| .:. NAMES |
Your name should be chosen with great care. We are a Mud based on the Wheel of Time Series from Robert Jordan. All names should fit into the Wheel of Time genre'. If you have never read the books do your best to choose a name and an Immortal will help you choose another if it is not appropriate. Here are some general guidlines for name creation: 1. Please do not name your character after characters in History, Movies, or other Fantasy novels. Examples: LukeSkywalker, Napolean, Drizzt, Garet'Jax, Bilbo, Augustus MickyMouse, Conan, Smurf, Wookie, Kirk, Spock, Yoda, Zeus......Etc. 2. Please no Profanity in your name. Examples: You know what we mean. :) 3. Please do not use actions as your name. Examples: Kill, Speed, Fighter, Hero, etc. 4. Please do not string two words together, using capitols or otherwise. Examples: CatDancer, TreeBoy, SwordChopper, PlantEater, etc. 5. If a name is too similar to another that is currently playing, an Immortal or VisGuide will help you choose another. 6. We are more than happy to help you choose a name that you will be proud of and will fit well in the World of A Moment in Tyme. 7. A good way to choose a name is determine if a mother would truly name her child the name you are choosing. 8. The best criteria is to use common sense, better to do it now than to hold up your authorization. 9. The Imm staff on Tyme reserves the right to revoke particular names, even if they otherwise fit the general criteria. (This includes final judgment on reservation of names, if applicable.)

Common Language/New Tongue All modern language in the world of the "Wheel of Time" stems from the Old Tongue. All people of the world speak the common language, be they from the Westlands, Shara, Seanchan, Seafolk, or Aiel. It is thought by scholars that the Old Tongue was kept alive through the publication of books printed around the time of the Breaking. The common language, or "new tongue" was a vulgar form of the Old Tongue during the time of the Ten Nations and took over as the dominant language during Artur Hawkwing's time. Trade and invasion throughout the world as well as the continuation of the printed word are most likely the causes for the spread of the common language.

Guild members switch their guild's channel with its tag, such as channels vg. channels repeat decides whether you see your own messages echoed back. To see who is listening, use channels who ooc for the OOC channel, or channels who common for the usual channels at once. OOC ways to talk: ooc is the global channel for Out Of Character conversation. Tell is a private message to one player, wherever they are. Question and answer are the public channels for having questions answered, and newbienet is a good channel for newcomers to ask on; players not yet in any guild, the Visitor Guides and the Immortals can use it. Osay is OOC talk heard only in your own room. Each multiguild has a channel of its own, used with its tag, and vg is the Visitor Guides' channel. Glt is the Guild Leader channel, qsay is for those currently in a quest, gsay and gtell talk to your group rather than your guild, and shout reaches the whole game but is only available if it has been granted to you. IC ways to talk: say is for speaking aloud in your room, and emote is the most commonly used command for showing your character's actions and words during RP. Pemote is much like emote, slightly altered but still very useful. Whisper and ask speak quietly to one person in the room. To speak on a channel, type its name and then your words.

| .:. NPC |
Role-playing non-player characters (NPCs) is fully supported; this would include all types of characters that are nothing special, and who nevertheless make for the largest part of the population - cooks, peddlers, merchants, etc. The syntax for the command is: npc <name> <type of person> . Example: npc Bobette the cook. If you wish to NPC a character from a specific guild, you must get the approval of the Guildleader of that guild. If you wish to NPC a character not affiliated with any specific guild but with some other special ability (channeling, ter'angreal, exceptional skill with arms, etc) then you must get approval from the appropriate Immortal before playing the NPC. See also: emote, say, pemote. |
