Syntax: 911 <message>

The 911 command sends an emergency message to the police band channel, which
is visible to characters with at least 1 level in hacking and a police scanner
and members of any of the factions.

Requirements: You must have a working cell phone with a signal. You cannot
use this command while helpless, mute, gagged, dead, or as a ghost. The
command won’t work during city blackouts

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.

Syntax: abductcheck (name)

This command determines if the player by the specified name is logged out in this room.

CREATE: Adds a description to another character, tied to a specific body
location. The system opens a string editor for you to write the description.

depends on your relationship level with the target.

Locations can be body parts or special categories like: – lightmakeup,
mediummakeup, heavymakeup, scent, hairstyle

DELETE: Removes a description with the specified keyword from your character.
You cannot delete descriptions that are still time-locked.

ACTIVATE: Makes a description with the specified keyword visible on your

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.

seen by typing replay. (unless of course the player logs off before
reading them).

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 in the mist when driving
slowly.

based on one of your drives. This indicates an instance where one of your
drives
caused your character to make a mistake.

Using ‘character’ sends a request to another player in your room to score you
based on one of your drives. This indicates an instance where one of your
drives
caused interpersonal failings or conflict.

Syntax: Clock
Start/Stop/Pause/Pushback/Speedup/Slowdown/List/Info/Delete/Forcetick

The ‘clock’ command allows SRs to create, manage, and display
timed progress trackers. These clocks can represent anything
from the duration of a ritual, the approach of reinforcements, the progress of
a complex task, or rounds in the scenario.

Clocks tick automatically at specified intervals (in real-world minutes). They
can optionally be divided into segments to track progress towards a goal.
If turn limited is enabled players will only be be able to use try and
attempt once per tick of that clock.

Only the SR who creates a clock can manage it using these commands. Players in
the room will see messages when clocks start, tick, pause, stop, or complete,
based on the clock’s description.

Creating Clocks:
Use the ‘make clock’ command to initiate the clock creation process. You will
be prompted for the following information:

Name: A unique name to identify this clock for commands (e.g.,
“RitualTimer”, “GuardPatrol”).
Desc: A description shown to players in the room when the clock
starts, ticks, etc. (e.g., “The arcane ritual pulses”, “Distant
footsteps grow louder”).
Minutes: The number of real-world minutes between each tick of the clock.
Segments: (Optional) The total number of segments (ticks) the clock needs
to complete. Enter 0 or leave blank if the clock should tick
indefinitely until stopped or deleted. Progress is shown as
“current/total” (e.g., 3/6).
TurnLimiting: Enter ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. If ‘Yes’, each tick of this clock will
reset the ability to use try and assist for players.

Type ‘done’ when finished editing the clock details.

Commands:

clock list
Lists all clocks you have created, showing their name, status, minutes per
turn, and segment progress (if applicable).

Syntax: color
Toggles color mode on or off for the mud.

Syntax: “(color code)

are able to be used in most aspects of the game, but not all.

Color Codes:
`00 or r – Red
1 or g – Green

Syntax: Commands

Typing commands will show you a list of all the commands in
the game.

Syntax: compact

Compact helps set your display options for the game. Typing
compact removes the extra blank line before your prompt. Typing compact again
undoes this change.

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, use ‘compete against
(person)
with strength’.

This 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)

Syntax: Curseobject (object) (body/mind) (imprint)

This command can only be performed in an arcane workshop and costs up
to three hundred dollars. Arcane focus and dark magic focus reduces

the cost.
A body cursed object will create the imprint ‘Your body (message)’ when
worn, a mind one the imprint ‘You need to (message)’

These last until the object is removed.

Those with occult knowledge of at least 4 can identify if an object is
cursed, but only if they have it in their possession.

Cursed objects will only apply their effects if worn willingly, and not
forced onto someone. If a cursed object is force removed from someone it will
cause the effect to linger for an extremely long time afterwards regardless.

Syntax: curtains (direction)

Close or open curtains over a window. Can only be done when indoors.

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, aura, skilllist.

Symbol, badge, large, focus, angeliccollar, relic, and
playlist take no values.

An explanation of fields follows:

Cover: Toggles cover location. A cover location is any area which the object
should normally cover when worn.

Zips: Toggles a zip’s location. A zip’s 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 phase used after the item when displayed, or
or before it if wrapped in ()

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 object’s cost. An object’s 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.

Skilllist: Adds a list of skills/abilities etc for performing better with game
items.

Aura: Sets a custom aura for a gemstone effect.

Warmth/Breathable: Adding the following keywords to a clothing’s short
description can make them warmer or more breathable/cooling: vented,
insulated, heated, padded, quilted, merino, thermal,
wool, fur.

Discipline (name): Sets the discipline of a weapon.

Syntax: ddesc create (keyword) (location)
ddesc delete (keyword)
ddesc edit (keyword)
ddesc activate (keyword)
ddesc deactivate (keyword)
ddesc list
ddesc search (keyword)

The ddesc command allows you to create and manage dynamic descriptive
elements for your character’s appearance.

You can create up to 100 different descriptions, each associated with a
specific keyword and body location. These descriptions can be activated or
deactivated to change your character’s visible appearance.

As well as body locations you can also target: lightmakeup, mediummakeup,
heavymakeup,
scent, and hairstyle.

When you activate or deactivate a description, others in the room will see a
message about your appearance changing (if that location isn’t covered by
clothing).

your monthly bill for the property; it is suggested you review ‘help property
costs’ for an understanding of these factors.

This command deletes your current character. You keep 80% of spent combat
and roleplay experience when you do this, with the first 350k RPXP spent
returning to your account without penalty. Invested regular karma is also
returned, but banked to return slowly over time. Personal karma is not
banked and must be re-earned.

