Knowledge Bot

[OdiumTheologicum]

So I checked the knowledge bot when I met Rupert. It said:
Henzell says...

An evil crusader. Will "look more energetic" 2 turns after his berserk wears off (and promptly zerk again). Spells: paralyse, confuse, berserker rage. In 0.7, is generated with a good two-handed weapon. For laughs, watch: "!lg * mfre killer=rupert 1 -tv:<0.5" or "!lg * kewn killer=rupert 1 -tv:<0.5".

watch: "!lg * mfre killer=rupert 1 -tv:<0.5" or "!lg * kewn killer=rupert 1 -tv:<0.5".
How the hell do I watch these things?

Ask the bot. You have to type those commands in IRC in ##crawl and then you can watch the game in FooTV.

I can't figure out how to get it to play. :/ I've never used an IRC before sorry.

You can use this address for a web-based connection: http://webchat.freenode.net/#
I believe you'll be able to figure it out .

Well I got that far. When I PM it to Sequell it says request for FooTV and then beeps but nothing happens. I tried following the link to the FooTV at the top and I just get a blank white page. > .>

"telnet termcast.develz.org (and then select the letter for FooTV). do not use SSH." - you have to use PuTTY (if in Windows) to connect to the FooTV server.

In PuTTY then enter Hostname: termcast.develz.org, Connection Type: Telnet, port: 23 (this should be automatically filled with selecting Telnet. Press "Open" - you're there .

Ah. That'd be the problem then. XD Never had PuTTY. =x But thanks, I'm sure from here I can figure it out.

I've been seeing those codes on the Knowledge Bot but never bothered to figure out what they mean... thanks galehar and Zicher for the replies, and OdiumTheologicum for posting the question

@hxy: Note that the !lg command (and others, entered via ##crawl) only display games on CAO and CDO servers. Thus, they're of little worth for offline players.
