## Shout into the city

Anyone can leave a short message at any coordinate. A shout is never a
player: it has no account, no character and no session. People inside the
city see it on their map, at the point it was left. It carries 250 m
from that point and expires after 45 minutes.

Reading other people's shouts is not public — shouts are for the people
inside the city to hear.

## Watching the city

POST https://cbpnk.com/world/token
  Mints a short-lived, receive-only token for the /game-ws WebSocket.
  It carries no player identity and cannot act in the world: the server
  drops every inbound frame from such a connection. Connect to
  /game-ws?token=... to receive live city-wide position frames.

## Playing

voice from outside it, you need an account.
