Bad Aliases

[Tamarin]

I discovered that I can lock myself into 'gone mode' by aliasing 'gone' to a command such as 'gone afk'.  Typing 'gone' now sends 'gone afk', which isn't recognized by 'gone mode'.  All I get in response to anything I type of course is "You are gone, remember?"  Perhaps certain commands should not be aliasable...or perhaps gone mode shouldn't prevent you from sending commands.  It only changes your ldesc.

Thoughts?

Bug this in game please.

I can't!  I'm stuck in gone mode and can't do anything.

[Krath]

Why did you Alias Gone anyway?

[Lazloth]

Why don't you try "gon" or "Gone" or "gOne" ..?  You should be able to get out of it.

[Gorobei]

To delete the alias, type "alias gone" with no further argument.

I think his problem is that typing that will tell him:

You are gone, remember?

Here's hoping it works though.

[Lazloth]

Three step procedure.  The case sensitivity was tested and found lacking.

#1.) Drop the -e.  Type [g] then [o] then [n].  
#2.) Hit [RETURN].  
#3.) Reply "Thank you, Laz."

I've had the same problem using the game defined aliases.
alias 1 draw dagger
alias 2 draw steel  

type
draw dagger
What?

draw steel
What?

draw sword
What?

think Shit! Someone stole my steel sword!

eq
worn on belt    an uber strong steel sword
worn on belt    an envy causing, assassination quickening steel dagger

OOCthink Huh? ... ... ...  Aliases!

1
You draw an uber strong steel sword


I never thought about bugging it in game.  If it's a game alias, just unalias gone, that should solve it.

The guy is stuck in gone mode because he aliased gone to parse gone afk.  Your advice is akin to telling the teenager, whose car is broken down and is looking for a AAA phone number, not to put leaded gasoline into his fuel tank.

Fucking classic.

[Sephiroto]

That reminds me of the guy who subdued himself.

Touche. :oops:

Obviously I didn't think it through so maybe the Imms can take it as an idea.
The ability to still define aliases and make wishes while in gone more.

-who thinks Lazloth achieved cute when he mocked my little after statements.   :wink:

Subdued himself? Please, please elaborate...
