Fantasy Land can be as tame or as wild as your imagination will allow, through the use of multiple, randomly selected .SEX encounter files that you can create and edit. Fantasy Land comes with one set of default .SEX files and allows for five more sets to be created by you (see STEP 4 below). Fantasy Land challenges players to achieve the highest monthly score. Players do this by collecting offensive and defensive items and using these items during sexual encounters with other players. A Fantasy Land can be custom-built or, you can use one of the default Fantasy Land setups provided in the DEFAULTS.ZIP and SEXSTACY.ZIP files contained in the distribution archive. Your Fantasy Land can be a forest, a mansion, a city, or whatever you can dream up. Sexual encounter text can be rated-R thru rated-X, all at your discretion. Players can use the built-in Match-Me computer system that runs SEX-DOS (Super-Enhanced, eXtra Disk Operating System) to search for offensive and defensive items, or to display computer matches that the player is compatible with. Or, players may stumble on a telephone or a private message reader. Telephones allow players to dial 1-900 services such as Dial-A-Fantasy or Dial-A-Story. The private message reader allows players to view private messages from player-to-player (at an expense of course). Due to the potential erotic nature of this game, it is recommended that SysOps RESTRICT ITS USE TO USERS WHO ARE OF A MATURE AGE. This program was written in Turbo Pascal using JPDoor 3.01. The program requires the DORINFO1.DEF or DOOR.SYS drop files in order to run. This program has been tested running under RemoteAccess 1.01, RemoteAccess 1.10, and QuickBBS 2.76, in both single and multinode configurations. The DORINFO1.DEF format used is the RemoteAccess/QuickBBS style format. The DOOR.SYS format used is the RemoteAccess and/or GAP/PCBoard style format. Fantasy Land supports DesqView and automatically uses the DesqView alternate video address if it is detected. ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │░░░░░░ INSTALLATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ Fantasy Land uses either an installed FOSSIL driver or its own interrupt handler for communications. It utilizes the DORINFO1.DEF or the DOOR.SYS BBS dropfile formats. Just follow the installation steps below and you should have no problems installing Fantasy Land on your own system. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP ONE: Create a subdirectory for your Fantasy Land It is highly recommended (but not absolutely necessary) that you run Fantasy Land in a subdirectory of its own. This will help to optimize the performance of the game as Fantasy Land has numerous support files. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP TWO: Construct your Fantasy Land Included in the distribution archive are two archives; DEFAULTS.ZIP and SEXSTACY.ZIP. DEFAULTS.ZIP contains a default 55-area Fantasy Land and SEXSTACY.ZIP contains a default 100-area Fantasy Land. Both setups include ASCII text maps. If you chose to use one of these default setups, simply unpack the archive into your Fantasy Land directory. Included in the distribution archive is the program AREAS.EXE. This program is used to create and edit your Fantasy Land configuration. Your Fantasy Land will be comprised of several areas or 'rooms'. Players will move from area to area, taking or leaving items and having sexual encounters with other players. When you run AREAS.EXE for the first time, and you are not using one of the default area configurations, you will be prompted to enter the number of areas for your Fantasy Land. It is recommended that you draw out your Fantasy Land on paper before executing AREAS.EXE. After you have run AREAS.EXE, you will not be able to alter the number of areas in your Fantasy Land configuration without deleting the area file FANTASY.ARE and starting over. Once you have your Fantasy Land map drawn out on paper, execute AREAS.EXE. When prompted for the number of areas, enter the number you have decided on. Your Fantasy Land can have from 10 to 100 areas. It is recommended that you have at least 25 areas for a game that will support up to 15 users. If you expect to have a large number of players (more than 15) you should figure on having at least two areas per player. For example, if I figure that 25 players will play the game, I might create a Fantasy Land containing 50-60 areas. Once you have entered the number of areas to be used, you will be presented with the main configuration menu. The following table describes each of the functions available. Command Description ------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- C>onfigure Allows you to edit six items: 1 - Name of Fantasy Land - You can call your Fantasy Land anything you wish. 2 - Maximum Daily Turns - Here you can define the number of turns each player may take per day. 3 - Maximum History File Lines - Fantasy Land maintains a history file which players can use for their viewing pleasure. Here you can specify the maximum number of lines that the history file will contain. Each time a player logs into the game, this history file will be checked and trimmed as necessary. 