Abduct
Syntax: Abduct (target)
Syntax: Tuckin (target)
Syntax: lookfor (target)
This command can be used in a room where a player has logged off and, if
successful, will bring the unconscious body back into the game where it
can be interacted with. No one will be able to wake the character until the
player logs back on. Abduct can only be used within a few hours of the
target logging off.
To determine whether or not the attempt is successful, a number of factors
are taken into consideration based on the abductor’s stats, the abductee’s
stats, and the location the abduction is taking place in. Some degree of
luck is accounted for as well.
The abductor will get bonuses based on his stealth skill and whether or not
he has legitimate access to the property.
The abductee will get bonuses based on his acute senses, fast reflexes,
perception, and, should he be abducted from a house, the household security
and household guards of that location. If a warding ritual is in place, the
abductee will also be significantly harder to abduct. An abduction will
always succeed if the abductee is tied up. Abductions cost money and require
cash on hand to cover the costs of the drugs used. The cost will vary depending
on how difficult the person is to abduct, with higher tiers costing more.
Unsuccessful attempts may result in the victim fleeing to another property or
the forest.
The tuckin command can be used to place the character back into a regular
logged off state.
The lookfor command can be used to see if a logged off person is currently in the room
with you.

adesc
Descriptions added by others
An adesc is a piece of description that someone else writes onto your character: a mark they left, a smear of paint, a message scrawled on your arm. It works like a ddesc (see help ddesc), uses the same locations, and shows in the same places. Each character can carry up to 100 adescs.
Writing one on someone
adesc create (person) (keyword) (location) (hours)
–Open the editor and write a description onto another player character in the room with you. They are told that you are adding a description to them, and so is everyone else in the room. The keyword is the name they will use for it.
–If they are helpless, it is active straight away. You can also give a number of hours, at most two, during which they cannot deactivate or delete it.
–If they are not helpless, it arrives switched off and the hours are ignored. Whether it ever shows is up to them.
Descriptions others wrote on you
adesc list
–List the adescs on you, with where each one goes and whether it is active.
adesc search (word)
–Show the full text of every adesc on you that contains that word.
adesc activate (keyword)
–Switch one on.
adesc deactivate (keyword)
–Switch one off. While it is locked, you are told how many hours are left instead.
adesc delete (keyword)
–Remove one for good. You cannot delete one that is still locked.
When an adesc is switched on or off, you see your appearance change, and so does everyone in the room who could see it. It follows the same rules as a ddesc: clothing hides one on a covered part of your body, and a smell one is only noticed by a keen nose (see help ddesc). Being desclocked does not stop adescs, which have their own lock.

For example: afk 6
PCName goes AFK. (They expect to return in 6 minutes.)
For example: afk 4 8
PCName goes AFK. (They expect to return between 4 and 8 minutes from now)
Typing AFK puts your character in a tell-saving mode as follows: any tell to
you is stored in a special buffer, and can be seen later by typing replay.
This is useful when you need to leave the mud for 5 or 10 minutes, but don’t
want to miss tells. AFK shows up in your prompt until it is turned off.
Tells to link-dead players are stored in a similar fashion, and can also be
seen by typing replay. (unless of course the player logs off before
reading them).

Assist
Assist
assist (person) (how you help)
–Help someone in the room with a roll they are making. Describe how you are helping, in up to 120 characters. You are shown your assistance, and the storyrunner in the room is told about it. When they roll, the room sees how each assistant helped.
Each person assisting adds a die to the roll, and the best die counts. The storyrunner’s challenge sets how many assistants may add a die, and the person rolling may have limited it further when they used try. Remember that a 1 on any die is a critical failure, so every extra die adds risk as well as help.
Only assistants still in the room when the roll is made count. Your assistance lasts until the person you are helping rolls, then it is cleared. You can only assist one person at a time: assisting someone else replaces it. You cannot assist yourself, and you cannot assist an NPC.
If the person is butchering a corpse, assist (person) (anything) helps them with the butchering instead.

Car
Cars and motorcycles help you get around Haven. To obtain a car you need
to use the garage command, see help garage for more information.
Vehicles may be of one or two types, and of five different quality levels.
Vehicles of two types cost twice as much to obtain the same level of
quality. Each type conveys different bonuses. These quality levels are
seen as junker, economy, standard, high and excellent quality.
Vehicles are paid for every week, the default value is 0.5% of the
vehicle’s value, but those with multiple vehicles garaged may pay less for
their extra ones if they aren’t being loaned out, with the discount
increasing based on the owner’s wealth stat.
Once you have a vehicle you can use it with the drive or ride commands, and
can use park to stop your vehicle prematurely, drive slow to slow down, or
stall to pause in your travel where you currently are.
Vehicles have to be driven from the point they were last driven to, if the
vehicle is new or their location is invalid for some reason they can be
driven from any intersection.
Vehicles have stashes inside them accessible from their last driven to
location.
Damaged vehicles repair automatically, but are unavailable until they are
repaired fully.
Characters who hide in the same room as their vehicle will gain a stealth
bonus to represent their stake out.
Types
Safe: Less likely to have an accident when driving in the mist, less
likely to be injured when attacked or in an accident.
Excellent Bonus: Impossible to have an accident when driving slow in the mist.
Sport: Does more damage when running into pedestrians and other vehicles.

Climb
Climbing
You climb in the direction you are facing, which is the direction you last moved in.
climb
–Climb the outside wall of a building. You must be outdoors, with open air above you, and facing a wall. The game looks up that wall, as far as ten floors, for the first place at that height you could get into from outside: an open window, a balcony, a gap in the wall, a roof. If there is one, you climb up to it. If there is nothing to climb up to, you climb down instead if you can.
climb down
–Face an open edge with a drop beyond it, such as the edge of a roof, and you climb out over the edge and down to the first solid ground below. A floor or roof in the way stops you.
Climbing takes about seven seconds a floor going up and five going down. People in the rooms you pass through see you climb by, and the room you start from sees you begin.
What climbing ends
Starting a climb brings you out of hiding, and ends shadowing and any hostile or nightmare hostile stance you hold.
When you cannot climb
–While fighting, in a fist fight, pinned or helpless.
–Unless you are standing.
–As a prisoner, or while something is stopping you from moving.
–While you are already travelling, climbing or jumping.
–As a ghost.
–While a patrol encounter has not yet let you go.
Falling
Every floor you climb up past, there is a chance you lose your grip. It is 10% for each floor you are above where you started, less a bonus from your Strength, Dexterity, Stamina and Acrobatics, and never below 5%. The bonus is the total of those four stats times four, or that total squared, whichever is larger: a total of 3 takes off 12 points, a total of 5 takes off 25, and a total of 10 takes off 100. Climbing down is far safer: you only rarely slip at all.
If you slip, you fall straight down. Landing in deep water does you no harm; shallow water does not help. Anywhere else, a fall after climbing four or more floors leaves you mildly injured, and eight or more leaves you severely injured. The undead and the angelborn are only ever mildly injured by such a fall.
Inside a property under siege, climbing works differently: see help noctilith sieges.

