Join the new world

Editor's note: I wanted the links to be clickable. eRepublik did not. eRepublik wins this time...

After I set up my "private office" on Rizon.net, a few folks asked me to walk them through the process. This is the method I used.

Creating a Channel

First you have to register your nick with NickServ. Use the following comman😛

/ns register (password) (email)

You'll get a confirmation email. Copy the command in that email and paste it back to nickserv to prove that you're a real person, and the nick will be registered. Whenever you're online, identify yourself by typing /ns identify (password). Most IRC clients can be configured to do this for you automatically.

Next, create your channel. This is as simple as joining any other channel.

/join #yourchannel

To protect your channel, you'll want to register it as well, and declare yourself the founder. You can also switch the generic operator levels to a more structured system of access levels, like most eUS Military channels use.

SgtRock

There are many BotServ bots out there, I use SgtRock because my channel is a military office.

Type /msg BotServ assign #yourchannel SgtRock
Then when he arrives, type .access add (your nick) 10 to make yourself the owner.
