>get bottle bar

You tell the tall, muscular man, in southern-accented sirihish,
   "Ahm gunna slice open yer guts, y'dirty fecker!"

>break bottle

As you break the bottle - It shatters in your hand!

Grimacing, the short, skinny man winces in pain as the bottle breaks in his hand.

[path]

Yeah, you'll have that sometimes.

One quirk I've noticed:

key <item> <container> will work if the container is worn.
count <item> <container> will only work if the container is in your inventory.

So, while it's a bit of spam, you can just 'key arrow quiver' to see how many arrows you have left, rather than 'remove the quiver; count arrow quiver;wear quiver waist' or other various uses..

[musashi]

Yeah, since learning about the keyword command I have never used count for anything since.

[tortall]

Yeah, since learning about the keyword command I have never used count for anything since.

The problem with that is when you get stuff you want to count that numbers to more than 10.

When you have 172 meats.... Well, first, stop hunting. Second.... That's a shit ton of spam.

[musashi]

Yeah it's a ton of spam, but since it numbers them all quite nicely ... you just have to look at the very last line of text instead of reading it all.

Ever saw an incense burner, and some incense, but didn't know what to do with it?!

Drop the incense burner in the room!
Put the incense in the incense burner!
Close the incense burner!

Et voilà! Your room smells lovely.

Does that work for the braided grass incense thingies also?

[Cutthroat]

It should work for any incense object, but if something is described as incense and it doesn't burn in an incense burner, bug the item.

[Synthesis]

Ever been mystified and annoyed how the object list in your room gets flipped upside down by reboots?

Ever noticed how when you 'craft' something in your inventory, it heads to the top of the list?

Notice that you can craft with things in the room now?

BOOM YOU CAN REARRANGE THE ITEM LIST IN YOUR ROOM BY USING THE 'CRAFT' COMMAND ON THE INDIVIDUAL OBJECTS

A chest is here.
A footlocker is here.
A cabinet is here.

> craft cabinet

You don't think you could craft that into anything.

A cabinet is here.
A chest is here.
A footlocker is here.

Edited to add:  also, if you have 3 identical chests in the room and you want them all to be first on the list, type "craft chest 2.chest 3.chest" and they head to the top of the list.

It brings a tear to my eye to know that I can now be more pedantic than I already am.

help sit
Sit                                                               (General)

  This command will cause your character to sit down on the floor or
ground. The rest thus afforded you will be less than if you were resting or
sleeping, but much more than if standing.
  You can also "sit at <number>" to sit at a table in a tavern or inn (use
"look tables" to see the tables and their numbers), or "sit with <character
name>" if there is someone already seated at a table that you wish your
character to sit at.
  In addition, you can append an emote before or after the arguments, which
will be added to the message "<your character's sdesc> sits" which is
received by everyone in the same location. Note that this will _not_ change
your character's ldesc, but only the sitting message.  For more information
on emoting while sitting, see 'help command emotes'.

I didn't know that until today!!!

[musashi]

Well, since you're an older player and you didn't know it until today ... obviously it's IC sensative and shouldn't be talked about on the GDB!!!!!

I thought that's what arrange was for, but apparently not. It should be though. A newly arranged object ought to appear at the top of the object list in the room.

Arrange    (Equipment)
This command will cause your character to arrange the named item, changing the temporary long description for the object. The object must be in the room at the time. Please be realistic in what you can and can't alter about an object.

Syntax:
arrange <object> <ldesc>
arrange (preHow) <object> [postHow] <ldesc>
Examples:
> arrange sword buried halfway into the sand.
> arrange head Flies buzzing around it, ~ is stuck on a stake here.
> arrange sword (shoving the hilt) buried to the hilt in the sand.
> arrange head (tilting it) Hanging askew, ~ is stuck on a stake here.
Notes:
If you want the short description to appear anywhere in the long
description, or just want to get rid of the 'is here' that the default
automatically adds, put a '~' where you want the short description to go.
The (preHow) and [postHow] arguments can be placed arbitrarily in
the arguments. See 'help command emotes' for more information

key . <container>

Gives you the full list of everything. This may have been posted before but it's -just- that awesome.

[RogueGunslinger]

\n at the end of your prompt makes everything better. Been doing this for forever now.

[Rhyden]

I just did this and it really helps separate the spam. Thanks RGS.

[AmandaGreathouse]

I like to use a two line prompt.

[HP:%h/%H|STM:%v/%V|STN:%t/%T]\n[%A|%e|%O|%s|%w]\n\n

Makes it nice and neat.

[HP:96/99|STM:123/145|STN:84/99]
[unarmed|late afternoon|neutral|standing|walking]

And keeps it nicely spaced with the text scroll.

[HP:96/99|STM:123/145|STN:84/99]

If that's what you like.

exit

Tells you all the directions you can go, useful in sandstorms.

[Chettaman]

Heh heh...

You can see a thing!; sand swirls about you!
visible directions:
north - you shouldn't be able to see this!
east - that's right! Sand in your eyes!
south - I hope it burns! BURNS!

I always feel like a twink when I use weather <direction> to find out if there's a room there or not.

[jstorrie]

just use exits dude
