A wooden door hanging on one hinge leads northeast to the brighter and cleaner town square.is briefly visible in the dim light.A bleak, squalid building with cracked plaster walls and no electricity to light it. You catch only brief glimpses of people huddling on cots or in corners when the dim light filtering through the holes in the walls and ceiling passes over their forms.The directory section is not removable.foolishly tried to rob the Wizard!You see The Wizard.You cannot even begin to think about lifting such a heavy statue.looks at the statue of Garrett, and grins.You see two statues, carved out of a single piece of marble. One is a panda, waist height to a man, who looks at you with big panda eyes. The other is a human, male, sitting lazily on the ground. He has an enormous grin on his face as he scratches the panda behind the ears. The panda looks pleased. On the man's shoulder is a dragon, three-headed, two-tailed.You pick up and examine the heavy statue, using your Wizardly powers to make it light as air in your hands.You notice the Lynx's clear crystalline fangs gleaming brightly at you.picks up and examines the statue of Lynx.is about to vandalize the Lynx statue but draws back from the crystal fangs.A shining golden statue of a long-tailed Lynx prowling through an unseen jungle rests here. The Lynx has brilliantly crystalline fangs and claws of great sharpness, but his large sapphire eyes gleam with warmth and affection, and his tufted ears are focused at you attentively. The statue's fur is so well crafted that the Lynx seems very cuddlesome and cute indeed.The statue weighs approximately 1 ton, and is extremely solid.The statue of Myrth the Shapeshifter is missing- the pedestal reads "Myrth" but there are only 4 broken stone pegs in approximately the places where paws would rest. Upon closer examination, you see graffiti scratched in the base reading "The essence of Shapeshifting is freedom."You creak open the door and emerge on a busy thoroughfare.creaks open the door to the northeast and leaves.A wooden door with chipped paint hangs on one hinge. You glimpse the brighter town square through the gap between the door and its frame.The alabaster statue of Stewy is much too heavy to lift.reaches into another dimension, retrieves a Coke bottle, and take a drink from it.A regal-looking statue, made of alabaster, Stewy is carrying his ever-present Coke Classic(tm) bottle. He is clothed in a knitted sweater, bearing the pattern of the Liverpool longshoremen. A hint of a smile crosses his face, as he strokes his beard, and peers out to sea. Tucked in at his waist is a rolled up map, labeled: TINYMUD SITES.You fall through a loophole in the program!You are reluctant to venture further into the shadows.falls through a loophole in the program!All around you are the ruined walls of the dilapidated building. You see only dark shapes in the shadows wherever you turn, except to the northeast.The signpost is deeply driven into the ground.On the mahogany signpost, long pentagonal slabs marked with burnt engravings point to distant venues. North: Unicorn Point 3. East: Temple 1/3, Covenant Beach 1. South: Zariski Lighthouse 1.Even if the statue's sheer weight weren't enough to keep you from taking it, the weight of all its grievances would.This once blocky piece of dirty red sandstone has been roughly knocked, beaten, and chipped into the figure of a man. The top of the statue seems to be most defined, and the bottom least, as if he were caught rising from the depths of formlessness. He gazes back at you; his eyes are filled with a great sadness, but are also comforted by true friendship, as you can see by their warm inner glow.King Street is north, Government Street east, TransPort south, MedFaire west.A large oak tree spreads its branches over a wooden kiosk covered with announcements in the grassy center of the square. Park benches line the sidewalks amidst flowery shrubs. You see the library to the northeast, the post office to the southeast, the homeless shelter to the southwest, and the hotel and convention hall to the northwest.This dark path leads from the outside world into The Temple. A raised stone pathway runs inward to the east, and back out to the west. Cold stone statues sit high up in the darkness, judging passers-by with scrutinizing eyes. Thick, rich curtains, the color of dried blood, line the north and south walls of this dark hallway; they seem to move slightly due to some mysterious presence. One might imagine that the curtains were stained by drippings from the statues' mouths.You creak open the door, and enter a dark, dusty, damp building.enters the homeless shelter to the southwest.Southwest lies a dusty, damp, dilapidated building.You check to make sure no one is looking before you pick up the poster.looks about furtively and picks up the poster.Someone has apparently bought but forgotten to take his poster of an alicorn in flight. The alicorn is a gleaming black, a patch of night sky against an eternal blue, with fluffy clouds and a radiantly glowing sun behind it; it would make a marvelous souvenir.The dark, rocky ceiling of this place spreads in a wide circle above the room, receding into darkness toward its centermost point. Travellers from strange lands, both near and far, lurk among the shadows, hot smoke, and flickering red light cast by the pit, waiting to drop sacrifices to the deity of their choice. The entry archway lies to the west; a wide, stone-cut doorway leads north, while a narrow passageway leads south, down into darkness.You pass through the eastern arch, into the dark, smoke-filled Temple Proper.passes through the arch to the east.The arch to the east seems to lead to a hotter, more active place.You go back through the archway.There's no way the Temple guards would ever let you leave with that sign; what would you want to carry it around town for, anyway?leaves the Temple.The arch to the west now seems rather inviting; you long to escape from the smoke, heat, noise, and confusion.You pass to the south, down a steep, narrow flight of stairs.passes through the doorway to the south.The way to the south has been marked by the scuffling of uncounted feet.This place seems to have been, at one time, a store or trading post. A counter lies along the floor on the southern half of the room, and empty shelves line the walls. Various forms of debris line the floor, and a large scaffold sits by the west wall. A narrow doorway leads steeply north, back to the temple proper. A few torches mounted high on the walls keep the room alight.You climb back up the stairway, returning to the temple.You can't seem to get the bulky golden sign to fit through the stairway; it's just a bit too big, and its weight isn't helping either.returns to the temple.tries to fit a rather bulky object through the stairway to the