compete
Syntax: compete against (person) with (stat) and (stat) and (stat)
This command allows you to test your stats against someone else?s, up to
three at a time.
For instance if you wished to arm wrestle with someone, compete against (person)
with strength
Would test your strength against theirs, or for a game of darts you might
enter compete against (person) with games and dexterity
On completion of the command it will send an echo to the room of who won.
Normally the winner will always be the person with the highest stat total,
if the stat totals are equal it will be a fifty/fifty chance. However
this may change based on the inclusion of certain stats.
Currently games is the only stat which deviates from this, when adding
games as one of the stats tested it will always introduce an element of
randomness to the calculation while still significantly favoring the
person with higher stats.
For each 1 point below the other person you are in a game calculation, your
chance of winning will lower by a multiplicative 20%. So if stat levels
are the same you’ll have 50% chance, if you’re one lower 40%, if 2 lower
32% etc.
As optional syntax you can also drop the ‘against’ and simply type compete
(person) with (stats)
This command allows you to test your stats against someone else?s, up to
three at a time.
For instance if you wished to arm wrestle with someone, compete against (person)
with strength
Would test your strength against theirs, or for a game of darts you might
enter compete against (person) with games and dexterity
On completion of the command it will send an echo to the room of who won.
Normally the winner will always be the person with the highest stat total,
if the stat totals are equal it will be a fifty/fifty chance. However
this may change based on the inclusion of certain stats.
Currently games is the only stat which deviates from this, when adding
games as one of the stats tested it will always introduce an element of
randomness to the calculation while still significantly favoring the
person with higher stats.
For each 1 point below the other person you are in a game calculation, your
chance of winning will lower by a multiplicative 20%. So if stat levels
are the same you’ll have 50% chance, if you’re one lower 40%, if 2 lower
32% etc.
As optional syntax you can also drop the ‘against’ and simply type compete
(person) with (stats)

Crisis
Crises are coded events that Story Runners can use to affect the entire

-This starts an invasion, up to three invasions can be run at once, pick the
number by 1-3, the (number) is the monster number you want to use for the
invasion, see help monsters for information on setting those up. If you’re
on the grid when you use this command, the monsters will spawn from where
you’re standing, if not they’ll spawn from the edges of town. Invasion mobs

So for example if you wanted to do RP based around a catastrophic bridge
being opened between our world and the elemental plane of fire, you could
start off with a broadcast about flames and smoke, then set the atmosphere
to be heavy with smoke and flicking flames. Perhaps you could then make
smaller fire elementals start to invade the town from within the nightmare,
then set the town to darkness as the smoke obscures the sun. As the bridge
grows stronger and more severe you could add a constantdamage with a message
like “You are burnt by burning ash”, and raise the town’s temperature. Then
some of the elementals might start coming out of the nightmare and into the
town proper, and you could add an erratic damage with a message like. “A
giant fireball crashes into the ground beside you, sending you flying.”
This is obviously a severe example, but should give an idea of the sorts of
things you can do with the code.

customize
The customize command allows players to alter the properties of an object so
that they can better represent props in their stories. The command can be used
in any store that sells the type of object being customized.
Syntax: customize (object)
Enters the object editor.
Syntax: customize (object) (field) (value)
Possible fields are: cover, zips, shortstring, longstring, names, wear,
description, extra, layer, symbol, cost, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar,
relic, playlist. Symbol, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar, relic, and
playlist take no values.
An explaination of fields follows:
Cover: Toggles cover location. A cover location is any area which the object
should normally cover when worn.
Zips: Toggles zipes location. A zips location is any area which is revealed
when the zip command is used.
Shortstring: Sets the phrase used to describe an object is manipulated such as
with the wear, remove, drop, or get commands. This is also the string used
for the stash command as well.
Longstring: Sets the phrase used to describe an object when it is seen on a
character, in a room, or in an inventory.
Names: Sets the keywords used to interact with the object. Each space in a
names value will indicate the start of a new keyword.
Wear: Sets the phrase used for the location within <> when a character’s outfit
is displayed.
Description: Opens the editor for an object’s description. This blurb will be
displayed when an object is looked at directly.
Extra: Opens the editor for an object’s extra. This creates an extra with the
name specified as a value. Whenever this keyword is looked at, the blurb will
be displayed.
Layer: Sets the layer an object occupies. Objects with higher layer values are
always worn over top of objects with lower values. This may cause objects to
obscure others beneath them depending on the cover locations of each. A zero
value will make the item wearable in any layer depending on the order in which
it is worn.
Symbol: Attaches the symbol of the character’s society to the object. Wearing
an object with a symbol allows a character to earn respect while he is role
playing. This also allows the sheriff’s department to create items with their
symbol on it. All symbols can be used to access the goblin market. A type of
symbol that identifies an item as a goblin key can be created by characters
without a society and with occult knowledge 1 or greater. These keys allow
access to the goblin market, but confer no additional symbol benefits.
Cost: Sets the objects cost. An objects cost can only increase from what it is
currently set to.
Large: Makes the object a large object. Large objects require the lift command
to move.
Focus: Designates the object as a magical focus.
Angeliccollar: Designates the object as an angelic collar.
Relic: Designates the object as a relic.
Playlist: Sets up the playlist for a game or playback item.
Warmth/Breathable: Adding the following keywords to a clothing’s short

ddesc
Dynamic descriptions
A dynamic description, or ddesc, is an extra piece of description that you write yourself and switch on and off as your look changes: a fresh bruise, a new tattoo, a hairstyle, a scent you are trying out. You can keep up to 100 of them. While one is active, it shows when people look at you, straight after your normal description for that part of your body. Parts of your body appear in the order you set with describe order.
Commands
ddesc create (keyword) (location)
–Make a new ddesc and open the editor to write it (see help editing). The keyword is the one word you use for it in the other commands. A new ddesc starts active. Give each one its own keyword, because the other commands act on the first ddesc they find with that keyword.
ddesc edit (keyword)
–Open the editor to rewrite a ddesc.
ddesc activate (keyword) or ddesc a (keyword)
–Switch a ddesc on.
ddesc deactivate (keyword) or ddesc d (keyword)
–Switch a ddesc off. You keep it, ready to use again later.
ddesc delete (keyword)
–Delete a ddesc for good.
ddesc list
–List your ddescs, with where each one goes and whether it is active.
ddesc search (word)
–Show the full text of every ddesc that contains that word.
When you switch a ddesc on or off, you see your appearance change, and so does everyone in the room who could see that ddesc (see below). The message quotes its text.
While you are desclocked, you can list and search your ddescs but not create, edit, delete, activate or deactivate them.
Locations
–Body: hands, lowerarms, upperarms, feet, lowerlegs (or calves), forehead, thighs, groin, buttocks (or arse, ass, rear), lowerback, upperback, lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck, lowerface, hair, eyes.
–self (or everywhere): about you as a whole. It shows next to your general description.
–smell: how you smell to a keen nose.
–lightmakeup (or makeup), mediummakeup, heavymakeup: shown at the end of your description, but only while you are wearing that level of makeup. You can leave them active and they appear when you put that makeup on.
–scent: a perfume or scent you are wearing, shown at the end of your description.
–hairstyle: a short phrase such as “long silver braids”. It is not added to your description: it replaces your hair colour wherever your hair is described.
What people see
–A ddesc on a part of your body is hidden while clothing covers that part, just like your normal description for it. A bath or deep water hides everything from the chest down.
–A self ddesc always shows.
–A smell ddesc is only noticed by people in the room with you who have a keen nose, the same as your describe smell text.
–A scent ddesc is noticed by people in the room with a keen nose, or standing right beside you.
–A hairstyle is hidden while your hair is covered.
–You always see your own.

