  No-one by that name here.

  > ^Raislin^Raistlin
  You tell Raistlin, 'Hi there, how are you?'

  > ^you^you doing^

"ARMOR CLASS" AC

---------------------=< Help File: Armor Class >=---------------------

Armor will protect you during combat, absorbing damage and deflecting
attacks. Different types and combinations of armor have different
ratings. Most armor have an affect to your armor 'class' (commonly
called ac). This is simply your total armor rating.
It is a number from +100 to -100, roughly defined as follows:


  AC   Roughly equivalent to
  ---  ---------------------
  100  Naked person (with no dexterity bonus)
   0   ery Heavily armored (Mandalorian Battle Armor) 
 -100  Armored battle tank

The score command gives a brief note on your armor rating. For a more
exact rating, you will need to scan yourself

skills which are currently affecting your character. While they wont
tell you exactly what they are doing to your character, you get a brief
description of the effects.

For example, when affected by Jedi Speed, score full would show:

  Your speed is enhanced.

ALIAS ALIASES

-------------------------=< Help File: Alias >=-----------------------

Usage: alias [alias name] [command]

An alias is a single command used to represent one or more other
commands.  The ALIAS command can be used to manipulate your
character's aliases.

Type ALIAS alone to see a List of your currently defined aliases.

  > alias

To CREATE a new alias:  type ALIAS <alias name> <command>.
The alias name must be one word.  The command can be any string.
Aliases may not be nested or used recursively.  Any command may
be overridden by an alias (other than the ALIAS command itself, of
course).

  > alias gbb get bread bag
  > alias gac get all corpse

To DELETE an alias:  type ALIAS <alias-name>.

  > alias gbb

To DEFINE MULTIPLE ACTIONS:  A semicolon (";") is used to separate
the actions.

  > alias eat get bread bag; eat bread

Note that the 'eat' contained within the eat alias is interpreted as the
MUD's internal eat command.  Aliases may not be nested or used
recursively.

ADVANCED ALIASES

The variables $1, $2, ... $9 may be used to represent arguments given
with an alias.

  > alias killem conc 'death twitch' $1; conc 'harm' $2
  > killem sandtrooper stormtrooper

This would cast a death twitch spell at the sandtrooper, followed by
casting a harm spell on the stormtrooper.

Variables may be used repeatedly and in any order:

  > alias helpem conc 'heal' $1; conc 'focus mind' $1; conc 'armor' $1

The special variable $* represents the entire input line after an alias:

  > alias tr tell Raistlin $*
  > tr Hi there, how are you today?
  You tell Raistlin 'Hi there, how are you today?'

REMEMBER TO SAVE AFTER YOU SET AN ALIAS SO YOU DON'T LOSE IT!!!!

  > save <character name>

ANSI COLOR

-----------------------=< Help File: Ansi, Color >=----------------------

Usage: color [off | sparse | normal | complete]

If you have a color-capable terminal and wish to see useful color-
coding of information, use the COLOR command to set the level of
coloring you see.

  > color off
  This command disables all color.

  > color sparse
  > color normal
  > color complete

These three commands turn color on to various levels.  Experiment to
see which level suits your personal taste.

'color' with no argument will display your current color level.

Using color will slow down the speed at which you see messages
VERY slightly.  The effect is more noticeable on slower connections.
Even if you have color turned on, non-colorized messages will not be
slowed down at all.

ASSIST

-----------------------=< Help File: Assist >=------------------------

Usage: ASSIST <person in need>

If Duke is being beaten senseless by Darth Vader and you feel brave
enough to help him, type ASSIST DUKE to hit Vader.  Note that Vader
will keep hitting Duke; assist only makes you start to fight whomever
the person you're assisting is fighting, also note that assisting
a person sometimes makes the mob attack you occasionally.

AUCTION

----------------------=< Help File: Auction >=------------------------

Revenge of the Jedi MUD has an automated auction function that makes
it easy and safe to bid on items with a minimum amount of hassle.

To AUCTION an item:
auction <item> <minimum bid>
If no minbid is specified, then the value of the object will be used.
If the item as 0 value, then you must set something.

To CANCEL an auction:
auction cancel
You must be the seller, obviously.

To BID in an auction:
bid <amount>
You are limited to bids that are 10% higher than previous bid.
You can bid with both money in hand, and in the bank.

To check the STATS of the item:
auction stat
The result is the same as if you had scanned the item.  It costs 3000
credits each time, and you must have the credits on you.

To WITHDRAW a bid:
You can't.  If the last bidder quits or rents, then the minbid becomes
the last bid made.

When successful, the money and item instantly change hands.  No more
arranging meets, no more people grabbing items and renting. Just 
remember, as soon as you bid, the money is deducted.  If you don't
get the item or the auction is cancelled, it's returned.  Also, if
you lose link, the bidding continues.  It's possible for you to win
or sell an item while being linkless.

own messages.

Use /h to see some editing commands while posting a message.
