "OK".

[[File:mIRC-11.png|100px]]

* Verify that what you just did in step 11 and 12 were done correctly and make sure the add channel window looks just like what is displayed below. Once you verify that it looks correct you will need to hit "OK".

[[File:mIRC-12.png|100px]]

* Make sure #lobby is selected and uncheck "Pop up favorites on connect", this will make it so every time you connect to a network it will not pop open the list of favorite channels (personally I hate that window, and would rather use the /join #nameofchannel command while connected to a server). Next hit "Join" and you will then be connected to Xertion's lobby.

[[File:mIRC-13.png|100px]]

* Congratulations you now can connect and chat on Xertion's network!

===irssi===
'''Download:''' Using whatever package manager your Linux/UNIX version uses. If no package is provided, see [http://www.irssi.org/ http://www.irssi.org/].

* Using Ubuntu as an example, the installation procedure goes: <code>$ sudo apt-get install irssi</code>

* irssi is a command-line client; you must run it from a terminal: <code>$ irssi</code>

* You will now want to set some settings first of all: nick, ident and ircname. Type: <code>/set nick ''yournick''

/set user_name ''yourident''

/set realname ''some witty comment or your real name''</code>

* After this, you must add the Xertion network and a server to use for it (Note: Since most Linux distribution ship irssi with SSL enabled, the /server command will also enable an encrypted connection to your server for more privacy and safety). Type: <code>/network add Xertion

/server add -ssl -network Xertion irc.xertion.org 6697</code>

* Now you can add some channels to join; in this example, you will be joining the channel #lobby (Just repeat the command with a different channel name to join more than one channel on connecting). Type: <code>/channel add -auto #lobby Xertion</code>

* Make sure that irssi saves your settings. Type: <code>/save</code>

* Connect to the network now. Type: <code>/connect Xertion</code>

* To change the window to the newly-opened channel window, type Alt-2. You're talking in #lobby now!

* For further reading, please refer to [http://ww.irssi.org/beginner/ http://www.irssi.org/beginner/].

VHost

2012-10-14T15:36:42Z

Ravager: Changed protection level for "VHost" (‎[edit=sysop] (indefinite) ‎[move=sysop] (indefinite)) [cascading]

A "'''vHost'''" ('''virtual host''') allows users to hide their hostmask (i.e., <code>xertion-6mau9k.fl.comcast.net</code>) with something creative (i.e., <code>i.am.the.doctor</code>). The nickname must be [[Nick Registration|registered]] in order to request a vHost.

==Rules==

All vHosts
# '''must''' contain a dot (aka <code>.</code> ) and can only contain alphanumeric characters, dots ( <code>.</code> ) and dashes ( <code>-</code> );
#* Valid: {{valid|<code>some.vhost</code>}}
#* Invalid: {{invalid|<code>somevhost</code>}}
# '''must not''' contain a <code>@</code>
#* Invalid: {{invalid|<code>blah@my.new.host</code>}}
# '''must not''' be an IP or IP look-a-like;
#* Invalid: {{invalid|<code>127.0.0.1</code>}} or {{invalid|<code>127.o.o.1</code>}}
# '''must not''' resolve (basically, the vHost can't point to an actual site);
#* Valid: {{valid|<code>not.a.real.website</code>}}
#* Invalid: {{invalid|<code>google.com</code>}} or {{invalid|<code>xertion.org</code>}}
#* Exception to this rule is '''''if''''' you own the domain. Please join #help and speak with an operator;
# '''must not''' contain colour codes. Colored vHosts are given at operator discretion;
# '''must not''' mimic government organizations such as FBI, CIA, ATF, Interpol, MPAA, or RIAA;
# '''must not''' contain the words 'ircop', 'admin', 'network', 'xertion', or any IRC Operator's nick;
# '''must not''' contain racist words (what is considered racist/derogatory by operator discretion);
# '''must not''' refer to other networks/spamming;
#* Invalid: {{invalid|<code>join.my.channel</code>}} or {{invalid|<code>come.to.irc.blahblahblah.net</code>}}
# '''must not''' refer to fraudulent activity. (dosing, rooting, "carding," etc.)

