ADVICE

What follows is some friendly advice. Heed these words, and you will live
a long and prosperous life.

  * You should not kill people without a good reason to do so. Brainless
    slaughter is not evil and it is just boring, especially for the ones
    being slain.

  * It is not fair to utterly annihilate a player who is of a much
    lower level than yourself, and doing so will upset more people than
    you probably care to handle.

  * Respect is earned and it cannot be conquered. Adventurers who stand
    before someone who is far more powerful might want to be careful, 
    because a nervous-looking boy would be wise not to tell a big horned
    demon to sod off if he were to encounter it in a dark alley, whether it
    be out of fear or respect. How you wish to act in such situations is up
    to you, but remember to think about the possible consequences of your
    actions.

  * It is not very nice to kill someone over and over and over again.
    While it may be fun for you, it is not quite as fun for your victim.
    If you feel that you have died an unfair death, contact the Player
    Admin, and refrain from insulting your murderer, as it could prove fatal.

  * Read all help files thoroughly; especially HELP ROLEPLAYING, HELP
    LANGUAGE and of course HELP RULES.

  * Take your roleplaying seriously. Create a character that you can enjoy
    playing, and interact with other characters in a way that improves the
    general atmosphere of the game. Remember that if you do not roleplay,
    you can be ruining the game for everyone else.
 
  * Do not spam. Doing it _will_ get you into trouble.      
  
  * Never _ever_ page a wizard more than once, and never _ever_ page
    them to ask stupid questions such as: "Can you help me kill the
    goblin?".

  * Treat wizards with respect or fear, whichever you prefer.

  * And finally: do not take DUMII too seriously. Play and have fun, but
    for everyone's enjoyment, make sure to always follow the rules.
