[1] Introduction

   [1-1]: Forward

  This is the FAQ of alt.games.myth, and it should be read in full before posting. This FAQ is one of a group of 3 FAQs:

The alt.games.myth FAQ (you're reading it)
      Covers issues specific to the newsgroup alt.games.myth
The Myth FAQ
      Covers Myth: The Fallen Lords
The Myth II FAQ
      Covers Myth II: Soulblighter

If you are posting to alt.games.myth, please read all the appropriate FAQs. That is, all 3 unless you are not concerned with one of the games, in which case you can skip over its FAQ.

As much as we try to keep all information in the FAQ completely accurate, undoubtably errors will creep in. Please correct us. We're only human.


[3] Where can I find alt.games.myth?

If you're not familiar with newsgroups, take the time to read about them before even attempting to access any.

You may see the group referred to as AGM2. Many of the regulars consider the original AGM (alt.games.m*) to be alt.games.marathon, a group dedicated to Bungie's Marathon series. Thus, AGM2 is the second group to bear the initials AGM. Yes, there are other groups that have names in the form a*.g*.m*, but we really don't care about them.


[4] What should I NOT post?

A basic understanding of Usenet culture is necessary beforehand. That said, here are some more specific things not desired in this group:
