WOL GameServ Protocol
This Server is the server that is used to organize games. Games are played between clients and not run over the server.
Due to differences in implementation, my code examples shall show dWOL-style output rather than XWIS output (Even if dWOL does not currently implement the token). This is because dWOL attempts to stay true to the IRC RFC, whereas XWIS is a lazy implementation, and thus the examples look better from dWOL.
Channels Due to the irc-based nature of the protocol, the different game "bunkers" are actually irc channels, with a key of "zotclot9"
LOB_<GameNumber>_[0-7] The game then converts these channel names to area names. Yuris revenge has the following:
- lob_19_0 = Quick Match Or quick Co-Op?
- lob_18_0 = Tiberian Sun Lobbie's 0 to 7
- lob_33_0 = Red Alert 2 lobbie's 0 to 7
- Lob_41_7 = Intl. Command
- Lob_41_6 = Chinese Bunker
- Lob_41_5 = French HQ
- Lob_41_4 = Korean HQ
- Lob_41_3 = USA HQ
- Lob_41_2 = German Bunker
- Lob_41_1 = Korean Bunker
- Lob_41_0 = USA Command
Games are also hosted in channels. #<Player>'s_game

SERIAL This is the users serial number. XWIS uses this to make serial numbers only work for 3 accounts. This can also be used to ban users, and WOL used it to check for warezed copies.
[ IN ] >> SERIAL 0000000000000000000000 USER This is only used to maintain compatibility with the IRC Protocol. dWOL uses this line to start sending the MOTD, add new users, perform checks on banned users, invalid passwords, etc etc
SETLOCALE When you first connect to WOL, the game asks where you are. All locations have a code, this code is sent to the server to store. Probably used for quick-game matching. If given with no param, current setting is returned.

So far I've seen 0, 128 and 384. 384 = Locked, the other 2 both show unlocked. Resolution
0 = no resolution lock. 640 = 640x480 800 = 800x600 1024 = 1024x768 JOIN JOIN #Lob_41_1 zotclot9 used to join a lobby. On join send names/topic
