BOARDS READ WRITE RESPOND

Usage: look board
       write <headline>
       read <number>
       respond <number> <headline>
       remove <number>

Bulletin boards are the forum of inter-player communication on the MUD. There
are different bulletin boards for different purposes -- for example, a
standard mortal board and a board for immortals.  Naturally, not all players
may be allowed to read all types of boards.

Example:

  > look at board
  > write Am I using these boards correctly?
  > look at board
  > read 6
  > remove 6

FLAGS

Players sometimes have FLAGS after their names in the WHO list.  These flags
are always in parentheses, not brackets or braces.

  FLAG        MEANING
  ----------- ---------------------------------------------------------
  (KILLER)    Player is trying to kill other players.  That means you
              can try to kill him/her without being flagged.
  (PIRATE)    Player is trying to steal from other players.  Fire away.
  (invis)     Player is invisible; you can see him/her because you are
              sensitive to the presence of invisible things.
  (writing)   Player is writing on the board; do not disturb.
  (mailing)   Player is writing mail; do not disturb.
  (deaf)      Player has chosen not to hear shouts.
  (notell)    Player has chosen not to accept tells.
  (!ooc)      Player is deaf to OOC (similar channels have similar flags)

LINK

A lot of players have problems with their links to the game.  This can be very
hazardous to your health in the middle of a battle, of course.

 I. If your link is broken, you will automatically attempt to flee each time
    someone attempts to hit you.  If you manage to flee, then you will be
    saved by divine forces, and put in a safe place until you reconnect to the
    game.

II. If your link jams (freezes), you have a problem.  The only solution we can
    give is that you break your link as quickly as possible.  By breaking the
    link you can hope that the above procedure is initiated.

Do not try to get out of a fight by breaking link.  You will be not reimbursed
for any experience or equipment if you purposefully cut your link.

LAIRS

There are several different lairs in which mythical creatures dwell.  You may
claim the lairs once you have killed or enslaved the creature which lives 
inside them.  Lairs cannot be entered by anyone except their owner, just like
buildings, and they are a common status symbol among empires.
