- :p.
- Command : abort
- Args : none
-
- Sends a request to your opponent to abort the game in progress,
- thus discarding it. If your opponent issued a similar request at most
- one move ago, the game ends with no ratings adjustment.
- If you want
- to save the game (in order to continue it later), you should adjourn
- it.
-
- If your opponent is out of time, you can use abort, and the game will be
- immediately aborted without waiting for the opponent to type "abort".
- Aborted games are listed in your history, for examination or mailing.

- aics% help abuse
- Indulging in any of the following is considered cheating or abuse and will
- result in deletion of your account, loss of games, or loss of rating points.
- (Special circumstances may occur that cause an incident described below to
- not be abuse. These cases will be handled at admins' discretion).
-
- 1. Disconnecting in a lost position and failing to return to finish the game:
- People doing this are placed on the "abusers" list. They automatically
- lose any game from which they disconnect. The above applies to rated
- games only. This list can be seen with "=abuser" or "help abusers".
-
- 2. Refusing to resume an adjourned game when the opponent asks. If you are a
- victim of this, read "help adjudicate".
-
- 3. Intentionally losing games to another user so as to inflate the other
- person's rating. Accepting the wins from the player who is intentionally
- losing is also abuse.
-
- 4. Playing the same player repeatedly during your provisional period
- in order to get an artificially high rating. Try not to play the same
- player more than 4 rated games during your provisional period (first
- 20 rated games). Playing most of your games against provisional players.
-
- 5. Having more than one account on ICS without informing the administrators
- about it.
-
- 6. Using a computer without telling the administrators and without putting
- a note in your finger: People have the right to know whether they are
- playing a human or a compute
- r.
-
- 7. Directing profanity at another user.
-
- Please note that lag-flagging is NOT abuse. Read "help lagflag".

- :p.
- Command : accept
- Args : <player>

- you, you need to supply the desired player's name as an argument.
