to _play_ is forbidden. You may not let your character on to perform actions

are not considered illegal. This would include the following types of

the weather in Alaska when asked about it, etc etc) o Triggers which report
your prots (when they fall/go up) to you or other partymembers o Triggers

you to cast spells or use skills based on text-input from the game, or on a

casting spells when someone tells you to on the party channel, starting off
blasts the moment you move into a new room with a monster etc etc) o cause you
to move around in the mud (in any way) (Example: fleeing when someone enters
the room you are in or following monsters or players ). o triggering 'mining',
'create money', 'money is power' and other similar exp/gold creation
skills/spells. o cause you to automatically use items (potions, wands) based o
n input from the MUD. (Example: Someone summons you and you start zapping them
with a wand). USE YOUR HEAD (not to bang it to the wall, but THINK).

Using robot to _play_ is forbidden.

You may not let your character on to perform actions when you are not
directly involved.

That means that automatic scripts that respond to things said or
perceived or just automatic scripts that do things in regular (or not
regular) intervals are forbidden.

It is also forbidden to be idle/inactive and still playing in some way.
This includes for example idle-tanking, a tank that just idles in
front of a mage who leads the party. Also included is reloc-pole,
idling in some strategic room in an area, so partymembers can relocate
to you. If you want to play, play. If you don't want to play, don't. 
Simple.

Info: One shudders to imagine what inhumane thoughts lie behind that mask,
what dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty.

You start chanting.
You are casting 'magic missile'.
You are done with the chant.
You boom in sinister voice 'gtzt zur fehh'
You falter and fumble the spell. Amazingly it fires upon yourself.
You feel like your spell gained additional power.
A magic missile hits you.
You watch with astonishment as your magic missile hits yourself.
You scream in pain under extreme magical pressure, you think you are DYING!
