#HELPS -1 ROT~ RoT is a ROM2.4 derived mud, which is originally based on the Merc 1.0 code. The RoT modifications to the ROM source are copyright 1996-1997 by Russ Walsh. ~ -1 ROM~ ROM started in early February 1993, using Merc 1.0 code. In July of 1993, ROM II was started, eventually replacing the original ROM. ROM was up for a little over a year, after which the code (version 2.3) was released, and various other ROM muds were started, including Rivers of Mud under a new management (Zump's ROM), at rom.org 9000. Alander's current project is Tesseract, the latest version of the ROM code. It can be found at hypercube.org 9000. The following people contributed to the ROM flavor of the merc base code: Socials -- Kelsey and Liralen New, Improved Valhalla -- Liralen Puff's new special proc and improved poofin/poofout code -- Seth Maps and map shop -- Ezra, Regnan (Olympus) Nirvana zone -- Forstall (mobiles rewritten by Alander) Mob Factory -- Pinkfloyd (originally written for ROM, mobiles rewritten by Alander) Geographically correct Midgaard (tm) -- Alander Ideas and playtesting -- Thousands of dedicated mudders around the world Beta testing -- Ken Blosser, Doug Araya, and Sherene Neil all helped with bug reports and suggestions, saving a lot of headaches New Thalos area was donated by Onivel of Jedi, who was also the originator of the ASCII flags used in the zone files ROM 2.4 was developed during my time with Moosehead mud, and the release shares many of the features I wrote while I was there. Additional code was written by Seth Scott (the new poofin/poofout), and many contributions and ideas from the Merc list were used. The new features of 2.4 were largely produced in bull sessions with Gabrielle (my wife) and Brian Moore, without whom this release wouldn't have happened. In particular, the new privacy code, furniture, and wiznet are largely the results of Gabrielle's ideas. Changes to the standard diku mob and object format, as well as the changes to Merc 2.1 source code, were done by Alander over many a late night of hair-pulling. Hope you enjoy it. (my apologies if anyone was forgotten in this list) ~ -1 IMMORTALS IMMORTS GODS~ 'Immortal' (often, simply, 'immort') refers to players who have reached the highest attainable levels in the game. Here, anyone of level 102 or higher is an 'immortal.' Immortals are capable of exceeding the usual game rules, in more drastic and pervasive ways as levels increase; examples range from teleportation and invisibility to mortal sight to creation of objects, removal of a player's privileges (channels, ability to move, or even ability to log in), and ability to promote players to immortality. Since immortals can wreak havoc with game balance, they are (ideally) a carefully-chosen and policed group. An absolute rule of immortal behavior is that no immortal can aid or assist any player without explicit permission from the higher ranks; in other words, please don't ask an immortal to help you kill a mob, gather EQ, etc, or you'll likely be either politely or rudely refused, or referred to this file. The duties of immortals, and even the very reasons for their existence, are topics of continual and heated debate in various MUD forums, and are fraught with misconceptions, poor examples, and outrageous hypocrisies. :) ~ -1 SOCIALS~ This is a complete list of socials for this MUD: Compiled originally by: Sara accuse adjust air apologize applaud babble bark bcatch beckon beer bearhug beg bird bkiss bleed blink blush boast boggle bonk bounce bow brb burp cackle caress charge cheer chuckle clap claw collapse comfort comb cough cover cower cringe criticize cry cuddle curse curtsey dance daydream drool duck embrace explode eyebrow faint fart flare flash flex flinch flip flirt flutter fondle french frown fume gasp giggle glare goose grimace grin groan grope grovel growl grumble hand head hiccup highfive hop howl hug hush ignore innocent insane judge kiss knee laugh lick love lust massage meditate moan moon mosh mutter nibble nod nudge nuzzle pant passout pat peck pie pinch pissed plead point poke ponder pout pray propose puke punch purr ramble raspberry rofl roll rub ruffle run scratch scream serenade shake shiver shrug sigh sing slap slobber smile smirk snap snarl sneeze snicker sniff snore snort snowball snuggle sob spam spank spit squeal squeeze squirm stare stretch strip stroke strut sulk swoon tackle tease thank threaten tickle tip tongue twiddle type undress view wave whine whistle wiggle wince wink wonder worry worship yawn yeehaw yodel rose laces tank starve aargh homework puff differ yae lightbulb ogg confused beam twitch bite discodance scuff whap lag chortle zerbert ~ -1 MERC~ This mud is based on Merc 2.1, created by Furey, Hatchet, and Kahn.

