MUSE Ltd.: LS

LS

noun The abbreviation for the 'longsword', MUD's deadliest weapon. It is particularly good for fighters, as opposed to musers - one of the few advantages that the former have over the latter. There are four LSs at the start of a reset, but only one is usable - the rest are dummies that disappear when you try and pick them up. This stops people from racing to get them. The term appears in either upper or lower case, but is normally upper when pluralised. See BS, SS.
