Tinkered with the wrong files......

[defcon-1]

My problems started when I couldn't get ATITD to start. I figured I should delete everything and start over. Including ~/.egenesis. I got it to work by running the program with the "-nosound" option.

Now, when I login, the game sends me to some desert island. With a big sand "X" in the middle, and surrounded by a ring of mountains.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

euh, perhaps that's how jail looks like today?
I have no clue.
What do you see when you open the map with F3?
Any specific coordinates, or region in the lower left corner of that map?

This is indeed the GM jail. Hitting f3 or clicking on the sign post leads to a message 'Call a GM'. There should be no way to get off the island with out a GM.

Thanks for the replies. What's a "GM" and how do I get help from one?

GM = Game Master

I believe on your character's menu, you select Special ... > Call a Game Master > Normal GM call
