something to every character in your group, even if they are separated
from you. The semicolon ; is a synonym for gtell. SHOUT shouts
something to every character in the game. SHOUT costs 10 mv to use.
Excessive use of shouting annoys other people and may get your SHOUT

out yourself.

#
STEAL
Thief Only.
Use steal to steal gold or items from people. The chance of not getting
caught depends on how well you have practised steal, and if the person
is asleep.
Due to misuse of the steal command, it now requires at least 1,250 XP

at all levels. Furthermore steal takes time to perform. you can't just
rush in, steal 20-30 times and quit (unless you have a LOT of time).

(only possible if he is sleeping)
NOTE: If you choose to steal from a Player, be forewarned, you WILL

have practised backstab at your guild. You can always backstab sleeping
persons.
#

someone is to attempt to 'knock' away that person's weapon. If you

miss, your opponent will be able to attack one extra round.

parry.

RENT SAVE QUIT
MERC doesn't have rent. Just save and quit, anywhere. If you are in town,
you will come back where you left. If you are out of town, you will still
come back where you left, and you will lose some experience points as well.
This keeps you from getting free recalls back to town.
All your stuff will be saved when you quit. (In fact, quit automatically
does a save, so saving first is redundant).
There is now no need to kill your link instead of quitting. In fact,
link dying will be harsher on your character than using quit.

#
READ

#
SHOPS
Shops are places where the adventurer may purchase equipment for his quests,
and where he may sell his treasure if he should manage to survive the perils
with his life and sanity intact. Many shops trade only in a specific type of
merchandise. Thus, a baker may well refuse to buy your armor, even if it is of
high quality!
To some people, the prospect of obtaining the entire inventory of a shop by
murdering the keeper may appear tempting - but beware: The shopkeepers are
often rugged, capable men; roughened by years of trading and, indeed, surviving
in a world where the only safe prospect is death in the end.

IMPLEMENTOR IMMORTAL
The implementors are Hatchet, Kahn, and Furey. It is through our hundreds
of hours of work that you can enjoy MERC Diku Mud. Our e-mail address is
mec@garnet.berkeley.edu.
The Chief Immortal is Hatchet, and the other Immortals are Jordan and Frag.
If you have a problem with the game, implementors and immortals are there
to help you.
If an implementor or an immortal asks you to do something, then do it.
If they ask you how something happened, then tell them. As a player in
our mud, you are a guest at the party we are throwing. If you hassle us,
we'll kick you out.
On the other side ... if an immortal interferes with game balance, or uses
immortal power to harrass players, we (the implementors or chief immortal)
will demote as needed. An immortal is not a superman mortal. They are
there to help run the game, not for their own personal enjoyment.
Two of the implementors, and most of the immortals, also have mortal
characters. Feel free to treat these as you would any other players.
They don't get any special benefits for their mortal chars, and you don't
owe them any more than you do other mortal chars.
#
GUILD
The Guildhouse is the place where mortals may go to escape the troubles and

monsters equally among the group. Experience points will only be shared among
group members that are in the same location, at the time of the killing
blow. Sharing is regardless of wherther the group members have been
participating in the fight.
Group with no argument shows a list of people with whom you are grouped,
and their current status.
To make a group, a "leader" must be selected. All members of the group
must then "follow" the leader using the follow command. The leader should
NOT follow anyone at all! The leader can now toggle group membership for
each player in the group, by using "group <player_name>". The leader
should remember to include himself in the group.
Example:
Quifael and Redferne wishes to group with Dragon.
Quifael : "follow dragon"
Redferne: "follow dragon"
(Dragon should be following no one but himself)
Dragon : "group dragon"
Dragon : "group redferne"

ADVANCE
To advance a player to a level higher or lower than his present.
#
WIZHELP
List the privileged commands available to you. Can only be used by immortals.
#
NOSHOUT
Prevents you from (or allows you to) hearing shouts, if used with no arguments.
Can be used with the name of a player, to prevent him/her from hearing shouts,
as well as from shouting. Can only be used by certain more powerful beings.
#
RESTORE
If used on a mortal, this command will reset that players mana and hit points.
If used on an Immortal various values will be reset to their proper values.
#
LINK
A lot of players have problems with their links to the game. This could
hurt you in combat. But we have worked out a solution. There are two cases:
I. If your link is broken, you will automatically attempt to flee each
time someone attempts to hit you. If you manage to flee, then you
will be saved by divine forces, and put in a safe place until you
reconnect to the game.
II. If your link jams (freezes) you got a problem. The only solution we
can give, is that you break your link as quickly as possible. By
breaking the link you can hope that the above procedure is initiated.
Some people like to break their link instead of quitting. We have changed
link death and quitting so that breaking the link will cost you more than
quitting.
#
COMPACT
If you have a small display you might want to use this command. It turns off
(or on) the extra newline after output to your screen.

AREA AREAS WORLD WORLDS
Warning: the suggested levels are just that, suggestions. Obviously
your chances of survival depend on the caliber of your group, how much
armor you have, whether you have a client program with auto recall,
and other things. If a mob kills you, don't blame us -- that's why
we have mobs. :)
