- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Short description of Byteland: what buildings, rooms and lights stand for, units, privacy rules and supported languages. A good first call.
```

### `live`

Voice rooms with people in them right now and the rooms with messages in the last 48 hours. Voice presence comes from the running site (BYTELAND_URL, default http://127.0.0.1:8787); without it only the recent rooms are known.
```