north, but cannot!This thin stairway to the north climbs rather steeply.This is an undecorated room with plain white walls. They only interesting features to the room are the doorway to the north, and the door to the south. An administrator stands here, since he has no chair, desk, or couch to aid in his comfort in any way whatsoever.You feel around in the southern curtain, and find what seems to be an open space behind it. You also find a slit in the curtain, through which you easily pass.rummages around in the curtains to the south, and seems to disappear in their folds!The curtains are thick, soft, and of a reddish-brown color; eerily, they seem to sway slightly in the darkness. They hang from the walls, near the ceiling, from just below the statues feet, almost as if the statues keep the curtains hanging by sheer weight. They hang down low, below the raised level of the path, almost touching the floor.You go back out through the doorway, swishing the curtains as you pass.exits to the north, swishing the curtains in passing.Your view out the doorway is blocked by a reddish-brown curtain.This form asks a whole bunch of easily understandable questions which don't seem to have any relevance to each other, or any aspect whatsoever of real life, for that matter. Questions such as "How much have you (maximum) paid for avocado in 27-59 except 42?" and "Consensual? If so: explain," make you feel like slapping whoever created this paper monstrosity.This form, fortunately (?), is the simple, easy version of a much longer form, hence the -EZ suffix. It consists of about 27 different pages, each of which must be filled out in septuplicate; needless to say, one must press down hard when writing. The regular print on this form is so small as to be almost unreadable; the fine print shows up as long, fuzzy horizontal lines. "That's not so bad," you think, till you realize that one must also fill out the back of each page.The administrator coldly stares you down.is wounded by one of the Temple Administrator's dirty looks."Temple Administrator." What vision do those words conjure up in your mind? Well, you're not looking at anything very interesting. Just an old, balding guy wearing geeky clothes, 1-inch-thick-glasses, and a cheap pocket protector empty but for an Administrative Standard #3 Pencil and Gum Eraser. He's ignoring you for the most part, but, once in a while, he shoots you a glance that says, "What are you doing wasting my time like this? Fill out some forms or something!"Actually, this pale, rubbery chicken isn't so super after all. A note tied to the chicken, addressed to the Cosmic Muffin (the writer's deity of choice), explains that this is actually the Thanksgiving Chicken that Beatrice (pronounced Beat Rice) Harvey cooked just for her husband Ralph, but that Ralph did not believe the chicken to be edible, but that he DID believe it to be an oh-so-worthy sacrifice, and so threw it into the Pit when his wife wasn't looking.This is a rather simple form, consisting of "Name:", "Address:", "Sex:", and "Reason for Filling out Form (use back if necessary):".You take the torch; its light aids your vision, revealing things hidden in the shadows.This is a bright, healthy, burning torch. Apparently it was left behind by one of the construction workers for Harv's Bargain Basement.This rather protruding, flat ledge performs the rather passive active role of getting in the way, keeping things that are meant to be sacrificed from reaching their fate. It was probably conjured up by some bored god who felt like punishing the weak who can't throw very far. Indeed, many objects have landed here.The pit seems to consume the easternmost end of this cavernous place, filling the rest with smoke and shadow, casting a reddish light up toward the ceiling. Looking into the pit, you can't tell how deep it is; you can only make out the presence of some great fire down below. Oddly-shaped, the edges of the pit are rough, with many outcroppings sticking out from the sides, especially toward the top. The pit's heat covers you with a glaze of sweat.You gracefully climb back up the pit.climbs back up, out of the pit.You feel around in the curtains to the north, but meet only a hard, cold, blank wall.rummages through the curtains.The banner is too high to reach.The banner has "WELCOME" printed in large letters; beneath that, the motto "REGAIN HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE", and beneath that, a suggestion in fine print that newcomers go inside the kiosk by typing "in".You are already at the path; you may follow it, however, to the east or west.The pathway chills your entire body as you walk across it; it's made of a single long stone slab about eight inches high, worn by the eternal passing of thousands of ancient feet.The ledge is far too high for you to reach from ground level.A high ledge runs along the northern, eastern, and southern walls. This ledge supports the statues and, so it seems, provides a hanging place for the thick curtains. The ledge is quite wide; it provides more than enough room for the statues, but, peering through the gloom, you can't quite tell if anything else is up there.The statues are high up on the ledge; you can't reach them.Twenty-four of them in all, these statues are all nearly identical; each stands on a ledge, depicting a human form which seems to beg your attention. Your eyes are drawn toward their faces.The statues are high up on the ledge; you can't reach them.Looking closely at the statues, you can't see a single difference between one and the next; however, each seems to be a grim parody of the one before. They eagerly lean far over the ledge, as if ready to lunge down upon newcomers. They possess long, claw-like fingernails, wild hair, and a grim facial expression, though in their jewelled eyes you sense infinite pleading.This small, stuffed toy of Garfield, the black-and-orange cat, has hardly been touched. Garfield is sitting on his haunches, and the combination of fat and fur that adorn his legs makes his entire lower body look like one orange and black blob. His head is fairly round, too; he wears the usual ridiculous grin. From a distance, this toy would probably look like a big, discolored, deformed pear.Have you no idea what that much gold weighs?A statue of a Griffon stands tall, proud, rearing into the air. Its wing are fully spread, and its head seems almost to move as you look at it. The statue is of pure gold, with eyes of sparkling diamond.You lift the big golden sign, awkwardly managing its weight.lifts the big golden sign, awkwardly managing its weight.This heavy, golden sign stands about six feet high, its writing imprinted as letters of silver. The sign stands atop a massive, circular base; its face is a large rectangle, which proudly proclaims the words "Sorry for the inconvenience!

