Parnassus is on a distinguished road
As a Smaug builder, I often see areas built using ORB. While this is a more efficient use of online time, I can often tell that ORB has been used because:
1. If there is an exit description, the room name of the room looked at will be on the same line:
>look east
A busy street awaits you.A City Street
2. Mobs with mob descriptions will have the health status attached to the description
>look guard
You don't want to mess with him!The city guard is in perfect health.
3. Quite often, the lines wrap one or two words for me since ORB seems to use a longer line length than my client.

Of course, many areas made through ORB don't have exit descs or mob descs so it won't show so much but this is dull.
>Look east
Nothing special there.
A City Street
>Look guard
You see nothing special about him.
The city guard is in perfect health.

My recommendation is to write the exit and mob descs and make sure the tildes are in place so that ORB can make the proper newlines.