==Project Cloaks==
Project cloaks are vHosts assigned to your group, such as {{valid|<code>wikia/acwiki/username</code>}}. These types of vHosts cannot be requested using the [[HostServ]] system.

Project cloaks must be given by an IRC operator directly. Join #help to have these assigned to you.
==Understanding vHosts==
# '''vHosts are regulated by a bot''', which validates the vHosts against the rules. If your vHost keeps getting rejected and you think it is a mistake, <code>/join #help</code> for further assistance.
# '''vHosts must then be manually approved.'''
# Ban evasion using vHosts will cause you to get: your vHost removed, network banned from Xertion for a set period of time, and vHost banned for an extended period.

==Requesting a vHost==

'''You must have a registered nickname in order to request a vHost.''' In order to register your nickname, please visit [[Register your nickname]]

To request a vHost, use the command

<code>/msg HostServ REQUEST vhost.goes.here</code>

Your vHost is activated automatically upon approval.

If it is not, you can turn it on using: <code>/msg HostServ ON</code>

==Understanding of the vHost system==

When you request a vHost, it is sent to the staff for activation.
*So if you keep on sending your request without correcting your error, we see it. Over and over.

*This can take anywhere from 6 seconds, and a few hours.
*Not everyone on the staff lives in your timezone.
*Sometimes a staff member may defer an answer pending consultation with other operators.
*''Reminding'' staff to approve your vHost is nothing but frustrating. The staff saw your request in every condition where you got a valid response from the vHost request system. ''Please wait patiently.''

Please do not experiment with different vHost requests, or put in a default example and expect to change it a few minutes later.

===HexChat (XChat-WDK)===

'''Download:''' [http://www.hexchat.org here]

* Install HexChat with a Normal Installation. Choosing anything but normal installation will cause you to also install perl, python, and other languages. Normal is fine for the IRC beginner, and do not make it portable unless you are going to use it only on a flash drive.

[[File:Xchat-1.png|100px]]

* After installing HexChat you will be prompted a screen that will require you to enter your desired nick name, remember to only use normal ASCII characters and don't use any spaces. Next click on "Add" and replace "New Network" with Xertion then hit the "Favor" button. After you completed all of that then hit "Edit".

[[File:XChat-2.png|100px]]

* Click on "newserver/6667" and hit "Edit". Here we need to connect to a Xertion server, so put irc.xertion.org/6667 in "newserver/6667"'s place. Make sure to press ENTER after changing "newserver/6667" to irc.xertion.org/6667 or it won't save and you won't be able to connect.

Lastly you should enter a "Favorite channel" as this will let you auto connect to #lobby everytime you connect to the Xertion network. So hit the "...".

* Click on "Add", and it'll ask you to type in a channel you need to type #lobby (remember to do the #). At this time if you wish to enter any other channel you may enter it now. When you are done hit "OK".

[[File:XChat-4.png|thumb]]

* Now you are brought back to the previous window (the one that edits the Xertion network). So all you need to do now is type the Nickserv password if you have registered your nick with Xertion. If you haven't registered yet then you may put down the password you will register with (this will save you from having to go back and adding the password later), and yes everyone SHOULD register their nicks. Now hit "Close".

[[File:XChat-5.png|thumb]]

* After you complete steps 2-5 you will be brought back to the "Network List" that you initially saw after you installed XChat-WDK. You should checkmark "Skip network list on startup" as you have pretty much finished editing the Xertion network and automated commands. After you do the checkmark hit "Connect" and you will be connect to #lobby on Xertion.

* Congratulations you now can connect and chat on Xertion's network!

===mIRC===
'''Download:''' [http://www.mirc.com/ here]

* Download the installer for mIRC from their website. It’s free for 30 days, after that it will let you continue to use it, however the main page will stay on longer before the “Continue” button appears.
Install mIRC by doing a full installation, enabling checking for updates is recommended.

See: [[Media:mIRC-1.png]]

* Open mIRC, it will prompt you to register the software, please take the time to do so. If you are going to use the trial please hit "Continue" and proceed to step 3.

