#1 and what you just asked for are not the same thing.

This is what you just asked for. I won't do the first for you. As mentioned, it is a war script and is stupid to use.

Code:
on @1000:join:#: {
  mode $chan +o-o $nick $me
}


Just put your friends into your user list with 1000 as their level. This will op the first friend who joins and deop yourself, as you requested.
