.NA pray "Interacting with the Deity"

|
There is one country in the game that has no material possessions yet
|
|
owns everything...
|
|
That country is country #0 (often called \*QThe Deity\*U).
|
|
The power of this ethereal country is unbounded --
|
|
it can do anything from creating a civilian
|
|
(as was the case with the first civilian),
|
|
to literally moving mountains.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Despite this great power The Deity keeps his hands out of the game
|
|
and country #0 only gets involved when there is a problem with
|
|
the source code, or prohibited activity is suspected.
|
|
The most common form of prayer
|
|
is the telegram; if you should be in need of aid type:
|
|
|
|
.EX pray
|
|
|
|
When the program requests your message for The Deity,
|
|
state it simply:
|
|
.NF
|
|
Enter telegram for your Gracious Deity
|
|
undo last line with ~u, print with ~p, abort with ~q, end with .
|
|
<512> I can't do anything!!!!
|
|
<488> HELP!!
|
|
<481> .
|
|
.FI
|
|
If this doesn't get helpful results then you should send a
|
|
second prayer with more specific details. e.g.
|
|
.NF
|
|
<512> Every time I type any command which requires a BTU
|
|
<461> I get dumped out of the game. Can you help me?
|
|
<413> .
|
|
.FI
|
|
.s1
|
|
This last message is sure to move the compassionate Deity to
|
|
provide help.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In general, when you encounter problems, be as specific about them
|
|
as possible. Include a transcript of the output of the problem,
|
|
if available. The more information you provide, the easier it is
|
|
for the deity to give you a quick & fair fix for the problem.
