Tenko: /* G - I */

Here are some of the words and phrases unique to mudding and to ''The Final Challenge'':

=== A - C ===
* [[Absorb]]: A shaman spell.

* [[Acceptance]]: The process of joining the following of an immortal takes two steps. 1) the mortal Worships the immortal. The Immortal Accepts the mortal. Warning: If you Worship an immortal without their permission, they have the ability to cast spells on you at that point, and may do so as an object lesson!

* [[Acid Blast]]: A mage spell.

* [[Act]]: A bard ability.

* [[Adopt]]: The process of adopting a 'pet' on TFC. Pets are class-based, and must be fed!

* [[Advertise]]: The command to take out a personal message in the newspaper.

* [[Adventure]]: The following of [[Zarous]].

* [[Alarm]]: A mage spell.

* [[Alignment]]: A descriptor for morality. On TFC, there are two primary alignments: [[Good]] and [[Evil]], which is based on the immortal that the player choses to worship. Within each Alignment is also a secondary categorization, of Chaotic or Lawful.

* [[Ambassador]]: The lowest rank of the Immortal pantheon.

* [[Animate dead]]: A cleric and shaman spell.

* [[Answer]]: A communication channel, usually used in conjunction with [[Question]].

* [[Areas]]: also known as zones. Individually written sections of the world of The Final Challenge. Each has their own challenges. Areas come in four types: [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Special_Areas Special Areas], [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Connector Connector], [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:EXP_Zones EXP Zones], or [http://wiki.tfcmud.com/index.php/Category:Racial_City Racial City]. Areas differ in the level of character they were written for. The vast majority of areas on TFC are unique to this mud.

* Armor class: also known as AC, indicates the amount of protection a given piece of equipment provides. A higher AC number indicates better protection. Note that for spells that affect AC, numbers below zero improve protection, which can be confusing to new players.

* [[Ash Moon Coven]]: The following of [[Bliss]]. Also referred to as simply Coven.

* [[Assault]]: A cleric spell.

* [[Attendant]]: The intermediate step of Immortality between Ambassador and Demigod/dess. An Attendant is assigned to a specific Follower Level Immortal to get hands on training in leading a following.

* [[Attunement]]: A shaman spell.

* [[Auction]]: A communication channel used for selling and trading items.

* [[Aura]]: The physical representation of one's [[Alignment]]. See also [[Alignment auras]].

* [[Backstab]]: A thief ability.

* [[Balance]]: (1) The following of [[Tokugawa]]. (2) A command to see how much gold one has stored on the [[Broker]].

* [[Bank]]: The banking system on TFC, accessed through three mobs: [[Mish]], [[Guido]], and [[Merrick]].

* [[Bard]]: A unique, triple-aspected class.

* [[Bear totem]]: A shaman spell.

* [[Become]]: A help file for those wishing to become an immortal on TFC.

* [[Bid]]: a command used in conjunction with [[Mish]], the [[Broker]].

* [[Bless]]: A cleric ability.

* [[BlissPoll]]: A series of polls, over several years, by a Retired Goddess, named [[Bliss]]. They oftentimes involved chocolate.

* [[Blynd]]: An ability available to all classes, at varying levels.

* [[Board]]: A 'followers-only' message list. Each [[Followings|Following]] has its own board.

* [[Boar totem]]: a shaman spell.

* [[Bots]]: slang for an series of programmed commands that take the place of a player at the keyboard directing the movements and actions of the character. Illegal on TFC.

