Heh...after years of playing I just rediscovered the "nick" command, so we should give the guy a break.

[Tarax the Terrible]

<stats reset>

Was another new relatively one to me..
I have no idea what nick is or does.
Sounds like slang for steal.. heh

[Earth]

[quote="Tarax the TerribleI have no idea what nick is or does.
Sounds like slang for steal.. heh[/quote]

Nick is like alias, but it is used with things instead of actions.

Code: Select all

nick bb black broadsword
wield bb

nick f1 first corpse
nick f2 second corpse
nick f3 third corpse

get all from f1
get all from f2
get all from f3

Of course, you can unnick to remove...

[Tarax the Terrible]

Cool thanks.
Don't think that command is mentioned in the quick typer help sign for newbies...

Alias, Do and Nick nice.
If I didn't have a client would be very useful.
But I do so will file it in this in the excess information part of the brain.

1. THE MUD CONCEPT.

A mud game can take many forms. However, common between all muds' is
the fact that many people are able to interact within the game at the
same time. MUD is the acronym for Multi User Dungeon. As the name
implies, the first muds was set in a fantasy environment. Even though
many still are, it is far from the only environment possible. What kind
of world you play in is entirely up to the administrators of the game
to decide. It can be anything from a science fiction universe in the
far future to a medieval world with castles and dungeons. This particular
world, Genesis, is set in a medieval fantasy environment.

You play the role of an adventurer. As you explore the world you will
meet other adventurers who might be friendly (or unfriendly) to you.
It will be up to you to choose your friends and enemies. As you treat
others, they are likely to treat you. Some creatures may prove hard to
deal with and some might be willing to trade. A few will flee as you
approach while others will stay and fight. As you gain experience as an
adventurer you will get better at the skills that you choose to practise.
Whether that is to wield powerful magic or lethal swords is again your
choice. Maybe you wish to do both...

2. HISTORY.

Earlier there were many different kinds of mud versions. The old mud
games have made way for newer versions with new features but the idea
is still the same. You roamed the world looking for treasures to find
and monsters to slay. When you gained experience you advanced in level
until you finally made it to Wizard level where you were immortal.
Unfortunately the old muds had a major fault. You were not able to
affect the world in any major ways. Some muds allowed you to add
descriptions but designing new adventures and to expand the world
was restricted to the administrator.

Then there was new light. A guy named Lars Pensj| designed a new
version of mud and called it LPmud. It was early spring 1990.
Every item and object was now defined by a piece of C code. If you
wished to make a change, that specific code were edited. Players
who finally reached the desired wizard level was given the ability
to code and make changes. Suddenly the game began to grow. Wizards
designed their own castles and filled the dungeons with monsters,
quests and treasures.

A new world was created. The first of its kind. Genesis.

After a while some things were made quite clear. Not everyone is an
ideal designer. Some wizards created enormous treasure hoards guarded
by a whimpy monster just to attract the players to HIS castle. Others
were making vast empty areas which wasn't very much fun to play in.
Again something had to be done...
The light above the inventors head grew brighter and some new rules
were adapted. The wizards now had to join in domains supported by a
domain lord. Each domain were to work towards a specific goal and the
lord was responsible to the Gods if the wizards showed bad judgement.
With the Gods overseeing their followers work, things got more
organized and Genesis was cleaned up.

In the summer of '91 we were about to make a new great change of
the game. Things that we had learned to be bad were removed or
improved. Features that had been missed were added. The changes was
so profound that it again became a new LPmud version. People were
coding like crazy during the summer and made good progress.
Today we have the game running a beta version 3.0 and things
are beginning to take the form we wanted. The future is so bright...

However, a large number of other LPmud games (other worlds) has popped
up here and there. The earlier LPmud versions has been exported to
sites near and far. The game has grown to be quite popular and we are
proud to be able to say that Genesis is the original.

3. GETTING STARTED.

Since you have gotten this far I assume you know how to connect to
Genesis. What you need to do in order to be able to play the game is
to create a player character. Your adventurer.

[name]
First you get a question where you are asked to type your name.
(That was where you typed 'gameinfo' to get this stupid text...)
Be advised that the name you enter there is the name of your
adventurer in the game. The name you choose is for you to keep
all through the game and it can not be changed.

[password]
When you have chosen a name you will be asked to enter a password.
This password is for you to know and none to find out. It prevents
others from playing your character and thus imposing as you.
The password has to be at least 6 characters long and will not be
echoed on your screen as you type it. You will have to confirm it
by typing it a second time.

[E-mail address]
Now you will be asked to enter your E-mail address if you have one.
It enables us to get in contact with you if the need should arise.
If you don't have one, just enter 'none'. This can be changed later.

You will now be created as a pure newbie soul. A ghost.
When you enter the game your first task will be to find yourself a
body. A body will dramaticaly improve your chances of success in this
game. When you find one, you might wish to examine it and compare it
to other bodies lying around. One might be a female gnome, another might
be a male Human. One may be strong while another might be weak etc.
This is for you to find out before you slip into your new body.

Bodies found can be of six different races. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit,
Goblin or Gnome. Otherwise they might look rather alike. It is up to
you to determine their looks and features. You will have to decide what
kind of life you wish to live and choose your needed skills acordingly.
When you finaly have molded your body to your likeing, you will descend
through space and enter the world of Genesis.

