                          For a long time SHADES was just such a glorified single-user game.
                          Eventually Hazeii added the black tower (based on Moorcock) to get in
                          which required two seperate players rining two bells in different
                          locations at the same time. Additionally, to exit the tower
                          required one player to climb into a chamber (with all the EQ), and
                          the other to stand outside and push a button. The burdened player
                          would then find themselves in the swap, and the button pushing
                          player would be trapped under the tower until he was magically
                          summoned (presumably by the compatriot he set up to the swamp).
                          This exit ritual required extra trust because SHADES' summon spell
                          caused the summoned individual to drop everything they were carrying
                          of value.
                          
                          So: To get in you need two people. To get out you need two people,
                          and one must trust the other both with all their valuable
                          possessions, and the obligation to rescue them from the tower.
                          
                          I took __months__ before anybody really figured this out, despite
                          Hazeii dropping more and more obvious hints and even spelling the
                          damn thing out in the reponse messages. Finally he quietly told a
                          few wiz'es and had them pass it on the sly with mortal characters to
                          a few known gabby players.
