.DT Multiple Characters $MUDNAME$ concepts help Multiple Characters .SH Overview .SP 5 5 We believe the MU in MUD stand for Multi and User respectively. As such, the environment of the mud allows real people to interact with other real people in a fantasy or theme environment. Logging multiple characaters to better yourself either by giving money, equipment or skills, or using one character to assist another in any way, detracts from this. Simply defined, it would be cheating. Therefore any infringement would result in removal of all your characters. .EP .SP 5 5 The rule therefore is that you must treat your characters as entirely separate -- as though they were owned by different people. Using one of your characters to assist another in any way, shape or form is considered multiplaying and against the rules. Furthermore you must never have more than one of your characters logged in at the same time. .EP .SH Specifics .SP 5 5 The following is a short summary of the rules on multiplaying: .EP .SO 5 2 65 - You may not have more than one character logged in at the same time. - You may not log in one character, drop items or cash, log out, and then log in another character to collect it. - You may not post items from one of your characters to another. - Switching between characters to have one assist the other in any way, such as in an NPC or PK fight, or to guard the other's corpse, is considered multiplaying. - Two people sharing a keyboard is considered multiplaying. - Two players using networked PCs may play if they provide valid, unique email addresses. .EO .SP 5 5 Please note that violation of the multiplaying rules can result in the deletion of all the characters involved. .EP See also .SI 5 chfn .EI
