 1. ABOUT THIS FAQ
 [fill in later]
 
 INSTALLING & SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
 Easy, put the cd in. autoplay will connect the server and player. 
 game is pretty low on memory reqs, pesterchum doesn't lag or anything.
 v. useful when talking to your co-player. Sburb itself doesn't have a chat
 system so you'll want to use an external program.
 COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PLAYERS IS VITAL.
 
 CONTROLS
 Sburb has a point and click interface. nothing fancy. don't know if there's
 keyboard shortcuts, i'll note them later.
 
 Your server can deploy objects from the registry and build and stuff.
 the player interacts with the objects and etc.
 
 Ok sburb gives the impression of a two player game, this is FALSE.
 You need a group, minimum is 3? no idea if the game can connect with the
 same person twice. when your server is done he needs to connect with a
 new person as a player. and so on. 
 
 ------
 [rough notes sent by other player, will refine later]

 Ok.
 i tried to experiment with the items. i must have broken something
 because this isn't worikng. I'm going to see what I can do but my server
 disconneted. our first player stopped respondign. couldn't understand
 him at al; but he sounds fucking terrified
 i don't know if i can follow him nwo but i have to try
 it's my fault we got this game anyway.
 fuck I'm such an idiot
 
 good luck

 Section 1: Entering the Medium
 A-1-The 2-player relationship in this game seems to consist of a server
 and a client. The server connects to the client and controls their environment
 in a normal immersive-simulation game type fashion, while the client apparently
 does all the rest of the stuff? There's no tutorial or anything so I'm not
 really sure how this dynamic works...
 
 
 B-1-Okay, it looks like there's some stuff here that you can put in your
 client's house, but I'm not really sure why...
 
 B-2-Make sure to put this stuff down in a good spot. Apparently it costs
 grist or something to move and you don't really start out with that much. 
 It looks like you can build stuff onto their house but that also costs grist 
 and I can't see any way of getting more...
 
 B-3-Okay my client did something and now this thing popped out of this 
 cruxtruder and also this weird cylinder thing. My client said something 
 about it fitting into another one of those contraptions. He went off to 
 do that so I'm looking at this sprite thing now. There's also this timer 
 thing on my screen, I don't know what it means...
 
 
 C-1-I accidentally tore off a section of the wall that had a picture of 
 my client's dead uncle on it. Then I ended up dropping it and it fell on 
 top of the sprite thingy.
 
 C-2-The kernelsprite turned into my client's uncle!?!?!?
 
 
 D-1-My client's starting to freak out because apparently there's a meteor 
 coming for his house! Is this part of the game!? I gave him the last thing 
 from the item registry. It was some card with holes in it.
 
 D-2-This is weird, my client did a bunch of stuff with the machines and 
 the end result was a giant blue grandfather clock. I accidentally broke 
 it and then my client's house suddenly appeared in another place altogether!? 
 The kernel sprite thingy did some weird stuff and then started talking to my 
 client...
 
 Section 2: The Medium
 A-1- Okay, my client's uncle said a bunch of stuff about the game, I guess 
 he's like the tutorial person? Apparently my client went to some place called 
 the land of light and thunder and a bunch of other stuff I didn't really get.
 
 
 B-1-This whole place is just a bunch of mountains with light coming down 
 from the sky and everything's all rumbly and loud. I guess this is the first 
 level of the game? The uncle sprite thing said I had to build my client's 
 house up to this weird thing in the sky called a gate, and I guess that leads 
 to the next level? I still don't know how to get grist though
 
 
 C-1-Now these things called imps are popping up everywhere. I guess they're 
 enemies since my client has to kill them. They keep dropping stuff when they 
 die though so I guess that's good. I started building my client's house up a 
 little bit. This'll take a long time though, my client isn't very good at 
 strifing. I wonder if I can help him...
 
 C-2- We pretty much did this whole process for a while and built my client's 
 house up to the gate, but then this big imp thing appeared and totally mauled 
 my client. I guess it's called an ogre? What am I supposed to do now? Is the 
 game over, will it reset or something? I don't think I ever saved it...
 
 C-3- Okay I'm starting to freak out here. My client's body is just lying there, 
 I think he's really dead. Oh man this is awful, he was my best friend, isn't this 
 just supposed to be a game!? The sprite thing is flipping out right now, I think 
 it's trying to tell me something? I Can't tell what it's saying though
 
 D-1- I just noticed that the sky outside my house turned a funny color from my 
 window. I looked out there and there's a meteor in the sky! It looks like it's 
 coming for me! I don't even have a cruxtruder! I think I'm really going to die 
 right now, oh my god! 
 
 DONT PLAY THIS GAME IT WILL KILL YOU! I'm going to update this one last time 
 with that warning which is really serious, I mean it. I'm going to try and run 
 away so I don't die from the meteor. I'll try and update this again if I can 
 get to safety. goodbye
