`^Welcome to Legend of the Green Dragon. `n
`n`@
You wake up one day, and you're in a village for some reason. You wander around, bemused, until you stumble upon the Village Square. Once there you start asking lots of stupid questions. People (who are mostly naked for some reason) throw things at you. You escape by ducking into the Inn and find a rack of pamphlets by the door. The title of the pamphlet reads: \"Everything You Wanted to Know About the LoGD, but Were Afraid to Ask.\" Looking furtively around to make sure nobody's watching, you open one and read:`n
`n
\"So, you're a Newbie. Welcome to the club. Here you will find answers to the questions that plague you. Well, actually you will find answers to the questions that plagued US. So, here, read and learn, and leave us alone!\" `n
`n
~Thank you,`n
the Management.`n
<hr>
`^1. What is the purpose of this game?`@`n
To get chicks.`n
Seriously, though. The purpose is to slay the green dragon.`n
`n
`^2. How do I find the green dragon?`@`n
You can't.`n
Well, sort of. You can't find her until you've reached a certain level. When you're at that level, it will be immediately obvious.`n
`n
`^3. How do I increase my level?`@`n
Send us money.`n
No, don't send money - you increase your experience by fighting creatures in the forest. Once you've gotten enough experience, you can challenge your master in the village.`n
`n
Well, you can send us money if you want (see PayPal link)`n
`n
`^4. Why can't I beat my master?`@`n
He's far too wiley for the likes of you.`n
Did you ask him if you have enough experience?`n
Have you tried purchasing some armor or weapons in the village?`n
`n
`^5. I used up all my turns. How do I get more?`@`n
Send money.`n
No, put your wallet away. There *are* a few ways to get an extra turn or two, but by and large you just have to wait for tomorrow. When a new day comes you'll have more energy.`n
Don't bother asking us what those few ways are - some things are fun to find on your own.`n
`n
`^6. When does a new day start?`@`n
Right after the old one ends.`n
`n
`^7. Arghhh, you guys are killing me with your smart answers - can't you just give me a straight answer?`@`n
Nope.`n
Well, okay, new days correspond with the clock in the village (can also be viewed in the inn). When the clock strikes midnight, expect a new day to begin. The number of times a clock in LoGD strikes midnight per calendar day may vary by server. Beta server has 4 play days per calendar day, SourceForge server has 2. Other servers depend on the admin.`n
`n
`^8. Something's gone wrong!!! How do I let you know?`@`n
Send money. Better yet, send a petition. A petition should not say 'this doesn't work' or 'I'm broken' or 'I can't log in' or 'yo. Sup?' A petition *should* be very complete in describing *what* doesn't work. Please tell us what happened, what the error message is (copy and paste is your friend), when it occurred, and anything else that may be helpful. \"I'm broken\" is not helpful. \"There are salmon flying out of my moniter when I log in\" is much more descriptive. And humorous. Although there's not much we can do about it. In general, please be patient with these requests - many people play the game, and as long as the admin is swamped with 'yo - Sup?' petitions, it will take some time to sift through them. `n
`n
`^9. What if all I have to say is 'yo - sup?'?`@`n
If you don't have something nice (or useful, or interesting, or creative that adds to the general revelry of the game) to say, don't say anything.`n
But if you do want to converse with someone, send them an email through Ye Olde Post Office.`n
`n
`^10. How do I use emotes?`@`n
Type :: before your text.`n
`n
`^11. What's an emote?`@`n
`&AnObviousAnswer punches you in the gut.`n
`@That's an emote. You can emote in the village if you want to do an action rather than simply speaking.`n
`n
`^12. How do you get colors in your name?`@`n
Eat funny mushrooms.`n
No, put that mushroom away, colors signify that the character was integral to the beta-testing process - finding a bug, helping to create creatures, etc, or being married to the admin. (*cough*Appleshiner*cough*)`n
`n
`^13. Sup dOOd, iz it cool 2 uz common IM wurds in the village? Cuz u no, it's faster. R u down wit that?`@`n
NO, for the love of pete, use full words and good grammar, PLEASE! These are not words: U, R, Ur, Cya, K, Kay, d00d, L8tr, sup, na and anything else like that!`n

`&(Warning, the FAQs below might contain some spoilers, so if you really want to discover things on your own, you'd be better off not reading too far. This is not a manual. It's a self-help pamphlet.)`&
`n
`n
`n
`n
`n
`^1. How do you get gems?`@`n
To the mines with you!!`n
Actually, you can't mine them. Gems can be found in the forest during 'special events' that happen randomly - if you play often enough, you're bound to stumble across one at some point.`n
`n
`^2. Why do some people seem to have so many hitpoints at a low level?`@`n
Cause they're bigger than you.`n
No, really, they *are* bigger than you. You'll be big too someday.`n
`n
`^3. Does that have something to do with the titles that people have?`@`n
But of course!`n
Indeed, every time you kill the dragon, you get a new title and return to level one. So low level players with titles have had opportunities to embiggen themselves. (see Hall of Fame)`n
`n
`^4. Why does that old man keep hitting me with an ugly/pretty stick in the forest?`@`n
You look like a pinata!`n
It's a special event that can add or remove charm.`n
`n
`^5. Well, what's the point of charm?`@`n
To get chicks.`n
Well, actually, that *is* the point. Visit some folks at the inn, and you ought to be able to figure this one out. The more charm you have, the more successful you'll be wooing said folks.`n
`n
`^6. Okay, I saw the man in the forest and he hit me with his ugly stick, but it says I'm uglier than the stick, and I made it lose a charm point. What's going on?`@`n
You're clearly the least charming person on the planet. And if you're the person who actually *asked* this question, you're also the dumbest. Use a little power of inference, wouldja? No. Really.`n
Okay, we did say you were the dumbest, so: it means you currently have zero charm points.`n
`n
`^7. How do I check my charm?`@`n
Take a peek in the mirror once in a while.`n
We jest - there's no mirror. You'll have to ask a friend how you look today - the responses may be vague, but they'll give you a clue how you're doing.`n
`n
`^8. How do we go to other villages?`@`n
Take the train downtown. We're talking downtown.`n
Actually, there aren't any other villages to travel to. Any references to them (i.e. Eythgim folks you meet in the forest) only exist to give the game more depth. `n
`n
`^9. Who is the Management?`@`n
Appleshiner and Foilwench are in charge of this FAQ, but if something goes wrong, email MightyE. He's in charge of everything else. `n
`n
`^10. How did they get to be so darn attractive, anyway?`@`n
Lots of at-home facials, my dear!! MightyE especially enjoys the Grapefruit Essence Facial Masque.`n
