<mattbuck> ~nevtip
<mattbot3> | ~nevball 17 | 11/04/08 - Arenas.
<mattbot3> | ~nevball 17 | Betting on arenas can win you quite a bit of money. The admins carried out a test a while ago, and found that by betting randomly, you on average get back more than you spend. Knowing which empire to bet on can be quite tricky, but remember that the mechs will be roughly even on BV, and so which mech is better suited to the terrain may well swing it.
<mattbot3> | ~nevball 17 | For instance, a jump mech will do a lot better in a foresty map than a walker will, but will likely do less well on the flat because it has less weapons and its manoeuveurability counts for less.

If you request a unit mattbot3 has no knowledge of, it will attempt to find a partial match with the unit code. If there is one, it will respond with that. If however there is more than one match it will give you a list from which to choose.

<mattbuck> ~unitstats BLD-G6

Mattbot3 Maintainer Commands

You may add to the ~8ball list of answers if you are a mattbot3 maintainer. To use this, type ~8ball add [question type - leave blank if yes/no, otherwise: where / when will / when did / how much / how many / why / who] addition. If you are not a mattbot3 maintainer then you will be given a standard yes/no answer.

<mattbuck> ~8ball add where Somewhere in Afghanistan.

This is a function reserved for mattbot3 maintainers. It allows them to alter the 4/4 BV of units used in the ~bv and ~unitstats commands. Usage is ~bvalter <unit code> <new 4/4 BV>

<mattbuck> ~bvalter AS7-HOC 2750

This is a function for mattbot3 maintainers so they can alter channel settings in channels where they do not have sufficient access. Without any parameters, it will display God mode status for the current channel. God mode also protects the maintainer from being kicked by the bot, and makes all the maintainer's bot commands reply in channel.

<mattbuck> ~god
<mattbot3> mattbuck: God mode for #neveron_admin is N

You may view channel status remotely.

<mattbuck> ~god ##
<mattbot3> mattbuck: God mode for ## is Y

To set god mode, use ~god <on/off>

<mattbuck> ~god on
<mattbot3> mattbuck: God mode for #neveron_admin set to Y

This is the command for mattbot3 maintainers to register channels with the bot. Syntax is ~register <channel> <owner> <expiry>. Expiry is currently disabled, use 0 as default, or for no expiry date.

<mattbuck> ~register ## mattbuck 0
<mattbot3> mattbuck: ## has been registered.