Decorate
The decorate command can be used to customize a house or shop property that you own. It is extremely versatile and has many options, but at a bare minimum rooms should feature a name and description.
Syntax: decorate (argument) [additional modifier]
The arguments for decorate are as follows:
[Description Commands]:
Decorate name (string)
Changes the name of the room you’re in. All rooms begin with ‘In’ if inside, or ‘At’ if outside.
Example: “decorate name a carpeted hallway“ will yield, “In a carpeted hallway”.
Decorate description
Enters an editor to write the description of the room you’re currently in.
Decorate nightmaredescription
Enters an editor to write the description of the room you’re in when viewed in the nightmare.
Decorate extra (string)
Enters an editor to write the description of an extra detail people in the room can view when looking at any word in its name. Can be used again to edit an existing extra’s description, if keywords match. See ‘help extra keywords’ for special keywords seen by people with appropriate powers.
Example: “decorate extra an ornate oil painting on the western wall“
Decorate extradelete (keyword)
Deletes an extra description. Be careful using a keyword that is in use by multiple extras, if more than one is present.
Decorate place (string)
Creates a new place in the room people can join, and enters an editor to write its description. Can be used again to edit an existing place’s description, if keywords match.
Decorate placedelete (keyword)
Deletes a place. Be careful using a keyword that is in use by multiple extras, if more than one is present.
Decorate doorname (exit) (string)
Replaces the default name of ‘door’ with a string of your choice. Affects both sides of the door. The first word should always be a noun.
Example: “decorate doorname west gate of wrought iron“ will yield, “The gate is closed” and “You open the western gate of wrought iron”.
Decorate atmosphere
Enters an editor to write a list of one-line atmosphere messages, which will periodically echo to the room. Each new line is a new message. They are selected randomly.
[Room Modifying Commands]:
Decorate decor (0–3)
Variable low cost. Sets the decor of the room you’re in: cheap, average, expensive, or extravagant. No cost to downgrade.
Decorate type (shop/house/anonymous)
Variable cost. For $300, ‘shop’ will toggle the property to being a shop, and ‘house’ will toggle the property to being a house. For $200, makes a house an anonymous house, which can only have cheap decor and cannot have utilities, but will also not show up on investigations.
Decorate indoors
Sets the room to be inside.
Decorate outdoors
Sets the room to be outside.
Decorate hotspot
Makes the room a hotspot, which will show the number of players within it on where.
Decorate sparring
Costs $500. Makes a room into a sparring room; see ‘help spar’.
Decorate public
Shop only. Sets the room to be public, in a sense of law enforcement having a swiftly-responding presence there. Affects nudity, displays of the supernatural, carrying weapons, etc.
Decorate private
Shop only. Sets the room to be private, in a sense of it existing outside the plausible immediate enforcement of the law. Suitable for offices, back rooms, bathrooms, etc.
Decorate marketdoor (direction)
Shop only. Flags a wall as being eligible for a goblin market access point when the access points are re-randomized, but does not guarantee one.
Decorate bathroom
Costs $80. House only. A bathroom allows you to create a shower or bath place within, and automatically and always includes a mirror for exiting the nightmare. To add a shower or tub, use “decorate place” with one of those words as a keyword somewhere in the string.
Example: “decorate place a glass-walled shower enclosure“
Decorate bedroom
Costs $80. House only. A bedroom allows you to stash items within, set up a magic wardrobe (see below), and gives you an area to log out.
Decorate kitchen
Costs $80. House only. A kitchen allows you to customize food and drink items, and use make food and make drink to create new ones on the fly.
Note that a single room in a house may have multiple types, as may be the case for a studio apartment or small cabin. Using the command again will remove the specified room type at no cost.
[Room Building Commands]:
Decorate door (direction)

Decorate destroywardrobe
Destroys any magic wardrobes built inside the current bedroom. Ideally, must be used in both rooms to avoid strangeness.
Decorate build (up/down)
Expand your property up or down from where you are. Be advised that subterranean rooms may flood, lack reception below the first subterranean level, and must always be attached to another room to avoid being immediately reclaimed by the game. Not all properties in town may be expanded in this way.
[Room Security Commands]:
Decorate lock (direction)
Locks a door from the side you are currently on. Must be used on both sides if you want the door locked on both sides.
Example: “decorate lock west“ will make the door locked for anyone in your current room heading west.
Decorate access
Enters an editor where you may write the names of characters, separated by a space. Each of these people will have access to this room regardless of its locked/unlocked status. The names must be accurate; no nicknames or aliases.
Example list: Aleister Genesis Samael Dolores Eugen
Decorate noaccess
Enters an editor where you may write the names of characters, separated by a space. Each of these people will be barred from entry to this room regardless of its locked/unlocked status.
Decorate signalproof
Costs $500. Makes a room immune to signals; when in such a room, all comms, radios, phones, telepathy, and electropathy cannot reach in or out. Also prevents view of roleplay by SRs. No cost to remove.
Decorate toughness (0–4)
Variable low cost. Sets the toughness of the room you’re in. Toughness is the defense against the breakin command, and competes against demolitions. No cost to downgrade.
Decorate security (0–4)
Variable low cost. Sets the security of the room you’re in. Security is the defense against the picklock command, and competes against larceny. No cost to downgrade.
Be advised that many of these settings may come with an additional cost on your monthly bill for the property; it is suggested you review ‘help property costs‘ for an understanding of these factors.

Desire
This command allows a player to project his or her character’s desires. If the target is one that’s sensitive to desires, such as angelborn characters, he or she will feel an urge to fulfill that desire. However, this wish to fulfill the desire is usually less strong than the originator’s desire to have it fulfilled. Characters other than angelborn may become sensitive to desires, such as natural humans during a domination scheme. As a general rule, most desires should begin with a verb in order to display correctly.
Syntax: desire (degree) (desire) Or desire (person) (degree) (desire)
Valid degrees are: mild, moderate, or strong.
Example: Steve types, “desire moderate demonstrate proper use of the desire syntax“
Result: “You slightly want to help Steve fulfil his desire to demonstrate proper use of the desire syntax.”
Note that a period is automatically appended for you; adding one yourself will result in a double period.
You can use wdesire to use a desire and wish command simultaneously.

Dread
Dread
dread (degree) (thing)
dread (person) (degree) (thing)
–Project something your character is dreading at the current point in time. The degree is mild, moderate or strong. The person you name has to be in the room with you.
–Without a person named, everyone in the room who can sense dread senses it. With a person named, only that person does, and only if they can sense dread.
What it looks like
You see:
You feel (mildly/moderately) negatively preoccupied with the prospect of (thing).
Those who sense it see:
You (just slightly/moderately) want to manifest (your name)’s dread of (thing).
A strong dread leaves out the degree word in both lines.
Who senses dread
–Demonborn sense dread.
–So does anyone under the dreadwatcher ritual, for as long as it lasts (see help enhancements rituals).
–An AI-driven demonborn character in the room senses it the same way, and may act on it.
–An item imbued with demonborn blood lets its wearer feel suffering, not dread.
Roleplaying dread
This command represents the ability of those with demonic empathic abilities to intuitively sense the things that will best elicit suffering in others. Demonborn are not typically aware of the exact details of what someone is dreading, it is not mind reading, but they can pick up the general themes and ideas behind it.
What a player chooses for the dread command and their level does not represent what their character most fears or dreads generally, rather whatever it is most currently on their mind which makes it heavily influenced by the situation and circumstances. It is also often heavily influenced by their current train of thought, for instance someone mentions getting up early tomorrow, which makes them think about something they have to do at work tomorrow, which makes them start dreading being told off by their boss. This can at times be a little confusing for a demonborn who’d have no idea why they’re starting to feel like it’d be a good idea to put on a suit and scold this person.
Skilled demonborn interrogators work hard to try and control and influence the train of thought of their targets in order to more usefully use this sense to obtain valuable information or expose people’s weaknesses.

