SYNTAX	EXAMPLES
1. acl	1. acl
2. acl add <character name>	2. acl add Poobah
3. acl remove <character name>	3. acl remove Poobah

USE:

Use form one to view an access control list which you own.
Use form two to add a character to an access control list which you own.
Use form three to remove a character from an access control list which you own.

Access control lists are pretty much what they sound like: a list of character names who are allowed to access something which you control. Typically this'll be the entrance to your Player House. But there might be other similar things you'll want to share.

To use the ACL command you must be in a location in which an access-controlled object exists, such as the front door to your Player House. Naturally, you must be the owner of that controlled object.

Note that ACLs are always case-insensitive. "Poobah" is the same as "poobah" is the same as "POOBAH" is the same as "pOObAh".

"Two of the most common approaches [to academic study of] adventure games seem to be apologetics and trivialization. Both generally fail to grasp the intrinsic qualities of the genre, because they both privilege the aesthetic ideals of another genre, that of narrative literature, typically the novel. For the apologists, adventure games may one day -- when their Cervantes or Dickens comes along -- reach their true potential, produce works of literary value that rival the current narrative masterpieces, and claim their place in the canon. For the trivialists, this will never happen; adventure games are games, they cannot possibly be taken seriously as literature nor attain the level of sophistication of a good novel. Although the trivialists are right -- adventure games will never become good novels -- they are also making an irrelevant point, because adventure games are not novels at all. The adventure game is an artistic genre of its own, a unique aesthetic field of possibilities, which must be judged on its own terms. And while the apologists certainly are wrong, in that the games will never be considered good novels, they are right in insisting that the genre may improve and eventually turn out something rich and wonderful. This may or may not happen, so the only way to understand the genre is to study the various works that already exist and how they are played."
