1.1. Getting Started¶

To setup a profile, you “register” by using .profile create. This will create a profile and other user-specific data and fill the profile with initial information.

Note

Registration is only required to setup your own profile and to explore the Deepsea Metro. Features such as the utility and fun commands are fully available at any time, regardless of whether you have a profile or not.

You can then set the individual profile fields using their respective .profile subcommands. A list of these commands is available at anytime by using .help module profile.

Most notably are .profile ign, .profile fc, and .profile rank.

Getting information¶

Firstly, you’re already on the right track for getting info; this documentation is one of multiple resources available to you.

Telephone bot has several built-in commands providing similar information, from general help topics (including excerpts from this web documentation), to listings of available commands, and detailed command usage information; all available without leaving Discord.

Here’s a quick overview of the help commands:

For a list of modules, use .help modules.
For more information about a particular module, use the .help module command.
For detailed help regarding a specific command, use the .help command command.
To view the latest news about Telephone, use the .news command.
For live support, you can use the .discord command to quickly join the support server.

Understanding usage examples¶

Each command’s listing gives an example of its usage in a long standing convention to indicate what different arguments are, and which are required or option:

<required> information is placed between a pair of greater-than/less-than signs or guillemets.
[optional] information is placed between brackets.

Important

You don’t actually type brackets or inequalities when specifying what you want to a command. They only exist in the usage examples so you know what is needed, and what else you can optionally do.