Encounters are random IC events run by storyrunners that occur in an
instanced version of Haven.
SRs first use encounter launch, this command will find a player and pick
from a list of 50+ possible encounters, prompting the player with the option
to join an encounter and giving the name of the SR running it. The player
has two minutes to respond, if they accept both they and the SR are moved
into an instanced copy of the room they were just in, and the SR is given a
short one to two sentence description of the encounter.
The SR will then use this writing prompt to create a small RP scene for the
participants, they will earn enhanced karma for this much like they would
for running an adventure, but not as much. During the adventure they can of
course summon in new people if there’s a reason to single them out in
particular, but they can also make use of the encounter bringin command.
This command puts the encounter onto the where list with the string the SR
specifies, appearing as (string) is happening in (room) and also the name of
the SR and person first recruited. It also sends an echo to those most
likely to notice the encounter going on. From there players can use
encounter join (SR name) to join the encounter up to a maximum of five.
SRs can edit encounter rooms with the decorate command.
There is a week cooldown on running encounters.
Every 6 weeks an SR can use encounter launch (name) to launch an encounter with a particular target.
Once the SR sees the encounter they can add it to an existing storyline if they think it fits.
Once added to a storyline they can also assign it a mastermind if it makes sense.
Be advised that encounters are not private affairs; they show up on faction/cult/sect report events for society members and are logged on Haven’s website as well.

habit
Syntax: habit/ habit (category) (amount/frequency)
The Habit command is used to set your characters offline habits, this serves
several purposes. Firstly it’s visible to trusted SRs when they look you
up, and can give them a good idea of what your character is about. Secondly
it helps players themselves think about what their character does and thus
what they should know.
Habits also can have code ramifications, but these are generally small and
bi-directional, so a small buff and small nerf to prevent there being any
optimum habit set.
Habits are very important for some archetypes however. Demonborns can use
them to set how often they generally give into their demonic sadism. Based
on this setting they may occasionally get a message that they were mean to
someone the day before, it’s up to them to RP what actually happened.
Vampires use it to set their feeding habits, careful is the default and
means the vampire takes care when selecting victims to choose those they
think will survive. These kill about one a year and have a small chance of
going hungry. Animal setting vampires feed on animals and bagged blood,
they never kill anyone but are less healthy and often hungry. Reckless are
vampires who don’t care about human lives, they kill about 3 a year and
never go hungry.
Vampires have a small chance when they logon to get a message about having
killed someone the day previous. It’s up to them to RP how/why this
happened. They will be tainted for this as well, but nobody will have any
real way of knowing they were responsible to aura them, unless they tell
them.
Werewolves can use the command to set what they do during the full moon.
Calmed means they take efforts to keep themselves calm, such as taking
valium on the full moon. Chained means they keep themselves locked up
during the full moon. Careless means they go about their business as usual,
and embracing means they embrace the lunacy. Depending on these factors
Werewolves have a chance to get a message about having killed or seriously
injured someone the day before, again they’ll be tainted and it’s up to them
to RP what happened.
You are free to RP accidentally killing/seriously injuring someone on your
characters even when you don’t get a message, in fact we’d encourage most
new vampires/weres to do a scene on the first time they accidentally kill
someone, as that’s a character defining moment.

Helpless
Syntax: Helpess/Helpless request (person) (reason)
This command toggles you between helpless and non helpless state. You
cannot use it to get out of a helpless state if you are rendered helpless by
other means such as being bound.
It allows people to perform commands on you that can only be done on
helpless targets however.
Using helpless request (person) (reason) will echo to the target (Your name)
wants you to become helpless so that (reason) and can be used if you need
someone to become helpless for whatever you are attempting ICly and want to
convey that information.
It is not illegal to mislead people with the reason given, although
obviously it is very bad RP if the reason given couldn’t possibly cover
allowing a vulnerability to the act actually performed.

Hire
The hire command can be used to pay for private investigations with money.
This command works very similarly to the order command, but hired
investigators do not have a cooldown and do not have any requirements
outside of the cash in hand.
The character being researched does not need to be targeted by coded name.
Remembered names or short descriptions will work as well, regardless if
it is a mask, although inexact keywords may return an unintended target.
If the target changes their appearance by shifting or masking, the command
will return, “Cannot be found.” Characters who are not online or not
targetable will return a blank line.
Syntax: hire investigate <target>
Cost: $200
An investigation returns the target’s basic information, such as their
full name, date of birth, address and phone number. The report also
may include any society and subfaction associations, owned properties,
and registered vehicle license plate numbers.
Once the results of an investigation has been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
Syntax: hire research <scheme number/target>
Cost: $200
If used on a scheme, this will return details about what type it is.
If used on a character, this will return what is in their public history.
Once the results of a background check have been returned to you, it is not
saved on the server. You must manually save it yourself.
RP Note: If you are using the research command to find a character’s
history for a report, note that your report should be rephrased
and not just copy/pasted.
Syntax: hire tail <target>
Syntax: scout <target>
Cost: $400
A hired tail will inconspicuously follow your target, reporting their
location so long as it is in a public area. Tails will stay on your
target for quite some time, perhaps up to half a day. In order to find
out where your target last was seen, use the scout command.

background check on your character. Histories can be looked up by other
player characters in game. They are also visible to storyrunners whom
you have trusted to at least basic, as well as all immortals.
Major character secrets that do not fit in your background are likely
better suited to character notes.

Influence
Influence is a resource mechanic representing your character’s sway with
the general NPC population in the game, and can be used for a number of
social mechanics in-game.
Influence is mostly earned by roleplaying with other characters. You will
earn a small amount of influence whenever you roleplay with someone.
However, most influence is earned by other people roleplaying with you.
Whenever you’re roleplaying with someone and especially when they
specifically target or speak to you you’ll earn some influence based on
their social rank, as well as, how much influence they’ve given out
recently. In essence, the more important and famous someone is and the more
attention they pay you relative to everyone else, the more influence you
earn.
Influence can be used to praise or diss someone, to start rumors, to run
schemes or found societies. It is capped at 100k.
There are several subtypes of influence that can be earned in other ways,
but each of them have more restricted uses and none of them can be
transferred to other people for the use of schemes.
Society Influence
Society Influence is gained based on your society standing and can only
be used for loyalty praises and disses for other people, and not yourself.

IP checks
When your account first connects, the game has your connection scored by an outside service for the risk that it is a VPN, a proxy or a bot. The score applies to your whole account.
–A normal score: no restrictions.
–A high score: you can play, but you have no access to channels, and you are reminded of this from time to time.
–A very high score: you cannot leave character creation, and a character already in the game is logged out. A connection that scores this high stays flagged, so checking again from it will not help.
iprecheck
–If your account is restricted, connect from a regular, non-mobile connection and use this to have that connection scored. The check runs in the background and the result follows shortly. It can only ever improve your account’s score, never make it worse. If the new score is normal, all restrictions are lifted and you will not need to do this again.
–You can use it once a day. If the check itself could not be completed, you can try again in an hour.
If you cannot clear the check, contact the administration for help.

