RULES FOR  WIZARDS  ON  PYROTO MOUNTAIN
--  Compiled by The Servant of TSOTL --
Last update  at  Pyroto  Time  484:1400

TSOTL  does not demand that the wizards
memorize a  long  list  of  rules,  but
there are  some  basic  ideas  that you
must absorb.  Repeated failure  to  ob-
serve  these  principles  may result in
the permanent  banishment  of your cur-
ent and future characters.

DUPLICATION
-----------  No wizard may ever control
another  wizard  by  means  other  than
are available online,  or use the pass-
word of another character, or let some-
body else use his password.

ZOMBIE
------  An exception to the rule above:
if you are unable to connect because of
some kind of  offensive action  by some
other wizard  which  does not  entirely
eradicate  your  wizard  (e.g. negative
Manna) you may create  one  (1)  ZOMBIE
character.

"Legal" zombies must follow these rules:

(A)  The zombie  must contain  the word
     ZOMBIE in its name.
(B)  The zombie must be named after its
     owner.   Thus,  if your  wizard is
     named  FRED,  your zombie would be
     named FRED'S ZOMBIE.
(C)  The zombie  must  not  rise beyond
     level fifteen (15).
(D)  If the zombie is banished or inca-
     pacitated,  you may create another
     zombie, named appropriately.  (For
     example:  FRED'S ZOMBIE #2)
(E)  As preceding characters come "back
     to life",  they  must  IMMEDIATELY
     request (via BESEECH)  the removal
     of their succeeding zombies.

APPEAL
------  TSOTL has decreed that his Ser-
vant will be the  final court of appeal
in matters related to Pyroto.

PROTECTION
----------  No wizard  may be  punished
for the breaking of a rule that has not
been  announced by the Servant of TSOTL
via the SCROLLS messages or the sign-on
messages and  subsequently  included in
this RULES list.

META-RULES
----------  Exceptions  to the  PROTEC-
TION  rule include any situations which
the Servant of TSOTL has determined lie
"outside the context of Pyrotian life".
Examples include  phone tapping or  in-
terference,  exploitation of major pro-
gram  bugs,  system-crashing,  physical
violence between participants,  subter-
fuges for gaining  illegal zombies  and
so forth.

SUGGESTIONS  Wizards  who use the  SUG-
-----------  GEST spell are expected to
present  well-punctuated  questions  in
the form of a sentence.  They must also
avoid dwelling  too much  upon a single
line  of  questioning.   The Servant of
TSOTL may penalize  repeat offenders by
single demotions, or by asking TSOTL to
lower his Esteem.

Also,  the answer provided MUST be cor-
rect.  The Servant of TSOTL  is permit-
ted to  demote a wizard  10  times  the
first time that the wizard  provides an
incorrect answer.   For the second off-
ense,  the Servant  may  demote him  25
times.  Disciplinary action for further
incidents is  entirely  up  to the dis-
cretion of the Servant of TSOTL.