You also notice what seems to be a large outcropping-- or a ledge-- partway down the pit.It wouldn't make much sense to try and move around that way, would it?The trees and shrubbery at this particular point seem well cared-for; several rocks are strewn about.

Scrawled across the bottom are the words "Eat my shorts!! --Harry Tuttle, Freelance Heating Engineer."trudges around in the trash.The Builders of the Temple, in their infinite wisdom, wisely placed the Administration and The Trash Bin next to each other, hidden away from the rest of the Temple. Would you want such nasty, smelly things in front of your nose all the time? All sorts of lovely trash lies around here, from banana peels to old, unprocessed forms. A rather unsanitary door leads back out, to the north, which allows this room and the administration to remain in a constant mutual state of spillover.The administrator looks shocked. "Form Twenty-Seven B stroke Six! No!" He peers at the form more closely. "Ach! I thought we'd thrown those all away! The Twenty-Seven B stroke Six has a bad history... and this one! This one signed by that rebel!" He snarls. "We'll catch him yet! Just you wait! And you! Out of my office!" As he roughly boots you out, you wonder if a form signed by a refugee could be valuable.You don't have that form.shows the administrator Form 27B/- 6, but gets booted out roughly.I don't see that here.The Administrator looks at you disgustedly. "What is that, a relic out of history? We don't use forms with names shorter than 6 characters any more. Get out of my office with that thing." He boots you out.You don't have that form.shows the administrator Form 2, but gets booted out.I don't see that here.You can't bloody well walk through a statue, can you?You've seen these statues enough! All broken and battered, they look even worse than they did from below! Luckily, none of the damage can be seen from the ground.You can't bloody well walk through a statue, can you?These statues, adorned with jewels, all similar, stand ready to pounce on visitors below. The statue just to the right of the center of the ledge has a small carving on the back, reading "Made in Taiwan."A rather large, excited crowd mills about this room; a stage is set at its northern end, with a red curtain behind. A rather interesting-looking man stands on the stage behind a podium, speaking rapidly. Behind him, where it would be hidden if the curtain were to close, sits a glass case full of the things he is auctioning. To leave, you could push your way back through the doorway to the south.You manage to force your way through the milling crowd.pushes through the crowd and exits through the southern doorway.You touch the vase, which sings at your slightest touch. You catch your breath and draw back, reluctant to mar its beauty.touches the vase but draws back.This is a truly lovely and breathtaking arrangement of flowers, all colors in the spectrum and set in a fine porcelain vase. The scents of the flowers mingle delicately with the fresh, clean air of the gazebo; their colors sooth your eyes. The vase is inscribed in fine cursive letters with the name "Jiapa."Moustapha, apparently, is currently auctioning things. "Yes! Yes, this i Moustapha's Auction Emporium, I sell for cheap, for cheap, for cheap! I sell for low price than nowhere else! Cheap! Cheap Cheap! Cheap!" Moustapha gesticulates wildly.Moustapha points at the case. "Looka dis! Looka dis! I got a good necklace! Good, pretty necklace. Now! Now! Buy Moustapha for cheap! For cheap! Cheap cheap!" He begins waving his arm in wild circles. "Diamond necklace. Good for lovely wife. Good sacrifice. For cheap! Cheap! Do I hear ten penny?" Interestingly enough, he couldn't have heard 'ten penny,' since nobody has offered anything so far."Buy Moustapha! Buy Moustapha! Looka dis! Buy Moustapha! Cheap!""Lookamehere! Holy Cross! Holy Cross I got a Holy Cross! Buy Holy Cross for no expensive for no expensive more cheap than nowhere else more cheap than Bargain Basement Cheap!""Lookanow lookanow lookanow Buddha!

