Basic Features

The following commands can be used by all players.

/help - Shows a pop up window with commands that you can type into the chat window. This is available within the lobby or within rooms. The help command is context sensitive so if you are in the Lobby it will show Lobby commands first. If you are in a room it will show room commands.

Bombs

/pie [player] - Drop a pie on the player named ”[player]”

/tomato [player] - Drop a tomato on the player named ”[player]”

/anvil [player] - Drop an anvil on the player named ”[player]”

/balloon [player] - Drop a water balloon on the player named ”[player]”

/bomb [player] - Drop a bomb on the player named ”[player]”

Side Betting

While not playing a hand (or after folding a hand) you may place bets on the active players, similar to betting on a horse race. If at least one player bets on a winning player, and at least one player bets on a losing player, the tokens in the sidebet pot will be split up amongst the winner(s). If nobody bets for a winner, or nobody bets for a loser, then all side bets are refunded. Note that an active player is considered a “winner” if he profits money during the hand.

Custom Avatars

Using the face icon in the lower-right corner of the chat tab, you can set your player's “poker face” and color. The setting will be remembered for you between sessions. You can also specify your own color by typing /rgb RRGGBB into the chat window, where RRGGBB is the hex color code. (Example: /rgb 99CCFF)

Profiles

Every player gets a 'profile' where they can tell a little bit about themselves. Power Players get even more profile options including a picture and more options for adding things to their profiles.

Information Revealing

While you are actively playing in a hand (if you have cards) you can reveal information to the room about your cards. You can do this for comedic or strategic value, but it's not likely to give you an advantage unless you are really clever, or your opponents are easily fooled.

Type these into the chat window:

Reset Stats

If you want to reset your player, as if you had just created a new user, go to the lobby and type /reset. Warning: this will erase all player history, stats, chips, everything, and you can't undo it. It will not affect Power Player status, Admin status, or your Weblinker medals.
