Communication

Emote It is possible to reference visible characters by preceding their keyword with ~ (tilde) and objects with *.

You may also use **@** to insert your character's name naturally into the emote without manually typing it.

Examples:

  > emote smiles, winking in your direction.

  > A lithe, dark-haired man smiles, winking in your direction.

  > emote puffs on *pipe.

  > A lithe, dark-haired man puffs on a long cedar pipe.

  > emote nods to ~man.

  > A lithe, dark-haired man nods to a stocky man.  >

emote nodding, @ steps toward the door.

  > Nodding, A lithe, dark-haired man steps toward the door.

Say / tell > say (lifting *tankard, nodding to [tilde]kieran) Thanks!

> tell kieran (raising a brow) You want -how- much?

> sing (drunkenly, sloshing *tank) Ninety-nine tankards...

whisper Usage: whisper <person> <message>

This command is used to attempt to communicate quietly with

someone who is in the same room. Note that it is always

possible that you will be overheard by someone else.

talk The one difference between them being that if you are

seated at a table, and wish to lower your voice so that

only others at your table will likely be able to hear,

you should use this command as opposed to SAY.


TALK will accomplish the same thing when used in

groups as well, even if you aren't at a table.

travel Usage: travel <string>

> travel

Your current travel string: (limping heavily)

> north

You begin walking northward, limping heavily.

voice Usage: voice <string>

Rather like a "vmote", or "voice emote", the voice command

allows you to specify a string that will be appended to your

character's speech. Simply entering "voice" will display

your current voice string, if any, and entering "voice normal"

will clear any voice string you have set.

dmote Usage: dmote <description addition>

Dmote allows you to add a temporary addition to your character's main or full description, adjusting how they are perceived in the game environment. This command is ideal for expressing temporary states, such as injuries, dirt, or other visible changes, without permanently altering the character's description.

Example:

He seems to be covered in dust. A large chunk of his hair is missing.

pmote Pmote is a variant of the emote command that allows a

player to temporarily alter his or her character's long

description, thus changing the way they are seen in

the game environment.

Example:

  > pmote leans quietly against the wall.

  > A lithe, dark-haired man leans quietly against the wall.

  > pmote is holding *tank and staring at ~horse

  > A lithe, dark-haired man is holding a wooden tankard

     and staring at a three-legged horse.

omote Usage: omote <object> <message>

  > omote dagger is stuck in the wall here.

  > A sharp dagger is stuck in the wall here.

 

  > omote ore is under the foot of ~red.

  > A chunk of iron ore  under the foot of a tall,

     red-haired man.

notify Use this command to let another player-character you are

familiar with, or other clan members, know that you are

online and looking for roleplay.

sing Usage: sing <message>

Sings a message out loud, audible to all those in the room.

yell Usage: shout <message>

This command is used to make yourself heard in nearby rooms

and areas. Players in other rooms will not necessarily know

who it is that shouted, but they will know whether the voice

was a male voice or a female one.

greet Use to initiate conversation with a NPC if possible

Usage: Greet haggard
