Connecting to a specific server.

We currently have two active IRC servers on our network. By default, the irc.fuelrats.com address will connect you to one of these servers at random. If you wish to connect to a specific server, you can use the server addresses below:

US Server: irc.us.fuelrats.com

Tip
titleConnecting via the web client

The Fuel Rats also has a Kiwi web clients through which rats can connect if they are out traveling. The client is at: https://client.fuelrats.com:7778 or http://client.fuelrats.com:7779 (non-SSL)

Please note that Firefox has a broken SSL implementation that prevents the Kiwi client from working; please use the non-SSL version.

 

 

 

What is the significance of the '+' marker in the channels?

titleWhat is the significance of the '+' marker in channels?markers and "voiced" status

The + mark (Normally called 'voice' in IRC terminology) is applied to drilled rats to make it easier for Dispatch to see who is fully drilled and ready for being dispatched on rescues. If you have been drilled, but do not have the + in front of your nick, first check to ensure that you are identified with Nickserv. If you are, and a /whois of yourself says you have a hostmask of recruit.fuelrats.com, please contact the Tech Rats here: http://t.fuelr.at/help .

All identified rats have a vhost applied to them, in the format <nickname>.*.fuelrats.com. The * may be recruit, rat, techrat, overseer, op or netadmin. This identifies what rats have various roles on the network. Netadmins are techrats with network-wide IRC powers, and are able to help with issues such as not being able to connect, banning problematic users from the network, and so forth. Ops are the janitorial team of the channels, and usually help with maintaining the Mischief environment by removing problematic cats and reminding rats of the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct when necessary.