=== D - F ===
* Debt (AKA: PK Debt): Debt is the 'weight' upon your soul for mis-deeds such as stealing, initiating combat and player-killing. Debt can vary from the temporary kind (for theft and an attack) to permanent (for player-killing). Debt can be [[Bribe]]d at the [[Clerk]] in [[Mountain of Knowledge]]. See Also: [[PK]]

* Evil: Only has an obligation to followers of the same Evil faith... and maybe not even then, if the god allows followers to harm each other. Evil from other faiths may or may not be trusted. Are the other Evil faiths plotting against you? Is your OWN faith plotting against you? Neutrals can be used for evil purposes. The Good are the foolish, and should be tricked, killed, stolen from and punished for their idiotic ideals. [[Giant-kin]] and [[rangers]] may become Evil, but due to their inherently good nature, they pay a price for such an action. Non-evil giant-kin and rangers, respectively, are automatically justified to attack (and kill) evil members of their group within the PK range) with no debt or even multi-kill penalties. Further, racist guards will not recognize evil giant-kin as true giant-kin. See also [[Alignment]]

* Fanatic (Good only): Unjustly attacks or kills evil pacifists or reprisalists. See also [[PK Classification]].

* FLI: Follower Level Immortal. A Demigod or Demigoddess, or Lesser God or Lesser Goddess in the pantheon of TFC.

=== G - I ===
* Golding: similar to randoming, Golding involves a player performing tasks to get gold. This usually involves either killing monsters or looting treasure.

*Good: Will likely help any other Good, and may decide to help others if this aid supports their guiding beliefs. They will think long and hard before willingly consorting with Evils or helping Evil flourish, even if urged to do so by noble intentions, for most hold that the end does not justify the means. [[Ogre-kin]] may become Good, but due to their inherently evil nature, they pay a price for such an action. Non-good ogre-kin are automatically justified to attack (and kill) Good ogre-kin (within the PK range) with no debt or even multi-kill penalties, and racist guards will no longer recognize them as a true ogre-kin. See also [[Alignment]]

=== J - L ===

=== M - O ===

* Miscreant: Unjustly attacks or kills anyone. See also [[PK Classification]].

=== P - R ===
* Pacifist: Does not generally attack or kill others justly or unjustly, although they may or may not fight back when initially attacked. See also [[PK Classification]].

* PK Classification: Individual characters are classified into PK classifications, based on who they have attacked or killed RECENTLY. Thus, it is possible for someone who has killed a large number of people in the past to be a pacifist a few weeks later. There are 6 PK classifications: PACIFIST REPRISALIST VIGILANTE MISCREANT FANATIC SOCIOPATH. These classifications can also potentially have an impact on PK debt and other factors, as well.

* Randoming: the task of killing a high volume of monsters, usually low level, in order to get randomly created magic items.

* Reprisalist: Tends to take advantage of justifications from being attacked or killed. Does not generally attack or kill unjustly. See also [[PK Classification]].

=== S - U ===
*Sociopath: Unjustly attacks or kills anyone. The difference between a sociopath and a miscreant is volume. See also [[PK Classification]].

=== V - X ===
* Vigilantes: Commits unjustified attacks or kills, but generally only against vigilantes, miscreants, fanatics, or sociopaths. See also [[PK Classification]].

=== Y - Z ===

Tenko:

