note notes changes news penalty idea unread
The notes on ROM replace the bulletin boards and mail systems found on many
other mud. The following options are usable:
reading notes:
note list : show all notes (unread notes are marked with an N)
note read : either by number, or read next to read unread notes
note remove : removes a note that you wrote
note catchup : marks all notes as read
unread : lists the number of unread notes/news/ideas etc. that you can read
writing new notes:
note to : sets the to line (playername, clanname, immortal, or all)
note subject: sets the subject for a new note
note + : adds a line to a new note (i.e. note + hi guys!)
note - : remove a line from a note in progress
note clear : erase a note in progress
note show : shows the note you are working on
note post : posts a new note. This MUST be done to post a note.
When you log in, you will be informed if there are unread notes waiting. Type
note read to scroll through them one at a time.
Four other note directories exist, these are ideas, news, changes, and
penalties (gods only). They are used the exact same way, for example
idea read 5 will read idea #5. Posting to the news and changes boards is
restricted. The 'unread' command can be used to show your unread notes on
all the note spools.
Notes to all are for clan leaders and Immortals only, due to the high amount
of ridiculous and senseless spam that was produced when we allowed everyone
to write notes to all.
