Commands

Everything starts with .duel. (. or ! both work.) Anything that isn't a command name is treated as a target, so .duel Alice is a fight. You can also use a mention, or /me fights Alice. New here? Your first command shows you how to start: .duel start draws a random character, or build your own.

The server tier is the highest pepper rank anyone has reached. It's shared: when somebody levels up, commands unlock for the whole room.

Command	What it does	Unlocks at	Stamina	Where
`arena`	`.arena` shows who is in the arena. `.arena <assault\|mayhem\|hungergames\|colosseum\|monster\|grenade\|trebuchet\|roulette>` starts a big event, and only works while you are standing in the arena. Everyone in town is pulled in for free and returned afterwards.	open	-	anywhere

`casino` also: cage, chips	The casino opens in town once a second town has been found. Chips are separate from coin: `casino buy <chips>` costs 11 coin each, `casino cash <chips>` pays 9 coin each (up to 200 chips a day). `casino` shows your chips.	open	-	town

Tips

.duel why explains your last fight in chat; .duel web sends you a private link to your own page.
Add docs after a command (like .duel forge docs) for in-chat help.
Fighting happens in the arena; shops are in town. Dying sends you back to town.
