THE RUSTNET FIELD GUIDE

Request F for your channel

F is RustNet’s channel game service. Requests happen directly on IRC and use your existing X account and channel access.

Check your access

Sign in to X, join the channel, and check your access with WHOAMI. You must hold X owner (+n) or master (+m) access on that registered channel and remain in it while F checks the request. Current @ status alone is not enough.

A suspended F account cannot request channels. One account may have up to ten assigned F channels; contact staff if you reach that limit.

/msg X WHOAMI #channel

Send the request

Replace #channel with your channel and send REQUEST privately to F. F checks your X access and membership before assigning itself. Wait for its reply and actual channel presence.

There is no web form, separate F owner password, or additional approval step in this workflow. If F is already assigned, it reports that state, including suspension where applicable.

/msg F REQUEST #channel

Start playing

Each player signs in to X. In a channel with F, .commands returns private help. Profiles start at zero chips and are created on the first authenticated game command; .reg creates one explicitly.

Try .ag for a free anagram or .givemoney to claim free chips. Balances belong to the underlying X account, not a nickname. Chips have no cash value.

Games and channel access

Players can use word games, card games and multiplayer tables, subject to the game’s turn rules, stakes, cooldowns and available balance. Play manually: repeated automated game commands can lead to F access being suspended.

Game availability can be paused for the service or for a particular channel. Contact RustNet for help with removing F or reviewing a suspension.

Examples use placeholders. Copying a command does not send it. Replace placeholders and review the destination before sending.
