5.6 Private messages between individuals.

Another, more terse, form of communication is via the MSG system. This will allow you to send brief messages (at the cost of five gold pieces) to unavailable players, MSG <player> <text> being the syntax. The intended player will be notified of any unread messages upon his next play of Avalon and can read them at any time using the command RMSG. These short messages are stored indefinitely for your perusal, although you may find it necessary to CMSG (clear your messages) every once in a while, to avoid getting bogged down with ones you have already read. This brief messaging system also has the function of informing you of any significant changes to your character that have taken place while you have been absent. For example, someone may have declared you an enemy of their township, or some deity may have given you their favour.
