====== Cautionary Tales ======

This page is dedicated to past GM faux pas, and overall general tips for the new GM.  What not to do, what to be careful of.

===== Cave Entrances =====

When flying, a GM will "fall" into cave entrances, and potentially die.  Avoid cave entrances when flying.  If you find you're having trouble interacting with objects (too far away), you most likely fell into a cave, but are still seeing yourself as above ground.  You will need to find an entrance to the cave, enter the cave, and exit it to fix it.

===== Summoning Thousands =====

Pollo once summoned thousands of snakes and slowed the server to a crawl.  Be careful to enter a low number when summoning.  Staying at 20 or below is a good number.

===== Terraforming Terror =====

When using the terraforming commands, be very careful.  It is easy to get the direction wrong, or enter a high number that cuts a deep gouge in a mountain.  I know, I did it and had to repair it.

More to come.  My mind is mush right now.

===== Holes in the World =====

Do not use wall textures (for instance) on the ground.  It can open a hole on the tile(s).  I wasn't the one who fixed the issue, so I don't know what is required.  I assume you paint the area with a correct texture.

===== Dragons Attack =====

It's easy to accidentally select an actual dragon instead of a dragon mount.