Karma
Karma is a game resource mostly used to create higher tier characters and
also to increase your experience or roleplay experience cap. It is
generally only given out for activities that add to the story of the game
world such as StoryRunning.
Personal Karma:
Personal karma is gained just by regular roleplaying. It builds up on your
account, but it stops building once it reaches 45,000 less whatever
personal karma the character you are playing has already spent. Personal
karma can only be spent on creating a character, or on changing a
character’s archetype or modifier, and any one character can use at most
25,000 personal karma. It cannot be spent with karma buy.
Beyond this the only ways to obtain karma are to use a storyrunner,
specifically to run encounters, plots, scheme thwart attempts or scenes in
the wilds. Or to fill in character feedback surveys, and in some cases,
create operations.
Syntax: change archetype (archetype) (modifier/none)
change modifier (modifier)
karma buy (xpcap/rpxpcap/experience/rpexperience/influence/respect/cash) (karma to spend)
Returning karma:
When a character is rerolled, the karma they spent goes into your karma
bank, which returns it slowly over time roleplaying. Earning karma makes
it return much quicker. Only non personal karma spent will return, and the
bank never holds more than the karma your account has earned plus 5,000.
Karma spent on experience or roleplay experience does not return; of karma
spent on influence or respect, 80% returns, and of karma spent on cash, 60%.
Society Leaders and Storyrunners can grant awards to players which increases
their rate of karma gain until they’ve earned a set amount and can help make
accruing karma easier. Impressing your Storyrunners with your roleplaying
and impressing your society leaders with your usefulness are the best ways
to obtain these awards.
Conversions:
XP/RPXP Cap: 25 per 1 karma spent.
XP: 50 per 1 karma spent.
RPXP: 10 per 1 karma spent.
Influence: 50 per 1 karma spent. You cannot hold more than 100,000 influence.
Respect: 5 per 1 karma spent.

$S – target’s his/hers $s – your his/her.
$E – target’s he/she $e – your he/she
In fast combat, your attacks will always have their effect added to the
end, such as ‘mildly wounds him’ or ‘deflects off her armor’. So it is good
to leave the end open-ended when writing the way it looks for the sections
of myself, target, bystanders, etc, by using words like this, that, which,
‘the attack’, etc.
Used to create a new custom attack for your character with the following
fields:
Name: The name given to the custom attack will be the command used. For
example. If the name is stab, the syntax in combat will be: stab (target).
Discipline: The discipline specifies which discipline the custom attack uses.
Special: Special refers to any special effects added. See Also: Special List.
Myself: The message displayed to you when the attack is used.
Target: The message displayed to the target when the attack is used.
Bystanders: The message displayed to everyone else when the attack is used.
Delayed messages are those seen when a delayed attack hits.
Syntax: myattacks list
Will list the name, disc and special effects for saved custom attacks.
Syntax: myattacks info (custom name)
Will show information about the created custom attack.
Syntax: myattacks delete (custom name)
Will delete an already made custom attack.
In addition, you can change parts of an already created attack individually
with the following syntaxes:
myattacks rename (name) (newname)
myattacks discipline (name) (discipline)
myattacks special (name) (special)
myattacks myself (name) (message)
myattacks target (name) (message)
myattacks bystanders (name) (message)
myattacks myselfdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks targetdelayed (name) (message)
myattacks bystandersdelayed (name) (message)
When you want to refer to other people in the strings, you can use the
following keys.
$N – target’s name $n – your name.
$M – target’s him/her $m – your him/her.
$S – target’s his/hers $s – your his/her.
$E – target’s he/she $e – your he/she

end, such as ‘mildly wounds him’ or ‘deflects off her armor’. So it is good
to leave the end open-ended when writing the way it looks for the sections
of myself, target, bystanders, etc, by using words like this, that, which,

MyHaven
MyHaven
MyHaven is the social and dating app that most Haven residents have on their phones. You find people on it, match with them as friends, dates or professional contacts, and the app then suggests when the two of you should chat or meet. Your handle, which always starts with @, is how people find you on it. You also need a profile to use chatrooms (see help chatroom).
Setting up your profile
myhaven setup
–Start editing your profile. Your prompt shows the profile as it stands. While you are editing, these commands fill it in:
handle (name)
–Set your handle. You type the name, and it becomes @name. Nobody else can already be using it.
aboutme
–Open the editor to write your About Me: your personality, interests, and whatever else people should know. Nobody finds you by browsing until this is written.
photo (pose)
–Take your profile picture. It shows you as you look right now, posed the way you describe. Eidolons write their picture as free text in the editor instead.
quote (text)
–Set a quote for your profile.
joke
–Open the editor to write a joke for your profile.
attractedto
–Open the editor to describe the kind of people you are attracted to. Only people you have a dating match with can see this.
webprofilepic (url), webbackground (url), webpictures, webyoutubes
–Pictures and videos for your character’s page on the Haven website. The last two open the editor: put one link on each line.
done
–Save your profile and stop editing.
Finding people
myhaven browse or myhaven browse new
–See a random profile you have not matched with yet. Only people who have been on in the last three days show up. With new, you only see profiles made in the last eight days.
myhaven viewprofile (handle)
–Look at someone’s profile. On its own, it shows you your own.
Matching
myhaven match (handle) (friends, date and/or professional)
–Ask to match with someone as any mix of the three, for example myhaven match @sam friends date. If they are online, they are told that someone matched with them, but not who.
–A match only happens when both of you have chosen each other, and it only covers the kinds you both picked. If they later match you back with nothing in common, no match is made. When a match is made, you are both told what it is for, even if the other person is offline.
text (handle) (message)
–Text a match by their handle, for example text @sam see you at eight. You need your phone in hand and a signal, as for any text, and you must have matched with each other.
myhaven rematch (handle) (friends, date and/or professional)
–Replace your choices for an existing match with new ones.
myhaven unmatch (handle)
–End a match.
myhaven list
–List your matches. People who are online show in green. Matches who have not been on for about three days are left off.
Chatting and meeting
myhaven chatwith (handles)
–Mark matches you would like to chat with, for example myhaven chatwith @sam @alex. Naming someone already marked unmarks them. The marks stay until you remove them.
myhaven meetwith (handles)
–The same, for matches you would like to meet in person.
–When two matches have marked each other, MyHaven may suggest that they chat or meet. One of you is chosen to open the conversation, or to pick the place and activity. A suggestion only comes when both of you are online, alone in your rooms, not AFK and not set to low availability (see help availability), have cell signal, and have not had a suggestion in the last half hour. Meetings are suggested before chats.
photo (handle) (pose)
–Send a photo to one of your matches through MyHaven.
myhaven suspend
–Stop MyHaven suggesting chats and meetings. Use it again to start them again.
Ratings
myhaven rate (handle) (0.1 to 5.0)
–Once you and a match have talked enough, you are told you can rate how much fun they are to chat with, and later how much fun they are to spend time with in person. Ratings are anonymous. Once someone has a couple of ratings, a star score shows on their profile.
myhaven rateevent (0.1 to 5.0)
–Rate an event you went to, when you are told you can.
Plus
myhaven plus
–Switch MyHaven Plus on or off. Plus members see the wealth and education of the people whose profiles they view.
Premium
MyHaven Premium is something that certain powerful, and so corrupt, members of the supernatural world had added to the app. Anyone can buy it with myhaven buypremium for $5000. Arkwrights and Inigos of tier 2 or higher, the villain of the week, and Eidolons get it free when they log on.
The premium commands below work on a match who has sent you at least three messages through MyHaven in the last three hours. Otherwise the attempt fails.
myhaven camhack (handle)
–Hack their phone camera. Their phone warms up a little. From then on you see their emotes wherever you are. It stops when they turn their phone off, or when either of you leaves the game. Only one person can camhack someone at a time.
myhaven telekinesis (handle) (message)
–Push force through their phone. They alone see your message, as something that happens around them, after their phone warms up a little.
myhaven hypnotise (handle) (type) (pressure one) (pressure two) (pressure three) (instruction)
–Hypnotise them through the phone. It works like the hypnotize command (see help hypnotism), and they can accept or resist it the same way (see help imprint). The type can be instruction, compulsion, body instruction, body compulsion, triggered instruction, triggered compulsion, triggered body instruction or triggered body compulsion. A triggered type takes its trigger in brackets before the instruction. Each one costs you between $20 and $40.
These two work on a match when you have both marked each other for chatting (or meeting), and a suggestion could come right now apart from the half-hour wait and the random chance. They also work if either of you has suspended MyHaven:
myhaven forcechat (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a chat between you straight away, with you opening the conversation.
myhaven forcemeet (handle)
–Make MyHaven suggest a meeting straight away, with you picking the place and activity.

