  Here is a breakdown of the commands and what they mean:

  Score line shows your current score (negative or positive) and the
amount of money you have.

YOUR Score:  0      Money =  75

  Your alias name is displayed.

Name:  NEW USER

  Next you will see how many pies you have.  Pies are all yours as
no one can rob pies or money from you.  The Eaten percent will be
explained with the Eat command.

      Pie 1:  0
      Pie 2:  0
      Pie 3:  0
      Eaten %: 0

  If you wish to throw some pies at someone then just enter the
command 'c' and it will bring you to the 'chuck a pie sub menu'.
More on that later.

    (C)huck pie

  Eating pie gives you protection and it lowers the odds of you
being hit.  The idea is that if you eat pie then you will have more
sugar in your system and will be harder to HIT!  By entering the
command 'e' you will see the cost and percentage of eating pie.
Obviously if you know someone is going to attack you (revenge) then
it is in your best interests to eat a big piece of pie!

    (E)at pie

  Three pie flip allows you to enter a number between 1-3.  The
computer will also select a number between 1-3 and if you match you
will get back the money you invested.  Odds are 33%

    (T)hree Pie Flip

   Flip a coin is another way to get money.  The odds are 50 percent
but with a twist.  If you put $10 down you can win or lose $20.

    (F)lip coin

   Purchasing pies is the main part of the game!  Buy pies to throw
at other users!

    (P)urchase pies

    Selling pies is another way to get some cash.  The command
pretty well expain itself.

    (S)ell Pies

    This shows you all the players ranked by their scores.  How well
can you do?

    (V)iew high scores

    Report daily activity brings up another sub menu which will be
explained later.

    (R)eport daily activity

    Name Change is one way you can hide yourself if someone is out
to get you!  However you will neeed $400 bucks to do it.
    If you are attacked heavily and would rather start anew than dig
yourself out of a negative score...then just kill yourself.  You
will then be re-initialized the next time the sysop runs the event.

    (N)ame change  (K)ill yourself

    Another way to get some cash is to sell your score.  You can
figure out how much the computer will give you for selling your
score.

    (L)Score Sale

    Quit is a command to end the game and bring you back to the BBS.

    (Q)uit to BBS


   Thats about it for the main commands in pie in the face.  Next
lets look at the 'Chuck a pie' sub menu:



       A Pie in the FACE BBS Game  Version 1.0

 (R)eturn to main menu

Enter command:


  This menu is pretty simple.  If you can't remember who to attack
then just enter 'T' to see a current list of players.  This list
remains UNSORTED as long as you are in the chuck a pie sub menu.  To
see the sorted high score list then just go back to the main menu.

  The next command is (C)HUCK a pie at someone.  After entering 'C'
you will see the following:

       Enter target NUMBER or NAME (Q)uit

  Just enter the number of the player or his name (part or whole
name).  Then once you have selected a player just choose the pie you
wish to throw and.........LET HIM HAVE IT!............SPLAT!

             ---------------------

 The next menu is the REPORT DAILY ACTIVITY sub menu.  Just enter
'R' at the main menu to get here.

    T......... Action this TURN
    N......... Read daily news

  The commands pretty well explain themselves but I'll briefly go
thru them:
   The 'D' command show the activity for TODAY.
   The 'S' command shows the activity for a previous day
   The 'T' command shows your activity on this turn
   The 'N' command lets you read the daily newspaper.  It is created
           by the nightly event.  It shows the price changes, any
           deaths, and bonus's given to players.
   The 'H' command displays this file.
   The 'R' command returns you to the main menu.


  Thats about it so jump in and throw some pies!!!!!!!!!!!
