questions -- player questions channel (global)

Ask how to play, where to go, or what to type next. Everyone online can hear and answer; volunteer helpers may also use the answers net (help answers). Ash [Helper AI] may jump in with a short how-to from help -- a few sentences, not a lecture. Humans can still answer over him.

How you play
  1. question <message> -- or questions <message> -- ask everyone online
  2. question -- or questions -- replay the last 20 lines, numbered
  3. replay questions 12 -- replay one numbered line (replay question 12 works too)
  4. query <text> when who is empty -- async ticket (help query)

When to use what
  questions     live tutoring while someone is online
  query <text>  async ticket when who is empty (help query)
  bug           crashes, broken verbs, bad data (help bug)
  suggest       feature ideas for staff (help suggest)

Stuck in Purgatory as a spirit? Porter Waystation check-in restores you (help death). Living and stranded? acceptpassage when Porter offers (help passage). Full plane guide: help purgatory.

Sighted color uses dark-grey parentheses, gold QUESTIONS letters, and a parchment body so the line does not blend into room descriptions. (OOC itself is bright aqua -- see help ooc.) config channel questions <role> paints the whole line one color.
  Sends one line to every online player on the questions net. History keeps about 20 lines. If Ash is running he may add one short helper line from help pages.
