Ocean Home - Where friends come to meet

When you log into Oceanhome for the first time you do not have many commands to use. Don't worry. We are going to fix that now!

Below you will find a sample login. The white text is what you will see on the screen, the BOLD GREEN TEXT IN CAPS are instruction sets for you that will not appear on the screen.

When you log on for the first time you should see a screen something like this ( We are leaving out all of the ASCII pictures as they do not translate well to html )

Give me a name: acidburn
New user...
Give me a password: zerocool

Rule 1 : This is an over 18 talker. If you are not over 18 please leave now!!
Rule 2 : Please try not to swear in a public area. Although you may not find
it offensive some people might. So please try to keep that to
private rooms. The occasional slip-up is alright, and words like
Damn or the occasional Shit, are okay.
Rule 3 : Do not ask for a promotion in levels. If you are deemed worthy of
promotion, then you will be promoted.
Rule 4 : No illegal dealings are to take place on the talker,
ie, the selling of drugs, illegaly copied materials, pornography,
etc. I know it seems a little over the top to be telling you this,
but it's for our own interest ;)
Rule 5 : No multiple accounts. If you want to change your alias or would like
an alias deleted, then use suicide or smail a wiz about it.
Rule 6 : No harrassment of any kind is acceptable. Please treat other users
in a friendly, polite way. Wouldnt you like to be treated like
that as well?
Rule 7 : NO ADVERTISING OF TALKERS. THERE WILL BE A TALKER BOARD FOR THIS
Rule 8 : English is the main language of this talker. Please be considerate
of others and speak in english. If you want to speak something else,
go to a private room!

WELCOME TO OCEANHOME
You have entered the station through an airhatch that is connected to the
transport submarine. Walking down a few wet steps and getting a little damp
from the leaking hatches, you come to a large central hub. This area is
huge with shops and bars going off to all sides. Three huge doorways
lead off from the South, North and West. Real grass surrounds the
walkways and in the middle is an area with plush comfortable chairs and
couches. People walk hand in hand around this area.. A huge 8 foot iguana
called Tsushiro, named after a famous Japanese actor, makes his home here.
Today's news is shown on a holo-vision screen. To see the news, type
".news"; the map flickers on the wall, but to see it better, type ".map"
