How to Play TriadCity The TriadCity Players' Guide How to use the HelpBot TriadCity has a number of automated citizens of more, and usually less, intelligence. One of these is our automated HelpBot, a TC character who can answer basic questions about the game, the city, and a few other things. If the bot is logged in, simply Ask or Tell it your question, like this: "tell help how do i gain experience?" Now, you should note that, although we're hoping to build the Help bot into a comprehensive resource over time, inevitably, its answers are likely to be sketchy. There's really no substitute for reading the Players' Guide and the FAQ. The TriadCity HelpBot is a modified JFRED chatterbot, courtesy of Robby Garner and Paco Xander Nathan. Please check out the JFRED web site for more info. Be sure to let us know what "obvious" questions the Help bot should answer, which it doesn't! Thanks!

"The space of a fictional world is a construct, just as the characters and objects that occupy it are, or the actions that unfold within it. Typically, in realist and modernist writing, this spatial construct is organized around a perceiving subject, either a character or the viewing position adopted by a disembodied narrator. The hetertopian zone of postmodernist writing cannot be organized in this way, however. Space here is less constructed than deconstructed by the text, or rather constructed and deconstructed at the same time. Postmodernist fiction draws upon a number of strategies for constructing/deconstructing space, among them juxtaposition, interpolation, superimposition, and misattribution." --Brian McHale, Postmodernist Fiction (info)
