PoolRotater runs automatic osu!lazer multiplayer lobbies: join a room, play together, and help choose what comes next. This wiki explains the controls and the reasoning behind them.

• Your first session — joining, downloading, readying up, and playing.
• Choose a lobby — Standard automatic difficulty, Standard fixed difficulty, Mania 7K, or Mania 4K.
• Command reference — examples, aliases, and lobby restrictions.
• How the bot works — difficulty, queues, feedback, and Mania styles.
• Get help — countdowns, missing replies, and unexpected maps.

The owner runs the v7 distributed build, retaining the familiar gameplay and saved room settings. Published installers and release notes are listed in release history. Existing hosts receive updates through their saved policies: worker-compatible releases roll per empty room; shared-controller releases wait for all configured rooms to empty naturally. Publication, queueing and activation are separate facts. See Live Lobbies for current rooms and hosting a lobby to get started.

Community hosting adds independently hosted rooms, full prepared catalogs and optional directory/feedback participation. Consenting community rooms can share the website's lobby cards, map art, settings and estimated progress when the required observations are available. Hosting a lobby explains how to contact Papapyrus for onboarding files and site integration, and full catalogs versus research data explains the smaller downloads.

The homepage patch-note link follows release history. The automated command inventory has its own verified-source/version labels; it does not automatically establish every deployed worker version. Staff kick, permanent and temporary bans remain available. Operator duration policy and saved tuning are separate from release defaults: see duration policy and .pool. See how to contribute and the glossary. Historical notes retain the earlier release naming.

• Practical session controls — starts, waits, votes, feedback, and privacy.
• Choosing Mania styles — canonical commands, queued maps, fallback, and Farm.
