MOO as chat server

LambdaMOO is set up at telnet://phoenyx.net:7777 for anybody 
that wants to fiddle around with it.

The descriptions are needing something; there apparently isn't an 
obvious-exits command in LambdaCore.  The floor plan and most of 
the descriptions, if anyone cares, is lifted from the Roadside Inn in 
Fantasy Hero.  Whee.

There's an @exits command for wizards... shouldn't be hard to adapt that
to normal users.  *But* in my vast experience in writing text adventures,
all exits should be obvious from the descriptive text.

Some M* have the equivalent of a look+exits when you first enter a room, 
so putting them in the descriptions come out redundant.  Obviously, 
Lambda isn't one of them.

Anyway, since we're discussing the server in at least three places so far,
I'm going to make an executive decision, and move all the discussion 
thereon to fh_users+irc (yeah, I know "IRC" is kind of limiting, but "+chat" 
is a magic setting right now.  Any subtopic named +chat doesn't get 
archived to the web forum).  Anybody isn't a member of that list, and wants 
to be in on the playtesting, development, or general opinion-expressing 
about the Firehawk software (what runs the Phoenyx), bop over to 
http://www.wirebird.com/fh_users/ and sign up.  (By mail, because the 
navbar isn't general-case enough yet and it doesn't work on that domain, 
dangitall.)
