Cheese
Cheese has no real other use than being food. However, many people do enjoy
eating cheese and have turned it into a way of life. There are many
different kinds of cheese to be found in the realm. Experiment with them
all and eat the kind you enjoy. Obviously some god loves being a cheese
also. |

Clueless
So you just logged into a Multi User Dimension (MUD) and have absolutely no
idea on what you are doing. Great, the following should help to get you
started! First off, we will assume that you didn't get here by accident and
that you are able to reproduce what you did to log in. A MUD is a text based
adventure game where people from all over the world can log into to take part
in an interactive adventure. You can type "who" to see who else is currently
playing the game. The Worlds of Carnage (WoC) is just one of many MUDs in
which you can play on. Feel free to experiment with some of the others, but we
believe, as every other MUD no doubt does, that the Worlds of Carnage is the
best MUD in existence. We are confident that after playing here for a while,
you will want to stay and perhaps even invite your friends.
When you first start the game, is is expected that you will be a little
confused as to what's going on, so here is the scoop. There are 100 levels of
advancement here at WoC. You begin in the middle of the town of Elkin and
possess an inventory of basic essentials, some meager armour, and your trusty
glowing longsword. The first thing you should do is "wear all" so that you
will wield your sword and wear your armour (Fighting naked is quite
difficult). Your sword will talk to you, and you can ask it for advice by just
typing "say help". The object of this game is to develop your character and
become famous throughout the lands. There are many ways to accomplish this
objective. Some players choose to master the quests of the world, others
become powerful companions with which to form adventuring parties, while yet
others become skilled in the art of killing other players. For the most part
you can only kill other players if you and they are guilded. As you explore
the lands you will encounter many creatures and players... some of these
players are Immortal. Immortals are players who create the areas, objects,
monsters, etc for the MUD. You should treat all immortals with respect since
they are the players that enable you to gain the most from your experience
within the world. To advance in level, you must kill things... the tougher the
creature, the more experience you gain. The more experience you gain, the more
levels you can achieve. When you gain levels you will be able to acquire more
skills and skills will in turn aid in your quest to gain levels. While
adventuring you should also strive to find better equipment, and gain insight
and knowledge.
By typing "help" you can see a basic list of useful commands, try
experimenting with all the different ones so that you can learn how they work.
Generally there are several commands that you will use most of the time. For
example, by typing "north" your character travels to the north. (Note: You may
abbreviate directional commands e.g. n, s, e, w, u, d). When you enter a new
place there will be a description of your surroundings. The description
usually includes what creatures are also present in the current location and
what objects are lying around. The creatures and objects can change in a given
location as creatures go about their lives and some pick up or throw away
items. It is very important to read these descriptions, since many valuable
puzzle and quest hints are usually found by observing your surroundings. Other
commands you should know are:
look - describes your surroundings and the creatures and objects in the
immediate vicinity.
inventory - details what items you are carrying. Some of your items may be in
bags and so you will need to "look in the bag" or "look bag" to see its
contents.
equipment - displays a list of all the equipment you are wearing. You can also
use "equipment full" to see what parts of your body are not covered.
score - provides detailed information about your character such as your
experience, level, hitpoints, mana, moves, age, etc.
get <item> - enables you to retrieve an item from your surroundings if it is
takable. You may also type "get all" to get everything or "get <item> bag" to
get something from a bag.
wield <weapon> - use this command to actually wield a weapon you may be
carrying. This will improve your ability to defeat your enemies and cute
little woodland critters.
wear <item> - there are all kinds of items you can wear. Armour is an obvious
one, but you can also wear jewelry, shoes, hats, and a multitude of other
objects. Such things generally improve your character's ability to survive.
kill <creature> - this is a great way to begin combat between yourself and
that annoyingly cute creature that is standing next to you. You may also use
"hit <creature>".
say <message> - you can talk to people in the same location as you with this
command.
tell <person> <message> - send a private message from you to a target player. The
person must be awake and conscious to receive the message.
who - displays a list of all the other visible players currently playing in the
Worlds of Carnage. Some players may be invisible and they will not show up on
the list.
Remember, you can get extra help on these commands by typing "help <command>"
and we strongly urge you to read "help help".
Playing WoC consists of killing monsters, sometimes other
players and solving quests. If you like, you can even role play, which is the
mark of a great player. You can be a heroic Paladin type that rescues the
maiden, or a stinky old troll that likes to crush things and people. The
attitudes you take can affect how you choose to solve quests, and how you
interact with other players. You are encouraged to act in whatever manner best
suites you as long as it doesn't interfere with the enjoyment of other
players. When in doubt just ask someone for help! WoC is a friendly mud, there
should be plenty of people willing to help you out. Just tell them that you
are a newbie and need some assistance.
You are now qualified to type "help newbie".

Command History (..)
Carnage now supports a history of the commands you have input. To view the
hsitory you can use the convenient .. command.
Usage:
.. [<count>]
Example:
..
..5
.. 5
The count parameter allows you to only display that number of most recent
commands. The mud currently tracks your last 100 inputs.

Command Repetition
( Repeating Reps )
Command repetition is not a command per se, but rather a way to quickly
generate multiple commands in succession when supported. For instance if
you want to travel 10 rooms tot he east then you can do the following:
east 10*
Or even shorter if you like:
e 10*
The important part for repetition is that the number of times to repeat
immediately follows the command itself and a * immediately follows the
number. You can use this for many commands (although not all). Following
are some examples:
Examples:
get 5*bread
drop 10* cup
put 25* mushroom in bag
Generally speaking repetition does not work with social commands. For
some commands you can also use "all" instead of a number. So far this
works for the get, put, drop, and give commands.
Examples:
give all* beer <?= %randPlayer() ?>
put all*scroll box

Commune
This telepathic skill allows you to transmit a message to everyone on
the mud.
Example:
commune Hello everyone.
Will send a message saying 'Hello everyone.' to every player in the mud,
if you succeed your skill-check.
NOTE: This telepathic ability is a gift from the gods. Abuse of this
skill will be thus punished by the gods. This skill is not to be used
to transfer in-game information for example:
George communes 'The sheriff has been reloaded.'
This is not allowed. Any mortal caught doing this the first time will
be warned. Any player thus caught a second time can be punished with
a level reduction. This skill is for social use only, please do not
abuse it. Also please refrain from cursing over the commune channel
as this will raise the ire of the players and gods alike. And the gods
are a fickle bunch so be careful. :)
