You will be given a guest name - e.g. meta-guest or bazin guest or..or...

Now go to the termilus= room by typing

This should bring you into the terminus= room

Additional info start every conversation with " (conversation marks) when you have finished a statement, press the return key.

The concept is to focus on an art based theoretical paper. The transcript text from the MUD/MOO site will be made available globally through the website address.
