See HELP EDITOR for info on Description Editor.
 
1)  `!YOUR DESCRIPTION SHOULD BE FORMATTED TO AT MOST 70 LETTERS PER LINE.``
Use word processor to write/format/spell check your description, then paste
it into the mud's description editor. ("help editor")
 
2)  `&Your description should be like a picture frozen in time.``
There should be no actions being performed, only descriptions of what
the character looks like, or looks like he is doing.
 
3)  `&You should NEVER force the looker to do, feel or think anything.``
The looker should make up their own minds about who you are, and what
you might be doing.
 
4)  `&The description should describe you, not your history.``
Concentrate on describing your characters stance, face, body, and their
equipment.  Not who they are, and where they came from.
 
5)  `&Do NOT say how powerful, fearful, or deadly you are.``
The description is not the place to "stroke your ego" by saying how
powerful you are and how fearful you look.  
 
6)  You may include descriptions of equipment that you would like your
character to wear (family crested shields, particular sword etc.) since
it is understood that the actual game equipment changes too often.
 
7)  Descriptions are expected to be a `!minimum of ten lines`` in length
and a `!maximum of `!thirty lines``.`` Anything which doesn't fit this
criteria may be rejected and require a re-write.
 
When you are done with your description and it has been `!formatted`` and 
`!spell checked`` pray ONCE for approval. If you do not recieve a response
within ten minutes, submit your description using the dcheck command