* Thank you for your additions to the Glossary, Tenko!! If you wouldn't mind, could you please match the existing formatting? (Ie, words in lower case, rather than all caps, and where applicable, keep things on one line? Also, don't forget to link to existing pages, if the definition references helps that Katrana's already made pages for. Your additions are appreciated!! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 05:00, 1 June 2011 (MST)
** Yes certainly. I will keep original formatting. I apologize for that. Question, do you mean I should include this word for example: PK CLASSIFICATION and keep in lower case so that it looks like this PK Classification. Also, I do not know how to link to existing pages. I was looking at making links, but was totally baffled by it. Made a couple stabs at it. Your assistance will be needed and appreciated on how to link to existing pages. Thanks, Cordir. ~Tenko~
*** Thank you! Yes - please do use lower case as you did in your paragraph above. To create an internal link, you use the double brackets "[[" on either side of the words. When in doubt, you can always scan the entries above yours, to get hints on how its done! (Also, if you put four tildes "~" together with no spaces, it signs your name and the time you posted.) [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 07:10, 1 June 2011 (MST)
**** Just as an FYI: I saw you were having some difficulty with links on other pages: Not everything that it makes sense to link to, has a page built for it just yet. (PK Classification, etc) Wikis are also very very particular about capitalization with links. A link to "pk classification" won't properly link to a page that is named "PK Classification." Also, when you're using the pipe "|" character in a link, what is to the LEFT of the pipe is the actual page name, what is to the right can be any associative term. You'll see this used for player pages a lot. The player name might be "Strider Elessar", but the page name is "Strider". The pipe would be used to display "Strider Elessar" while linking to "Strider": <nowiki>[[Strider|Strider Elessar]]</nowiki> I hope that helps! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 07:17, 1 June 2011 (MST)
***** Thanks, Cordir. It helps a little. I was trying to link '''"pacifist"''' from the '''"Score"''' page to '''"Pacifist"''' on the '''"Glossary"''' page. Not sure how to do that. Any ideas? ~Tenko
*Cordir, I have noticed that some important TFC terms and definitions are duplicated in more than one place in the wiki. For example ''Evil'' and ''Good''. For discussion sake, do you think having these terms/definitions in more than one place is necessary? I think terms/definitions might want to be in one place in the Glossary section. What is your opinion? [[User:Tenko|Tenko]] 09:28, 2 June 2011 (MST)
** Hi Tenko: That's why you will see that the majority of the Glossary definitions I wrote up are very minimal, but the link to the more complete HELP entry. Also, for your examples of Evil and Good, there's the official HELP EVIL, there's the spells involving evil - dispel, detect, protection vs - and there's other entries like the University of Evil. Each of these is a unique instance. I don't want the glossary to be the be all, end all of the wiki: it should simply be another means of finding the HELP file you need, and getting a brief overview. [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 22:10, 2 June 2011 (MST)
***Ok thanks - I understand and agree! [[User:Tenko|Tenko]] 12:29, 3 June 2011 (MST)

* Thank you for your additions to the Glossary, Tenko!! If you wouldn't mind, could you please match the existing formatting? (Ie, words in lower case, rather than all caps, and where applicable, keep things on one line? Also, don't forget to link to existing pages, if the definition references helps that Katrana's already made pages for. Your additions are appreciated!! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 05:00, 1 June 2011 (MST)
** Yes certainly. I will keep original formatting. I apologize for that. Question, do you mean I should include this word for example: PK CLASSIFICATION and keep in lower case so that it looks like this PK Classification. Also, I do not know how to link to existing pages. I was looking at making links, but was totally baffled by it. Made a couple stabs at it. Your assistance will be needed and appreciated on how to link to existing pages. Thanks, Cordir. ~Tenko~
*** Thank you! Yes - please do use lower case as you did in your paragraph above. To create an internal link, you use the double brackets "[[" on either side of the words. When in doubt, you can always scan the entries above yours, to get hints on how its done! (Also, if you put four tildes "~" together with no spaces, it signs your name and the time you posted.) [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 07:10, 1 June 2011 (MST)
**** Just as an FYI: I saw you were having some difficulty with links on other pages: Not everything that it makes sense to link to, has a page built for it just yet. (PK Classification, etc) Wikis are also very very particular about capitalization with links. A link to "pk classification" won't properly link to a page that is named "PK Classification." Also, when you're using the pipe "|" character in a link, what is to the LEFT of the pipe is the actual page name, what is to the right can be any associative term. You'll see this used for player pages a lot. The player name might be "Strider Elessar", but the page name is "Strider". The pipe would be used to display "Strider Elessar" while linking to "Strider": <nowiki>[[Strider|Strider Elessar]]</nowiki> I hope that helps! [[User:Cordir|Cordir]] 07:17, 1 June 2011 (MST)
***** Thanks, Cordir. It helps a little. I was trying to link '''"pacifist"''' from the '''"Score"''' page to '''"Pacifist"''' on the '''"Glossary"''' page. Not sure how to do that. Any ideas? ~Tenko p.s. the 4 tildes put my signature, not my name, so i guess i need to delete my signature in my profile?
