                                 Introduction

Welcome to The Wild Side!.  This game is a trip -- on the wild side -- where
the object of the game is having sex as often and with as many people as
possible!  In our little fantasy world, you can enjoy any sexual behavior you
wish without ruining your marriage, contracting diseases, or hanging out in a
smoke-filled bar.  The worst thing that can happen to you here is that you'll
lose the game!

Like most adventure games, this one is organized as a series of rooms.  You
begin in room 1, and roam around looking for items to pick-up, people to have
sex with, and things to do.

When you encounter someone to have sex with, they may give you the cold
shoulder!  That's where the items come into play.  There are two types:
OFFensive, and DEFensive.  NOTE:  So you can tell them apart, OFFENSIVE items
are shown in green (on color monitors) and also have "(O)" after the name of
the item.  DEFENSIVE items are shown in red (on color monitors) and have "(D)"
after their name.

Offensive items are those items you use on someone else when you want to have
sex with them.  Each time you use an offensive item, their resistance will be
worn down a bit.  Sometimes you're lucky, and it'll take only one item to wear
down a user's resistance.  Other times, they may have a defensive item in
their possession!

Defensive items "repel" MATCHING offensive items, and prevent another player's
matching offensive item from having any effect on you when they use it.  A
user doesn't have to be online for a defensive item in their possession to
have an effect!  If someone is holding a DEFensive item, but it doesn't match
the OFFensive item used against them, it won't have any effect!

The various items have varying levels of strength.  The higher the strength of
an offensive item, the more effect it has when used on another player.  But be
aware that the matching defensive item has an equally powerful effect!

Whenever an item is used (either an offensive item you use on someone, or a
defensive item which counters someone else's advances) the item is "used"
and will be taken from you and returned to the game.  (Used items are returned
to a randomly selected room.)

New players are started out with some points to help get going.  Taking
defensive items, buying sex lube, and other activities take points away from
you.  Having sex (among other things) will add points to your score.  Things
like using the pay phone may award you with prizes - then again, it may cost
you points.

When you bump into a player in a room with you, you may wish to try and have
sex with them.  That starts by arousing them.  If you're really lucky, they'll
submit right away.  Usually you'll have to use one or more of your offensive
items on that person to break down their resistance to you - so make sure
you're carrying some defensive items (like a dildo, vibrator, etc.) before you
attempt to arouse someone else!

You may find someone recovering from a prior encounter.  Sometimes you can try
to arouse them again and get them to submit anyway, but doing so costs you
points.  The number of times it takes to get their attention varies; sometimes
it takes just once, other times it can take several attempts.  Remember - each
attempt takes its toll on your score!

Once the object of your affection submits to you, you can have sex in one of
four different ways.  Pick the one most appealing to you, and go for it!
You'll get points for your efforts.

You can leave a message to the person you just had sex with when you're
finished.  Doing so gets you bonus points.

The more sex you have, the experience you'll get.  You start out as a rookie,
then become experienced, then a stud (or studette!), then a pro.  The higher
the level you're at, the more points you get when you have sex - and the more
points you lose when you're penalized for something.

All of this mindless sexual fun comes at a cost, however - VD.  You can buy
protection (it's expensive) to prevent VD.  Without protection, the risk of VD
increases with each experience level.  If you get VD, you'll have to pay a
high cost for an injection to fix you back up again.  If you don't have enough
points for that, you're reset to ZERO!!!

The player with the highest score is declared the winner.  The sysop can do
this anytime he or she desires (usually monthly).  Then it's off to try to
become the winner all over again!

To add extra excitement to the game, you are allowed to buy your own room.
You get to "attach" your room anywhere you look (provided there's space for it
to fit).  Rooms are expensive, but you get bonus points when people have sex
in your room!