Naturalize
Syntax: Naturalize target
This command fires a naturalizer at the specified target. It requires a
naturalizer which looks like a black polymer electronic handgun.
In combat it can only be used by those with 5 points in the soldiering
ability line and has a 50 unit range.
Out of combat it can be used by anyone, but if the target is not helpless or
bound the chance of a hit is quite low.

obvious sign of it having been fired.
If a shifter in animal form is struck but the naturalizer they will be
turned back into their human shape, and be unable to shift back into animal
form for some time. Animals who have been neutralized cannot be
naturalized.

Neutralize
Syntax: Neutralize (target)
This command is used to throw a neutralization grenade, in combat it can
only be used by those who have the riot control ability line at 5. Everyone
within 15 of the target will be neutralized.
Out of combat it can be used by anyone, and takes no target, neutralizing
everyone in the room for about fifteen minutes.
The out of combat effect will not carry over if a fight breaks out.
Individuals can also be neutralized by wearing a neutralization collar or
being implanted with a neutralizer.
When neutralized a supernatural loses access to all their supernatural
abilities. Although they haven’t actually been changed and vampires
continue to be undead and so on, they’re unable to access any supernatural
powers or abilities for the duration. All supernatural powers and abilities
are rendered zero except for mimic and obfuscate, physical stats are also
lowered as is maximum damage from melee and shapeshifter attacks. But
things like supernatural durability or toughness are not. Abomination
powers are not neutralized but abominations cannot go blackeyes while they
are if not already.
Shapeshifters who are neutralized in animal form become typical members of
their animal species, not only losing a good deal of their combat power but
also losing their human memories, thoughts and higher cognitive powers
entirely for the duration.

Nightmare hostile
nhostile (target)
–Take a hostile stance that, when it springs, strikes your target through the nightmare and drags them and the people already in the room deep into it, starting a fight there. To the room it looks like an ordinary hostile stance. You need to be able to enter the nightmare yourself, and your target must be someone you could nightmare pull: a player or a vehicle you can see and reach. Unlike an ordinary hostile stance, it is not stopped by the room being public.
nhostile
–With the stance up, lower it. hostile also lowers it. Lowering a stance takes five seconds.
What springs it
–Someone arriving in the room after you took the stance. They, and the people with them, are left out of the fight.
–Someone elsewhere attacking into the room. Their attack does not land, and they are left out of the fight.
–Anything in the room that would spring an ordinary hostile stance, such as someone trying to leave, making a call, or waking someone. Then nobody in the room is left out.
When it springs
Everyone in the room is pulled deep into the nightmare, except whoever sprang it and their group, and your target is pulled in wherever they are. It costs the same life force as a nightmare pull, and brings you out of hiding. People inside a property under siege cannot be dragged. A Noctilith whose eyes are black pays no life force, and one who catches up with their quarry with noctilith hunt springs a nightmare hostile on arrival.
When it fails
The stance is checked again when it springs. If you or your target no longer qualify, for example because they have moved out of reach, joined another fight, become helpless, or gone into a shielded building, your hold on the nightmare slips away and nothing happens. The stance also ends if you move or climb, or if your target logs off.
You cannot take the stance while you are fighting, helpless, travelling, too tired, dreaming, or where the deep nightmare is too disturbed.

Nightmare
Syntax: nightmare
Enter or exit the nightmare physically
The nightmare is a psychic realm that exists midway between reality and
dream.
No one can enter the nightmare without a special charm, and seeing into
it requires drinking of mandrake tea. The details of individuals outside
the nightmare and what they’re doing cannot be seen from inside it.
Physically leaving the nightmare requires a room with a mirror in it.
Dreaming characters also wander the nightmare as spectres.
When inside the nightmare, characters have a nightmare manifestation, items
or changes in their appearance which are manifested from their psyche.
It is possible to use some of your life force to physically force another
into the nightmare in order to assault them. Most supernatural conflicts

your target and yank them forcefully deep into the nightmare. Starting a
fight immediately. It also causes a ripple at the point of impact, giving
anyone else capable of entering the nightmare a chance to join them.
You can also nightmare pull vehicles, in which case the vehicle tends to
disappear and become lost, only to show up a short time later
in some random location as if parked, and the driver of the vehicle is the
one who takes the full blast of the nightmare pull. Characters in buildings
protected by nightmare shields cannot generally be forced into the nightmare.
Normal humans who are near people who enter or are pulled into the nightmare
often experience a momentary spacing out or deja vu.
You cannot earn influence in the nightmare.
You can enter the nightmare in towns, and in a room with a mirror in it.

nweapon
Nightmare weapons
Any weapon, melee or ranged, can be made into a nightmare weapon: a shape your fears take, which you can call into your hand whenever you are in the nightmare.
nweapon
–Show your nightmare weapon, and whether it is summoned.
nweapon bind (weapon)
–While you are in the nightmare, pour your fears into a weapon you are carrying. The weapon is used up and becomes your nightmare weapon. You can have only one. If you already have one, you must add confirm to the end, and the old one is destroyed for good.
–Consumables such as grenades, darts, bolas, caltrops, landmines and bandages cannot be bound. Neither can relics, trade goods, or anything with something still inside it.
nweapon summon
–Call it into your hand. This only works in the nightmare. If your hands are full, it waits among your things.
nweapon dismiss
–Send it back into the dark.
What it is
–It exists only in the nightmare. As soon as you leave, by any route, it dissolves. You still have it, and can summon it again the next time you are there.
–It never leaves you. It cannot be dropped, given, sold, put into anything, destroyed, cloned or kept in an outfit, and it never turns into a real item.
–It fights exactly like the weapon it was made from, and it counts as a weapon however it looks.
–Its ammunition and charges carry over. Dismissing it and summoning it again does not reload or refill it.
–You can reshape how it looks anywhere, with no workshop: customize its short and long descriptions, names, description, extra descriptions and wear string. Its stats cannot be changed.