4 - Maximum number of items maintained. By default, the AREAS.EXE utility will select a number of items to be maintained according to the number of areas you have selected. However, this value can be increased or decreased through the use of this option. NOTE: If you decide to change this value when a game is in progress, the change will not be reflected until a new game starts (end of month) or until you manually restart the game. Fantasy Land will, upon initialization, toss the number of items specified here into randomly selected areas. From that point on, this number of items will be maintained throughout the game (excluding items held by robot players which are in addition to this number). 5 - Maximum number of defensive items players may carry. Valid entries are 1..5. If set to 5, players are allowed to carry up to 5 defensive items at one time. However, if a player exits the game and then re-enters and is found to have 5 defensive items in his/her inventory, then the player is "scolded" and "punished" for being frigid. Also, the player's score is docked HALF it's value! If set to any number other than 5, players will be allowed to carry the specified number of defensive items. They will not be permitted to T>ake more than the defined maximum. 6 - Maximum number of items maintained. By default, Fantasy Land will automatically select an amount of token items that corresponds to the number of areas in your configuration. You can edit this field and increase or decrease the number of token items that will be maintained by pressing + or -. The maximum entry is 196 items. E>dit Area Allows you to edit individual areas. Specifically, you may alter: A>reaname - Each area name can contain up to 45 characters of text. Text is entered automatically in all upper-case characters. Once entered the text is converted to upper and lower case characters. NOTE: When entering area names, keep in mind that each area name in the game will be preceeded with "You are". Thus, an area name of "Standing on the Porch" will be displayed in the game as "You are Standing On The Porch at area #n". North Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if N>orth is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. South Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if S>outh is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. East Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if E>ast is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. West Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if W>est is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. Up Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if U>p is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. Down Exit - You can enter another area number that players will exit to if D>own is selected. If the area number is set to 0, players will not be able to use this exit. eFfect Number - You can specify an effect number to assign to any area. There are three different effects that can be used. They are: Effect# Description ------- ---------------------------------------------------- 1 Places a telephone in this area. Feel free to edit the FPHONE#.SEX and MPHONE#.SEX files to change the monologue of the phone calls. 2 Places a Match-Me computer terminal in this area. This operates the same as the M> command off the main menu. 3 Places a private message reader in this area. When this effect is used, it allows a player to view the contents of any private message from one player to another. Each time a message is read, the player is charged 50 points. Q>uit - When you select to quit editing a given individual area, you will be prompted for the area number to edit. At this prompt, you may enter N for the next consecutive area, or you may enter a specific area number to edit. And of course, you may press <ENTER> to quit editing areas. L>ist Areas This command allows you to view the configuration of your Fantasy Land either on your display or a printer. Your configuration items are listed along with a list of all your areas and their exit numbers. NOTE: When listing areas, area names are trimmed down from 45 to 35 characters. This is done in order to fit an area's configuration on one line of the display. It does not indicate that the area name itself has been truncated. Q>uit When you quit, your configuration will be saved to the file FANTASY.ARE. It is recommended that you back this file up since you put a bit of work into it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP THREE: Initialize the Data Files Though not absolutely necessary, it is recommended that you initialize the data files. To do this, just enter the command: FANTASY /S This will initialize all necessary data files. This command is also used to manually restart the game. NOTE: This command does not create a high score file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP FOUR: Installing Fantasy Land On Your BBS This installation process refers to installing Fantasy Land on a RemoteAccess 1.10 system. Create a batch file that will execute Fantasy Land. If you are running a single node system, your batch file might look something like this: FANT.BAT : CD \RA\EROTIC FANTASY /N1 /P25 CD \RA C O M M A N D L I N E P A R A M E T E R S : THE DROPFILE PATH PARAMETER The command line parameter C:\RA\ tells Fantasy Land where to look for DORINFO1.DEF. There is no command line parameter switch in front of the path parameter. THE BBS NAME PARAMETER (DOOR.SYS SYSTEMS ONLY) The command line parameter /B tells Fantasy Land the BBS name that the program is running with. This is for use by systems that support a DOOR.SYS dropfile. DOOR.SYS does not contain the BBS name. So, you can specify it on the command line using the /B parameter followed by the BBS name. No separating spaces. Spaces within the BBS name must be substituted with the underscore