LEVIATHAN'S REEF HELP:

NOTE: If you have 0 experience when you log-out, your character will
be deleted during nightly maintenance to clear out non-playing characters.

Game Ending:
There are 15 Levels per Rank. Each time you reach Level 15, your
player is reset, but your Rank is increased by one, after you defeat
Leviathan. When your Rank is increased, your name goes on the
High Score List along with the date.

You can go as high as Rank 30. Once you reach Level 15 of Rank 30, and Tame
Leviathan, your name will go on the High Score List and the entire game
will be reset for all players. You are declared in the news as the Victor!

Quest Sets:
If you would like to create quest sets, simply get the reef*.zip archive,
unzip it in a directory. Run: instreef to set it up. Then locally you can
run: reef quest
In quest mode, you can load quests, test quests, create encrypted files
for distribution, etc.
View the quest*.txt files for all the quest commands and samples of how
to use them. View these files via the reef quest mode.

CHATTER (MULTI-NODE CHATTING)

Multi-node BBS's can now have players send each other messages via the
CHATTER function. Press '*' from any of the screens to invoke the
chatter options:

CHATTER: (*) All (1) Personal (2) Screen/Hold (3) Pausing (4) Rewind

You may press ** to send a message to everyone. Or press *1 to send a
personal chatter. You will be asked to input the name of the person.

Press *2 to toggle putting messages on hold or automatically send
them to screen as they are received. To take messages off of hold,
depress *2 again.

Press *3 to toggle pausing on and off. If pausing is on, at the
end of each message you must press 'Y' to indicate the message was read
and continue. If this is annoying, you can simply toggle pausing off
by depressing *3 and the messages will advance with each keystroke that
you make. The problem with this is, that in your speed to get away from
a spook, you may miss a message. But you can always rewind.... ;)

Press *4 to Rewind messages. If you had message pausing off and missed some
messages, you can press *4 to rewind messages from 1-99 messages. If you
wish to cancel, just depress 0.

SPLIT-SCREEN Sysop Chat

Split-screen sysop chat can be invoked by the player or the sysop by
depressing "C" from within the game. Hit escape to
exit the sysop chat mode. This pages the sysop with a beep only if
the sysop has this enabled.

COLOR:
Colors can be used in your chatting, and in the Jug Band Promenade.

All colors can be BRIGHT or PLAIN and flashing or not flashing. If you
want a BRIGHT color, preface the code with a lower case `b for BRIGHT.
Each color code must begin and end with the ` stroke next to the
number 1 key.

COLOR CODES:

This shows bright blue and plain blue.
`b bl`   = bright blue
`bl`     = blue
`f b bl` = flashing bright blue
`b f bl` = bright flashing blue (same thing, different order)

Here are the rest of the colors:
`bl`   = blue
`g`    = green
`c`    = cyan
`r`    = red
`m`    = magenta
`b y`  = yellow
`y`    = orangeish brown
`br`   = brown (orangeish brown) (same as above)
`b w`  = white
`w`    = grey
`gy`   = grey (same as above)
`b bk`   = dark grey (bright black)
`f`    = flashing

If you are using Telemate, make sure your status bar is turned off so that
the screen doesn't scroll involuntarily.