Updated by Fade on 07/15/2001 ~ -1 PKILL PKILLING PKILLER 'PLAYER KILLING' PSTEAL PSTEALING 'PLAYER STEALING' PLAYERKILLING PLAYERSTEALING~ Player killing and player stealing is allowed to everyone, provided the victim is within 10 levels of the character. ~ 102 COMMANDMENTS LAWS 'GOD RULES' GODS~ . As an immortal, you are required to follow the follow rules: {c1{C){D Do not kill mortals because of personal reasons. This includes transferring/summoning them to aggressive mobs. {c2{C){D Do not cheat for ANY mortal in ANY way, especially your own. Unless of course you LIKE deletion. Yes this includes tanking, healing/restoring, casting protection spells <armor, sanct>, and softening up or altering mobs. {c3{C){D Do not transfer or summon mobs to mortals or mortals to mobs. They have legs, if they want to kill a mob, they can easilly go there themselves. {c4{C){D Do not give out free equipment. You don't need to win brownie points with the mortals. Quest are fine but handing out items isn't. {c5{C){D A note on quests: Quests are a good thing, but do not give out overly extravagant prizes. Exercise some common sense here. {c6{C){D Do not undermine the authority of a higher level god. If you see that someone has been frozen or nochannelled do not restore their priveleges. They are being punished for a reason. {c7{C){D Do not try to overrule each other. {c8{C){D If you punish a mortal, immediately post a penalty explaining why you did so and what happened. {c9{C){D Don't use the AVATAR mode to playerkill. Messing around with players is fun, attacking/killing someone without their consent is not. {c10{C){D Help players and keep in touch with them. Never ignore players just because you do not happen to overly like them. {c11{C){D Don't cheat. There is no greater disappointment than cheating immortals. {c12{C){D Don't punish people for having an opinion, even if it doesn't suit you. If someone tells you that you or something sucks, politely ask them for an explanation; then post a note to an higher ranking immortal explaining the incident, if you feel like doing so. But don't punish them right away. If you are building, follow the rules in {WHELP BUILDING{D. Updated by Fade on 07/15/2001 ~ -1 RULES~ These are the rules of Paradox MUD. For other matters, use common sense. For clan specific rules, see HELP CLANRULES. {c*{D Playerkilling and playerstealing is allowed to everyone, as long as the victim is in range (+/-10 levels). {c*{D If you join a clan, and someone either pkills you, or psteals from you, do not complain to the gods, or ask the gods to return your eq or do a corpse retrieval for you, as they are forbidden from doing so. {c*{D Do not interfere with players participating in player versus player fights if they are OOL (out of level, not in your range). Don't pick up disarmed weapons, cast healing or defensive spells, hand them items/potions, etc. But: You may always attack players in your range (if the gamestate and other restrictions allow it), even if (s)he is fighting a person out of your range. Breaking this rule will usually result in you being cornered. {c*{D Your presence here is a privilege not a right. Obey any orders from gods, and you will be fine. Deletion does not require a reason, appeals are to be sent to the implementors. {c*{D Sitting around idle with a client is hazardous to your health. If we catch you doing it, strange things may happen to your character. {c*{D If you need to swear, do so on the FLAME channel. Racist and/or sexist remarks (or remarks derising another person's religion or sexual preferences) won't be tolerated. Breaking this rule will usually result in you being nochanneled or even wiped/banned in extreme cases including repeated offenses. {c*{D No multiple logins, multiple playing, or helping your own characters with other characters you own -- by any arrangment. Breaking this rule will result in all involved characters being wiped. Repeat offenders are going to be banned. {c*{D No dupe talk. Characters must be kept separate. Breaking this rule (especially by revealing alts on open channels) will get you cornered or wiped in extreme cases. {c*{D Cheating will not be tolerated. This includes accepting favors from gods and exploiting bugs. If you find a bug, report it, then do not use it. Breaking this rule will result in all involved characters being wiped. If you cheat twice, you are going to be banned. {c*{D Do not ask a god to make you a member of a clan. The request to add you to a clan must come from the clan leader. Ask a member of the clan who their leader is. (Or use {WCLAN LIST{D.) {c*{D Changes to these rules are at the discretion of the immortals, and may be done without warning, notice, or even evidence of sanity. Updated by Fade 07/15/2001 ~ -1 CLANRULES~ {c1{C.{D Do NOT join any clan until you investigate ALL clans. {c2{C.{D Once you join a clan, you must STAY WITH THAT Clan. No switching clans, abandoning your clan mates, etc.; the point of joining a clan is to use TEAMWORK. That means when you get pkilled, you ask your CLAN MATES to retrieve your corpse, re-equip you, help you avenge your death, etc. Do not count on the IMMs for help. Switching clans will only be allowed in exceptional cases. {c3{C.