character. e.g. /BOdyssey_BBS or /Bodyssey_bbs or /bODYSSEY_BBS The above examples would all be considered valid with the BBS name Odyssey BBS. Again, this is required on systems that support only the DOOR.SYS format dropfile. THE SYSOP NAME PARAMETER (DOOR.SYS SYSTEMS ONLY) The command line parameter /O tells Fantasy Land the BBS System Operator's name. This is for use by systems that support a DOOR.SYS dropfile. DOOR.SYS does not contain the BBS System Operator's name. So, you can specify it on the command line using the /O parameter followed by the BBS System Operator's name. No separating spaces. Spaces within the BBS System Operator names must be substituted with the underscore character. e.g. /OTiny_Tim or /otiny_tim or /oTINY_TIM The above examples would all be considered valid with the BBS System Operator's name Tiny Tim. Again, this is required on systems that support only the DOOR.SYS format dropfile. THE MULTINODE OPERATION PARAMETER The command line parameter /L tells Fantasy Land to run in multinode operation mode. When enabled, Fantasy Land allows real-time encounters with other online players along with other functions. Multinode operation mode is not available during the 60-day trial period but may be activated after program registration. THE CONTINUOUS PLAY MODE PARAMETER The command line parameter /C tells Fantasy Land to run in continuous play mode. When specified, Fantasy Land will not reset the game at the end of a month. Instead, the game will run continuously. Care should be taken when using this mode so that you do not accidently execute Fantasy Land without this parameter. If this should happen, and the game has been going for over one month, it will reset and start over. Care should also be taken to reset the game manually when appropriate (eg: players become discouraged at the probability of catching up to the high scorers). THE DOOR.SYS SPECIFICATION PARAMETER The command line parameter /D tells Fantasy Land to look for a DOOR.SYS dropfile rather than a DORINFO1.DEF dropfile. If omitted, Fantasy Land always look for the DORINFO1.DEF dropfile. The dropfile will be read from the directory specified on the command line. NOTE: Fantasy Land supports RemoteAccess 1.01-1.10 and GAP/PCBoard DOOR.SYS formats. THE NO-FOSSIL PARAMETER The command line parameter /F tells Fantasy Land NOT to use an installed FOSSIL driver but to use the internal interrupt handler instead. When ommitted, Fantasy Land defaults to using an installed FOSSIL driver for all communications unless the FOSSIL driver cannot be detected (in which case FL will use its interrupt handler). If you are experiencing communications lockups/problems with the internal interrupt handler, try loading a FOSSIL driver (even though your BBS software may not require one). THE KILL ROBOT MESSAGES PARAMETER The command line parameter /K tells Fantasy Land to delete any messages that are addressed to robot players. Messages addressed to robot players may be read by other players using the Private Message Reader effect. So, if you would like to make these messages available for viewing by other players, do not use the /K command line parameter. If you would like to save a little bit of disk space (very little), then do use this parameter. THE NODE NUMBER SPECIFICATION PARAMETER The command line parameter /N2 tells Fantasy Land it is running under line 2 of the BBS. This information will be reflected on the local status bar. (See also /n below) THE NO-SNAPSHOTS PARAMETER The command line parameter /n tells Fantasy Land to supress the use of snapshots during game play. However, even when this option is used, snapshots should be available in the Fantasy Land directory. THE MAXIMUM MAKE-UP DAYS PARAMETER The command line parameter /Mn tells Fantasy Land that players are allowed to use 'n' number of make-up days, per day. This option allows players to make-up games for days they were not able to play. Valid values are 1 thru 10. NOTE: This function is not available in Continuous Play mode. By default, this option is disabled. THE MAP POINT COST SPECIFICATION PARAMETER The command line parameter /Pn tells Fantasy Land that players are to be charged 'n' points for viewing the map. The default is zero points (no charge). eg: FANTASY /P50 Indicates that players are to be charged 50 points for each time they select to view the map. B A T C H F I L E -- P R O G R A M L O A D I N G If you are running a multi-node system, there are several ways you could go about loading Fantasy Land. One example might look like this: RemoteAccess Type 7 Optional Data Field: *C /C C:\RA\FANT.BAT *N FANT.BAT : IF %1 == 2 GOTO LINE_TWO IF %1 == 1 GOTO LINE_ONE :LINE_ONE CD \GAMES\FANTASY FANTASY C:\RA\LINE1\ /N1 /M1 /P25 CD \RA\LINE1\ GOTO STOP :LINE_TWO CD \GAMES\FANTASY FANTASY C:\RA\LINE2\ /N2 /M1 /P25 CD \RA\LINE2 :STOP In this example, it is assumed that the node number in use is being passed to the batch file as a command line parameter. In the batch file it is referred to as %1. It is beyond the scope of this document to get into batch file programming or RemoteAccess configuration. Please consult your DOS and/or RemoteAccess manuals for more information. Fantasy Land should be run as a type 7 menu entry (shell). It is also recommended that you add the optional data parameter to swap RemoteAccess to disk prior to loading Fantasy Land. This insures that there will be adequate memory to run Fantasy Land as a type 7 shell. Fantasy Land uses record locking and is multinode aware. To accomodate the multinode functions, SHARE *MUST* be loaded on the host computer system (even on single line systems). If you run a DOS version prior to 4.0, you may still be required to load SHARE. If Fantasy Land aborts abrubtly without producing an error in the FANTASY.LOG file, you should verify that SHARE is being loaded on your computer. Fantasy Land supports locked FOSSIL rates of up to 38,400 and utilizes JPDoor 3.01 SE for all input/output. JPDoor is copyright 1990,91 by Motor City Software. Fantasy Land supports DesqView video addresses and will automatically detect if DesqView is loaded. DesqView is a trademark and copyright of Quarterdeck Office Systems. