Perhaps in Help Families list what may stop considering? What you cannot do while engaged, married or in the bloodbonding period?


I believe those aside from the obvious of already being married, are bugs and should be reported when they happen.

Haemophilia and hypersomnia do both exist - angel bleeding gives haemophilia and moon tarot can give hypersomnia sometimes. Hypersomnia is cured by wormwood, haemophilia is cured by yarrow.

HELP ARENA lists ARENAWATCH and UNWATCH as commands when they do not, in fact, exist. HELP ARENA also mentions karma (ie. Achaean karma) and devotion.

HELP GUILDARTIFACTS does not have the Glomdoring artifacts.

I know there's a lot of defunct help files out there, if I find or remember any others I'll add them...

I suggest HELP STUPIDNAMES, for all these novices to read when they come in with a name like Druidsftw or Spamhamster

17.2.5 IBOTG / IBOG - the Irregular Battle of the Genders

This is a worldwide game of EGGHUNT (see HELP EGGHUNT) with SHARING and NOPK
options. In it, the contestants share their eggs in order to demonstrate their
gender's abilities in planning and coordination.


An extension of a non-existent HELP EGGHUNT..? blink.gif

I've never seen an IBOG in Achaea, but not only the idea - the name itself sounds retarded. Yes, delete this file please, the sooner the better.

I'm very glad I missed that monstrosity.

"Hey, I hate you because you're from a different organisation, but you're a guy/girl just like me so we'll be best friends and teammates for the whole goddamn event! Yay!"

Wait, I had a thought - what about genderbenders? You traitor!

Keep this thread on topic. If you have something to say and it isn't about a help file needing updated/removed/created say it elsewhere.

No help file lists the commands for ignoring news boards.

HELP READNEXT does, which is listed in HELP NEWS

This isn't HELP related so much as AB related, but nowhere are the commands DRL (which lists the contents of all dreamcatchers) or RBL (which lists the contents of all runebags) documented. They should be mentioned in AB DREAMWEAVING DREAMCATCHERS and AB RUNES RUNEBAGS respectively

Also, unless it was changed recently, nowhere is HEX DISPERSE, which disperses all of your hexes in the room, documented. I don't know where it would go, probably as an inept 0% skill in Hexes just so people know it's there. Not change anything, just have an AB file for it.

AB HEX DISPERSE
Syntax: HEX DISPERSE
This ability disperses all of the hexes you have drawn in your current location.

Doesn't, actually.

HELP MADNESS is all broken up and such. At least for me it is. I think someone c/ped it into the java editor and it got spazzed out.

I looked at the file and I can't see it broken up strangely. Is it possible for you to emulate a sample here of what it looks like to you?

HELP RESURRECTION (just says TBD, but should probably talk about how death/resurrection works in this world versus some other typical games and maybe mention how to IMMOLATE a body in the nexus or REINCARNATE at the Portal)

15.6.1 MADNESS

Adventurers are a special group of people. The Fates have given to adventurers

both strengths and weaknesses that denizens do not have. One of the weaknesses
to which an Adventurer may fall prey is insanity.

The first sign of insanity is when the poor victim starts to use words that are

meaningless to others, such as talking about "my PC" or "being online" as if
everybody else should know what it meant!

If the insanity is allowed to go unchecked, the victim may begin to believe
that the imaginary world is the real world and that Lusternia does not really
exist.

Some fancy that qualities of their own existence, such as their health, ego or

life experience are nothing more than numbers! Chilling, isn't it?

Most distressing of all is when the insanity appears more akin to a case of
possession by some vile, alien creature. Victims in this final stage may call
life a game, and imagine that they are nothing more than playing pieces in that

game, controlled by some greater being.

If you've been asked to read this scroll, consider this: have you been showing

signs of insanity? Are you willing to take the first step and admit that you
are ill and in need of a cure?

To those of you who see others suffering: insanity is a disease of the mind.
Those afflicted with it should not be ridiculed, as this tends to aggravate the

condition. Speak to them privately. Show them concern and understanding. Remind

them of their true reality and home here, in Lusternia!

Nobody wants to see insanity o'erwhelm us all.
