.DT newbie Discworld command help newbie .SH Name .SP 5 5 newbie - The newbie question/answer line. .EP .SH Syntax .SP 5 5 newbie <text> .EP .SP 5 5 hnewbie .EP .SH Description .SP 5 5 As a newcomer to Discworld, there will doubtless be times when you will need a little advice or encouragement. Using this command, you can ask a question of all the players and creators currently listening. The newbie channel is not a general chat channel; it is for when you need assistance. If you over use it, people won't listen and you won't get the help you need. So do not use it to generally chat and do not use it to ask for quest solutions. You can use the hnewbie part of the newbie command to see what has been previously said on the newbie channel. This will display the last twenty chats on the newbie channel, and allows you to check whether or not your question was just asked on the channel. To save using newbie channel, much useful information can be seen by reading help essentials, and help FAQ. Please note that you will lose the use of this command when you are 18 hours old in the game. .EP .SH Example .SI 5 > newbie Where can I go to get resurrected?