Operation
Syntax: Make Operation
operation list/info/enroll/cancel/reinforce (number)
Operations are combat missions planned and executed by societies. Anyone in
a society can create an operation, although they might be canceled by more
senior members in player made societies. When doing so they specify all the details
of that mission such as where it will take place, when it will occur the
goals to be achieved and the adversaries to face.
If a societies suceeds at an operation they are rewarded with resources, more
resources are given if more enemies show up. If the society which created
the operation wins they will earn 10% more if the operation was created by
their leader.
Help Operation Fields outlines all the fields you can fill in when making an
operation and what they mean.
Help Operation Types explains the different objectives that operations can
have.
Help Psychic Battles explains the lore behind operations.
The authors of operations can sometimes earn small amounts of karma when
their operation launches, so long as they’re online.
Winners of operations earn resources based on the number of participants and
challenge of the operation, others can earn resources based on number of NPC
adversaries defeated.
All other societies have to do to participate in operations is sign up with
the operation signup command. Characters can participate from anywhere but
will be vulnerable and asleep while participating.
The rewards for winning an operation are lower the more you have already won
in that week. They are also lower if you fight less enemies, always run them
at the same time, or always face the same opponents, particularly if you tend
to get similar results against the same opponents.
Operation reinforce (operation number) (number of soldiers) can be used to
send soldiers (noted as ‘manpower’ in society info) to assist in operations.
These soldiers can be guided with the battle command.
Operation timeshift (operation number) (positive or negative hours) can be
used by the target of a psychic operation to change when it will occur.
Operation signup (operation number) is used to sign up to operations.
Operation bribe (operation number) is used to win an operation without
fighting it for a base cost of 50k resources.
Territory lockout (number of days) (territory) Prevents operations being
created in that territory for the specified number of days. Costs $200 resources for one day, increasing
by 150% for each following day, so $300 for 2 days, $450 for 3, $675 for 4.
Nightmare pull, dream invade and dream snare now all work on enemies in
operations. Using any of these commands will make the command considered
pending, and you must be the one to defeat the enemy to make it fire.
Doing so will immediately remove you from the operation.
Nightmare pull will pull the target through the nightmare to your current
location, they will be unconscious when they arrive and considered
abducted codely and thus of no real alchemical value.
Normal lifeforce costs apply and none of these actions can be performed on
someone with a weakness.

probe
Probe
For storyrunners
probe (person) (stat, stat…)
–Find out about the stats, disciplines or abilities of someone you are RPing with. They do not have to be in the room with you. Each stat is described the same way showstat would describe it, so you see what their level means as well as the number. You can ask about several at once: separate them with commas, since many stat names are more than one word. For example, probe Anna Acute Hearing, Strength, Larceny.
–A name one letter out is still recognised. A stat they do not have may be left out of the answer; if nothing you asked about can be shown, you are told there is no such stat.
–For each stat, though not for disciplines, you are also told how they acquired it where that is recorded: self mastered, taught by someone, acquired through blackmail, and so on.
–To probe someone they must have given you trust, or be in a room you are running. Unless they have given you trust 2 or higher, they are shown what you probed and the answer you got.
–Abomination stats stay hidden unless they have given you trust 3. A hidden stat reads as though they simply do not have it.
–You can only probe players.
probe (person) experience
–See their worlds experience.
For players
probe (person) (stat)
–Send someone in the room an anonymous request to demonstrate a discipline or stat. Use its exact name. It might be used after someone has done something in RP that would require a stat people are unsure they have. While you don’t have to use showstat after someone probed you, failing to do so might be considered poor RP practice.

any DNA found. The Sheriff’s department files this information away (or loses
it) in the event that the accused rapist ever goes to trial. Due to the
timeframe involved, such trials are beyond the scope of the game.

Rollchallenge
Rollchallenge
Storyrunners only. Once a player in the room has used try, this sets the challenge they roll against.
rollchallenge (player) (difficulty 0-5) (helpfulness 0-3)
rollchallenge (player) (difficulty) (helpfulness) (assistants 0-5) (randomness 0-3)
–Difficulty is how hard the task is in itself: 0 Trivial, 1 Easy, 2 Moderate, 3 Hard, 4 Very Hard, 5 Extreme.
–Helpfulness is how much the stats they named actually help at the level they have them: 0 None, 1 Low, 2 Moderate, 3 High.

the same account as the individual who put it into stasis, they are also the
only ones who can see it on the society list.
When a character is put into stasis, they will get their xp and rpxp returned
just like if they deleted the character, spent non-personal karma will also
go into their bank. In order to unstasis the character, the player must have
unspent xp and rpxp equal to what was returned, as well as enough personal
karma and regular + banked karma for the character’s tier. Characters are
brought back from stasis from the login screen where one would normally
choose a character to play.
Characters in stasis at least 6 weeks will lose all secrecy penalties.
Stasis characters cannot be abducted.
Stasis characters retain their dream xp, influence and world xp.
New societies cannot be created or old ones brought out of stasis before the
20th of each month.

stats
Syntax: stats (all/cost)
Syntax: powers (all/cost)
Stats represent almost all non-direct-combat attributes your character has,
ranging from wealth, attractiveness, NPC friends, physique, education and
miscellaneous skills. They are raised with RP Experience, which is earned
from general roleplay.
Stats can vary in value from a minimum of -1 to a maximum of 5, though not
all stats have assignable values at each tier. When assigning stat points,
simply use the train command to train the next available tier.
-1: Returns 10,000 RPXP to your RPXP pool.
0: Costs 0 RPXP.
1: Costs 10,000 RPXP.
2: Costs 30,000 RPXP. (1 for level 1, 2 for level 2)
3: Costs 60,000 RPXP. (1+2+3)
4: Costs 100,000 RPXP.
5: Costs 150,000 RPXP.
Powers:
Supernatural stats can be found under the powers command, but follow the
same rules as stats for the most part. They are limited by circumstances
detailed elsewhere.
Animal Stats:
Animal stats follow special rules and are detailed in a secondary file.

list/info/create/type/permissions/description/npcs/lore/secrets/submit/clai-
/unclaim/approvelock/sponsor/deny/territory/makeplot/galleryadd/gallerydelete
/mastermind <number> <argument>
This command allows anyone to submit an idea for a story, the idea might be
about their PC, it might be something they want to do with their SR, or
might just be a thing they thought of.
To create a storyidea simply use storyidea create, then storyidea list to
see it’s number, from then you can fill out the fields. The
description/npcs/and lore fields are mandatory, if npcs and lore don’t
apply, simply put ‘None’ in their fields.
The type can be adventure, joint, competitive if you want to run an
adventure. Quest or personal for a personal, targeted story. Or other in
all other cases.
The description can be as short of long as you’d like, and contain IC and
OOC info, but keep in mind it’s good to give some creative freedom to the SR
who’ll be running the story.
The secrets field will not be seen by anyone until it’s claimed, although
staff can look at if if they want to. Staff may edit a storyidea before
approving it, usually in cases where there’s only one or two small issues
The permissions filed allows a player submitting a personal idea type to
select which SRs will be able to claim it, and can be edited even after the
storyidea is approved.
Whoever submits an idea has 24 hours after it is approved where only they
will be able to claim it. You can also unclaim a plot, allowing someone
else to claim it.
There are several types of approval, aside from normal approval there’s also
timed approval, this is an automatic approval that happens if a storyidea
hasn’t been dealt with in 5 days, it allows for the possibility of the staff
being somehow unable to do their jobs, sponsored means it’s been approved
and the staff want it run for whatever reason, like it being part of a staff
story. Locked means it’s been approved but isn’t available for claiming
yet. This may be because of an overabundance of similar plots for instance.
Finally, using storyidea makeplot <number> <title> allows you to turn a
story idea you’ve claimed into a full blown plot, with some of the
information that was in the storyidea put on. You would still need to add
more information, but it’s a quick and easy way to change storyideas into
plots.
Sponsored storyideas award bonus karma when claimed, and all adventure types
award some karma when claimed and completed.
Using this system is mandatory for any SR action that’s more than just
ambience or involves supernatural elements.
When setting a mastermind for a storyidea, it is important to remember
to include references to the mastermind in the storyidea. Not doing so will
mean the mastermind will be stripped from it.

try (action) with (stat, stat…)
–Tell the room what you are attempting and which of your stats, disciplines or abilities you are bringing to it. For example, try to pick the lock with Larceny, Dexterity. Separate the stats with commas, since many stat names are more than one word. If your action itself contains the word “with”, that is fine: only the last “with” starts the stat list.
try (number) (action) with (stat, stat…)
–A number at the front limits how many people may assist you. try 0 … means nobody can.
The room sees your attempt along with each stat you named, described the same way showstat describes it. A name that is one letter out is still recognised. A name the game does not recognise is shown as “(Unknown)” rather than refused, and so may a stat you do not have at all, so check your spelling. Knowledge of the supernatural is Know Super here.
The storyrunner in the room is told what you are trying and decides whether it needs a roll. If it does, they set a challenge with rollchallenge and you are told what you need; then type roll. If there is no storyrunner in the room, you are told so and nothing further happens.
A storyrunner may ask you to try something with calltry. You answer with try in the same way.

