After logging in, there are several pieces of information about the server which the client may request:
To request a list of game types which the server supports, the client should as for the game list via the tag LIST. The server will then send the client the list of supported games via a RESULT tag which encloses a LIST. Only games which are supported by both the particular client and the server may be played.
To request a list of the game rooms present on the server, clients should send a LIST tag with the room parameter. The server will then send back a LIST (again, within a RESULT tag) with the desired information.
If the server has a message-of-the-day, it will send it to the client upon login (see the section on logging in). The client may request to see it again, however, by sending MOTD. If there is a message-of-the-day, the server will send it via MOTD. If it does not exist, the server will ignore the request.
Some infomration about the server may change while the player is logged in. If this occurs, the server will send an update notification.
