WHAT IS THE WORLWIDE LORDNET?

The  Worlwide Lordnet is a very huge group of bbs hub sites spread across the
United States and Canada...for Networking the imensily Popular doorgame Legend
of the Red Dragon....This is made possible by a good friend and great Programer
Joseph Masters at S.O.S Software....I am ButcheR the Mother Hub for this Net
and host....

WHAT DO I AND MY USERS GET?

First off they get to play against hundreds of bbs's just like yours all across
the country by attacking them sending armies,infestations of diesieses and
forming teams and aliances with other board members..second they get a total
of  9 national Echos to write everything from hatemail to hints to there
friends across the contenent. And the response time for a reply is sometimes
less than 24 hrs....I challendge Fido or any message only net to beat that!

TESTING UNTIL JUNE 1ST
As you know there are a few problems to work out with each bbs in the net to
get everything flowing smoothly and let J.Masters Fine Tune his greatest
acomplishment  yet. So there is a kind of Anarchy in the NETat the moment
while everyone test there setup etc.. all will be corrected with the
following rules which take effect June 1st.

BANNED IGM'S
I have spoken with J. Masters the creatorof LNET about the IGM problem...the
solutuion that we found was some IGM's had the ability to cheat or was still
just to buggy for the NET....here's a list
Lord Realms...Banned due to being not a real IGM and requiring a drop file
              and due to bugs in the program and the ability to cheat.
Sandtiger's Bar...Same as above.
ALL CASINO'S....Same as above
TURGON'S DUNGEON.....Just until he works out a minor bug.

These IGM's must come off of your netted game.

SYSOP PLAY
Good news in this department..due to a program by Joseph Masters I'll be able
to detect high jumps in character abilities..so you sysops will be allowed
to play on your own bbs.

POLLING AND MAIL
You must poll no less than once per day.

COST AND TOLL HELP
Due to hub sites in the net that furnish to local boards under them and incur
all the cost of the LD polls to get the packets for themselves and someone
else and some even 10 boards under them...As of the first of June we will
require $2.00 a month from all the bbs's hub or not as fee to be in the net.
REASON is...the 2.00 charge per bbs....will allow  us to put in a 1-800 toll
free number for netmail which means not only the hub sites but all sites
will be able to send and receive netmail for free from the central site here
at  The Butcher's Shoppe..so  say if a bbs in california needed to send a
private message to a site in new york  they could netmail it hru here for free
and when the site in new york picked up that day they would get there packet
and netmail for free....I'm sure all can agree that the LD savings alone is
worth the 2.00 a fee per month..also it will allow us to put in a mail only
node available 24/7 and we plan on putting up 2 extra nodes besides that
so there will be 3 nodes available to the bbs and one toll free netmail line
which means no problem for connections.

COLLECTION OF THE FEE
The Hub sites will be in charge of the collections from the bbs under them
and the first payment is due from all boards in the net on June 15th and
then on each 15th after that. if you would like to pay up for a few months
at a time <Prefured but not required> then you hub sites make it known
plainly what each payment covers and from whom. If payment is not received by
the stated time then the lacking boards will be dropped from the next Site.dat
and thus being out of the Net. Send the payments to:
Billy Watford
2514 Avalon Rd.
Columbus, Ga
31903

NEW BOARDS 30 DAY TRIAL PERIOD
New boards joining the net will receive a 30 day trial period free of charge
to evaluate the net after that fee's are impossed.

800 TOLL FREE ONLINE?
The toll free number will be online June 30th after the first fee has been
collected and we've turned it on.

LNET REGISTRATION
Lnet must be registered within 30 days after LNET is online, You may register
through the net for a net fee of only 5.00 instead of the normal $10.00

BUGS
If you find a bug in LNET netmail me and i'll forward it to J.Masters we
talk daily.....and he fixes any problems with this net imediately since he is
in it..<G>
