The Worlwide Lordnet is a very huge group of bbs hub sites spread across the United States and Canada...for Networking the imensily Popular doorgame Legend of the Red Dragon....This is made possible by a good friend and great Programer Joseph Masters at S.O.S Software....I am ButcheR the Mother Hub for this Net and host.... WHAT DO I AND MY USERS GET? First off they get to play against hundreds of bbs's just like yours all across the country by attacking them sending armies,infestations of diesieses and forming teams and aliances with other board members..second they get a total of 9 national Echos to write everything from hatemail to hints to there friends across the contenent. And the response time for a reply is sometimes less than 24 hrs....I challendge Fido or any message only net to beat that! TESTING UNTIL JUNE 1ST As you know there are a few problems to work out with each bbs in the net to get everything flowing smoothly and let J.Masters Fine Tune his greatest acomplishment yet. So there is a kind of Anarchy in the NETat the moment while everyone test there setup etc.. all will be corrected with the following rules which take effect June 1st. BANNED IGM'S I have spoken with J. Masters the creatorof LNET about the IGM problem...the solutuion that we found was some IGM's had the ability to cheat or was still just to buggy for the NET....here's a list Lord Realms...Banned due to being not a real IGM and requiring a drop file and due to bugs in the program and the ability to cheat. Sandtiger's Bar...Same as above. ALL CASINO'S....Same as above TURGON'S DUNGEON.....Just until he works out a minor bug. These IGM's must come off of your netted game. SYSOP PLAY Good news in this department..due to a program by Joseph Masters I'll be able to detect high jumps in character abilities..so you sysops will be allowed to play on your own bbs. POLLING AND MAIL You must poll no less than once per day. COST AND TOLL HELP Due to hub sites in the net that furnish to local boards under them and incur all the cost of the LD polls to get the packets for themselves and someone else and some even 10 boards under them...As of the first of June we will require $2.00 a month from all the bbs's hub or not as fee to be in the net. REASON is...the 2.00 charge per bbs....will allow us to put in a 1-800 toll free number for netmail which means not only the hub sites but all sites will be able to send and receive netmail for free from the central site here at The Butcher's Shoppe..so say if a bbs in california needed to send a private message to a site in new york they could netmail it hru here for free and when the site in new york picked up that day they would get there packet and netmail for free....I'm sure all can agree that the LD savings alone is worth the 2.00 a fee per month..also it will allow us to put in a mail only node available 24/7 and we plan on putting up 2 extra nodes besides that so there will be 3 nodes available to the bbs and one toll free netmail line which means no problem for connections. COLLECTION OF THE FEE The Hub sites will be in charge of the collections from the bbs under them and the first payment is due from all boards in the net on June 15th and then on each 15th after that. if you would like to pay up for a few months at a time then you hub sites make it known plainly what each payment covers and from whom. If payment is not received by the stated time then the lacking boards will be dropped from the next Site.dat and thus being out of the Net. Send the payments to: Billy Watford 2514 Avalon Rd. Columbus, Ga 31903 NEW BOARDS 30 DAY TRIAL PERIOD New boards joining the net will receive a 30 day trial period free of charge to evaluate the net after that fee's are impossed. 800 TOLL FREE ONLINE? The toll free number will be online June 30th after the first fee has been collected and we've turned it on. LNET REGISTRATION Lnet must be registered within 30 days after LNET is online, You may register through the net for a net fee of only 5.00 instead of the normal $10.00 BUGS If you find a bug in LNET netmail me and i'll forward it to J.Masters we talk daily.....and he fixes any problems with this net imediately since he is in it..
