SwiftKit
Description
Now, the most popular way to combine IRC and Runescape is through SwiftKit. SK is an extremely handy Runescape tool that is completely legal. It allows you to access a variety of options at your finger tips while playing RS.
About SwiftKit | Download SwiftKit
Entering #Rebelz In Swiftkit
1. Double click the program.
2. Click 'Launch' to begin.
3. Enter information for your SK profile (just used for settings if you use a shared computer).
4. You willl be brought to a window with news on SK and Runescape. Obviously you can start Runescape by clicking 'Play Runescape'. To enter the IRC, click 'Show Internal Utilities'.
5. Click on the yellow pac-man-like smiley face.
6. Enter your channel (#Rebelz) and Nickname information.
7. Click 'Connect'
Note
A smaller version of SK is supposed to be released as an add-on for Firefox rather shortly. With this update, Mac users will be able to use SK, although it's unclear whether an IRC client will be included.

Browser Based Java Clients
Description
Of course, the most common complaint about using SK for IRC is that it's not compatible or lags your computer. For those people, THIS LINK is a lifesaver. If you can play Runescape, your computer is compatible with this IRC client as it uses Java. This method would be good for Mac users.
On our forums, you may enter a browser based IRC Client by clicking 'Enter Chat' on the left side of the header.
Entering #Rebelz Through Browser - Click Here!
1. Click the link.
2. Enter Nickname.
3. Enter your desired channel; our channel is #Rebelz
3. Hit 'Enter Chat'

Installed Clients
Description
These IRC clients will be installed on your computer in some way, either as a separate program or as part of an existing program.
FireFox Add-On
If you use Firefox, there is an IRC add-on HERE that can be downloaded and installed. Unlike SK, or the other Browser based client, this IRC client will be installed directly into your browser. This is another good option for Mac users.

mIRC
mIRC is a client that will be downloaded directly to your computer as a program. Think of it as SK without anything except the IRC client. Although it may occasionally (or in my case, FREQUENTLY) ask you to pay or donate for its use, the program is free and you don't have to. To download mIRC, click here.

IV. 3rd Party Bots and Commands
Spoiler
Channel Bots
What are they?
So, who is that 'Milk' character that's ranked so high in #Rebelz? 'Milk' never talks to users, or answers PM's; so who or WHAT exactly, is it? The answer of course, is a channel bot. Channel bots help maintain the channel and keep everything running smoothly.
BotServ Commands
Examples
Common channel bot names include our own Milk, X, and Y.
____________________________________________________________________________
Stat Bots
RuneScript
This bot is one of the greatest Runescape tools available in IRC. It can track your experience over a certain period of time, update you on GE prices, and calculate the experience required for you to level up. It also comes with several "fun" commands, some of which are always worth a laugh.
RuneScript Commands
Genie
Similar to RuneScript, this bot can show you detailed information based on Runescape, as well providing a laugh with 'Fun' commands.
Genie Commands
____________________________________________________________________________
Miscellaneous Bots
iDM
Created to replicate an actual 'Death Match' from RS onto IRC, this bot can always provide some fun when doing something monotonous like fishing. You can DM other users in your channel, and save up the loot you pillage to buy more weapons, armor, and more. There's also a new clan system that allows you to join and create iDM clans.
iDM Commands
ChanStat
This bot has a rather simple but intriguing job. It sits in our channel 24/7 and records everything we say and do. It sorts its information on our channel and submits it to the chanstat site, where anyone is able to view it. If you want to see some 'stats' it has taken on #Rebelz, click the link below.