You note that nobody as yet has offered anything at all.Moustapha begins jumping around, his mustache flopping back and forth. "Diamon Ring! Yes Diamon Ring yes diamon! Yes Diamon! Diamon ring diamon ring diamon ring NOW! Buy Moustapha Cheap! Cheap cheap! Cheap!""Buy Moustapha buy Moustapha buy buy buy now Moustapha Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap!" During this last word, Moustapha clenches his fists, tilts his head up in the air, and screams, soaking several members of the audience in spittle."Check it check it check it out we got good goblet good goblet good goblet hey good goblet good Cheap! Cheap cheap! Cheap! Jewel goblet! Jewel cup! Cup Goblet! Gobble Jewel! Jewel Goblet Cheap! Cheap Cheap! Cheap! Buy Moustapha! Buy for little Moustapha! Good for sacrifice!

He's getting really excited."Ladies an Gentlemon in a few minute we may have close curtain for me to get a glass a water, ladies an gentlemon, las minute to buy! Buy Moustapha! Buy Moustapha now!"You reach toward him, but soon find yourself being drenched by spittle. Disgusting!reaches toward Moustapha, but recoils.Moustapha is a tall, foreign-looking man with greasy black hair and a big mustache. He's wearing a tuxedo that looks slightly dirty and talking in rather fast, garbled sentences. He gestures wildly in accordance with his speech, and occasionally jumps about. Any moment now, you expect to see him begin to drool and froth at the mouth.You could perhaps LOOK at some of the items around the room, or maybe WAIT/WATCH/LISTEN to what's going on...gets help with the ACTION command.You are already mingling among the crowd.seems a bit nervous about mingling with the crowd; just an antisocial type, I guess.The crowd here is having a great time! However, they don't seem the least bit interested in buying anything. They stare curiously at the objects in the case, and laugh, and whisper jokes to each other. They watch Moustapha rant and rave and jump around, and struggle to memorize clever little anecdotes about him to use next time they wish to be the life of a party.This jewelled goblet shines well, and looks splendid in the case.This diamond ring looks great! You can't quite see what sort of diamond is in the center, though. There might not even be one, for all you can tell from here.This statuette of the Buddha is somewhat old and dirty. It used to have jewels for eyes, but these have been long since pried out. The Buddha, who, from this likeness, could have easily been any sumo wrestler with a heavy craving for sushi, is sitting in a meditative position. His arms are resting in his lap; his legs are crossed. The likeness' rather large, fat stomach and bulbous head give it a strange image, almost like a moldy, disfigured squash.This Cross of Lorraine is made of old wood which seems to be softening up in some areas. It's finely stained; it is also carved, with some strange lettering you can't quite make out from here.This diamond necklace seems somewhat sort in length, but shiny and beautiful nontheless. It appears to be made of only the finest diamonds, strung along inside the coils of a fine platinum wire. Hanging on the necklace is a sparkling diamond ornament. If you had a female friend with a toothpick for a neck, this would make the perfect gift.Moustapha isn't about to let you near the stage, or his wonderful treasures.tries to get to the stage and glass case, but Moustapha would never let him.In the case are sitting, from left to right: a Diamond Necklace, a Holy Cross, a Buddha Statuette, a Diamond Ring, and a Jewelled Goblet. They are displayed in a proud, neat little row, just begging for someone to buy them, which nobody will.You burrow around in the trash, but there isn't really any way to go down.burrows around in the trash.The trash is not fun.

