Common Tsunami terms
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
newbie - you (or anyone new to the game)
AC - armour class (the higher, the better) is how much physical
protection you have.
WC - weapon class. All weapons have a WC which dictates how much
damage they do (the higher the better). There is a penalty,
however, for wielding a weapon that is too powerful. If your
weapon is a bit too nice for your level, you will be informed
[see "help ego" and note that it applies to armour as well as
weapons].
special - sometimes a weapon will have a special attack, which just means
that on every hit that you do, there is a certain % chance that
the weapon will perform some other function as well (usually
this just amounts to extra damage for that attack, but other
specials exist as well)
sp - spell points (needed for spells/prayers/songs and some of the
skills)
hp - hit points (the amount of damage you can take before dying)
wimpy - you can set your 'wimpy'. which simply means that if you're in
a fight and your hps drop to the wimpy amount or lower, you
will try to run away (known as wimpying)
exp - experience (what you want. what you need. what you must get.)
channel - a way of talking to many people. [see "help channel"]
pk - player kill. This is a PK mud, though as a newbie, you have
protection.
COT - Center of Town (mainland Tsunami)
