==Newsboards==
There are several ways to communicate with other characters in game, including tells and other organization channels. In addition, these organizations have newsboards that members may post to and read from.
Every House has a newsboard for both its novices and its full members. Each city has its own newsboard. If you are a member of a clan, you can probably access that clan's newsboard. There are also public news boards, an area for the administration to make announcements, and a poetry section.
To view what newsboards you have access to, use NSTAT. This will also display the total number of articles on that board, and the highest post number that you have read.
To read an article, simply use READNEWS <section> <post number>. To view a group of posts on a newsboard, use NSUMMARY <section> <starting post number>. For instance, NSUMMARY PUBLIC 8000 will display posts 8000-8019, and then you may READNEWS PUBLIC 8014 to view that particular post.
Writing news posts requires a bit more work. You must find one of Sapience's many newsrooms, and when inside one, use NEWS. From there, you must type SECTION <section> to enter the board that you wish to post to, and then WRITE. You'll be prompted as to what to do, and then you will enter Achaea's editor. For more help within the editor, use *HELP.