Victimize
Syntax: Victimize (target) (option)
Syntax: Become Difficult Prisoner
When used without a target, victimize will list all the possible options.
The victimize command allows someone to transfer some life force from a
helpless target to themselves. Each of the options presents a different way
to torment the victim, which will occur the next time the user uses an
emote.
The victim will then get a list of options of how to respond, and inputs a
number to select which one they will use, which also occurs on their next
emote. Victimize always costs the victim the same amount of life force, but
how much is transferred depends on the response chosen, with earlier, lower
number responses transferring more.
The victim has two minutes to make a response, and then 15 minutes to pick
an emote. If they do not make a response, stoic unresponsive will be chosen
for them. If they do not write an emote it will be processed as if they
did. Stoic unresponsive will always fire immediately, not requiring an
emote.
If a victim chooses the stoic unresponsive option twice in a row, they will
immediately transfer as much life force as they could over a prolonged scene
at a limited rate and be flagged as a difficult prisoner. Typing become
difficult prisoner will also flag you this way, but has a slightly higher
cost. Difficult prisoners slowly drain the life force from anyone
roleplaying with them while they are helpless and this flag lasts for three
days.
Using the pass out option similarly transfers as much life force as could be
transferred over a prolonged scene, but does not flag the victim as being a
difficult prisoner.
Lower tier victims provide less life force and characters will also obtain
less when using the same victimize options repeatedly. When using victimize
options that are not themselves mean, they will instead add to the amount
transferred on the next mean action. Supernaturals of higher tier than
their victims transfer lifeforce twice as fast as mundane’s given their
ability to also feed on psychic distress.
Any victims in the institute will lose life force as if being fed upon by a
supernatural, but their persecutor will only gain it as if they were human.
They will also gain standing in the institute however. While no official
comment has been made by the Greystone Trust confirming this
practice, most figure their discreet promotion of the practice has something
to do with this missing life force.
Attempting to OOCly influence the choices victims or persecutors make, or
attempting to insult or shame players after the fact for the choices they
make, including difficult prisoner choices is a violation of the rules and
will be treated harshly.
Less lifeforce can be obtained through Victimize if the target is being
victimized in the dream scape.

Real-world weather
The weather follows the real world. Every hour the game fetches the current real weather: temperature, cloud cover, and whether it is raining, hailing or snowing. Haven has its own weather, and regions of the wider world take the weather of a real place in that region. The temperature shown is the real “feels like” temperature, so wind chill and humidity are already counted.
Time of day in Haven follows real Eastern time. Regions elsewhere in the world keep their own local time.
Indoors
If you are indoors and cannot see outside, you get the indoor temperature instead, and, unless you are underground, whether it is raining or hailing outside. You cannot tell the time of day from inside unless you are attuned to the sun. If you are indoors but can see outside, you see the sky as normal, and rain, hail or snow is described as falling outside.
Some properties have their own weather or temperature settings, and weather magic can change the weather for a property. Either one takes the place of the real weather there.
What the weather affects
Some powers work better in hot or cold weather, and other things in the game check the temperature, or whether it is raining or snowing, where you are.

time after it’s already enabled, it will toggle anonymity. A third time will
disable both.
Syntax: where ban list
A list of currently where banned characters will be displayed.
Syntax: where ban (character)
Syntax: where ban account (account)
Syntax: where ban (male / female)
The target’s account will be unable to see your character listed on where.
This behaves as a toggle. Where banning a target which is already on your
list will allow that account to see your character again.
Syntax: hotspot
This command will create a temporary hotspot at the character’s location.
Characters present in such a room will be totaled for and displayed with the
where command.
The where command is a fundamentally OOC tool that players can utilize to find
roleplaying partners more easily. The output has two components: hotspots and
roomtitles.
Hotspots are locations where players would normally expect to encounter other
characters such as at the Lodge or other resturant. These locations will not
display individual information about the characters present, but will total the
number of players present. Shop owners can toggle the hotspot status of any
room they control with decorate hotspot. Furthermore, any room that contains
eight or more players will automatically become a hotspot.
The roomtitles of characters can also be displayed with the where command, but
the players must opt in and have no more than two characters in the room to do
so. This allows for individuals or pairs looking for roleplay to advertise
their activity in a particular room. In order to toggle visibility, use the
wherevis command and have a roomtitle set. Where visibility is turned off when
a character moves. If an individual wishes to be visible on the where list, but
doesn’t wish to advertise their intro, they may type wherevis a second time and
it will change to either a man, a woman, or an animal as appropriate.
Where will display a list of currently occupied hotspots and the total
number of characters present in each. It will also subsequently list the
roomtitles of individual characters and the room they are in if those players
have toggled their where visibility.
Syntax: wherevis
Wherevis toggles the where visibility and where anonymity of an individual
when used in conjunction with a roomtitle. A character must also have a
roomtitle set in order to be visible on the where list. If used a second
time after it’s already enabled, it will toggle anonymity. A third time will
disable both.
Syntax: where ban list

Syntax: where ban (character)
Syntax: where ban account (account)
Syntax: where ban (male / female)

list will allow that account to see your character again.

whisper
Syntax: whisper to <target> <string>
Whisper allows you to say a string to a single person in the room,
without everyone else hearing the entire conversation. The other people in
the room should hear bits of the conversation, however, which makes it more
realistic, especially for RP purposes.
Example: whisper to bob Bah, what a slacker!
You whisper to bob, ‘Bah, what a slacker!‘
When used without a target the whispered words will only be heard by people
in the same place as you.

wish
Wish
wish (text)
–Your character thinks that they want something to happen. This is similar to a prayer, although it does not have to be to any particular divinity or religious figure, or done by someone who is religious. Your text follows the word wishes, so wish for a quiet night reads as “wishes for a quiet night”.
Who hears it
–The closest person who can hear wishes, anywhere, hears the wish. If they are in the same room they hear that someone nearby made it. If not, they hear the direction it came from. Either way they are not told who made it. Characters on your own account never hear your wishes.
–Demigods can hear wishes. So can anyone wearing an item imbued with demigod blood (see help imbue).
–An AI-driven character in the room who can hear wishes hears it too, as well as the closest person above.
–Characters in the room with at least the second level of mind reading also hear the wish, and they do see who made it. A mind ward keeps your wishes from them.
Wish and desire together
wdesire (degree) (desire)
–Projects a desire and makes a wish for the same thing at once. See help wdesire.
