"correct" is a very relative term... what's correct for one person's mud may not be even close for another person... that would be like me saying:
> cast 'armor' You mutter 'gragzarg y comdrin.' The correct way to do this is not to have them "mutter" anything at all... > cast armor You wave your magic wand around in the air like a music conductor. <huge pause for 3 hours while everyone thinks you're afk> You feel someone protecting you. Please bear this in mind when someone posts to the list asking for help on how to implement something a certain way, I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate other people telling you the 'correct' way to do things on your mud when you want them done differently...
