Zebulon is a permanently logged in Greeter, likely made by Ragnor .
You can find him at the metalforge server.
This is what he prints to the player, when tell Zebulon help
is issued :
Zebulon tells you: I'm a bot. I know about the following topics: - Explain: I can explain item and monster properties. - LearnDb: Teaches me information. - Suggest: I'll pass a message to my master. Zebulon tells you: - Tell: Makes me pass a message to somebody. - Greetings: Tell me how you want to be greeted. - Help: Explains the commands I understand. Zebulon tells you: - Arena: Notify about arena fights. Try 'help arena' to learn available sub-commands. Use 'help <module name>' for detailed help; example: 'help greetings'.
Using Google Search for crossfire BOT Zebulon I could only find this hit :
And maybe Zebulon (Ragnor's bot) could actually give statistics, if needed.
