Tavern Commands:

<A> Make an Announcement. Do you have something of interest for 
all the patrons of the tavern? If so, pay the fee and post your 
announcement. It will stay there until the next announcement is 
posted. 

<B> Buy Something from the Bar. Had a trying day? Want a little 
something to soothe your nerves? Order up whatever your heart 
desires. You might even get it in a clean glass. Remember FedLaw
says, don't drink and fly. 

<C> Eavesdrop on Conversations. See that group of individuals 
gathered at the table in the darkest corner of the tavern? They 
seem to be engaged in some very engrossing dialogue. If you would
care to listen in and maybe even add some remarks of your own, 
use this option. 

<E> Order Some Food. You really need to keep your strength up so 
you can take on the challenges of the cosmos. Order up the Blue 
Plate Special (the food is blue, not the plate) and nourish 
yourself with some of the most memorable edibles this side of 
Barlaam. 

<G> Try Your Hand at Tri-Cron. Do you feel lucky, Punk? Put your 
money down and see if you can beat the odds. A simple game of 
chance might relax you and you never know, you might come away a 
big winner. The game is easy - the detailed instructions are 
available in the Tavern. The cost of playing is based on the size
of the Top Winner's Jackpot. You'll have 10 rounds against the 
house. If you win, the payback is 2 to 1. If you're the top 
winner, you receive the accumulated jackpot. 

<T> Talk to the Grimy Trader in Back. Not much to look at, but 
he can be a wealth of information. Depending on how many drinks 
he's had, his facts may be a bit suspect. Just ask him about a 
specific topic, give him a little inducement and he'll tell you 
what he knows. If you speak to him respectfully, he'll be fair 
to you. Otherwise he might try to take advantage of your need 
for information. You'll have to pay dearly for it, but he can 
sometimes get you information on specific Traders. 

<U> Use the Facilities. When Mother Nature calls, this option 
will allow you to answer. Feel free to read the graffiti to 
keep yourself entertained. You can even add some of your own 
prose or poetry but beware of what may be lurking in the next 
stall. 

<;> Chat with fellow bar-mates. This is a global command while 
you're visiting the tavern. Simply type this command, followed 
by the text you want others in the tavern to see. You can enter 
a multi-line mode by pressing this key and then a carriage 
return. Remember that this is a public establishment, so don't 
say anything you wouldn't want anyone else to hear. You never 
know who could be lurking in the crowd... 

<!> Tavern Help. Display the portion of the documentation 
describing the Tavern functions. 

<Q> Leave the Tavern. Exit back to the main area of the 
Stardock.
