| 1 Hello. In the netrek game you were participating the server ejected you | |
| 2 because you failed to pass a cluecheck. The Cluecheck is a simple thing | |
| 3 which the server sends to your message board, requesting a reply. It is | |
| 4 done because reading and responding to messages is such an important | |
| 5 aspect of the game. When players do not read and respond to messages it | |
| 6 is not only frustrating to those who do, but annoying as well. Therefore | |
| 7 the server will prompt you with a message somewhere during the first | |
| 8 30 minutes of the game, which may look something like: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 ******************************************************************************* | |
| 11 ***! Cluecheck !**! Cluecheck !**! Cluecheck !**! Cluecheck !**! Cluecheck !*** | |
| 12 Send yourself: "cluecheck impulse" | |
| 13 Answer within 5 minutes or be ejected from the game. | |
| 14 ******************************************************************************* | |
| 15 | |
| 16 The 'cluephrase' is the word after "cluecheck", and it does change each time. | |
| 17 Incase you do not know how to send a message to yourself, the following | |
| 18 has been included in this mail message (from pippin's MOTD): | |

| 23 Messages are the root to playing in Netrek. The game is designed to use a | |
| 24 high element of teamwork. You _CAN_ survive without working as a team, but | |
| 25 those who learn to work together using the "buddy" system usually stomp | |
| 26 across the galaxy. All communication between players uses the message | |
| 27 system. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 There are several 'boards' to the messages system. The main board | |
| 31 is the ALL board. Any message sent to this will be seen by everybody. | |
| 32 Following the ALL boards are the team boards, the GOD board, and lastly | |
| 33 the personal board. To send message to any board, place the cursor in a | |
| 34 message window. To specify the board use any of the following keys: | |
| 35 | |
| 36 'A' -> ALL board 'F' -> FED board | |
| 37 'R' -> ROM board 'K' -> KLI board | |
| 38 'O' -> ORI board 'G' -> GOD board (these are logged) | |
| 39 | |
| 40 Any lowercase number/character relative to a players connection is used | |
| 41 as a reference for that player's personal board (i.e. player F4 would be | |
| 42 a FED on connection 4). | |
| 43 | |
| 44 NOTE: Because using the message board is so important the server will | |
| 45 send a Cluecheck to each player. Simply reply as it requests to avoid | |
| 46 getting ejected from the game. You have 5 minutes to reply so do not | |
| 47 panic. Keep in mind, the server will not run a cluecheck on you | |
| 48 when you immediately log in, but rather at a random later time. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 The message board should open when the client is turned on, and is located | |
| 51 as a small window below your tactical. Incase it is not turned on, it can | |
| 52 be opened with they '?' key (unless your keymap has been changed). | |
| 53 | |
| 54 I hope this message was of service. |