By going west, you could easily slip behind the curtain. By going southwest, you could slip back into the milling crowd; you doubt that, having done this, you will be able to return here without being seen. The tunnel entrance lies to the southeast.The way upward is steep and tricky; without some good lighting, you'd never see your way well enough to make it.This is the northeast edge of the beach, abutting the rain forest to the north.

Well, now you've seen both sides of Moustapha's Red Curtain. This, being the backside, is one few are priveleged to see. That famous glass case is here, holding the items Moustapha has eternally put up for sale. Through the curtain, you can hear the muffled sounds of the crowd and Moustapha's performance; you know that it's only a matter of time before the curtain goes up again.The only sane way to exit here is to the east, back to Stage Left.As someone once said, you've got to learn to see both sides of the issue.

It's impossible to slide things across this table, and your clothing sticks to it, building up static and yanking on threads. This table is truly a wonder of modern plastics technology! Little bits of trash lie strewn across it.The cashier seems to be waiting for you to make an order.It's a cheap fast food joint, of course. Wobbly tables with flimsy plastic tableclothes line the walls; the usual array of Iron Age Cooking Equipment grinds and steams its heart out in the back of the store, behind the counter. Manning this counter is an interesting looking cashier who doesn't look like the English-speaking type. On the wall above his head hangs a big menu board.Ahh, food! You long for something nice and delicious to eat; hopefully this shop will be good. Anything but a hamburger or cheeseburger or one of the endless derivatives on the same theme would really hit the spot right now.

Hamburgers with little faces dance around; tacos lie at suggestive angles; french fries lie spilled about, sitting jauntily near cups of coffee or lemonade or Coke. No food prices or names are listed.The cashier guy stares at you for a moment, as if trying to understand what you said. Eventually, he figures it out. "No hambaga. No hav no chi! Chibaga only!"evokes a strange look from the cashier.Instantly, all the workers here turn their heads toward you and begin to stare you down, as if you had uttered an unutterable blasphemy; their eyes almost burn through you. The cashier says sternly, "No taco. Chibaga."The clerk stares into your eyes. "No Frenchfry."The clerk gives you a dirty look. "No coffi. Pepsi!""No Coke. Pepsi!"extracts disgust from the staff by trying to order a Coke.All the minimum-wage workers seem amused. "Lemonade?

"Chibaga?"The workers break into a general laughing fit over your failed attempt to imitate their speech.The cashier stares at you insultingly, as if asking "Just what are you trying to say??"The restaurant workers seem miffed at your bad imitation of their speech pattern.The cashier tilts his head a bit. "Chibaga!" he says sternly. The fryer person, the lettuce dude, and the cheese slicer lady all respond with cries of "Chibaga!" in turn. Eventually, a nice, untasty-looking cheeseburger is flipped in front of you, and the glaring eyes of the fast food staff exile you to a far-off table to eat in peace. One of the fast food workers, though, seems nervous about that table.successfully orders something, and is sent off to a table to "enjoy" it.You are sitting at a cheap, wobbly, plastic table, confronted by your food.

The trash is laying around messily, and a few bits of it have fallen on the floor or under the table.You get back up.This is a dry, barely recognizable cheeseburger. You hesitate to even touch it.This is the area where Benito the Burger Fryer stores real food so he can eat during breaks.

