'INSANITY' Syntax: insanity <player name> <really good reason> Every now and then an adventurer gets confused between the imaginary outer world and the real world of Serin. These sorts are prone to bursts of insanity, speaking about meaningless things like their "PC" or "being online", as if everybody knew what they were talking about. When an adventurer is suffering particularly badly, he may even start speaking of his vitality, fitness, accuracy, damage, or attributes as if they were numbers, or using short forms of words like 'ty' instead of thank you. Some may even be so insane as to make noises from their mouths that look like shapes of facial expressions. One particularly severe form of insanity is one where looking at that adventurer causes one to perform involuntary actions and over-examinations, or find themselves forced to experience feelings that are not their own. These victims are a true plague! Left untreated, this insanity will lead the victim to believe the imaginary world is the real world, and that the real world of Serin does not exist. In the most severe cases, the victim may even begin to speak as if he was "playing" himself, as if he were under the control of some imaginary outside entity. He may invent past lives and memories which never happened to him. If you have been asked to read this scroll, ask yourself, have you been showing the signs of insanity? Insanity is a condition not to be ridiculed, such scorn tends to aggravate the condition. Instead, please remind them of their true place, here in Serin. Nobody wants to see insanity overwhelming others. For yours and everyone's sake, read: HELP ROLEPLAYING Note: As this is a playerkilling realm, and emotions can run high, the staff will be forgiving, and in fact encourage players to fully express rage in whatever form they want - this is catharic and necessary. However, be aware that repeated poor conduct may violate the behavior codes of cabals and coteries, and the player (not the staff) will be held accountable for these actions.
