--- SURVIVING ON PYROTO MOUNTAIN ---
By Tidings-Scrolls Scribe Llebpmac Mit
--*--
Survival is not difficult, if you keep your wits about you and strive to get
ahead of the other wizards!
Many potent spells (DEMOTE is a good example) have no effect on higher-level
wizards. So, if you're "on top", you have a good chance of STAYING there!
Keep your eyes open! If you're qualified to use the PROBE command, watch
those other wizards! They'll be trying to get far enough ahead of you so that
they can DEMOTE you -- or even BANISH you! Don't let that happen! If you
value your position, you'll make sure that everybody is at a lower level!
In order to do this, you should learn to conserve Manna-points. Print out
the SPELLS list and study it! You'll discover that some spells can save you
that little extra bit of Manna that can mean the difference between advancement
and destruction!
But don't forget to use your diplomatic skills. An enemy might be made into an
ally, if you use the right words.
May you ASCEND to your heart's content, and never be BANISHED!
--- TIPS ON PYROTO COMMAND USAGE ---
By Tidings-Scrolls Scribe Llebpmac Mit
Here are a few pointers to help you use the commands on Pyroto Mountain...
COMMAND COMPLETION: You don't have to type the whole command. Just type
enough to be recognizable. As an example: to use the READ command, you
only have to type "R". Three letters is usually sufficient.
COMMAND STRINGS: You can string your commands together. This saves a bit of
time. Let's say you wanted to ASCEND, and then do a READ. You could type
this:
ASCEND READ
or simply...
ASC R
You can also feed parameters to the commands. For example: the CHANGE
command wants two numbers. You could type the command like this:
CHAN 375 356
Finally, there is a differentiation between numeric inputs and text inputs.
You can "insert" numeric inputs, as shown in this command:
CHAN DET
The CHANGE command will ask you for the required date-and-time data. Once that
command is finished, the DETect command will be remembered -- since it wasn't
appropriate for the numeric input.
READING TEXT: You can halt the output of messages and other text (such as
this article) by pressing either CTL-S or the P key. To re-start, press any
key.
You can also cancel output altogether by pressing some other key.
When reading messages, however, the spacebar has a special function: it
will skip what you're reading, and jump to the next message. For informatory
text (like this), it will cancel the print-out.
ADVANCEMENT: TSOTL judges you on what you say in your messages. He analyzes
them for many things, but above all, he looks for CONTENT. So make sure that
you send interesting messages, and you will be rewarded with TSOTL's high
esteem!
ONCE AGAIN: Don't forget to check the Manna-points required for each spell.
If you don't have enough to perform the spell, you'll "lose consciousness", and
your remaining Manna will be wasted.
Good luck!
