Some general questions
What are other bots?  Where this (and other bots) are installed?  It would be nice if this page (or a page linked from this) would have all answers to such questions... --92.39.161.231 21:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

When are player deaths announced?
How long does it take for the bot to announce a player death? Cause I just YASDed on nethack.alt.org and there's nothing on that IRC channel... --Bluescreenofdeath (talk) 07:31, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Within a few seconds of you finishing the DYWYPI sequence, normally. It won't announce deaths in the very early game, though, because there are a lot of those and it doesn't want to spam the channel. Ais523 (talk) 12:44, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
It will announce early-game deaths; it won't announce quits or escapes at fewer than 1000 points, though, as these are mostly startscumming. —bcode&nbsp;talk&nbsp;|&nbsp;mail 19:25, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
