[Newbie help] interaction There are several different ways to communicate with others on Shattered Kingdoms, some verbal and others non-verbal. Verbal communication The verbal communication methods are used to speak with another character. Some are used when in the same room, but others can allow you to speak with someone else, no matter where in the realms they are at the time. Syntax: say-- talk to someone in the room sayto -- direct your say to someone tell -- speak mind-to-mind with someone reply -- reply to a tell yell -- lets everyone in your area know what you say gtell -- send a message to everyone in your group pray -- sends a message to listening immortals Nonverbal communication There are various nonverbal commands that are useful in player interaction. Greet allows you to formally introduce yourself to another player. In the future, anyone you have greeted will recognize you by name instead of seeing you as "an elf" or "a halfling". To automatically greet people back when they greet you, type auto greet. You can toggle this option back and forth, and the MUD will tell you which setting you have it on each time you toggle it. EMOTE is another method of nonverbal communication. This allows you to send an action to the room. For example: Devan types: > emote smiles and waves to Mayara. The room will see: Devan smiles and waves to Mayara. To use it, just type emote . Just be sure to put a verb after typing emote, or your emote may not make sense (i.e. emote three apples in his bag would display Devan three apples in his bag). There is also a posessive emote command called pemote. There is one other command which acts much like a pre-programmed emote, all of the socials. To perform one, simply type in the command (i.e. sneeze or smile). To see a list of all the socials on the MUD, type SOCIALS. See also: communication say emote pemote pray socials