{D If you get pkilled, you will *NOT* be reimbursed ANY eq by the IMMs; this includes edited EQ, items of sentimental value, quest items, etc. {c4{C.{D Clanned characters are not allowed to ask for or receive ANY kind of IMM-related help; this includes corpse retrievals, spellups, assistance locating chars, reimbursements, etc. {c5{C.{D If you are a clan leader, you are expected to MUD on a regular basis. If you do not actively play your character for three weeks, and have not found a replacement, you will be removed as leader. {c6{C.{D Clanned players/leaders must be between level 21 and 101. {c7{C.{D In order to form a new clan, you must follow these rules: {ma{M.{D Have FOUR people involved in forming the clan {mb{M.{D Have a PURPOSE for creating and maintaining the clan {mc{M.{D Find an IMM to sponsor you (this MUST be a level 103 or higher; they can not already be involved in sponsoring another clan) {md{M.{D Have your area files READY TO BE INPUT. {c8{C.{D You must ALWAYS have at least four members of your clan ACTIVELY PLAYING the game. This means that if your membership drops to less than four members for more than one week, your clan will be disbanded and dropped from the list of clans. {c9{C.{D As a member of a clan, you are expected to assist other members of your clan. This includes spellups, corpse retrievals, levelling, etc. {c10{C.{D If you reroll a clan leader, you must find three current members of your clan to "sponsor" you back into the leader position. The three members can email, note, or verbally give their nominations to the immortals. Updated by Fade 07/15/2001 ~ -1 SUICIDE DELETE~ Use the delete command to erase unwanted characters, so the name will be available for use. This command must be typed twice to delete a character, and you cannot be forced to delete. Typing delete with an argument will return your character to 'safe' status if you change your mind after the first delete. Second tier players should use reroll to recreate a character, instead of the delete command. ~ -1 REROLLING REMORTING~ The reroll command may be used once you reach hero status in the first tier of classes, or at any time while playing a second tier character. This command must be typed twice to reroll a character, and you cannot be forced to reroll. Typing reroll with an argument will return your character to 'safe' status if you change your mind after the first reroll. You will have to re-create your character, but will be given the second tier classes to choose from, instead of the first tier classes. (see '{Whelp tier{D') After rerolling, you will start out in your new class at level 1, so this command is similar to deleting and recreating your character. ~ -1 TIER CLASSES~ There are currently eighteen classes in ParadoX MUD, split into two tiers. 1st tier classes: {GW{gizard {GP{griest {GM{gercenary {GG{gladiator {GS{gtrider {GS{ghaman {GL{gich {GS{ghaolin {GA{gssassin{D 2nd tier classes: {CS{corcerer {CB{cishop {CB{clade {CK{cnight {CG{cuardian {CE{clder {CN{cecromancer {CS{censai {CD{ceathmaster{D The second tier classes are notably stronger than the first tier classes, but you cannot create a character in these classes until you reach the hero level in a first tier class. (see 'help reroll') You DO NOT have to choose the second tier class that is in the same slot as the first tier class, ie: a wizard does not have to become a sorcerer, you are given the option of choosing any of the classes. Playerkilling and playerstealing between the two tiers is ALLOWED. ~ -1 HEALER~ The healer decided to grab a quick buck, and now charges for his heals. Some services are still free to players of level 30 or below, however. To see a full listing of the healer's services, type 'heal' at his residence. To receive healing, bring plenty of money, and type 'heal <spell>'. ~ -1 GAIN~ The gain command is used to learn new skills, once the proper trainer has been found. (Check Shadun) The following options can be used with gain: gain list: list all groups and skills that can be learned gain points: lower your creation points by 1 (costs two sessions) gain <name>: add a skill or skill group, at the listed cost gain convert: turns 6 practices into one training session gain study: turns 1 training session into 6 practices Gain uses training sessions, not practices. (see 'help train') Gained skills and groups do NOT increase your experience per level or total number of creation points. ~ -1 RESTRING~ Syntax: restring obj <short|long|name> <description> The restring command is used to change the name/short description/long description of an object in your inventory. Only specific trainers have the ability to restring an object for you (Check Shadun), and charge you {WRestring Tokens{D (buy them at the questmaster). {Wrestring obj short xyz{D - changes the short description of an object; this is what you see when it is in your inventory or worn (or picked up, etc.) {Wrestring obj long xyz{D - changes the long description of an object; this is what you see when it is lying on the ground and you look into the room ('The xyz is lying here, glinting with menace.') {Wrestring obj name xyz{D - changes the keywords or names of an object; these are names you can use for identifying the object; 'restring sword name sword blade razor' will let you type 'wield