Welcome to the Kickwars tutorial! This tutorial explains how to play the chatroom game, #Kickwars,

Here is a manual for #Kickwars, complete with a detailed attack list. This list explains the command used once you achieve a higher level in the game.

So, lets start off with the basics:

What is the objective of the game?

The object is basically to successfully attack, kick your enemy, and retreat. All of this is done with commands, which are quickly processed by a bot, and made into actions in the chatroom.

How do I start playing?

The easiest and most popular way to play, is by entering “Solo” or free-for-all. To do this simply type in the command “!kw join s”. When you do that, ~KickWars will inform you that you are in Solo, and promote you to a privclass called Solo. Now that you are in Solo, you are ready to fight others. What do all the different privclasses mean?

There are 6 player privclasses in #Kickwars - 3 "defensive" privclasses and 3 "offensive" privclasses. When you are in an offensive privclass you can kick other players who are in the same offensive privclass. The offensive privclass for Solo, is the Arena. Aside from Solo, there are 2 teams. Team A, and Team B. Players on the same team can’t attack each other, they fight the opposing team. The offensive privclasses for Team A and Team B are FieldA and FieldB. How do I change position?

Type !kw attack or !kw retreat to go to the offensive/defensive positions, respectively.

Who can I kick?

The command for kicking is !kw kick playersname. This command can be used when both you, and your enemy are the same offensive position. When you are in an offensive position, people can go into the same offensive position and kick you. You need to kick first to win. It is important that you retreat after you kick, so that you don’t get surprised by another player, and kicked. The command for retreating is !kw retreat

Are there attacks other than !kw kick?

The main type of attack is the kick. As you kick more people, you gain points and advance levels, and unlock new attacks. The full list of attacks is in the beginning of the tutorial.

I still haven't managed to kick anyone...

Don't worry, you'll get better with experience, as with all things. To help newbies along, the scoring system is coded so that newbies don't lose any points when they are kicked, until they are level 1 (20 points), and even at that level, they only lose 1 point from being kicked. So, at the beginning, don't be afraid to take risks and attack high-level players! A low-level player successfully kicking a high-level player will gain much more points than a high-level player would gain from kicking a low-level player.

Help! Someone kicked me and I can't do anything!

If you are kicked by an enemy, you'll have to join #Kickwars again. When you come back into #Kickwars, you will notice your privclass is “Dead”; that’s because you’re dead! To join again, all you have to do is use the command !kw join.

That's everything you need to know! There are other commands and ways of using them, but you'll find out how to use them as you go along. Trust me, when you know the basics, everything else is much easier to understand.

Thanks for reading, and good luck from the team at #Kickwars!
