Connecting via IRC

Connecting to mafia via IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is simple. Using an IRC client capable of DCC Chat (see table below), you will need to connect to the IRCHIGHWAY network. This can usually be done by typing /server irc.irchighway.net in the chat box (also known as the editbox) of the IRC Client. Refer to your Client's help documentation on connecting to a network if this does not work.

Once connected to the IRCHIGHWAY network, simply type /join #mafia. Now all that is left to do is to connect to the mafia bot. This can be done by typing !entermafia in the channel. You will be prompted with a dialog regarding a DCC Chat connection with the mafia bot; click Accept and you're good to go.
