3.12 The Postal System
** Warning: sending a letter to any of your own alternate characters is NOT PERMITTED and considered seconds abuse (HELP SECONDS). Do NOT mail anything, even a blank letter, to one of your alternate characters! **
Each city has a post office, often located near the city bank. The basic idea is to first pay for and get a blank letter (REQUEST LETTER), then write in it (WRITE LETTER), seal it (SEAL LETTER), and then send it (MAIL LETTER TO <someone>).
Syntax:
REQUEST LETTER: Request a letter from the postal staff. Letters
are magical and can hold amazingly large things.
They cost 1 silver each. If you want to
include items, just PUT <item> IN LETTER before
you mail it. You can only request a letter while
at a post office.
WRITE LETTER: Compose a letter. You can write in a letter
from anywhere.
SEAL LETTER: Once you're satisfied with your message, you
must seal the letter before mailing it. After
a letter is sealed it may no longer be
edited or written upon again.
MAIL LETTER TO <whom>: Address and mail a letter to someone. You
must be at a post office to do this.
READ LETTER: Read whatever may be written on a letter. You
can do this from anywhere, provided the letter
is in your inventory or in your room.
RETRIEVE MAIL: When standing in a post office, you can retrieve
any incoming mail rather than waiting for the
letters to be delivered to you. (Note: letters
will only be delivered to you when you are
within the bounds of your home city.)
