.:. PAY |
The method of getting paid is based on rp. The number of players in the same room and the speed of posts are factors in how often a player gets paid. Players are charged 'rent' as well at regular intervals and it is a fraction of total coin possessed so that the more a player has the more they are charged. At the moment, money has no use. When equipment is reimplemented players will be charged an amount that corresponds to the power/stats/etc of the gear. |

.:. PAYMENT |
A Moment in Tyme has introduced a simple taxation system; this represents both what cash your character has to pay to the land he/she lives in for any properties owned, as well as the normal every-day expenses of such, like for a roof over his/her head, a stable for the horse, replacing or mending clothes, etc. This is all done automatically; there isn't something that you need to do on your own, it is taken care of when you log on. Also, the fewer the resources at your disposal, the less money will be taken from you in this manner, to the point of barely paying -anything- if you have less than about a thousand golden marks. Those who are members of a Guild however, enjoy the economi benefits of such. They get "salaries" from their leaders, as rewards of the positions they hold, or income coming from subjects' taxes in case of Lords, etc. |

.:. Pennies |
The official monetary system for the Wheel of Time according to Robert Jordan himself (remember, of course, that coins of the same denomination from different countries are often different weights and hence, different values): 10 copper pennies = one silver penny. 100 silver pennies = one silver mark. 10 silver marks = one silver crown. 10 silver crowns = one gold mark. 10 gold marks = one gold crown. A Moment in Tyme currently uses 'gold' as the monetary unit. This does not translate nicely to Wheel of Time terms and will be changed in the future. The command to see how much gold you have on hand is: gold Example: > gold You have 500 gold marks. See also: Bank, Shops, List |

.:. Phase |
-------------------- Phase -------------------- The In-Character time between turns is approximately 1.7 seconds, which is just long enough to do a single action or defense. This elapsed time is also called a "phase" while in battle. The basic command that is used in conjunction with a series of descriptor commands, such as "attack" or "defend" during battle to specify an action during each phase is known as a turn. This ONLY applies to a turn-based combat situation and is deactivated when not in combat. See also: Turn Help Commands |

.:. Player Backgrounds |
------------------[ Player Backgrounds ]------------------- It is very crucial to your character that he or she have a very realistic and well thought out background. Your background is the history and past life of your character (Help IC). When writing a Background, or "BG", you should explain your parents, family, place of origin, IC attitude, why he/she acts and thinks the way he or she does. Most guilds (Help Guilds) will require you to send them a copy of your players background, which will normally be the focal point of their decision to allow you to seek their guild or not. If you need help obtaining ideas for your character's past, you should contact a guild leader of the guild you are planning to seek. See Also: Guilds, IC, Template |

