Neat little things

"flip" is a command useful for certain things as well. Not a lot though that I've noticed, but your mileage may vary.

Fixed.

"Use," can be quite fun when such things are held in your hand.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

Waving a hammer, the irate, seething crafter says, in rage-accented sirihish :
"Be impressed.  Now!"

Does ARM have something akin to SOI's dmote, now? I've noticed a lot of temporary strings attached to descriptions, and I'm not sure if this is a recent change, or what. (And if ARM does have it, it'd be totally relevant to this thread because it'd be both neat and little.)
A dark-shelled scrab pinches at you, but you dodge out of the way.
A dark-shelled scrab brandishes its bone-handled, obsidian scimitar.
A dark-shelled scrab holds its bloodied wicked-edged, bone scimitar.

tdesc is what you're referring to.

Anybody remember the command to decapitate?

"behead <unlucky>"

Must be dead first, though.

Thanks. I do hate that condition.

I love this command, too.  I use it all the time.

> look dude's cloak

Being able to look at the mdesc of other peoples equipment is very entertaining. In downtimes I found myself just reading what every little eq looks like on the people I'm around, it's a great time filler during idle moments!
A staff member sends you:
"Normally we don't see a <redacted> walk into a room full of <redacted> and start indiscriminately killing."

You send to staff:
"Welcome to Armageddon."

When I discovered the above I gleefully read over the mdescs of every piece of equipment that everyone owned.

Perhaps more importantly, it doesn't echo. If you're in a bar with a bunch of people and you want to know who's obviously clanned, but you don't want to spam everyone with you looking at each and every person, you can just look at everyone's cloaks, rings and tabards.

And who's a gemmer...
"I have seen him show most of the attributes one expects of a noble: courtesy, kindness, and honor.  I would also say he is one of the most bloodthirsty bastards I have ever met."

Hey. That's a good idea.
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Oh, I was lookin' for this thread.

RogueGunslinger, heed my words!  A trick I use to avoid buying the wrong thing: always use "offer," even if you lack the haggle skill, for a price slightly less than the list price.  I believe you get a message like this:
  The tall, muscular salesman insists on keeping the price the same for a pair of silt-horror swim goggles.

Then use "barter" to complete the transaction.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;
The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.


look (item) (object item is on/in)

To get the mdesc of said item without having to pick it up.
The man asks you:
     "'Bout damn time, lol.  She didn't bang you up too bad, did she?"
The man says, ooc:
     "OG did i jsut do that?"

I love the players of this game.
That's not a random thought either.

help locdescs

For the longest time I was waiting to get scars.  I was thinking, -boy- my character must have thick skin.  :(

Certain bars that load with a mix of barstools and places to stand might have invisible barstools you can 'put barstool bar' to sit down instead of stand.

Try 'key barstool' in your seatless bar, today.

You're a servant? You placed all the stuff into that tray? 'Etwo' it. First of all it's realistic; people see you holding a tray in both hands. Second, people now may 'look servant's tray'..

Damn.. It took me long time to think about 'etwo'ing trays which are too heavy to be held.
