You may start logging into Cyberspace at 6:30am. Note that the
Cyberspace GM expert-type-person may not be around until 5pm, though,
so you're sort of taking your chances before then. If something
screws up, we'll try to fix it. Make sure to record any screwups you
see and mail them to us.
Some specific things not previously mentioned:
- idle avatars get punted after 5-10 minutes.
- only you can type. No macros, scripts, cut-and-paste, agents, AI's, etc.
- "status here" will tell you about the computer you're standing in.
- many corps lost their Hinternet connectivity when the Fall happened,
and haven't come back yet, so it's a relatively small place these days.
Sorry for the long wait. We'll be cleaning things up a lot over the
next day or so, so please report all bugs or annoyances and we'll fix
'em.
Jeremy
