NEWBIE NEOPHYTE 

Usage: ^gNEWBIE <message>^n

As a newbie, you will first of all need to find a source of survival in the
Sprawl, namely food, water, and a gun. For directions on how to find some small
suppliers of such resources, look at the map help files. To get a broader overview 
of other help files, type '^WIndex.^n' Around the world of Awake, you will find 
numerous computer terminals, which link up to the worldwide neural network, 
displaying comments and information from other people in the Sprawl like yourself.

While you are still a newbie you will not suffer any penalties from dying besides
losing the run you are currently on. Once you lose the newbie flag though you face
stat loss and gear loss upon death.

Newbie status ends at 26 Total Karma Earned (Reputation + Notoriety). Once newbie
status has ended you can no longer gain access to the guild or the Newbie channel.

The newbie command is used to access the newbie channel. This channel is only visible
to newbie characters, newbie helpers and immortals. This is to be used for questions
pertaining the the MUD only, not as a general discussion channel.
