I dI decided to write a "little" guide to the game, putting the focus on builds, crafting and combat mostly. Hope it will help the players to get a better understanding of the game.

I'm a true crafter of death and fluffy things. -Lina ^.^

How can you play FS? Why bother using both Mushclients and browser?

You could use MushClients or use a browser or use the Direct Game Control (http://flexiblesurvival.com/telnet) in a browser, which is the same as you would be using a MushClient so pretty useful for those who don't want to install a client.

Why bother using both Mushclients and browser too?
Not all parts of the game are accessible from client on the other hand some parts are only accessible from browser. Some things like shops, markets are much more easily accessed from the browser, so instead of using commands to check what is were and navigate there in client you could buy the items with 1 or 2 click using browser.

What stats can you play with?

This is a short summary of what you can choose or change to make your character unique and mold it to your liking.

Factions

You can read about them: http://wiki.flexiblesurvival.com/w/Category:Factions Sadly it's mostly just for RP, I haven't run across a situation when you gain something positive. On the side note if you become survivor (not member of the three factions you will need to eat edible salvage)

So what you must decide? Merits/Perks/Flaws

There are a few Perks only available at character generation. (Merits)

Which of them is notable?
Born Female and Born Male don't need explanation.
Virgin you should take it, there are quite a few badges around losing it or keeping it.
Prepackaged "You got infected before you were found and inoculated. You will start with infections chosen using the prepackage command." Basically, if you are using Client and type "prepackage" you will get transformed into a mutant depending on your faction. Why is it good? You will have mutant powers if you are not All natural. At the beginning, when you have just a few items, even a few mutant powers are a blessing to stay alive.

Flaws http://wiki.flexiblesurvival.com/w/Category:Flaws)

Prime fights

What you need for a prime fight? 1. Prime Specimen Primer, it cost 4 tokens at the shop 2. some Freecred 3. infection vials from the mutant 4.(PSAS UNIT located in the area) +1 a party!!!!
