I have seen many people use that in their description. For instance, I would add this as my description from the main menu: Welcome to The Unknown MUD! 0) Exit from The Unknown MUD. 1) Enter the game. 2) Enter description. 3) Read the background story. 4) Change password. 5) Delete this character. Make your choice: 2 Enter the text you'd like others to see when they look at you. Terminate with a '@' on a new line. Old description: ] ]The Peacekeeper hits you with such force that your neck snaps in two! ]You are dead! Sorry... ] ] ]Welcome to The Unknown MUD! ]0) Exit from The Unknown MUD. ]1) Enter the game. ]2) Enter description. ]3) Read the background story. ]4) Change password. ]5) Delete this character. ] ] Make your choice: ] ] This way when you look at the character in the game you will get this: The Peacekeeper hits you with such force that your neck snaps in two! You are dead! Sorry... Welcome to The Unknown MUD! 0) Exit from The Unknown MUD. 1) Enter the game. 2) Enter description. 3) Read the background story. 4) Change password. 5) Delete this character. Make your choice: <used as light> the wand of DragonSpyre <worn on head> a black knight's visor (invisible) <worn on ear> the earrings of Solace. <worn on ear> the earrings of Solace. <worn around neck> a spiked collar <worn around neck> a spiked collar <worn on finger> opal ring <worn on finger> opal ring <worn on elbow> a fiery elbow protector (invisible) <worn on elbow> a fiery elbow protector (invisible) <worn on hands> obsidian gauntlets <worn around wrist> opal bracelet <worn around wrist> opal bracelet <worn as shield> a studded shield <worn about waist> a red loincloth ..It emits a faint humming sound! <worn on body> platinum plate <worn about body> a golden robe <worn on legs> a pair of black eog greaves <worn on knee> a fiery knee protector (invisible) <worn on knee> a fiery knee protector (invisible) <worn on feet> obsidian boots <wielded> Holy Avenger <held> Horn of Destruction ..It emits a faint humming sound! <> shrug :) Tapo @ mud.net-connect.net 5000
