Here is where all your questions will be answered. But I must warn you, since we are short of help, we have our barkeep, Sarq, answering them and he can tend to be a little.....obnoxious. Well, read on, keep heart and don't let Sarq get to you too bad. We apologize in advance if he offends you. Thanks, -mgmt.
� � � � � ''What does it sound like? It means this isn't an RPG, no rules system. You play who you want, when you want, and do what you want. No stats or experience points or random combat encounters.''
Can I join?
� � � � �''You don't need to ask, just make a character, walk in, and start role playing. Or make an a nnoying character, walk in, and get ignored.''
Is magic allowed?
� � � � �''Sure, you can do magic, we get lots of magic users here. Just avoid the God PC trap, you know 'I'm an all powerful dweeb, I can't be harmed by you and I can erase you with a thought' because that will just get you ignored''
Are guns allowed?
� � � � �''Since we get visitors from differant dimentions, guns are allowed. But don't try and come in here with your BFG 2000 and blow everyone away, power playing isn't really appreciated, and if you make a mess, I get angry... I hate cleaning.''
Why can't I kill everyone? My character is a god..
� � � � �''Would you want your character that you've been playing for 5 years to get killed? I didn't think so. If you want to do something major, like harm someone, ask the mun first, it's just polite. If you appear and slice off someone's head, you're just going to get ignored.''
What is a 'mun'?
� � � � �''You are. The mun is the boring little person who is sitting at the computer and pretending that they are someone else... you know... maybe you should get a life.''
How do I order a drink?
� � � � �''You ask the bartender... that would be me. Just say 'order' followed by what you want, like 'order a beer', no quotes please. To order for someone else, add an exclamation point, '!order a beer for Bill'. After that, you tip me by saying 'tip amount' like 'tip 2 silver'.... if you don't tip me, I get cranky... you wouldn't like me when I'm cranky.''
How long should my description be?
� � � � �''It's really up to you, let people know what they are looking at, but don't tell things they can't see. Like '________ am a man who's favorite colour is red'... people like to brag about their magic and stuff in descriptions. At max, it shouldn't be longer than 4 or 5 lines, after that you start flooding people.''
What does the @ mean before a nick?
� � � � �''It means that person has ops and can do fun still like changing the topic, and kicking annoying people out of the channel. Don't start whining for ops either! If we need more ops, we'll look, otherwise, you'll just annoy us.''
How do I do an Action?
� � � � �''Geeze, you're pathetic. Newbies *mutter*. Anyway just use /me before something, like '/me is starting to annoy Sarq' ''
How do I change the topic?
� � � � �''Unless you're an op, you don't. If you want to do it in some other channel, its /topic (new topic). Like '/topic Welcome to my little channel that isn't as good as DRC'. If you have a wedding or something you want people to know about, ask an op if it can be put in the topic.''
How do I send a private message to someone in the channel?
� � � � �''Trying to talk behind my back I see... oh well, keep your little secrets. Either you can double click on their name in the list to open a query window, or you can type /msg nick message, like '/msg Sarq your the coolest'. Its useful when your whispering to another character, using telepathy, or talking to the mun without cluttering up the channel.''
What kind of language is acceptable?
� � � � �''English preferably, most of us don't speak anything else. Cursingwise... we'll accept a few 'bad words' if the character or situation rates it, but remember, you don't know how old the muns are out there, so don't come in here cursing up a storm, and theres always deletions like '**** you' and the ever popular '/me curses' ''
How do I make a character?
� � � � �''This is the hard part... it requires you to think. Just come up with a species (dragons are the best of course... espesially mechanical... but if you make one, I'm, suing you). Give your character a past, a personality, an appearance... that's a good start.''
What do these (( )) < > [ ] symbols mean?
� � � � �''It means OOC, Out of Character. It's when you want to say something, not your character. Like << I got to go, a storm is brewing here >> and other things like that. If you say something without brackets, your character is saying it.''
< m >, < vvq >, < w >, < s >, etc.......what are those?
� � � � �''In order asked, its 'mutters' 'very very quietly' 'whispers' and 'softly.' Use it before you say something to someone. For example '
� � � � �''That's when people are speaking in another language. So unless you speak that language too... you can't understand them, get it? w- look, I'm talking in wolf-speak! I'm bi-lingual! -w''
� � � � �''Because I don't like you, you whine too much and ask annoying questions. Besides that... I'm a bot! I respond to bot commands, and besides that, I just sit there and look handsome. Unless someone is remote controlling me at the time, I'm not gonna do anything. Doesn't mean you can't talk to me, though, I have feelings too! If you prick me, do I not bleed? ... ok, bad example...''
� � � � �''That means telepathy. Unless the person is talking to you, broadcasting to the whole room, or you have some extra mental powers, you can't hear it, got it?''
� � � � �''The characters might be busy. If you walk in as they are battling Grishnor, the beast from hell, they are unlikely to stop and say 'hi' to you as you walk in. Maybe they are caught up in their own thoughts, or busy talking with someone, or maybe they are just rude. But try and interact with people if you want people to interact with you. And that doesn't mean trying to kill them.''
� � � � �''Dice are used for when you go to the arena and have a battle or spar. Usually you should leave it up to the other player if that dagger you tossed hits him or not. Rolling dice in the Cafe will usually just annoy people, so if you wanna have a dice battle, invite someone off to the arena (#Dragon_Rock_Coliseum). Usual command is /2d20, 15s and above do 1 damage, 20s do 2. I do the calculations when you roll because... I'm smarter and faster at it than you are, besides, humans cheat.''
� � � � �''Whatever your little heart desires. The sky's the limit, or your brainpower is the limit. Just ask others if you make a character that involves them. Don't create someones long lost sister without permission.''