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP FIVE: Browse through and/or edit the customizable text files included in the distribution archive. These files have a file extension of ".SEX" and are also referred to as encounter files. Fantasy Land can be as tame or as nasty as you want it to be. Your Fantasy Land can be rated R or rated X. You can edit the following "encounter" files to suit your tastes. The ~ (tilde) character is considered an embedded code (macro) in the following list of customizable files. It represents the name of the 'opponent' or the player (whichever is appropriate for the function being used) being encountered, aroused or spoken to. When Fantasy Land runs accross this character, it will be expanded to the formatted name of the person being encountered. Fantasy Land randomly selects a number between 1 and 9 when displaying a .SEX file. It appends the number to the end of the file name and then checks to see if that file exists. If the file is not found, the default file name (listed below) is displayed. The distribution archive contains the default .SEX files listed below and also includes some alternate .SEX files contributed by players all over. If you care to add more and/or different encounter files, you may do so by adding a number between one and five to the filename (i.e.: a second INTFF.SEX file would be named INTFF1.SEX, a third would be named INTFF2.SEX and so on up to INTFF9.SEX). This flexibility provides support for up to 10 sets of encounter files (including the default encounter files). Fantasy Land Customizable Text Files: Filename Description ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- INTFF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter involving intercourse between two females. INTFM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter involving intercourse between a female and a male. INTMF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter involving intercourse between a male and a female. INTMM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter involving intercourse between two males. RORALFF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a female is receiving oral sex from another female. RORALFM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a female is receiving oral sex from a male. RORALMF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a male is receiving oral sex from a female. RORALMM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a male is receiving oral sex from another male. GORALFF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a female is performing oral sex on another female. GORALFM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a female is performing oral sex on a male. GORALMF.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a male is performing oral sex on a female. GORALMM.SEX Text displayed during an encounter where a male is performing oral sex on another male. MPHONE.SEX Text displayed to player while using a telephone. This file is displayed to male players. Program randomly selects MPHONE1..MPHONE5.SEX and if the file is not found, defaults to displaying MPHONE.SEX. FPHONE.SEX Text displayed to player while using a telephone. This file is displayed to female players. Program randomly selects FPHONE1..FPHONE5.SEX and if the file is not found, defaults to displaying FPHONE.SEX. GPHONE.SEX Text displayed to player while using a telephone. This file is displayed to male players who have a sexual preference of gay. Program randomly selects GPHONE1..GPHONE5.SEX and if the selected file is not found, defaults to displaying GPHONE.SEX. LPHONE.SEX Text displayed to player while using a telephone. This file is displayed to female players who have a sexual preference of gay. Program randomly selects LPHONE1..LPHONE5.SEX and if the selected file is not found, defaults to displaying LPHONE.SEX. Starting with release 1.2, Fantasy Land includes extra encounter and encounter-graphics files. The following people contributed files and I thank them for their efforts: Rich Wheeler, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP SIX: Edit Robot Players Let's face it, Fantasy Land requires user interaction. There's no fun in playing when there is no one to have an encounter with. To make matters worse, many BBS's will have unbalanced genders (i.e. more males than females). For this reason, Fantasy Land allows the use of robot players. It is recommended that you maintain at least one female and one male robot player. This is done through the use of robot definition files. These are simply ASCII text files which end in a .FRB extension. The format for such a file is as follows: Line 1 : Name of robot player (keep it short if possible) Line 2 : Sex of robot player (M, F) Line 3 : Preferrence of robot player (S, B, G) Line 4 : The robot player's "Unwilling" statement (45 characters) Line 5 : The robot player's "Willing" statement (45 characters) For example, if I wanted to create a female robot player named Suzzie Queue who had a sexual preferrence of Bisexuality, I might have a file like this: Filename: SUZZIE.FRB And in this file would be the following contents (no blank lines!): SUZZIE QUEUE F B Not tonight. I have a headace! Okay but can I be on top? Upon startup, Fantasy Land will look for any files ending with the extension of .FRB. When it finds one, it will process it. If the robot player does not exist, it will be added. If the robot player does exist, it will be updated. That is, the robot player's status will be updated to take another encounter and the robot player will be moved to a different, randomly selected area. Upon creation of a robot player, Fantasy Land assigns that player with two randomly-selected defensive items. This is the only means that a robot player has to score. NOTE: All .FRB robot definition files must reside in the same directory as FANTASY.EXE in order to be processed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP SEVEN: Let your users play! ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │░░░░░░ SUPPORT FILES ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ In addition to the files listed above, Fantasy Land has other support files related to program operation. These are: Filename Description ------------ ------------------------------------------------------------- FANTUPD.EXE The player data conversion utility. This is required to convert Fantasy Land 1.0 player data files to 1.1 format. This should be run only once and then disposed. FANTASY.EXE The main program executable. AREAS.EXE The Fantasy Land Area Configuration Utility. FANTHELP.HLP The main program help file displayed when a player selects I>nstructions. FANTASY.DOC This documentation. FANTASY.REG Program registration form. SER.FRM Software Enhancement Request. Use this when requesting enhancements to the program. FLSTRUCT.DOC This is the data file structure document for the current release. This data is subject to change, without notice in future releases. FANTASY.BUM This is a bummer list of aliases that cannot be used in the game. This is an ASCII text file which contains NO BLANK LINES. Each line contains a string of characters that you do not want to be used in an alias. When a new player logs on, this file is referrenced, if it exists, and a comparison is made on the alias that the new player has selected. If any string contained in the bummer list is found to be imbedded in the player's alias, the player will receive a short message and will be reprompted for an alias. Example: If a line of FANTASY.BUM contains the word "HATER", and a player signed on and chose an alias of "WOMAN HATER", the alias would not be allowed. Example of FANTASY.BUM contents: hater sysop pedophile It doesn't matter if the characters are in upper and/or lower case. Fantasy Land will convert to all uppercase for the comparison. FANTASY.LOG This is an error log that Fantasy Land creates when an error is encountered. If it exits, it recommended that you view it to determine if an actual problem exists. FANTASY.ARE This is the area configuration file. This file contains not only the configuration but also the individual area information used by the program. It is created by AREAS.EXE and is maintained by FANTASY.EXE throughout the game. FANTASY.DAT This is the player data file. This file is created and maintained by the main program executable. FANTASY.DTE This is a date file used internally by Fantasy Land to determine when a tournament has ended. FANT1.ANS/.ASC An ANSI graphics file displayed to all users who enter the game. Fantasy Land randomly selects to display either FANT1 or FANT2 when a player logs on for a variety of opening screens. An ASCII version (.ASC) supports players who do not have ANSI enabled. FANT2.ANS/.ASC An alternate of FANT1.ANS. WELCUM.ANS An ANSI color text file displayed to new players who log into the game. WELCUM.ASC An ASCII text file displayed to new players who enter the game but do not have ANSI enabled. ALIAS.ANS An ANSI color text file displayed to new players just prior to being prompted for an alias to use.

VD2.ANS ANSI file displayed to a player who contracts a SERIOUS venereal disease. VD2.ASC The ASCII text file version of VD2.ANS displayed to players who do not have ANSI enabled. SNAP*.ANS/ASC All SNAP* files are snapshots of player portraits used by the players. If you can come up with some better, or if you would like to edit the snapshots for your game, feel free. MSELECT.ANS The male portrait selection file (ANSI). MSELECT.ASC The male portrait selection file (ASCII). FSELECT.ANS The female portrait selection file (ANSI). FSELECT.ASC The female portrait selection file (ASCII). *.FRB An ASCII text file that defines a robot player (see above). DEFAULTS.ZIP An archive that contains a default 55-area Fantasy Land along with an ASCII text file map. SEXSTACY.ZIP An archive that contains a default 100-area Fantasy Land along with an ASCII text file map (courtesy of Greg Jansen). REVIVE.EXE This is a standalone maintenance utility that will revive any player who is recovering from a previous encounter. This can be run from the batch file that calls Fantasy Land, if desired. If REVIVE detects that someone is currently in the game, then it will abort rather than process the user file. REMOVE.EXE This is a utility that is used to remove unwanted players from the player and area data files. For example, if you created a robot and