Entering 0 will take you to the main menu. Enter 4 for the next section.

Give section: 4


4. HOW TO GET AROUND IN THE GAME.

When you enter the world, things might seem strange to you at first
sight. However, there are a lot of different commands intended to
make things easier for you. Here is a short list of some useful ones.

[north east west south up down] [n e w s u d]
These are the six basic directions for you to move in.
If you wish to go north, type "north" or "n" to move that way.

[look] [look at] [examine]
By typing "look" you look around in your present location.
If you "look at apple" you will take a closer look at the apple
and resieve a longer description if that item. "examine" or "exa"
will perform the same way. This is a very useful command!

[get] [drop] [get all] [drop all]
These commands allows you to pick up things that you find. You can
of course drop the things you carry along with you as well.
Typing "get all red ones" will get you all red items lying around.

[inventory]
Allows you to see what you are carrying. If you carry a bag, you will
have to type "look in bag" to see what is in it.

[say] [shout]
This is very very useful if you wish to talk to someone. Just type
"say Hello, who are you?" when there is someone to talk to. If you
shout you will be heard in the next room as well but not further away.

[commune all] [commune <wizard_name>]
This is for emergencies only! If you really need to contact a wizard
or Keeper of the game, this is how you do it. The keepers are busy
deities so don't bother them for nothing if you wish to keep your head.
"commune all I want more money!" will send your wish to ALL wizards
in the game but if your wish is for more money you might just find
yourself in the midst of a thunderstorm all of a sudden.
"commune Fatty I hear you make wonderful donuts. Could you possibly
help me out?" would have a higher chanse of success since Fatty loves
donuts and is the only one to be interupted by your message.

[wield] [kill]
This might be useful if you are attacked... Assume you are about
to be eaten by a lion and can't run away. Well, you can fight by
wielding a weapon ("wield sword") and kill the lion ("kill lion").
But then, the lion might kill you anyway.

[wear] [remove]
If you have some sort of armor and wish to use it, you will have
to wear it first. If you wish to change armor you must remove
your old one. (remove leather armor) (wear platemail)

[introduce]
When you meet someone in the game you do not instinctively know
their name. Naturally you have to introduce yourself and your
fellow companions to the new person. Example: Gubgub the gnome
and Bergabur the dwarf meet a tall handsome human wizard.
Gubgub bows to the wizard and introduces himself. (introduce myself)
He then introduces Bergabur to the wizard. (introduce Bergabur)
The human wizard bows to them and introduces himself as
Lord Styles - Ruler of Liwitch Island, male human (devious).

5. WHAT TO STRIVE FOR. THE ULTIMATE GOAL.

Well, basically this is a game so the main goal should be to have fun.
In reality there are as many definitions of 'having fun' as there are
people to ask. Some like to explore and kill monsters. Some like to
solve quests and riddles. Others prefer to just meet people and talk
while some crave for power and domination. However, there are always
people who enjoy making life miserable for others... If one of the
big guys steal your stuff or just keep on harassing you, round up a
couple of friends and give him a good beating. It is generally very
easy to create a player and then only use it to be mean. If we find
this to be common we will reject connections from that site or machine.
We don't pretend that Genesis is a democracy and given a reason the
administrators of the game will surely use their divine intervention.

What generally is considered a major goal is to reach wizardhood.
To become a wizard is not an easy task but perhaps one of the finest
endings of ones mortal life. As a wizard you will become immortal.
You will be granted power over life and death. Over the land and the
oceans. You will be able to create new realms and fill them with
creatures of your own and before to long you will have mortals who
come to visit. Some will stay and explore your dungeons and some
will try to lift a few jewels from your treasury.

Since a wizard is immortal it isn't really fair to harass players anymore.
In fact we have made rules against such actions. As a wizard you are to
set an example of good judgement and decent behavior when associating
with mortals. As a wizard you are one of the most powerful beings in
the game. Never forget what you are and never abuse your power.

Life as a mortal can be hard and tedious. There will be times when
you wonder why you ever got involved in this stupid game. The answer
is easy. It is fun. You meet a lot of people from all over the real
world inside this virtual world. The fact that real live persons play
some of the creatures you meet on your journeys in Genesis, just makes
it so very much more interesting. Whatever your definition of fun is,
go for it. That is your main goal.

6. UPDATES ON GENESIS 3.0. SPECIAL INFORMATION.

The game is now open for everyone. However, we're still in a testphase
so please expect things to be chaotic for a while yet. If you choose
to play despite the current confusing status, please be generous with

8. PILGRIMS

You might come across pilgrims as you wander in the world of Genesis.
Pilgrims are people who has been specially invited to Genesis as visitors.
They are wizards, but does not contribute to the game by adding to the
world code like ordinary wizards.

Usually they are people who have contributed to Genesis by writing game-
driver applications or LPC-code that makes up the basics of the game in
some way.

Applications for Pilgrim status can be made to the Keepers of Genesis,
but please don't bother unless you know that you are part of the above
cathegory. Usually the people involved haven't even made a formal
application; they have been invited. Having successfully performed the
commands "ftp", "uncompress", "tar" and "make" (i.e. being Keeper of
some other mud) is not a sufficient reason for becoming a Pilgrim here.
