Communication |
| Communication is one of
the most important factors in this game. To allow for the best possible communication, the
immortals have coded several channels to allow your message to go to the intended
audience. You also have the ability to shut off channels you do not want to use. For a
list of all the channels available to you, type "channel". To turn on a channel,
type "chan +<channel>" and to turn off a channel, type "chan
-<channel>". For instance, chan -chat would turn off chat channel. You can also
turn off all channels at once by typing "chan -all" and turn on all channels by
typing "chan +all". The following is a list of channels, their purpose and how
to use them. |
