== Rumor Server Concepts ==
The Rumor system is intended to allow regions to offer a way for players to start anonymous, but moderated, in character rumors for all other players to find through NPCs or quests.

The Rumor System comes in two parts - a standalone server script with a notecard of "starting" or "seed" rumors that the region admin

The second part is a Myriad Lite HUD module that provides the interface for the player to the rumor server.

This Rumor Server has also been upgraded from my prototype versions to allow the owner's objects (like BAM quest goals) to add pre-approved rumors.

A better interface is planned, as well as integration with NPCs.

== Rumor Server Setup ==
# Copy the Anti-Delay Manager and Node scripts from http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/AntiDelay_Node in your inventory
# Copy the Myriad Lite Rumor Server v0.0.4 20120317 script into an inventory script
# Create a server prim
# Drop in the Anti-Delay Manager and one or more copies of the Anti-Delay Node script into the server prim
# Copy the seed rumors into a notecard in your inventory
# Edit the seed rumor notecard to contain the starter rumors you want in your region to begin with and be always present, such as clues to region quests
# Drop the Seed rumors notecard into the server prim
# Drop the rumor server script into the rumor server prim
# Use the Tools Menu (v1 viewers, v2+ viewers you're on your own) to reset all scripts in the selection.
# The server is now ready to serve rumors.

== Using the Rumor System ==
