This is the immortal handbook.  In this you can read the strict and
incredibly well-enforced rules as briefly outlined in the 25-page
"Immortal Contract," by which you must abide upon being promoted to Legendary
status (ref. Section 5, Article 273, Line 49).

                                  Immortal Contract
                                    version 2.5.3.2.8b

to find a copy in the trash directories in one of the low-end P.D.I.F.'s
(Public Data and Informational Facilities).  Otherwise, here's the much
shortened and thoroughly less complicated version.]<<<<<

(1) Don't give direct aid to any mortal (especially your own).  The following
are examples of "direct aid:" giving items to mortals (except in cases of
reimbersement, where the mortal in question lost item(s) in a crash or
inexplicable MUD screw-up, and quest awards), no restoring them, no
helping them in a fight, no opening doors for them, no scouting the path,
no transfer/teleporting them, no giving them the statistics of a
mob/obj/room/shop, etc.  This does not mean that you can't help them in any
way; by all means, feel free to answer a newbie asking "where can I get some
food?" or when a grizzled vet asks you when the mutiny against the
co-dictatorship will take place.

(2) Don't abuse your powers.  You can play around a bit, but only up to
a certain extent.

(3) Don't overpunish anyone.  Stealing from another player's corpse, for
example, would not be followed by the thief having his hand cut off or being
deleted.

(4) Contribute.  Whether it be by building zones, bug/discrepancy hunting, or
contributing ideas, this is the undoubtably the most important thing that
any immortal can do, and we try to reward accordingly.
