This is a Playtest!
-------------------

Lorenai 1.0 is currently playtesting.  That means that the current game
is subject to bugs, delays, rules changes, and all sorts of good stuff.
If you are stung by a bug, I may reward you with some tolars to make up
for your losses, but I may also do nothing, at my discretion.  Since you
are not paying for Lorenai 1.0, and since there is no "winner" anyways,
my sympathy for your problems may be limited. If you have a problem with
this, there are a number of high quality commercial play by mail games
that may better suit your tastes.

Orders Instructions:
--------------------

The game is run once per week, on Sunday nights. Orders are due at 6 PM on
Sunday, Middle European Time.

Make sure you always have the latest set of rules. Lorenai is still being
developed, so the rules change often. You will avoid many mistakes if you
always have an updated set.

The address for orders and times articles is lorenai@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz.
Messages sent to this address are processed automatically; the subject is
ignored, it simply looks through the body of the message for #faction.

Any administrative mail should be sent to jk@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz, so that
I can process it by hand. (Such as bug reports, requests for copies of the
rules, or anything else).

To submit orders, put the lines:

#faction <faction number> <password>

#end

around the orders that you wish to submit (as the rules detail).  If you a
password set, you have to give your password on your #faction line.  You
may send in multiple sets of orders; only the last one received will be used.

IMPORTANT: If you set your password, the change does not take effect until
the next turn is run.  So if you resubmit orders for that turn, you should
use the old password.


Player Rules:
-------------

1) Exploiting unreported bugs is not permitted; anyone caught doing this 
will may be removed from the game. However when you report a bug, you can 
free use it since next turn. It's my fault when it is not repaired.
If you find a bug (or even just a documentation error), please let me know 
about it.  Bug reporters may be eligible for a reward in the game; typical 
rewards are 100 tolars. Let me know what your faction number is when reporting 
a bug if you wish to receive this reward.

2) Harassing other players in not permitted; this may also result in you
being removed from the game.  There is sometimes a fine line between an
acceptable threat within the game, and an unacceptable threatening
message.  Please make sure that your messages are clearly designated as
Lorenai mail, and any threats are confined to game terms.  Also, be aware
that your standards of acceptable language may not be the same as someone
else's.  Example:

Acceptable Email message:
Subject: Atlantis- Prepare to die!

Greetings to Hans Shadowspawn,
Beware you scurvy dog, I will hunt you down and kill you!
  Signed,
  Lord Vox
  
Unacceptable Email message:
Subject: I'm gonna kick your ***

You little *****, I'm gonna come to your house, and tear your **** off!

3) That's about it, except make sure you have fun!
