Code: Select all
Dearest Denizens of Genesis
So it seems that there is an outbreak of bodysnatchers in Genesis. People
who look different on the outside but are in fact the same person!
This horrific condition is know as the "double-log". Players who either
login with another character they have made so they have an artificial
team, or those who put one character in link-death before logging in
the other.
Both of these situations are against the rules. <help rules>. Genesis
is a social game as much as it might involve battle. Meet new people,
make friends, find those who you can team with and learn more about
the realms. If you wish to play by yourself, you must do so alone.
<help double-logging>
Please use the <second> command to add any other character you may have
to your account. You do this by typing <second a name> where name is the
name of the character you wish to list.
In order to combat those fiendish body-snatchers, I will be employing
the use of the combat vector. One which I do not like to use often
but which is most effective. Should you be caught double-logging on your
first offense it will result in the loss of 1/2 of the combat experience
one has learned over their lifetime.
This may not be enough. Those most fiendish of body-snatchers may wish
to try again. Should this happen I will have no choice but invoke the
charm "weakness". This charm is one that will strip away ALL of
the combat experience that one has learned over their lifetime!
Should any be so foolish as to return a third time to attempt to snatch
the bodies of our denizens, I will fervently remove them from existence.
They shall have the "deletion" curse invoked upon them and all of the
bodies they have snatched.
Naturally, the devil is in the details here. There very well may be times
where the activities performed in the first offense alone are so unwelcome
in Genesis that I simply decide to delete you and your characters on the
spot. It is always good to leave room for a bit of subjectivity where
cheating is concerned, both for leniency and for harsher measures of
punishment, so this will be no exception to that philosophy.
Let's all work together to defend Genesis from this horrible invasion
of body-snatchers. Let's use the one tool we have at our command that
will erradicate them! Use <second> and end the madness.
Yours faithful Archwizard,
Mirandus
