    /show

List all available chatrooms:
    /list-chats

    /online

    /talk <username1> <username2> <username3>

Ideas

The idea came from when me and a bunch of friends staying over at a place with no internet. At that moment, we have no cards nor board games. Then I realize that its a good idea to have host a private server for a LAN party LOL ...
