   Clans are groups of players that band together!  That's all there is to it.
There are many clans available to choose from.  Each clan has its own
membership requirements: minimum levels, application fees, monthly dues, pk
status, and the like.  Many clans have their own private areas of the game
called CLAN HALLS with shopkeepers, transports, and regeneration furniture.
 
You can use the CLAN command to learn more:
- Typing CLAN by itself will give you a list of clan related commands.
- To see a listing of all clans in the game, type: CLAN INFO
- To read more about a single clan, type: CLAN INFO xyz  (e.g. CLAN INFO DKA)
 
 
You can create your own clan! Here's how:
- You must be land or space level 40 or higher.
- You must have at least two additional people to enroll in your clan.
  NOTE: They do not need to be logged on at creation time,
          but must be enrolled in the clan within 24 hours.
- You must pay a clan creation fee.
  It is based on your land or space level as follows:
     Level 40 or +  = 8M credits.
     Level 60 or +  = 6M credits.
     Level 80 or +  = 4M credits.
     Level 100      = 2M credits.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Important things to remember about clans:
- Clans sometimes go to war with each other. Choose carefully.
- Clans reserve the right to deny anyone membership.
- Using your clan treasury to share funds between characters you own is MULTIPLAYING.
- Equipment left in Clan Halls does NOT stay there after a crash.
- Clan Halls do not provide protection from pkillers in all situations.
- Clan comlink can be seen by Generals and higher-level game staff.
- Clans must keep an active membership of 3 members or they will be deleted

   TestMUD is the R&D or 'beta test' version of RotJ that is kept running by
the Game Staff.  It's where most new zones and code changes are developed,
implemented, and debugged.  TestMUD is also the only place where mortals are
actually allowed to develop and build zones online.  TestMUD is currently run
by the Masters, with Marky and Hawkwind also responsible for the Mortal
Building areas.    

For information on how to connect to TM or build there, please contact a Master.

***WARNING***

TestMUD is a development MUD and always a work in progress. The code is consistently unstable and 
crashes are both common and expected. Please make sure that you are mindful of these facts before
you come and complain to the Masters about how the game crashes every 5 minutes.

   In chat mode, anything your character types gets sent as a SAY directly to
the room you're in.  This INCLUDES GAME COMMANDS!    

To turn on chat mode, type: chat
If you need to type a command during chat mode, prefix it with two slashes '//'
To end chat mode, type /s.

Example

> chat
> hey whats up thor?
Mook says 'hey whats up thor'?
> who 50
Mook says 'who 50'
> //sleep
You go to sleep.
> /s
You return to the real world.

Available to all with a restring token
 
Usage: restring <item> <short/long/keyword/action> <new string text ...>
**action editing is for immortals only
 
The RESTRING command lets you change an object's name, description, and
keywords without changing the item's stats. It's useful for 'personalizing'
equipment for mortals who win quests, or otherwise.
 
You can restring KEYWORD, SHORT, LONG, and ACTION descriptions.
 
Restrung items do not have permanence and cannot be reloaded.
They must be re-created from the original object if the wearer
loses it to subberdeath, serverdeath, or a DT.


***IMPORTANT***
We trust people to be responsible with the restring system. 
If at any time you do a restring which is deemed offensive by 
the staff, refusal to immediately restring it again may result
in your item being confiscated and disposed of. This is a family
mud, lets keep it clean.

Space Engineer Level 68
 
Usage: rebuild wreckage object
 
With this ability a Space Engineer can rebuild a hull wreck into a workable
ship.  The engineer must be creative in the rebuilding process, and so the
new ship will have little in common to its original source.  Only the size
of the ship will remain similar, although the more powerful ships will
drop more effective hulls to rebuild.
 
Some NPC ship technicians can also rebuild wrecked hulls, which are obtained
from destroyed NPC space mobs, but Engineers will on average produce a 
better ship with the same materials.
