"AC" is your armor class. It is a number from -10 to 10, roughly
defined as follows:

BOARDS
Bulletin boards are the forum of inter-player communication on the MUD.
There are different bulletin boards for different purposes -- for example,
a standard mortal board, a board for immortals, a board for fun "social"
messages, etc. Naturally, not all players may be allowed to read all
types of boards.
Type "LOOK BOARD" to see the messages already posted on a board. Type
"WRITE <subject>" to post a message to a board; terminate a message with
a '@' as the first character on a line. Type "READ <number>" to read a
post. Type "REMOVE <number>" to remove your own messages.
Example:
> look at board
> write Am I using these boards correctly?
[writes the message; terminates with a '@']
> look at board
> read 6
> remove 6

#
CLERIC
Clerics have an ancient belief in not carrying sharp weapons. Hence, they can
only wield bludgeoning weapons. This class gives you the wisdom of peace,
blessing and healing, though it is possible to learn more violent spells.
You can improve your spells by using the practice command.
See 'help spells' for a list of spells available.
See also: PRACTICE, SPELLS
#
EXPERIENCE XP
Whenever you kill a monster or a player, you earn experience points. When
enough experience points are earned, you raise a level.
Things you should know about experience points:
* When damaging a monster, you get experience points.
* If you kill a monster of higher level than yourself, you get bonus
experience points. If killing a monster of lower level you'll gain
less experience points
See also: GROUP, SCORE
#
FLAGS
Players sometimes have FLAGS after their names in the WHO list. These
flags are always in parentheses, not brackets or braces.
FLAG MEANING
----------- ---------------------------------------------------------
(KILLER) Player is trying to kill other players. That means you
can try to kill him/her without being flagged.
(THIEF) Player is trying to steal from other players. Fire away.
(invis) Player is invisible; you can see him/her because you are
sensitive to the presence of invisible things.
(writing) Player is writing on the board; do not disturb.
(mailing) Player is writing mail; do not disturb.
(deaf) Player has chosen not to hear shouts.
(notell) Player has chosen not to accept tells.
(quest) Player is participating in a quest currently being run by
the Gods.

#
GUILD
The Guildhouse is the place where mortals may go to escape the troubles and
perils of a cruel world. Each guild is heavily guarded, so that only members
may enter the building. Guilds are also the places where people come to
learn and practice the skills of their trade.
See also: PRACTICE
#
HOUSES
Houses have been implemented as of CircleMUD 3.0. A house entails two things:
access control and crash protection. Only you and your guests will be allowed
to enter the house. Your house will be crash-saved every five minutes. You
can force your house to save by typing 'save' while standing in your house.
In the event of a crash, the objects in your house as of the last crash-save
will be loaded back into your house when the MUD reboots. Also, if you own
a house, and quit from the game while standing in your house, you will be
loaded into your house next time you enter the game.
Guests of your house can be defined using the HOUSE command. See HOUSE for
more information.
Houses are an alternative to renting. You can simply enter your house and
quit; your objects will drop to the ground and be crash-saved for when you
return. There is currently no limit to the number of objects which can be
stored in your house. Of course, players must expect to pay a much higher
premium for the convenience of houses; contact your local Implementor for
a fee schedule.

#
IMPLEMENTOR
The most powerful being in existence.
#
INN INNS CRYOGENIC CRYO RECEPTION
Inns are places where the weary traveler may rest while the innkeeper looks
after his equipment and treasure.
Specifically, the game will save your equipment while you are logged out.
There is a daily cost for renting, based on your equipment. Each item has
a per diem charge. The per diem charge is calculated to the nearest second,
however -- if you rent at the rate of 2400 coins per day, and you come back
39 hours later, you will be charged 3900 coins.
A CRYOGENIC CENTER will store your items for a one-time charge of four
days rent.
Rent files are deleted if you run out of money to pay the per diem charges
or after 30 days. Cryogenic-rent files are deleted after 60 days.
See also: OFFER, RENT
#
LINK
A lot of players have problems with their links to the game. This can be
very hazardous to your health in the middle of a battle, of course.
I. If your link is broken, you will automatically attempt to flee each
time someone attempts to hit you. If you manage to flee, then you
will be saved by divine forces, and put in a safe place until you
reconnect to the game.
II. If your link jams (freezes), you have a problem. The only solution we
can give is that you break your link as quickly as possible. By
breaking the link you can hope that the above procedure is initiated.
Do not try to get out of a fight by breaking link. You will be not
reimbursed for any experience or equipment if you purposefully
cut your link.
#
"MAGIC USER" WIZARD MAGE
This is the class of powerful and violent magic, but the magic user do not
control the nature, and can therefore not bless and such.
You can improve your spells by using the practice command.
See 'help spells' for a list of spells available.
See also: PRACTICE, SPELLS
#
MANA
Mana is used when casting spells. You must have a certain amount of mana
in order to cast any particular spell. If you do not have enough mana to
cast the spell you must rest until you gain enough points to cast.

SHOPS
Shops are places where the adventurer may purchase equipment for his quests,
and where he may sell his treasure if he should manage to survive the perils
with his life and sanity intact. Many shops trade only in a specific type of
merchandise. Thus, a baker may well refuse to buy your armor, even if it is
of high quality!
To some people, the prospect of obtaining the entire inventory of a shop by
murdering the keeper may appear tempting - but beware: The shopkeepers are
often rugged, capable men; roughened by years of trading and, indeed, surviving
in a world where the only safe prospect is death in the end.

