New command 'watch' with a like-named help file that explains what it is
and how it works. This is a first pass so in the future it is likely to
change slightly. Mail Nessalin with bugs.
I love you.
And you.
And you.
*dance*
I especially love the fact that you can keep watching ahead while moving.
... How do I stop watching?
'watch none'

Wooo new commands! Though, is there any particular reason you cant watch while sitting?

It said in the far distance, and logically it makes sense.
Well, it'd also make sense that I could sit in a bar and just watch people walking around outside. I'd think that anything you can see with look <direction> would work while watching.
Anyway, this may not be intentional, but you can watch and THEN sit and it still works.

You can see through the crowd in the tavern to watch the crowd outside without having to stand and peer over people's heads?

Sounds like a bug to me.

Depending how close you are to the exit, and how busy the bar is, it makes sense (to me) that you can only watch while standing.

That sounds like a bug to me and something I wouldn't use ;)
Quote from: "Help File"Your character must be standing in order to watch things in the distance.
I wonder if that includes riding. Because for most people, riding would add height, not subtract height ;)

Twink Twink! I mean..umm..*shrug* whatever works though, like said if you say youre sitting near an exit Id justify it.
Does it give a room echo?

I don't see how thats much different from 'look n' and so on. But no matter, if they're fixing it right now, so be it.

I don't believe it does.
Maybe someone else noticed, and obviously the ones responsble have. ;p
But I think I noticed this, as stated someone said you could watch n, and then sit.
It seems the 'crash' may not have been a crash. When it rebooted up I started watching a direction, and then sat.
You have stopped watching n.
etc.
So lah.
Another shameless plug. This command does seem damn cool, and it was awesome how you imms had it just pop up with a help file and everything. Lets see, the word Im looking for is impressive.
It does not seem like you can watch "out" as a direction. I also tried "leave". Any plans to implement this?

Yes... Fixed for sure... And yes! Please! I want "watch out", too...
I just wanted to say the watch command is very cool, and actually saved my life :)
