A MUSH is an online, text based game. While it generally stands for Multi-User Similuated Hallucination, it's since gotten other names to go with the acronym.

But, basically, it is a place where real people from all over the world can join a strictly text based server and roleplay out a certain theme. Think of it as your old TTRPG days, but there's actual code to keep track of your character and do things.

Now just because there's code means you don't also RP! RP is the main focus, whether you're using coded system or not. Bulding relationships, having fun with new people going into a combat mission with a team, visiting a market...it's all on the table and more than open for the players to participate in.

Roleplaying/Role Playing (hereafter just called RP) is the main source of in character communication and things happening. Whether you're talking at a bar, fighting, adopting a cat, or in a war, RP is how everything in the game generally works

There are some coded commands to add life to RP, such as a combat system, and lots more being put in, but they never make up for actual RP. If you ever feel a coded system is making RP less beneficial, let staff know.

Some dos and don'ts are you venture into your first RP.

Hige enters the room, shrouded in a dark cloak that covers his body from head to toe. He pauses in the doorway to look around take in the current inhabitants for any possible dangers. His eyes briefly scan over those in the room before heads over towards an empty table to wait for a barmaid to bring him some food and drink. Once the lady arrives with the standard fair, he slips her a small coin to cover the amount, as well as a room for the night. While he eats his food and drinks his drink, he sits with his back to a corner, giving him a good vantage point of the rest of the crowd while doing his very best to simply blend in to the crowd.

• The pose describes what my character is doing.
• The post describes no interactions with other players, and instead only briefly 'controls' an NPC of minor consequence. You should never 'emit' someone who is a player or is a high level person as staff uses those for plots.
• While there's nothing wrong with approaching other players, you must ensure you don't ever pose their response, not even so much as looking at you.

Hige enters the room and immediately pushes Zori out of his chair on the ground, waiting for him to get back up. Then he throws a swing and punches him in the jaw.

• The pose is forcing another charcter's actions, which is the biggest transgression. In this instance you would TRY to push Zori out of his chair, and let his player respond in their next pose.
• The pose is short and gives no informatinon about your own character. Not only is this bad form, but you probably don't reach the XP threshold.
• And just to re-iterate, when you're attacking or doing something to another player, you 'try' to do it. If it's not a rolled system, there's no guarantee.