Only available in tinyMUCK. See @CHOWN.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Nothing can be destroyed. However, it is possible to reuse everything. The @name command renames objects. Extra exits can be @unlink'd and picked up and dropped elsewhere.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.When the @link command is used on a room, it sets a drop-to location. Any object dropped in the room (if it isn't STICKY) will go to that location. If the room is STICKY, the drop-to will be delayed until the last person in the room has left.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Every thing or player has a home. This is where things go when sacrificed, players when they go home, or things with the STICKY flag set go when dropped (See STICKY). Homes are set with the @link command. A thing's home defaults to the room where it was created, if you control that room, or your home. You can link an exit to send players home (with their inventory) by "@link <dir>=home". Drop-tos can also be set to 'home' (See DROP-TOS). See @LINK.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.You can link to a room if you control it, or if it is set LINK_OK. Being able to link means you can set the homes of objects or yourself to that room, and can set the destination of exits to that room. See @LINK, LINK_OK.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.There are 3 rules to controlling objects: 1) You control anything you own. 2) A wizard controls everything. 3) Anybody controls an unlinked exit, even if it is locked. Builders should beware of 3, lest their exits be linked or stolen.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Bogus commands can be made using exits. For example, to make a 'sit' command, one could "@open sit", then "@link sit=here" (because unlinked exits can be stolen), "@lock sit=me&!me" (impossible to be both at once, therefore always fails), and "@fail sit=You sit on the chair."; "@ofail=sits on the chair.". Since nobody can go through it, it always fails. The @fail message is displayed to the player, and the @ofail message (preceded by the player's name) to everyone else.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Getting killed is no big deal. If you are killed, you return to your home, and all things you carry return to their homes. You also collect 50 pennies in insurance money (unless you have >= 10000 pennies). See MONEY.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.You successfully use an object when you take it. You use an exit successfully when you go through it. You successfully use a person successfully when you successfully rob them. You successfully use a room when you look around. See STRINGS, @SUCCESS, and @OSUCCESS.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.You fail to use a thing when you cannot take it (because it's lock fails). You fail to use an exit when you cannot go through it (because it's unlinked or locked). You fail to use a person when you fail to rob them. You fail to use a room when you fail to look around (because it's locked). See STRINGS, @FAIL, and @OFAIL.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.There are 4 types of objects: things, players, exits, and rooms. The first letter following an object's ID number indicates the type: P(layer), E(xit), R(oom), otherwise, thing. Things are inanimate objects that can be carried. Players are animate objects that can move and carry. Exits are the means by which objects move. Rooms are locations that contain objects and linked exits (in tinyMUCK, so can things and players).Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Building and some other actions cost money. How to get money: 1) find pennies. 2) sacrifice (drop) things in the temple. 3) get killed. 4) be given money. 5) rob someone. Once you reach 10000 pennies, it becomes difficult to acquire more. See COSTS and SACRIFICING.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.You sacrifice a thing by dropping it in the temple. Sacrificing an object gives you the value of an object. You can't sacrifice something you own. If you have >= 10000 pennies, all sacrifices are worth only 1 penny. The sacrifice value of a thing is set at creation by "@create frob=cost", by the formula value=(cost/5)-1. Only a wizard can change the value of an object, once created.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Costs: kill: 10p (or more, up to 100p). page: 1p. @dig: 10p. @create: 10p (or more, up to 505p), sacrifice value=(cost/5)-1. @find: 1p. @link: If you didn't already own the exit: 1p, +1p to the previous owner. @open: 1p.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.When you rob someone, you succeed or fail to use them (See SUCCESS and FAILURE). You can protect yourself from being robbed by entering "@lock me=me" (See ME, @LOCK). If you lock yourself to yourself, you can rob yourself and set off your @success and @osuccess messages. Try entering "@osucc me=is goofy." and robbing yourself in a crowd. See ROB.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.The word 'me' refers to yourself. Some things to do when starting out: 1) give yourself a description with "@describe me=<description>", then look at yourself with "look me". 2) prevent anyone else from robbing you with "@lock me=me".Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.There is no ultimate goal to this game, except to have fun. There are puzzles to solve, scenery to visit, and people to meet. There are no winners or losers, only fellow players. Enjoy.Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Objects have 6 strings: 1) a name. 2) a description. 3) a success message (seen by the player). 4) a fail message (seen by the player). 5) an osuccess message (seen by others). 6) an ofail message (seen by others).Please don't tear entries out of the encyclopedia.Only available in tinyMUCK. In descriptions, the sequence '\n' evaluates to a newline character, starting a new line at that point. @osuccess and @ofail messages may have %-substitutions, which evaluate to gender-specific pronouns if the player's gender is set. They are: %s (subjective) = Name, he, she, it. %o (objective) = Name, him, her, it. %p (possessive) = Name's, his, her, its. %n (player's name) = Name. Capitalized pronouns are also available with %S, %O, and %P.
