Legions IRC bots

[Application-1]

Thanks to Xzanth the official legions servers now have their own IRC chat bot running on Quakenet.
They can be found in their own channels name:
#Empire.1
#Empire.2
#Hotswap.1
#Hotswap.2
#LastHope.1
#LastHope.2

The IRC bots forward all the ingame messages of the server to IRC and from IRC to the server itself. Wich means you can talk to people ingame through IRC that are in game and if need be the other way round. When in IRC you can also ask the bot for a list of players that are currently playing, the command for that is `list.

A few of the legions admins are also in these channels, so you can talk with them from in-game to IRC if the server needs a map restart or some other problem occurs.

Would also like to point out that we have the #legions chatroom running that you can join and talk with legions people.

Last but not least all credit goes to Xzanth for making the bot, all I did was make this thread. Will also use this thread for updates that might happen to the bot.

Great stuff Xzanth! We need more of these kinds of projects.

 

[Armageddon]

Add #LastHope.1 & #LastHope.2 to the list plz

With the irc and pub population low these days maybe they should all just go to 1 chan ?

Amazing work - will make things a lot easier.
Thanks Xzanth!

Pointing all to one chan would get messy, every message from every server will be shown and it might be a bitch to figure out which server needs an admins help.

Not necessarily true, you could make some admin tools.

This is awesome.

Also I think BugsPray is the sexiest legionnaire alive.

EDIT: And Seymour! I just haven't seen him around in a while

You are obviously forgetting Seymour! Our cherub!

BugsPray is more of a 'pretty, David Bowie-esque kind of sexy', whereas Seymour is pure manly sexual chocolate.

Seymour still lurks underground, think of him as a furry gollum.

I beg to differ, i should post the many pictures of me in dresses. It happens.

Yar, true enough; the Legions community does have a strong history of cross dressing men. Kryst was fond of the lady clothes and being pretty. So was PureWhoopAss, at least on Thursdays.

To get back on topic, Seymour's parked himself in some of these IRC rooms to help give relationship advice and schmooze.
