Tell me in the comments what you like to see as far as code when you log onto a mux for the first time. Things like +Weather. Things that add to the element or make the character that you want to create easier to play.
What kind of game?
99.9995% of the people like phone talk/texting functionality.
I like complete news files and simple chargen. The simpler the better.
Other than that, pour all your effort in making people feel welcome and included with things to do.
A +where that is as condensed as possible, such that it says like, <Room Name> - <Everyone In The Room>
A +hangouts list which you can +go to named or numbered hangouts from
A +join/+summon that doesn't make me do a dance to wait for everyone I wanna summon to go IC first. Have the act of +joining someone IC make you IC.
+temprooms
Tie all my alts together somehow and then do things like track if a bbs message is read or not globally.
Posebreak!
+where/ic
@mail allows you to write as you go.
@mail person=subject
-A line of text.
-Append some text.
@mail/proof (I think; doing this on phone on the fly)
--
And sent. If you’ve been using the one line only version all this then me I’m sorry.
@thenomain Sounds like he's @fortydeuce plays Penn games, which only have a one line version.
@ixokai Nope, Arx, but same thing.
@mail - lists all mail in player's mailbox
@mail # - read mail by the given number
@mail/raw # - read mail by given number without ansi evaluation
@mail/quick [<player>[,<player2,...]/<subject>=<message>
@mail/org <org name>/<subject>=<message>
@mail/delete # - deletes mail by given number
@fortydeuce Oh! I never think of Arx as a mush in the context of code questions so never thought of that. Gotcha 
@ixokai No prob! But yeah, I find not being able to use the Penn/Tiny/Brandy @mail invoker with the -newlines forever annoying. 
I'd put in a +request, but it's a) not annoying enough to request and b) probably somethng that would require recoding the @mail from scratch, and @Tehom and NV get enough code +requests from me that I feel I'd make their brains explode if I put this in.
I’m just going to ping @Griatch and wait. (Not the only Evennia coder, but The Evennia Guy.)

Piggybackin. Has there been a +help/search <Tupac>?
Edit. Fuck it. Keepin that typo. ^topic
@shincashay
Sometimes. There is one in Evennia base but I’ll be honest, it’s pretty bad.
I think the @mail in Arx is their own design and not the one from Evennia's contribs. But it's good with input on things at any rate!
As for the help bag-of-words search, yeah it's pretty primitive and it shows with a larger help suite. I've not had time to work on the help system in base Evennia since it was originally created many moons ago - it's one of the older parts of the code base. Do consider making a Feature Request with the changes/features you'd like to see so it's not forgotten and is tracked properly.

@shincashay If you're curious...
No help entry found for 'tupac'
Suggested: put, autoattack, +autoattack, @spectate_combat, Compact
Make it so that +help works with either who or +who. I hate hate hate when I have to put a + in front of every help topic.
@tnp I agree on this one heartily.
Though in all sincerity, I'd love to see an all around revision of the various +help help +shelp +help bb (and the list just goes on and on) commands for MUX. We are really at the point at which a game needs a +help file just to list where all the other variants of +help and what they cover are. 
Oh fucking well.
Don't forget jhelp!
Maybe just keywords then. +help fight and then Clippy appears.
Did you mean +help combat?
Naw for reals just aliases that pull up the same thing.
