The <key .> discussion has ran on long enough, please take it to another thread and move this one back on topic before it gets locked and we loose a very valuable tool for noobs and veterans alike.

Edit: My neat little thing that is way too under used.

Sniff                                                             (General)

   Sniffing is the act of inhaling something, for the purpose of either
smelling, or gaining the pleasurable effects of the inhalant. On Zalanthas,
there are many things one can sniff, the most prevalent being the addictive
spices (of which House Kurac is the foremost dealer in the Known World).
You can sniff people in order to see what they smell like, as well. Some
rooms have scent descriptions "sniff room" will present these to you.

Syntax:
   sniff <object>
   sniff <person>
   sniff room

Example:
   > sniff zharal

   > sniff templar

Oh good, I am not the only person who is a habitual sniffer.

All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

i sniffed a weird smell off of someone one time, for seemingly no reason other than (ic-sensitive), when i was indirectly taught about the sniff command, a RL month ago. until then i thought they were joking or that that group of people in that place were all RPing it and i just didn't know (ic-sensitive).

Everyone else smells like dust and sweat. I would like to ask wtf they smelled like (ic-sensitive) but i'm gonna have to wait eleven months.

There are multiple means to change your odor in this game.  Find them in game.  :)

Non-IC-sensative (read:common sense) ways to change your smell: purfume, spice, being piss drunk, handling poo.

Beep    (General)
You are able to cause another player's terminal to audibly beep (if their terminal has such capability). This can be used to check that another player has not gone link-dead, as may be the case if they have not indicated (via the ooc or gone commands) that they are occupied in real life, but also have not performed any visible actions with their characters for some time. Use this command very sparingly, if at all.

Syntax:
beep <character name>
Example:
beep savak

gone, ooc

As I recall, this beep sounds much like the 'BEEP!' - Mantishead death combo, so if your friend is just tabbed out quick browsing something and you beep them it might lead to rapid heart palpitations as they frantically switch back to their mud client to see who died. :)

Good!  Means they'll get back to the mud window that much faster!  :D

Heh, my system alert sound is a scream followed by the "zombie getting gibbed" sound from Quake, so that's what I hear every time I kill something.

Quote from: VanthSynthesis, you scare me a little bit.

I once beeped someone while hidden with a raider to make sure I wasn't doing anything to a linkdead pc.

the player did a 'flee self'. Apparently in a panic, which is funny because if he beeped that would have meant his pc was already dead.

Still smile thinking about that one.
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:

They fled because of a beep? Seems a little... against the rules no?

IC reaction without IC cause.  I'd say that's pushing the limits at the least.  I would trust the player of that character less in the future.

Just to play devil's advocate, if a player only understands the beep as something very IC (i.e. - the grim face of death), then I think tucking tail and running with nary a look back is a reasonable response when you hear a beep and can't even tell where it is coming from. For all they know, it could be an unfamiliar aspect of magik. One could equate it with 'Someone rustles in the bushes nearby' but even more sinister.

Moreover, if they literally typed "flee self," they were probably being funny/roleplayish.  "ru;n;e;n;e" is far more efficient amirite.

No, you're not right.  Whoever did that knew exactly what they were doing.
