Text "Immortal Rules/Guidelines\n
-------------------------\n
We, as immortals, are here to insure that our world runs with a minimal amount\n
of distress and anarchy. To those ends here is a list of _Do's_and_Dont's_.\n\n
Do's Dont's\n
=============================================================================\n
Cast a few spells on newbies ( =< 5 ) || Load dangerous mobs where mortals\n
Can give up to 500 coins to newbies || frequent and/or could die\n
May restring eq for a minimal fee || Fight/tank for mortals till a mob\n
Be helpful..and use your best judgement || is near death then flee/goto\n
|| some other location\n
Have Fun || Meddle in the affairs of mortals\n
|| unless harrassment is going on\n
|| Be anal\n
|| Have your Mortal && immortal chars\n
\t\t\t || on at the same time\n
=============================================================================\n\n
The above may be changed/added to so check this entry often review it sometime\n\n
Failure to adhere to the rules will result in the following:\n
- temporary revocation of your imm powers /* first offense\n
- permanent demotion to level 1 /* you blew your second chance\n
- and/or removal of your char /* rm <charname> [enter] :) so sorry\n\n
Brought to you by the Directors of DalekenMud.\n
And we reserve the right to modify these guidlines at any point in time\n
or to render them null and void.\n";