.:. POSE |
Emote is the main command which precedes your In-Character actions. Emote is one of the most important tools to Roleplay here on A Moment in Tyme, along with many other useful roleplaying commands such as pemote, npc, rpseek, etc. Syntax: > emote <string> > emote is feeling very sad today. Everyone in the room will see: Aros is feeling very sad today. All emotes are considered IC. It is advised that all OOC conversation be kept solely to the "osay" command. Using emote for OOC conversation could result in the loss of the roleplaying experience privileges. Some notes to keep in mind when typing an emote: - Emotes should be written in prose, unless your character is actually reciting poetry. It should be styled such that the passage about your character could be included in the Wheel of Time series itself. While everyone will have his/her own style of writing - and we encourage this - in general, try to write in a way that fits the general scope of the world we are inhabiting and creating. A point of note with regard to style choices: though the Wheel of Time series is written in past tense, as a story being retold, our world is a work in progress. Since we are creating this story as we go, rather than trying to tell a story which has already happened, it is customary to write emotes in present tense. In addition to creating the sense of a living narrative, present tense provides a measure of clarity to combat and allows 'open' emotes to flow more smoothly. (See below for explanation of open emoting.) - Emotes should be about external descriptors. Your emotes should not include inner monologue unless the thoughts in your head can be clearly seen in your expression or other external indicators. > Examples: Try to avoid this: Fred walks along the streets of Caemlyn, ashamed that he had to leave his hometown of Four Kings to come to this big city. He feels out of place here and wants to leave as soon as possible. Instead try this: Fred walks slowly through the streets of Caemlyn, his eyes downcast more often than not, and his shoulders hunched in on himself as he moves. He tries his best to avoid contact with the large groups of people he squeezes past, and each time he bumps into someone, he lets out a small squeak of fear. Your actions should speak for you. No one here is a mind reader, and your descriptions should be sufficient to evoke the motivations behind your actions for your fellow RPers. - Emotes should be inclusive of the others in the scene with you. This means you should be mindful of the other PCs and allow them to participate with you. Give them something to work with. This is also a good habit to be in for the sake of 'open' emotes in combat. Basically, think of even word- less emotes as one side of a conversation. > Examples: Try to avoid this: Martha moves into the room and slinks into the corner, sitting down quickly and folding her arms over her chest. Her cotton dress is nice, but fairly simple and blue. She doesn't make eye contact with anyone and seems bored by her surroundings. Instead try this: Martha slinks into the room quietly, her simple blue cotton dress swirling softly around her ankles. As she quickly sits at an unoccupied table, she tries to avoid meeting anyone's eyes, apparently uneasy about her surroundings. With her arms folding over her chest, she seems both defensive and vulnerable. The subtle difference is that the first emote does not do anything to encourage other players to approach your PC and include her in the scene, while the second provides a reason for someone to address her and draw you into the scene. - Emotes must be 'open' rather than 'closed'. This means that you cannot dictate another character's response to any action you take. You must always leave the resolution of your actions toward another character up to that PC's player. > Examples: You must avoid this: Adam swings his sword toward Bob's chest, the steel whistling through the air as the sharp blade slices quickly across the intervening space. The keen edge makes direct contact with Bob's ribs and slides along his breastbone, parting the flesh in a spray of red. Instead do this: Adam swings his sword toward Bob's chest, the steel whistling through the air as the sharp blade slices quickly across the intervening space. His face is set in concentration and he strikes with a deadly will, attempting to make direct contact Bob's ribs and slide the keen edge along the other man's breastbone. The response to your attempt is up to your opponent in the scene, and this is true whether in combat or in casual RP. Your actions cannot dictate another player's response; you must allow other characters to react. You, in turn, have the responsibility (and the right) to deliver your own character's reply. Keep in mind that the more completely your open emote is described, the better the chances are that it will be answered appropriately.

.:. POTIONS |
There are certain herbs, potions and brews on the MUD. Things that, when quaffed, grant an affect to your character. The affect can be positive or negative, so one is advised against quaffing items when they are uncertain of the results. Example > quaff <item> See also: Wisdoms, Affects |
:: Beginning |
.:. Pounds |
The unit of weight measurement in the Wheel of Time series was as follows: 10 ounces = 1 pound 10 pounds = 1 stone 10 stone = 1 hundredweight 10 hundredweight = 1 ton While this makes calculations easier, it does not allow measurements to be easily understood by players/readers. In order to make things more comparable to real world weights, A Moment in Tyme has adopted British Imperial units for weight: 16 drams = 1 ounce 16 ounces = 1 pound 14 pounds = 1 stone 8 stone = 1 hundredweight 20 hundredweight = 1 ton These match up with real world weights very closely so you can better comprehend the units being used. To convert between book units and our units, we assume that one 'pound' in the Wheel of Time world matches one 'pound' in the real world, thus it is the other units that need to be converted. |

SYNTAX : powersense <target> EXAMPLE: powersense nynaeve In the above example, if you were female and powersensed nynaeve you would probably get a message saying she was a lot stronger than you (depending on your own strength of course). Males cannot powersense females and vice versa. Power is based on strength in the flows and the amount of the One Power (mana) you can hold at once. See also: Consider |
