                                   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)
