 It was originally used for Inaka's Erlang Dojo 2015, but it can hopefully be used by anyone :)
 
 ## Instructions

 To run the server just clone the repo and start the app in shell:

 Then let the players connect to it by giving them your node name and cookie (as a bonus you can give them a *clue* to get the cookie instead).
 
+### The Players
+For the players the story begins when they boot up an erlang node and connect to the server. At that time, they'll receive the first clue that will let them move along. Once they deciphered that clue they'll have to perform another action that will lead them to the next clue, and so on so far until they eventually find the treasure.
+The actual story depends on the server configuration. With [generic.config](config/generic.config) it's set up somewhere in the far west and a well known burglar has escaped with a treasure in his hands. It's the player's task to find him and retrieve the treasure to its rightful owner.

 ## Configuration
 The different game stages are configured by application environment. To help you with that a [sys.config.template](config/sys.config.template) is provided, along with the configuration we used at [inaka](config/inaka.config) and the [generic](config/generic.config) one that's used by default.
 If you want to start the server using your own config, just do:
