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

INTERRACE


MUME characters belong either to the good races; Dwarves, Elves, Half-Elves, Men, and Hobbits, the evil races; Black Númenóreans, (Tarkhnarb) Orcs, and Trolls, or the "third" side; the Zaugurz Orcs.

  1. Behaviour towards enemies:
    Members of different sides cannot collaborate, communicate, or otherwise interact in any matter but as supreme, utter enemies. Fight or flee.
  2. Communication between enemies:
    You can taunt your foes, but you cannot facilitate their life in any way or kindly chat while you sip tea together. ANY kind of information exchange between enemies is strictly forbidden, unless it's misinformation (e.g. lying to the enemy to get them trapped is of course not illegal).
  3. Duels:
    Duels are an honourable fight among foes who respect each other. The term 'honourable' does not suit Orcs and Trolls, therefore the only form of combat allowed between different sides is "fight your best or run like hell".
  4. Linkless, idle, afk, and other OOC conditions:
    It does not matter to the rules of MUME if the player of an enemy character has left the keyboard, lost connection, etc. If you in any way help or protect an enemy (linkless or not), you are breaking one of the most important rules of MUME - this one.
  5. It is illegal to share dynamic information (i.e. player locations, who is online, whether a mob is alive, etc.) with players on a different side of the war or who may log on to a different side of the war.

    • This includes sharing it directly, such as sending an instant message to your friend who is playing an elf regarding a group of orcs you saw while playing a troll.
    • It also includes sharing it indirectly, such as live streaming your mume session, or playing on a MMapper group manager server with other players playing different sides of the war.
    You should also refrain from immediately posting PK logs right after they occur, as they could still include relevant dynamic information. Generally, a 30-minute delay is sufficient.

    Finally, players are cautioned that not all information may be shared, even after 30 minutes. For instance, it would be illegal to tell an orc player that you saw dwarves gathering for a Balrog 30 minutes prior while playing your hobbit, as this information could still be relevant.

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.
