PK Survivalist's Handbook Vol I, Page 5
  by Rascyc
Funny quirks exist in some areas in the form of no-where rooms. These are rooms that actually hide you from the "where" command. Sometimes it works one-way (where you can still use the where command to see out), and sometimes it works both ways where you can't see out and people can't see in (climb a tree in Nendor for an example). These rooms are very useful, especially the one-way rooms. Although be warned, a good many of these are known across the vet population, and they're generally the first places checked when people get away.

Running itself is more about choosing your route and shaking your would-be killer. Run through areas as fast as possible, and as MANY areas as possible. The more frequent you shake yourself from the where list, the better. Use areas with a lot of area-exits to your advantage; a lot of people lose their prey in the arien plains cause there's a lot of routes to go. But watch out for the choke points in the world; these are usually the roads connecting the northern hemisphere with the southern hemisphere (imagine Var Bandor as the equator).

And above all else, use the where command when running. And never stop! Stay on the move until you find a good hiding spot, and then start spamming the where command until you recollect your thoughts. From there, it's a matter of figuring out what to do in return, if you want to return, or where you should hide next if you're found.


There's so much you can do in the world of survival, it's practically an artform at this point in Avendar's evolution. To write a guide to cover every possible point is almost impossible, but I hope I've written something that at least provides a few pointers, insights, and possible avenues of research.
