In-game Chat Channel

Through hard work by the man FiReMaGe, it is possible to chat with people in-game while you yourself are not logged into your game.
In order to do this you must first log onto our IRC server (see above) and join the channel #vendetta-ingame. Then you must register with FiReMaGe's bot, which is named Vendetta in the channel (and IRC in-game:

1. Register your IRC nickname if you have not already using nickserv.
   • Type: /msg nickserv register (password) (email) Replacing password with the password you'd like and email with your valid email address.
   • Now activate your account by following the directions in your email.
   • Type: /msg nickserv identify (password)
   1. Now, type /msg vendetta help
   2. You need to log in to Vendetta and do what the bot told you to do, which should be to type (in-game):
      • /msg IRC (your irc nickname)
   3. Congratulations, your IRC nickname will now be able to use the bot! You can send the commands you see in the following section, Commands to the bot.
