Sorry it took so long to get those timers in there but there in there now and it works fine. Thanks Lucius
for suggesting the timers. I like the way it is now....here's the way i have them.

if (%gswitch != on) { msg $chan $ja $+ 9,1 There is no game in progress. To start a new game     type !numbergame  $+ $ja | unset %tries | unset %guesses | halt }
  .timermsg1 1 60 msg $chan $ja $+ 8,1 Game has auto stopped.  $+ $ja
  .timerguess1 1 60 set %gswitch off
  .timerguess 1 60 unset %tries unset %rn unset %guesses
