RULES FOR  WIZARDS  ON  PYROTO MOUNTAIN
---------------------------------------

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 password 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 incapacitated,  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 Servant  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  PROTECTION  rule include  any  situations which
the Servant of TSOTL has determined lie "outside the context of Pyrotian life".
Examples include  phone  tapping  or  interference,  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  SUGGEST 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 correct.  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 offense,  the Servant  may  demote  him  25
times.  Disciplinary action for further incidents is  entirely  up  to the dis-
cretion of the Servant of TSOTL.
