Brief Combat

It removes all the "swing and a miss" combat spam.  It's perfect for large RPTs that involve combat.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Can skin a corpse without the skill.

I've read on the GDB of some other players doing this: I have an alias called 'l all' which is short for 'look all'.

My set of directional lookups is aliased to 'ql' as in 'quick look'.

pour <container 1> <container 2>

or

pour <container 1> room

And poisoning yourself, don't forget that joy.

And for getting the poison off a weapon too!

Newly available evidence suggests that many players do not realize there is an "assist" command to use for combat.

I'm gonna go all Gimfalisette on you guys and lay down some numbers.

I don't use assist.  Only rescue.   8)

Aww, is it time for "when Gimf was a little Armer," stories?

Since we're picking on the Bynners combat characters, this is extraordinarily helpful in your prompt:
     %s    your current position

When you're in combat, it translates into:
     fighting: a war beetle >

(Yeah, that's probably shown up in this thread already.)
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.

..... Once you poison a weapon, you can unpoison it?
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.

'stop' command:

If you have queued up several commands, typing 'stop' will clear them out.

Example: you just entered in the commands e,e,e,e,e,e,e,n,n,s,s,s,e,e,e,e,n,n,n,n in order to speedwalk back to your guild's estate, but you just noticed something interesting in the last room.  Enter the command 'stop' and you will do just that, stop.  All the rest of your commands will be purged.

The secret to great RP is having the balls to be weird and the brains to make it eloquent.

Okay, I wish I knew that a LONG time ago.  *goes to clear out the huge amount of junk weapons that currently have taints on them*

On the code side of things, this thread really illustrates why Arm rules. It's been around over 10 years, and all these little goodies are the result.

Good, now it will make it easier to explore the desert for obsidian deposits. Before I used to just do it in short bursts of e,e,e then s,s,e then etc. And I must say, many of these things are helpful little tidbits. I'll have to actually try some of them out myself now. Especially the ones where they didn't say what it did...
