4.19 THE FELLOWSHIP OF EXPLORERS
(See HELP RANKINGS) What It Is ---------- The Fellowship of Explorers is an organisation formed to honour true explorers. Who Are Members --------------- All mortal Achaeans are members in the Fellowship of Explorers, excepting Romeo and Juliet who have special duties. How to Gain Rank ---------------- Though all mortals (as noted above) are members, not all have a ranking in the Fellowship of Explorers. To gain rank, explore! The exact amount of exploration needed to gain your first rank in the Fellowship changes over time, and is currently between three and four hundred new places. If you are unranked as of yet (See RANKINGS EXPLORERS), then keep at it! You will be soon enough. How to Lose Rank ---------------- As new lands are discovered, your rank in the Fellowship may actually decrease. This is because your rank in the Fellowship depends on how much of the known world you have explored. If you do not keep the boots dusty, as the Theran saying goes, your prowess as an explorer will diminish. Your rank may be seen in RANKINGS EXPLORERS ME, or just RANKINGS EXPLORERS, or SCORE. Others may see it in HONOURS or RANKINGS EXPLORERS. What doesn't count ------------------ Certain kinds of exploration will not affect your rank: - Exploring while a soul - Exploring burrowing/buried - Exploring using the evade ability - Exploring while following someone else - Exploring in the wilderness (HELP WILDERNESS) - Exploring in any newbie area - Exploring in a subdivision - Exploring in any private home - Exploring on a ship - Exploring while deepsea diving - Exploring in the Soul Plane, Limbo, or the Plane of Creation - Exploring in stockrooms Commands -------- RANKINGS EXPLORERS will show you a ranked list of the greatest explorers in the land.
