Hey ... since I don't want to get any "find out IC" panties in a bunch, could someone with a good grasp of the syntax involved in mount taming PM me so I can privately ask for some syntax related help? I RP'ed out learning how to go about it from another character in game, but we forgot to do the little: oh btw here's the commands to use ... portion at the end. Thanks.

First off, anything you shouldn't be finding out on the boards you shouldn't be finding out on the boards, PM or no.
Secondly, help ranger and help ride should solve your problems with a close reading.
*shrug* Fair enough ... in the RP it was mentioned to me about using a rope to help keep a critter in line once you were on them and had them all settled down, but is there a syntax for doing that? It isn't really covered in the ride or ranger help files at all, and a bit of searching for something like tame or tether didn't really help me out either.
There is not a syntax for that of which I am aware.
Also, check out the Question portion of the request tool (http://www.armageddon.org/request) for anything you feel might be too sensitive for the boards.
Thanks.

I think this needs reiteration.
You can use mount to attempt to tame an animal.
Thanks Yam, ya beat me to it.
Yams never sleep.
Yeah I don't know why anyone would have a problem with it. It's just a syntax issue. As Yam said, the command is "mount," same as it is for actually getting onto the animal's back if it's tame. If you succeed, the result is the same. If you fail, the result is something else.
And yet another mount question ... I know you should always have your mount hitched to you (whether you're riding them or not) because in the event of a crash ... that will save your mount from disappearing, but what if you have more than one at the moment?
Will hitching for example ... a sunback lizard to a kank, and a kank to you ... keep both mounts crash-safe? I know ideally you should just mount one and hitch the other, but what if for example, they were tired, and you were letting them both rest ... how can you best crash-proof your animals?
From how I understand (and past experience unless it's changed recently):
When you log out mounted on an animal, it will save the animal even if you aren't hitched to it.
When you log out hitched with an animal, it will save the animal even if you aren't mounted on it.
So...hitch one, mount the other. As long as you can check off either thing for each animal, you should be fine.
For logging out that's fine. I mean to say, in a case where I'm letting both animals rest up (hence I can't be mounted on either or they would stand), and the game crashes ... ... do I just have to pick which animal I like more and take the risk of losing the other one? Or is there something I can do to protect both?
You can't hitch one mount to another.
However.
Help Hitch
Hitch (Movement)
This command allows your character to lead a mount (or several mounts if you have enough familiarity with mounts) by their reins, as opposed to riding them. This will enable them to walk further, allow you to bring more supplies/goods on a journey, if desired.
Um ... you can sooo hitch mounts to one another. I did it ... but thanks for the tidbit on being able to hitch more than one to myself! That pretty much solves my concern :)

Really.... I need to play something that uses mounts then.
You used to be able to hitch mounts to all kinds of things, including wagons...But I thought that function was taken out a decade or more ago.
Now I have to check.
hitch inix
you now begin leading an inix
hitch undead kank
you now begin leading an undead kank
save (Saving name)
quit.......
connect to ginka.armageddon.org
enter zalanthas
Editted to add.. Apperantly rangers are the only ones who can double hitch.
look room
A demonic room
a inix is here
a undead kank is here fighting you
If I remember correctly, merchants can also double hitch.
From what I understood, it's still possible to hitch 'one' animal and mount another. So it's possible for anyone to have two mounts along, as long as you're riding one. Merchants and Rangers can have 'three'. That's ... well, pure chaos part is right.
