sign~
The rules you *must* obey once you perform a quest of Reason:
1) Do not tell anyone anything vital to the solution of a quest.
2) Do not tell anyone any secrets you learn after completing a quest.
3) Help a fellow follower of Order whenever possible.
4) Resist the whims of Chaos and his minions.
5) "Bow" to be transported to the Puzzle Master for your quest assignment.
6) Thou shalt "resign" if you give up on a quest.
7) Some of the quests require you to use abnormal commands (i.e.
"gut fish")
NOTE: Crashes are considered in the "tough luck" catagorie. Please don't
whine about them to me...if the world is unstable, don't try this area.~
