0. Be Respectful
Please use some common sense and etiquette when using the book system.
A. All the standard Erion rules still apply. Do not share Mission hints
or solutions. Do not harass players (such as revealing their alts if
they request you not to). Do not spam or abuse the book copy feature
to excessively litter. Do not attempt to impersonate other books or
deceive players using them.
B. Do not scam players, such as by creating a book, selling it, then
erasing or vandalizing the book's contents. If you are selling a book,
players should get what they pay for, although you can of course add
additional information to it later! The same applies for if you submit
a book to a library ‑ don't vandalize it after it's been approved.
C. If someone is selling a book or otherwise suggests that it shouldn't
be copied, please do not make a manual copy of the book. Support your
local authors! Plagiarism is bad, okay?
D. Don't be a jerk and vandalize others' work or kick off the original
author if you're added as a master or editor.
E. It's a good idea to save a local backup of anything significant that
you write, just in case. You can use the .ssc editor command to view
your page's contents with raw color codes and without line numbers.
1. Selling or Sharing Your Work
Books are items like any other, but with a special ID on them that's tied to
a central book database, so your work isn't actually stored on the item
itself. This means you can make as many copies as you'd like using the
book copy command, and share them as you wish or even sell them in your
player shop! You won't have to tediously copy the contents by hand. If you
plan on selling them, observe the rules above, and it's suggested you use
the book copy <book> disable syntax to stop others from freely copying it.
2. Be Creative!
You can use color codes in book titles (though it won't show in the room),
or in the contents of the books themselves! You can make biographies,
monthly newspapers, information compendiums, atlasses, personal notes, ASCII
art... there are many possibilities!
3. Player Names Associated with Books
An editor (or master) of a book uses a character name, even though
they are account‑bound. If you add somebody as an editor to your book,
all edits they do to that book, no matter which character on the account
it is from, will be credited to the character who was added as an editor.
For example, if characters A and B were on the same account, and A was
added as an editor, then they edit the book using B, it will say "last
edited by A". If B is also added as an editor, it will use B's name if
they edit using B, or will show A's name if they edit using A.
Hopefully, this feature should help preserve RP players' anonymity.
