MUME Rules

Index: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

CHANNELS, COMMUNICATION CHANNELS


Each communication channel on MUME has a different purpose, please use them appropriately.

Narrate
A generic communication channel, which can be used also for subjects which are not a question of life or death. It is supposed to be used for game talk and only in English.
Sing
A channel that can be used for any kind of information, a gossip channel.
Tell
One-to-one communication, in any language you feel like.
Say
Used to talk to all people in one room, this communication should be in English — unless everybody in the room feels OK about other languages being spoken.
Yell
Since it can be heard both by players on your side and on the opposite side, you must be careful when you yell. Going outside the Warrens and yelling that XYZ the Legend is alone, wounded, icy and exhausted at the Small Stream Crossing at midnight isn't good for your health, especially if what you yelled is true.
You can use a pet or a charmed mobile to narrate, but you should be very careful not to cause spam.

Examples:

  • Bilbo buys ten dogs and makes them narrate 'Woof!'. This is bad.
  • Bilbo charms Lobelia (unlikely :>) and commands her to sing, once, "happy birthday dear Bilbo". No problem.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