sword', 'wield blade', 'wield razor' (also 'wield sword blade razor') For example: Object to be restrung is '{DS{yu{Yn {YS{yw{Do{xr{Yd{D', > restring sword short {{RF{{rire {{RB{{rlade This will now show up as '{RF{rire {RB{rlade{D' in your inventory, and will use this string in actions: '<char> wields {RF{rire {RB{rlade{D' or '<char> gets {RF{rire {RB{rlade{D'. Because the keywords of the object are not changed, to wield or manipulate this object, you will still need to use 'sword' or 'sun', ie: get sword wield sword To change the keywords, use 'restring sword name fire blade'. This will cost another {WRestring Token{D though. Last updated by Fade, 07/17/2001 ~ 102 CLONE~ Syntax: clone obj <object> clone mob <mobile> clone <name> The clone command duplicates an object or mobile. The level of item or mobile that may be cloned depends on your level. The target object or mob must be in the same room as you, or in your posession. Strung and set information is preserved by clone, as well as any spell effects and container contents or mobile inventory, except for items which are too high for you to clone. Strung extended descriptions on objects are not kept, however. ~ 110 RANDCLAN~ Syntax: randclan Randclan will move the entrances to all clan halls to new randomly selected locations. This is automatically done by the system at boot, and once per day thereafter, but can be called by an implementor to correct any problems in the choice of locations from the last automatic run. ~ -1 SKILLS SPELLS~ The skills and spells commands are used to display your character's list of available skills (or spells, as the case may be). They are listed in order of level, with mana cost (for spells) or percentage (for skills) listed where applicable. ~ -1 OUTFIT~ The outfit command, usable by levels 9 and below, equips your character with a new set of sub issue gear (banner, weapon, helmet, shield, and vest), courtesy of the Mayor's warehouses. Only empty equipment slots are affected. ~ -1 AUTO AUTOLIST AUTOLOOT AUTOGOLD AUTOSAC AUTOEXIT AUTOASSIST AUTOSPLIT AUTOSTORE AUTOPEEK~ ROT uses varies automatic actions, to ease the boredom of always splitting gold and sacrificing corpses. The commands are as follows: autolist : list all automatic actions autoloot : take all equipment from dead mobiles autogold : take all gold from dead mobiles autosac : sacrifice dead monsters (if autoloot is on, only empty corpes) autoexit : display room exits upon entering a room autosplit : split up spoils from combat among your group members autoassist: makes you help group members in combat autostore : saves all tells during combat autopeek : will show inventory during a look <char> (with the peek skill) Typing a command sets the action , typing it again removes it. ~ -1 PRICES PRICE~ {CC{clan {Cp{crices{D: The only payment accepted are the clan tokens available at the questmaster (for the price of 100 aquest points). {c*{DBasic clanhall: 15 clan tokens Please note that the decision whether your proposed clan is put in or not is mainly dependant on the quality of your proposal, and not on the amount of clan tokens you are willing to pay. A basic clan hall includes a recall room, a clan healer, a donation pit, a clan comm, a piece of furniture to sleep on/in/at and an exit to Shadun Market Place. {c*{DClan maintenance: 1 clan token per two members and month The clan dues have to be paid at the end of the month. If you don't have the necessary amount, rooms and/or clan items will be shut down/removed or your clan will be disbanded. {c*{DBasic potion shop: 10 clan tokens This includes one potion. {c*{DEvery new potion: 5 clan tokens Your clan can not have more than 5 different potions, so choose wisely. Only potions to be found in the game can be sold in your potion shop. {c*{DClan trainer: 7 clan tokens {c*{DEvery portal: 3 clan tokens {c*{DEvery additional room: 3 clan tokens {c*{DClan equipment: to be decided on a case by case basis Not possible: {r-{Dinfinite supplies of hero equipment {r-{Ditems better than regular items in the game {r-{Dnoremove weapons {r-{Detc., use common sense Clan skills/clan guards might be available at a later date. Last updated by Fade, 07/28/2001 ~ -1 COUNT~ The count command displays the number of people (that you can see) logged into the mud. It also displays the highest number observed that day, if it is higher. ~ -1 GATE GATING GATEING 'GATE RULES'~ The gate spell is a powerful transportation magic that opens up a portal between your character and another person or creature somewhere else in the world. This portal will transport you and any pet you might have, but not other members of your group. All players {RC{rAN NO{RT{D gate... {c* {Dout of no recall areas. {c* {Dinto no recall areas. {c* {Dinto unlinked areas. {c* {Dinto clanhalls. {c* {Dinto safe rooms (unless the world is in {GP{ga{Wr{Da{Wd{go{Gx{D). {c* {Dto mobiles more than three levels above them.

Last updated by Fade, 07/17/2001 ~ -1 AFFECTS AFFECT~ This command is used to show all the spells affecting your character. At low levels, only the spell name will be displayed, at higher levels the effects and duration of the spell will also be shown. Spell effects are no longer shown on score (this can be changed by using 'show' command). ~ 0 $~ #$