later got rid of it, the robot's player data would still be contained in the player and area data files. To use REMOVE.EXE just run it from your Fantasy Land directory. Enter the player's name to remove and REMOVE will do the rest. NOTE: REMOVE.EXE does not utilize record locking and should not be run while Fantasy Land is in use. LISTDATA.EXE This is a utility that allows the SysOp to examine player data that is contained in the player data file FANTASY.DAT. All player data is displayed to the screen. To use LISTDATA.EXE just run it from your Fantasy Land directory. NOTE: LISTDATA.EXE does not utilize record locking and should not be run while Fantasy Land is in use. WHOSON.EXE This is a utility that is intended for use on multinode systems. It can be run in a separate window as long as it is run from the Fantasy Land directory. This utility will display what players are on what nodes in the game. The display is updated approximately every 5 seconds. Manually Restarting The Game: ----------------------------- Since there is much data manipulation that needs to be done to restart a game, a function has been added so that you, the SysOp can restart a game should the need arise. To manually restart a game, call Fantasy Land with the /S command line parameter: FANTASY.EXE /S This will alter the necessary data files and keep the area files intact. ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │░░░░░░ PLAYING THE GAME ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ Fantasy Land is a land of areas or "rooms". Players move from area to area, taking and leaving offensive and defensive items. If a player has ANSI enabled, offensive items are displayed in green text while defensive items are displayed in red text. Players may carry up to 5 items at any given time. Offensive items are used on other players during encounters. Each offensive item can be 'blocked' by a particular defensive item. Further, each time an offensive item is used on an opponent, the opponent's resistance level is reduced by a number corresponding to the offensive item's strength value. If a player has the defensive item that blocks an offensive item used, the player gains 25 points and an increase in resistance level which corresponds to the strength value of the offensive item. The following list describes the offensive items and their strength along with the defensive item required to 'block' an encounter. Offensive Item Strength Defensive Blocking Item ------------------------- -------- ------------------------- Tickle Feather 2 Not Ticklish Spell Rose Petals 2 Not Ticklish Spell Erotic Pictures 3 Cold Shoulder Vibrator 5 Non-Seductive Spell Enormous Dildo 7 Force Field Leather Whip 8 Numbness Spell Love Potion 9 Non-Seductive Spell Rope and Gag 10 Rope Disolver Each time a player uses an offensive item, it is removed from the player's possesion and 'tossed' into another randomly selected area. Defensive items may be retained for as long as a player wishes. However, when a player selects to pick up (T>ake) a defensive item, the player is charged 50 points which is removed from the player's score. New players are started out with a resistance level of 10 and are given 200 points so they can afford to pick up a few defensive items, if desired. When a player selects to have an encounter with another player, both players must be in the same area. To start the encounter, the aggressor selects the command A>rouse and enters the number of the player to be aroused or encountered. If the player being aroused has already had an encounter since the last time they played, they are considered "recovering" and are not available for an encounter. Once an encounter attempt is started, the aggressor may U>se offensive items on the defending opponent. Each time an offensive item is successfully used, the defending opponent's resistance level is worn down by the value corresponding to the strength of the item used. Once the defending player's resistance level reaches 0, the defending player will submit to the aggressor! Once a defending player has submitted, the aggressor is presented with a sub-menu. This menu is self-explanatory, so just go for it!! But beware! All this screwing around can be hazardous to your health! You can purchase protection against sexually-transmitted diseases off the main menu. But protection costs 1000 points. If you do not have protection, and your score is over 1500 points, you have about a 1 in 5 chance of contracting a venereal disease after having a sexual encounter. If you contract a mild venereal disease, a vaccine shot will cost you 1500 points. If you contract a serious venereal disease, a surgical procedure is necessary to save your life but renders your character scoreless, forcing your character to start the game over and also terminates play for that day. Once you have purchased protection, your "sexperience" level will begin to accumulate. Each sexual encounter increases the aggressor's sexperience level by two points. Once a player reaches 100 sexperience points, he is considered to be at "Sexpert" level. The main advantage to achieving this level is that all offensive items double in strength. But beware... the defending player's block also doubles in strength. The player with the highest score at the end of the month is declared the winner and the game is restarted automatically except when the game is placed in continuous play mode by the SysOp. When in continuous play mode, the game does not come to an end until the SysOp manually resets the game.
