I've been busy for a few weeks here, but am going to play. Couple of questions:

does HGM's server use timeseal or timestamp?

is the address of the server actually "hgm.org"?

what port? (5000)?

Some hopefully minor problems

Some hopefully minor problems:

There seem to be some disreprencies between the commands at the event web page and HGM's server responses.

set allowkib 1 -> No such variable name allowkib.

set noescape 0 -> No such variable name noescape.

set formula computer & unrated & time=45 & inc=10 -> Bad value given for variable formula.

These should work:

set kibitz 1
set formula computer & !rated & time=45 & inc=10

Yes, that should work. But how is "noescape" to be handled?
