The game of Five Stones is an old and mysterious pastime. It was invented, they say, by small creatures who live in shadowy places--civets, perhaps, or caracals, or who knows what. The game was inspired by the five tall obelisks that stand in a remote part of the Pridelands, their purpose and history unknown. In time, the game spread to all creatures, although only a few know the rules in their entirety. To play Five Stones, type 'invite name1 name2 name3...' You can invite as few as one person or many as you like. If everyone accepts your invitation, you will begin the game. The rules of Five Stones are secret. Only Zazu and Asrohc know them all, and they will only give them out as prizes for winning contests or drawing art for the MUCK. The only thing you know is the objective of the game: Collect five points without getting killed. If you are playing Five Stones and go idle on your turn, you will be eliminated after five minutes. You are encouraged to go to the Five Stones room for your games, but you can play it anywhere. Only one game of Five Stones can be played in any room at a time. It is possible that the rules will change slightly, and new possibilities may emerge from the stones over time. Try to find a pattern in the behavior of the stones. It is not random--not very random, anyhow. With cunning and patience, you may become a Five Stones master.
