  86.                          A value of -1 will fill the entire server
  87.                          with robots.  Note however that there will
  88.                          always be room for one new player, the robots
  89.                          will be kicked out of the game to accomodate
  90.                          for new players, they will also enter the

  95.           If you are the owner of a server you have successfully
  96.           connected to (with _x_p_i_l_o_t(_6)), you have several special
  97.           commands available, all of which applies to the current
  98.           server only:
  99.  
  100.           mmmm              Send a message to the players.
  101.  
  102.           kkkk              Kick a player out of the game.  Currently,
  103.                          this command does not stop the player from
  104.                          re-joining the game.  Hopefully, however, he
  105.                          or she would have learned their lesson.
  106.  
  107.           llll              Lock/unlock the game.  This prevents other
  108.                          users from joining the game.
  109.  
  110.           dddd              Shutdown/cancel shutdown.  This command will
  111.                          ask for a reason and a shutdown delay (in
  112.                          seconds) and transmit these to the server.  A
  113.                          timer will appear showing how much time is
  114.                          left before the game goes down.  If you don't
  115.                          specify a delay, you will be canceling an
  116.                          already initiated shutdown.
