Code: alias repeat1 { msg #<chan> <msg> timer 1 300 repeat2 } alias repeat2 { msg #<chan> <msg> timer 1 300 repeat3 } alias repeat3 { msg #<chan> <msg> timer 1 300 repeat1 } on !*:join:#: { if($nick != <nick>) { return } timer 1 300 repeat1 }

All 3 aliases contain msg #<chan> msg . Plus this will end up flooding your channel very soon because tones of timers begin with each join. I haven't exactly undesrtood what you wanna do so i can propose a fix.
