Normally when you get inducted you only get a little echo that says youre inducted. What about attaching a little reminder so when youve not been in a cabal before or its a long time ago so you get a little help get going.

For instance
You have been inducted into some cabal.
May we remind you of checking your skills spells, and the power command to see new abilities in that respect. To invoke a power use the call 'power' command, and to communicate with the other cabal members use cb <message>.

Or something like that... Or a little thing that list help entries that should be read... And at the same time explain about where is and items say at inner and what not.

Just a small idea.

To include a reminder to check 'help induction', which includes everything you mentioned and some more, along with cross-referencing other useful helpfiles.

I threw in a reminder for the inductee to check that. Good tip!

Three leader characters, 8 or 9 years of playing, been in every cabal except shadow and... alas... i didn't know there was a help induction.

do_help(ch, "induction);

do_help(ch, "induction);

I'm not sure of the syntax, but why spam the poor inductee with a full page of unexpected text? I went with a one-line reminder.

Mmmm..... unexplained bacon.

Not a bad idea. Most of us assume a newly inducted player has been in 50,000 cabals before, because they often have, but that's not always the case.
