'NEWBIE CHANNEL' NEWBIECHANNEL (30)
Syntax newbie (by itself toggles the channel on and off) newbie <message> (this sends your message to the channel) The newbie channel is encouraged for players from level 1 to 15. The newbie channel is a place where you can seek help from fellow newbies and from the immortals of the game. This channel is not a place to chat or to seek groups but a place to ask questions that are relevant to being new to mudding or CF. If you need directions, check your maps first. You can get more maps with the OUTFIT command or buy them at a cartographer. Please do not ask about items or quest information - including when a quest does not appear to be working. When something appears broken, use pray. (See help PRAY) If you suspect a rules problem (illegal name, spamming, etc.), do not use the newbie channel to report it. Instead, use the PRAY command and an Immortal will handle the matter privately. Be sure not to use Internet slang like 'u', 'r', and 'thx' on the newbie channel. While the channel is out of character, we do expect people to spell things out. It helps you become accustomed to using language properly while interacting with others in character. (See help LANGUAGE) You automatically hear the newbie channel. If you accidentally turn the channel off, simply type 'newbie' to turn it on again. If you wish to ask a question type 'newbie' followed by your question. (e.g., 'newbie How do I find out how much I have to level?') To turn off the channel just type 'newbie' again. Remember that people asking questions over this channel are often very new to Carrion Fields. Please be respectful and patient with fellow players.
