There are a large number of channels available to you in Mystical, which will
allow you to communicate with other players in a variety of ways.  The details
of each are given below, but the crucial ones are: SAY, TELL and OOC.  Learn
these first, and the others when you need to, or when you have time.  Make SURE
you check out POLICY to see the rules on using these channels before you use
them.  YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TERMS OF USE OUTLINED IN POLICY.

SAY - The most basic of channels, this one will relay what you say to everyone
in the room you are currently in.  There are two ways to say something:

> say Hi Everybody!

> 'Hi Everybody!

TELL - This channel allows you to send a private message to anyone on the mud.
You do not have to be in the same room as the person whom you are telling
something.  Use:

> tell bobby Hey man, what's up?

REPLY - Allows you to reply to the person who sent you the LAST tell you
recieved.  This will work even if you can't identify the person who sent you
the tell.  It will continue to send messages to that person on repetitive use,
until someone else sends you a tell.  Use:

Someone tells you 'Pst!  Your fly is unzipped!'

> reply Thanks for letting me know!

OOC - This channel broadcasts whatever you say to all of Mystical, OOC stands
for out-of-character, meaning this channel is used for general socializing and
talking about things outside of roleplaying.  Use:

> ooc Hey, ya'll!  Did you hear the one about the...

STATE - This channel is similar to OOC in usage, but is used for in-character
statements.  The entire mud sees your message.  Use:

> state Verily, I have vanquished Elric!

CUSS - This channel is similar to OOC in usage, but it is used for foul
language, for those who simply can't control themselves =) This is the ONLY
public channel allowing profanity.  Type POLICY for more information.
Complaints about this channel will be largely ignored, as you have the
capability to toggle this channel off at any time.  Use:

> cuss Hey, you're a <expletive removed> liar!

YELL and SHOUT - These channels are redundant in function and use, their double
existance an artifact of older days.  Both announce your message to everyone in
the zone you are currently in, and cost 10 mv upon each use.  Use:

> shout Hey, ya'll want to group?

CTELL and GTELL - These channels send a message to everyone currently on
that is in your clan, or in your group, respectively.  See HELP CLAN COMMANDS
and HELP GROUP for more info.  Use:

> ctell Wow.  We, the members of clan A, or so totally cooler than clan B!

QSAY - This channel sends a message to everyone currently in the same quest as you.
You cannot use this channel if you are not in a quest, and the one running the
quest will often place restrictions on its use.  See HELP QUESTS.  Use:

> qsay Hey, I have an idea!  The clue might be referring to...

PSAY - This channel sends a message to everyone in a private channel you belong
to.  See HELP PSAY.  Use:

> psay Wow, what a wierdo, huh guys?

AUCTION - This channel is seen by everyone who does not have it turned off, and
is used to sell items in a bidding style.  See HELP AUCTION.  Use:

> auction Brand new Beginner's Sword!  Min Bid 1M!

SPORTS - This is not a channel that you, as a player, actively use.  Instead,
this channel displays messages concerning the current arena, if there is one.
See HELP ARENA and HELP NOSPORTS.

PAGE - This is similar in use to the tell channel, but much more attention
getting, and reply cannot be used.  It can only be used after level 100.

> page bobby Hey Bobby!

PRAY - The PRAY command creates an entry in the syslog that all immortals see.
It is to be used to communicate to the imms in case of an emergency or to
contact them if you need a reimbursement or some other legitimate business.
Do not abuse this command and NEVER spam it or you will be dealt with VERY
SEVERELY!

> pray Help! Emergency!
