the description of this script is rife with casuistry and nonsense. however, this submission does certainly bring back memories.

what i see here is a little excerpt from IRC history. back in the early 2000s, the network i used to frequent (WebNet) was inexplicably populated by a disproportionately large demographic of Malaysian and Thai users. apparently IRC went mainstream in these places, and of course the scripting scene saw an influx of foreign scripters.

the thing i've observed with these scripters (or, at least, the vocal ones who crossover to the English speaking communities and release their scripts) is that they unfailingly end up creating elaborate war scripts and pride themselves on being pseudo-hackers. here are a few examples of what i mean, just from this site:

http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/2705/ - ForeEver HeLLKick [For War]

http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/6045/ - X-Force War Script v1.0

http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/5390/ - Simple revenge kick war

http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/4404/ - Clone War Revenge Kick with Single and/or Shifting Socket

http://www.hawkee.com/snippet/6726/ - WATCHER WAR2 (counter kick on war channel)

i suppose the source of this misdirected enthusiasm for useless scripts will always be a mystery to me. unfortunately, there is usually a significant language barrier; i cannot hope to effectively communicate to Ritchel the futility of using double hashing in mIRC to optimize hash table data retrieval, for example. it's a shame, some of the code looks quite clever :P i've just never understood the appeal of malicious coding.