THIEF THIEVES
Thieves are known to have very special qualities, that no other class offers.
Their specialty tends to be in the darker, sneakier art. Many of these
qualities can come in handy in many situations, such as picking locks.
You can improve you skills by using the practice command.
Skills available to thieves:
sneak, hide, steal, backstab, pick lock, track
See the help on each skill for more information.
See also: PRACTICE
#
WARRIOR FIGHTER
Warriors are known to have more strength than the average player. This makes
them better at hand-to-hand-combat, as they possess skills of violence and
fighting unequaled by the members of any other class. However, they lack the
ability to use magic of any sort.
You can improve your skills by using the practice command.
Skills available to warriors:
kick, rescue, track, bash

CIRCLE CIRCLEMUD CREDITS
C I R C L E M U D 3 . 0
CircleMUD was developed from DikuMud (Gamma 0.0) by Jeremy "Ras" Elson at
Johns Hopkins University's Department of Computer Science. All code unique
to CircleMUD is protected under a copyright by the Trustees of the Johns
Hopkins University.
Many, many people contributed to CircleMUD in one way or another throughout
the course of its development. Although it's impossible for me to remember
them all, I'd like to extend special thanks to certain people:
-- Jeff Fink and George Greer, for submitting a veritable mountain of
excellent code.
-- Chris Epler and Chris Herringshaw for extensive beta-testing and bug
reporting.
-- Furry (Alex Fletcher), for single-handedly managing Circle's world files.
-- Fred Merkel, Ryan Watkins, Jay Levino, and Sharon Goza, for other
code and area submissions.
-- Jean-Jack Riethoven for porting the code to the Amiga, David Carver
for porting it to OS/2, and Jack Patton and Steffen Haeuser for the
Amiga port.
-- Bill Bogstad and Tim Stearns for allowing Circle to exist at JHU.
-- The DikuMud folk, and the good old WhatMUD implementors Dave & Justin,
for starting the ball rolling.
-- Bryan Jolson, Steven Lacher, Cat Stanton, and Naved Surve, for being
there in the very early days of Circle's development.
-- Sharon, Ben, Erica, Aly, and Josh, for keeping me sane.
-- Jules (hamotek sheli) for being the greatest.
...plus everyone else in the Circle community who has submitted material!
Thanks everyone!

SOCIALS
Usage: <social> [<victim>]
Socials are commands used to show your affective state to others. The
actor, victim and bystanders may receive different messages. Generally,
social commands are used only to express emotion and not to take action,
but it is possible that some mobs (or players) will take action based on
the social. (Slap a dragon lately?)
Example:
> shake homer
> applaud marge
> stare
The SOCIALS command generates a canonical listing of all available socials.

#
BAN UNBAN
Usage: ban [<all | new | select> <site>]
unban <site>
These commands prevent anyone from a site with a hostname containing the
site substring from logging in to the game. You may ban a site to ALL, NEW
or SELECT players. Banning a site to NEW players prevents any new players
from registering. Banning a site to ALL players disallows ANY connections
from that site. Banning a site SELECTively allows only players with site-ok
flags to log in from that site. Ban with no argument returns a list of
currently banned sites.
Unban removes the ban.
Examples:
> ban all whitehouse.gov
> unban ai.mit.edu
See also: WIZLOCK
#
DATE

DC (DisConnect) is used to disconnect a socket. If used on a playing socket,
the player will lose his/her link, but, unlike PURGE, will not extract the

DC is also useful for disconnecting people who have accidentally left
themselves at the main menu, or connections sitting in the "Get name" state.

gecho <message>
send <victim> <message>

#
FORCE
Usage: force <victim | all> <command> <arguments>
FORCE forces a character, either monster or player, to perform a certain
action. FORCE ALL forces everyone in the game; FORCE ROOM forces everyone in

> force room look fido
If you are invisible to the one being forced, the force will be performed
silently.
#
FREEZE THAW
Usage: freeze <victim>
thaw <victim>
FREEZE, originally invented here at CircleMUD (we think), is used to prevent
a player from playing. If frozen, the game will ignore all commands entered
by the player, including QUIT, until the player is unfrozen with THAW.
Obviously, this command should only be used in extreme disciplinary
circumstances.
See also: SET -> FROZEN
#
GOTO TRANS WIZTELEPORT
Usage: goto <location>
trans <victim>
teleport <victim> <location>
These commands are used to transports yourself and others to different rooms.
GOTO allows you to go to other rooms; TRANS transports a person from wherever
they are to the room YOU are in; TELEPORT transports your victim to some other
location.
For both GOTO and TELEPORT, the location specifier can be either a virtual
room number, or the name of a character or object.
Examples:

a puff of smoke."
See also: GOTO
#
PURGE
Usage: purge [name]
Purge destroys things. If used with no arguments, it will clear a room of all
mobiles and objects, but will not harm players. If the argument is an object,
that object (and all of its contents, if any) will be destroyed. If the
argument is a mobile, the mobile will be destroyed, leaving its inventory and
equipment lying on the ground.
If the argument is the name of a player, the player's inventory and equipment
will drop on the ground and the player will lose his/her connection. For this
reason, PURGE should only be used on players in disciplinary situations.
Examples:
> purge
> purge Pom

characters, both players and mobiles.
SET PLAYER forces set to look for a player and not a mobile; useful for
players with names such as 'guard'.
SET FILE lets you change players who are not logged on. If you use SET FILE
on a player who IS logged on, your change will be lost. If you wish to set
a player who is in the game but is linkless, use set twice -- once with the
FILE argument, and once without -- to make sure that the change takes.
