drop <item> down

[Yseulte]

How nice would it be if you had something like a bag or a body or whatever, and instead of having to go down into a hole or over a cliff, you could just drop it a certain way?

Overlooking A Ravine [EWD]
Massive, thick-rooted baobab trees grow here around a deep ravine. Beneath these towering trees, the ground is rough and closer to the edge is loose underfoot as if to threaten a slip far below. A sinuous trail winds its way through the trees to the east and west.

A Narrow Rooftop [NSD]
Thick, rough clay tiles lay in neat, overlapping rows down the high-sloping sides of this building's roof. Each one is different in color, ranging in warm tones such as red, brown, yellow, and orange. A very narrow walkway runs the length of the building from north to south before cutting off over the ledge to the alleyway three stories down.

A Clearing [NUD]
Endless flat land stretches out in all directions to the north, appearing barren and gouged with deep, dry cracks. Skeletons of scrub bushes lie scattered about, clinging to the high, sheer granite boulders that box in this small clearing. Small and oval in shape, a gaping black hole sits at the feet of a bulbous boulder.

I'd like this, if it's not already possible.

[Rhyden]

This will already work for items dropped in climb-check areas.

I like the idea, though, and think it should work for any room that has a down exit.

Similarly, I think you should be able to throw items in adjacent rooms, depending on their weight. Something simple like:

Code Select Expand

You hold a clay mug.
Throw mug north.
You chuck a mug northwards.

Currently you can't throw anything one room away unless it's a weapon and you're throwing it at someone.

I've wanted this for a long time.  Throwing lit torches into dark caves before rushing into them... yeah.

And tossing bodies down old wells...

This please.

[Ramblingman]

The problem is it only checks in CLIMB-check rooms.

I.e. rooms that have downs that can have you fall in the next room, that are actually safe.

This please.

[alicedavignon]

I was actually quite surprised to find out that this feature doesn't exist in a MUD as old as Arm.

[X-D]

You are not the only one.

But for me, the limitation of not being able to throw non-weapon items into other rooms drives me crazy on a daily basis. It restricts so much potential play...sigh.

[FantasyWriter]

Clan leaders getting drunk and throwing empty booze bottles about.

[deviant storm]

Oh, yes, please, on the drop things down/throw things in the next room command. I've wanted to do this a time or two.

Please, Morgenes? Other staffers?

[Thunkkin]

Also, consider how many lives would be saved by the ability to throw torches or glow crystals into scary, scary caves.

[valeria]

It also surprises me that this isn't a feature here.  Not just the inability to drop things down, but the apparently inability to throw things that aren't weapons from room to room at all.  I can't personally think of a reason why I'd use that with the character I have right now, but I could see a lot of utility toward having it available with other kinds of characters.

[hyzhenhok]

Even stranger, we are already able to do this with living characters that have been subdued. But not a corpse, torch, rock or turd.
