War - Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------------------------------
(Q) If I die, does it carry over to the mud?
(A) Changes made to your character during
the war will not be saved. So if you die,
lose your money, or anything, when the war
is over your old character will be back.
(Q) What does happen when I die?
(A) Once you die in the war, you will be destructed
and will not be allowed to enter until the war
is over. Any experience gained from war
victories will be awarded when you log into the
mud again.
(Q) How do I heal during a war?
(A) All pubs/healing shops will be closed for the
entire duration of the war. You can heal,
though, by eating the corpses of slain players
and by buying healing potions with your
'purchase points' (displayed by typing list
after the war has begun).
(Q) What do I fight with during the War?
(A) Everyone will be provided with free weapons and
armor. However, if you prefer, you may go out
and hunt down your own weapon/armor.
(Q) What happens if I survive?
(A) You are awarded bonus experience points the
next time you log into the mud.
(Q) Are there any restrictions or rules of engagement?
(A) Macros (keys set to enter multiple commands
upon a keystroke) and Trigger programs (those
designed to send commands when a particular
line of text is received) are ILLEGAL!
Beyond that, there are no rules.
(Q) What happens if I lose my link during a war?
(A) If you quit during the war you will instantly forfeit.
You will also forfeit if you are linkdead when the
voting on the type of war ceases and the war begins.
You may not necessarily forfeit if you lose your
link afterward, but other players will be free to
kill you. If you should die or lose your link,
there is a special viewing room where you can watch
the progress of the war.
(Q) Can I save my equipment before the war begins?
(A) There are locker rooms placed strategically around
Tsunami. The 'shop' command will take you to the
nearest general shop, and a locker room will be
located nearby. This command is active in the
5 minutes that precede the mud shutting down in
preparation for war.
(Q) What if I log into the war late? Is there anything
to do while I wait for the mud to come back up?
(A) There are rooms with simulated card games that
you may use to pass the time should you so desire.
