RULES FOR WIZARDS ON PYROTO MOUNTAIN

 RULES FOR  WIZARDS  ON  PYROTO MOUNTAIN

--  Compiled by The Servant of TSOTL --

Last update  at  Pyroto  Time  484:1400


TSOTL  does not demand that the wizards

memorize a  long  list  of  rules,  but

there are  some  basic  ideas  that you

must absorb.  Repeated failure  to  ob-

serve  these  principles  may result in

the permanent  banishment  of your cur-

ent and future characters.


DUPLICATION

-----------  No wizard may ever control

another  wizard  by  means  other  than

are available online,  or use the pass-

word of another character, or let some-

body else use his password.


ZOMBIE

------  An exception to the rule above:

if you are unable to connect because of

some kind of  offensive action  by some

other wizard  which  does not  entirely

eradicate  your  wizard  (e.g. negative

Manna) you may create  one  (1)  ZOMBIE

character.


"Legal" zombies must follow these rules:


(A)  The zombie  must contain  the word

     ZOMBIE in its name.

(B)  The zombie must be named after its

     owner.   Thus,  if your  wizard is

     named  FRED,  your zombie would be

     named FRED'S ZOMBIE.

(C)  The zombie  must  not  rise beyond

     level fifteen (15).

(D)  If the zombie is banished or inca-

     pacitated,  you may create another

     zombie, named appropriately.  (For

     example:  FRED'S ZOMBIE #2)

(E)  As preceding characters come "back

     to life",  they  must  IMMEDIATELY

     request (via BESEECH)  the removal

     of their succeeding zombies.


APPEAL

------  TSOTL has decreed that his Ser-

vant will be the  final court of appeal

in matters related to Pyroto.


PROTECTION

----------  No wizard  may be  punished

for the breaking of a rule that has not

been  announced by the Servant of TSOTL

via the SCROLLS messages or the sign-on

messages and  subsequently  included in

this RULES list.


META-RULES

----------  Exceptions  to the  PROTEC-

TION  rule include any situations which

the Servant of TSOTL has determined lie

"outside the context of Pyrotian life".

Examples include  phone tapping or  in-

terference,  exploitation of major pro-

gram  bugs,  system-crashing,  physical

violence between participants,  subter-

fuges for gaining  illegal zombies  and

so forth.


SUGGESTIONS  Wizards  who use the  SUG-

-----------  GEST spell are expected to

present  well-punctuated  questions  in

the form of a sentence.  They must also

avoid dwelling  too much  upon a single

line  of  questioning.   The Servant of

TSOTL may penalize  repeat offenders by

single demotions, or by asking TSOTL to

lower his Esteem.


Also,  the answer provided MUST be cor-

rect.  The Servant of TSOTL  is permit-

ted to  demote a wizard  10  times  the

first time that the wizard  provides an

incorrect answer.   For the second off-

ense,  the Servant  may  demote him  25

times.  Disciplinary action for further

incidents is  entirely  up  to the dis-

cretion of the Servant of TSOTL.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
