3.7 CHANNELS AND USING THEM
A channel is way to communicate with a group - guilds, clans, cities, orders,
newbies, and even yelling and shouting. For all channels except clan channels,
HELP LANGUAGERULES apply.
The first channel for most is NEWBIE. Just type NEWBIE -message- and everyone
listening to the newbie channel will see the message. Other channels are:
Name Command For whom?
---- ------- ---------
City - CT - citizens (see HELP CITYCOMMANDS)
CGT - collegium (see HELP COLLEGIUM)
Clan - CLT - clan members (see HELP CLANCOMMAND)
Guild - GNT - guild novices (see HELP GUILDTELL)
GT - apprentices and full members
GTS - members of Guild Rank 5 and above
Market - MARKET - buying and selling, for level 11+
Newbie - NEWBIE - levels 1-30, and others helping them
Order - OTO - for the outer order
- OT - for the order proper
- OTI - for the inner order
Shout - SHOUT - levels 21+
Yell - YELL - anybody, to all in same local area
To turn most channels on, put ON after its name. Same with OFF. For example,
GNTON, NEWBIEOFF, etc. Exceptions: SHOUTSON and YELLSON.
Type CONFIG COLOUR to control how the guild messages appear to you.
Staying IN CHARACTER, and Other Restrictions
--------------------------------------------
Always stay in character (IC) on channels - you are playing the role of a
person in a magical world called Lusternia. Talk about real life, other muds,
or your favorite singer - this should all be done outside the game or, if you
must, use TELLS.
Be most careful with shouts - stay in character, watch language rules. Market
channel is only for buying and selling: no chatting please. Newbie channel is
for questions and answers about how to play the game: no chatting please. Most
other channels have their own rules, but are generally more tolerant of
chatting and general conversation.
All channels are subject to HELP LANGUAGERULES, except clan channels.
