Connecting to Mafia

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.
You can also connect to mafia from any channel where the Narrator bot is, or via private message to it.

Scripts to automate connection
Many IRC clients have scripting support which allow for the creation of your own custom commands. As such, it is possible to create a command that automatically connects you to mafia without having to connect to the IRCHighway network.
mIRC
Type the following into the editbox:
/alias mafia msg $me $chr(1) $+ DCC CHAT chat 3648395929 52461 $+ $chr(1)
You will only need to do this once. From now on, if you type "/mafia", you will be connected.