See: [[Media:mIRC-2.png]]

* At this point mIRC will ask you to pick a nickname, it is not permanent even after you register the nickname (registering is covered in a different tutorial). I'd recommend using your forum username as to avoid confusion to who is who. The only limitations to a nickname is you can't use spaces and can't use unusual ASCII characters. Chances are if you don't know what ASCII is then you should be fine with what you choose.

See: [[Media:mIRC-3.png]]

* By default mIRC will pick a random network to connect to, however you want to be on the Xertion network, thus we must change our default server to a Xertion server. Select "Servers" under "Connect" on the left, and click on "Add".

See: [[Media:mIRC-4.png]]

* Another window will pop up, this needs to be filled out since Xertion is a relatively small network and is not recognized by mIRC by default. The first thing you want to do is put "Random Server" under the Description, as this will help you keep your list of servers organized. Next under IRC Server: you need to put: "irc.xertion.org". You should use the default port, so under ports put: "6667". Lastly type in "Xertion" under Group as this will again keep this all organized. When you are done click on "Add".

See: [[Media:mIRC-5.png]]

* An automatic feature of mIRC that is enabled by default (for your protection) is to only allow the download of a certain file types. For downloading purposes we need to change these options (don't worry we'll keep you protected still )
**So on the left hand corner expand "DCC" and select "Ignore". You wanna change it from "Accept only" to "Ignore only". And that is it, this will still offer some protection and can download a large range of different material.

See: [[Media:mIRC-6.png]]

* Now you'll need to make sure you will connect to a Xertion server so click on "Servers" under "Connect" and expand the Xertion group (signified as a folder), and click on "Random Server" as shown in the picture below. Then click on "Select".

See: [[Media:mIRC-7.png]]

* Next you want to connect to the server. So on the left hit "Connect" option and hit the "Connect" button. You will then be connected to a Xertion server.

See: [[Media:mIRC-8.png]]

* After mIRC has connected you to the server you will be asked to join a channel. First thing you will need to do is click on "Add" on the right.

See: [[Media:mIRC-9.png]]

* One thing you need to know about channels is that you need to have a # in front of it no matter the name or how you are tying to join it. So to join the main lobby channel you will always need to type: #lobby. So under Channel you will need to type "#lobby". Next click on "Join on connect". This will allow you to connect to #lobby automatically without having to type #lobby in mIRC favorites every time you connect to a Xertion server. Next click on "Add".

See: [[Media:mIRC-10.png]]

* Since we added Xertion as a known network in step 5 we have the ability to allow channels to be automatically connected. So you will have to scroll down close to the bottom and find "Xertion" and click on it. Once you clicked on "Xertion" hit "OK".

See: [[Media:mIRC-11.png]]

* Verify that what you just did in step 11 and 12 were done correctly and make sure the add channel window looks just like what is displayed below. Once you verify that it looks correct you will need to hit "OK".

See: [[Media:mIRC-12.png]]

* Make sure #lobby is selected and uncheck "Pop up favorites on connect", this will make it so every time you connect to a network it will not pop open the list of favorite channels (personally I hate that window, and would rather use the /join #nameofchannel command while connected to a server). Next hit "Join" and you will then be connected to Xertion's lobby.

See: [[Media:mIRC-13.png]]

* Congratulations you now can connect and chat on Xertion's network!

==Clients==
===HexChat (XChat-WDK)===

'''Download:''' [http://www.hexchat.org here]

* Install HexChat with a Normal Installation. Choosing anything but normal installation will cause you to also install perl, python, and other languages. Normal is fine for the IRC beginner, and do not make it portable unless you are going to use it only on a flash drive.

[[File:Xchat-1.png]]

* After installing HexChat you will be prompted a screen that will require you to enter your desired nick name, remember to only use normal ASCII characters and don't use any spaces. Next click on "Add" and replace "New Network" with Xertion then hit the "Favor" button. After you completed all of that then hit "Edit".

[[File:XChat-2.png]]

* Click on "newserver/6667" and hit "Edit". Here we need to connect to a Xertion server, so put irc.xertion.org/6667 in "newserver/6667"'s place. Make sure to press ENTER after changing "newserver/6667" to irc.xertion.org/6667 or it won't save and you won't be able to connect. Don't forget to checkmark "Auto connect to this network at startup" to make life easier.
