How to talk like a MUDder



MUDders usually abbreviate. Here are a few abbreviations and what they mean:
* 'LO = Hello
* GTG= Got to go
* BRB= Be right back
* BBL= Be back later
* BBS= Be back soon
* BBIAB= Be back in a bit
* LTNS= Long time, no see
* C U= See you
* ?= What?
* TNL= Experience till next level
* EXP or XP= Experience
* CUZ= Because
* DES or DESC= Description
* PRAC= Practice
* SAC= Sacrifice
* MUD= Multi-User Dungeon

QUESTING


The questmaster, Questmaster Kim, is 2 north and one east of the recall point. What she will do, is if you ask her for a quest, she will give you either a mob at your aproximate level to kill, or an object to fetch. The instructions go as follows:
* Enter her home
* Type 'quest request'
* She will tell you what your quest is. Go kill the mob or fetch the object. If you need help, just ask, the mortals are glad to help
* Once you have completed your quest, recall
* Go back to Kim, and type 'quest complete'
* She will give you questpoints, with which you can buy quest items

Here are the quest commands. You must type 'quest' before each command:
* request
* points
* info
* time
* complete
* abandon
* list
* buy

CLANS


A Clan is a collection of players, united to follow and further a common cause. Only Clan members can kill or steal from other players. To join a Clan you must be level 5 or above and level 25 or below. Speak to the Clan Leader about joining. If you go Loner before level 25 you may join a Clan later. Joining a Clan is a dangerous step. Many adventurers live to kill and torture others and chances are that your paths will cross. Remember, attacking or killing fellow clan members IS illegal except to mutiny your Clan leader. Existing Clans may buy special rooms and mobiles by acquiring diamonds or questpoints as payment. To form a new clan, see the instructions in "help new clan" and send your request to the immortals. Please remember that their word is final on all matters not covered by this help.
On Argonne, mortals are allowed to start clans of their own creation. However, to prevent people from abusing the right to make new clans, the requirements are very strict and difficult to achieve. No exceptions will be made.

The minimum requirements to start a clan are as follows:
* 5 or more distinct mortal (51 and under) characters.
* 1 sponsor immortal (52+)
* 5000 quest points among all five characters.

The sponsor immortal may be an alternate character of one of the mortals. No single mortal may supply more than 1500 quest points to the total. In addition, one (and only one) of the mortal characters must be designated as the clan "Leader" at the time of its creation.

MULTI-PLAYING



Multi-playing, or having more than one player on at a time is legal. You will not get into trouble for that, so don't worry. However, assisting your character IS illegal, and if this happens in any way (dropping stuff for another of your characters, giving eq, assisting in levelling, spellups), you WILL be severely punished.
