Um...so the 'help board' or 'help bulletin board' mentions something I find interesting, but which has little explanation...

So, anyone else figured out what 'listen board' or 'listen board (message number)' are supposed to do...and have you been able to do it?

listen board
The bulettin board whispers to you: "You are doomed!"

Wow...so noone knows how to listen to a board or what the purpose is, including staff?

Perhaps a better staff answer could be gained by posting in Ask the Staff?

I wanted to avoid restricting player response if players knew what was up with this.

We're as perplexed as you all. Xygax took it out for now. If "listen board" is supposed to be valid, I'm sure Morgenes will put it back in and explain what it's all about.

Some boards are set with the trigger 'listen rumors' instead of 'look board'.  You can also do 'listen rumors 1', just like you can 'read board 1'.  It varies from board to board if the syntax is actually supported, but since the code it there, I documented it.
