IRC Type Commands

Action/Emote Posts

/me message

In the message bar, type “/me message” (without the quotes). This command allows you to add fun action messages. Example: Type “/action files around the room” (without the quotes) and a message will appear in the main chat window informing other users that username flies around the room.

/dice roll

In the message bar, type: /dice roll “action”dice (be sure to include the quotes around your action but put your dice number directly after the “). This command allows you to simulate rolling dice in the chat room. For example, type /dice roll “attack monster”7 to generate your results.

• You can also add a dice modifier to the roll. For example, Willpower: /dice roll “action”dice WP
