Last Update: 11/17/2023

	Welcome to the Realms of Hell MUD! It's our goal overall to provide an enjoyable playing 
environment for anybody who deems to stop by here and play our game. Unfortunately, as we all know, 
sometimes certain behavior can get in the way of that for everybody. As a result, we get to write fun 
documents like this for everbody to be able to review if need be. This policy document is a general 
guideline of our general do's and don'ts, most of which are common sense during any online gaming experience. 
So, that being said, let's get on with it....

The DO NOTS
1) Do not sexually harass people or use racial slurs on our game. This goes without saying.

2) Do not SPAM. There are several creative ways people can come up with to do this. 
   Please just don't do it. It's annoying. However, if somebody does, you can always gag them. (HELP GAG)

3) Do not exploit bugs. We try to get all of them, but sometimes we miss something. If you find one, 
   please report it! If you exploit them instead of reporting them, it can mess things up for everybody.
   This not only includes things that may crash the game, but also things in the world that seem really out 
   of whack. For example, if you find some item that you can sell for 1 million gold, or some monster that 
   gives you enough experience to level 3 times just killing it, that is definitely a mistake, and you should 
   report that to our staff ASAP than exploit it. You can use mudmail to do this. (HELP MUDMAIL)

4) Do not be mean to newbies! They are the life blood of our game. We don't want them chased off! Plus, it's 
   just assinine to be like that. :)

The DO's
1) Help everybody! This is just always a good idea, especially for new players! :)

2) Explore! We've got a big world, and it's always getting bigger. Have a look around!

3) Don't be afraid to ask questions if you need to. If a watcher is on (HELP WATCHER), they are here 
   to help you!

4) If you find anything that's broken or out of whack, let us know! We can always use the help! You can 
   use the newbie channel (HELP NEWBIE) at levels 1-4, and the gossip channel (HELP GOSSIP) after 
   reaching level 2.

5) Use discord! Many communication channels in RoH have integration with discord. You can connect to our 
   discord by going here: https://discord.gg/shHaWJs

6) Keep watch on both the news file (which you see on login) as well as the changelog, which records
   what changes or additions are made as we update the game. You can always read the news file by
   typing HELP NEWS and the changelog by typing HELP CHANGELOG

Botting and Multi-Logging
        Multi-logging is defined as having more than one player logged in at a time. Botting is defined
as the practice of completely automating your character(s), where they play the game by themselves without
any direct input from a user. This is often done using scripts, triggers, aliases, etc..with a MUD client
with those capabilities, such as CMUD, ZMUD, or MudLet (there are plenty of others, just google "mud clients"
and you can find several.) 
        As we are relatively low in population right now, we currently allow multi-logging and botting 
That being said, the following rules regarding this must be adhered to or kept in mind:

1) Currently, no more than 6 characters may bot or multi-log at the same time.

2) Keep in mind that your bots could be subject to being messed with by other non-botting players at any time.
   In this situation, so long as people are not getting your bots killed, our staff will not interfere.
 
Note that simple use of triggers and such is not considered botting, so that does not apply to this. Also, if 
RoH ever comes to a point again where there are more regular players online, this policy could very well change.