There is a cooldown period between playing characters tier 3 and higher.
For T3, the cooldown is 1 week. For T4, the cooldown is 1 month. For T5,
the cooldown is 2 months.

You will need to confirm
this action. The last character on your account cannot be deleted.

Characters in stasis can be deleted from the character selection
screen using: delete (char name)

Syntax: deposit <amount>

Here at Haven a fully functional banking system is in use to save players
from carrying around all of their hard earned cash. The deposit command
lets you deposit money at the Sovereign Bank or at an ATM, from which it can
later be withdrawn.

————————————————————

Syntax is: describe <location>
Valid locations: self, lowerarms, upperarms, feet, lowerlegs, thighs,
groin, arse, lowerback, upperback, lowerchest, breasts, upperchest, neck,
hands, lowerface, forehead, hair, eyes, smell, taste, wolf
wolfchangeto, wolfchangefrom, merchangeto, merchangefrom, radioaction,
makeuplight, makeupmedium, makeupheavy

Used to describe your character.

Alt Syntax: describe replace/append (location) (new string)
This syntax allows someone to easily on the fly replace part of their
description or append to part of it. It will keep all formatting
around the original description intact, such as the number for its order and
any spaces or empty lines after it.

Taste is determined by your archetype automatically, though you may add extra
information which would primarily be impacted by your character’s dietary,
drug, and alcohol habits.

Radioaction is echoed to the room whenever you use a command such as fsay.
So for example, “$n lifts $s sleeve and speaks into the cuff.” would echo
“Jane lifts her sleeve and speaks into the cuff”.

See help descriptions

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. See Help
Wish.

Syntax: detail (location) (over/under)

This command allows you to add more detail to a body area, over details are
always seen, under details only when the area is exposed. Details do not
show up by default but only if an area is looked at or shown. You can show
people areas with show (location) (person), location being a bodyspot or
head/torso/legs/back/chest/everything.

You can look at locations with look (person) (location.) This will show all
the clothes and jewelry in that location, as well as the visible
descriptions and details.

Syntax: devour (food object)
Devour is used to eat the entirety of a food object at once.

Syntax: diminish (0-100)
diminish offer (person) (0-100)
diminish accept diminish round (1-99)
diminish longterm (1-99) (hours) visible/invisible/combatvisible

This command allows people to low their damage when fighting PCs to the selected
percentage. Using diminish 75, for instance, will make you do three quarters
damage. It has no echo to others, diminish 0 or diminish 100 will clear it as
will logging off for a while. Using the command by itself shows what you’re
currently set at. Diminish does not affect the amount of stagger you deal to
your opponents.

This allows players to represent their characters being weaker for any RP
reason, or pulling their punches/faking weakness.

An alternate syntax allows you to offer someone a diminishment pact, with
diminish offer (person) (number). If someone accepts this you will both be set
to be diminished to the preset amount. You can diminish yourself further if you
wish, but if you try and set your diminish higher it will cancel the pact for
both people. This will also be automatically canceled if the two people aren’t
in the same room. It is useful for people who want to engage in a coded fight,
but also want to draw it out.

Using diminish round (number) will diminish only your next source of damage and
will also echo to the room that you’ve done so. It is useful for people who want
to RP some IC event causing a temporary weakness in their fighting.

Using diminish longterm will allow you to debuff your character for several
hours, or even days or weeks. This will always echo to the room you are in and
if done with the visible toggle will also show in your look info, if done with
invisible won’t be seen, and if combatvisible will appear to others when you
enter a fight.

Syntax: display (form)

This command will display a number of fields including name, intro, who title,
and room title. It can be made to display the information for any form, but
will default to the character’s current form if no argument is used.

The diss command uses influence in order to damage another player.
Other players won’t see the echo of it being used.

Diss (name) character (amount) (reason)
This will penalize the target’s popularity.

Diss (name) appearance (amount) (reason)
This will give the target a hit to their apparent attractiveness based on
the influence spent.

Diss (name) faction (amount) (reason)
This will lose the target some respect within their faction/cult based on the
influence spent.

Diss (name) society (amount) (reason)
This will lose the target some respect within their society based on the
society influence spent.

Diss (name) roleplay (message)
This will send a private, delayed message to someone and is used for giving
RP feedback, it has no coded effect and requires no influence.

The max influence that can be spent at a time is 10000, you should not spam
the command to bypass this cap.

Syntax: Domain list
Can be used to show all domains.

Syntax: Domain info (name)
Show more info on a particular domain.

Syntax: Domain who
Show all characters currently in your domain as long as they have been there
for at least 5 minutes.

Syntax: Domain sanctified
List all rooms that have been sanctified to you.

Syntax: Domain describe

Syntax: Domain ambient
Enter an editor to add ambient messages to your domain, one per line.

Syntax: Domain personalambient (text)

Syntax: Download (Character/Property/MyRooms)

Copies data from your character, the property they’re in if they have
permission to edit it, or all their created myrooms into a text file with a
link to download it.

Syntax: drag (target)

Used to grab a hold of a helpless or tied up target to drag them with you as
you move around.

Syntax: Dread (degree) (thing) Or Dread (person) (degree) (thing)

This command allows a player to project things their character is dreading at
the current point in time. It will appear in the form of:
You feel (degree)ly negatively preoccupied with the prospect of (thing).

And any demonborn will see.
You (degree) want to manifest (person)’s dread of (thing).

This command represents the ability of those with demonic empathic abilities
to intuitively sense the things that will best illicit 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 they 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 New Haven.

The encounter will be launched through the lookfor system with the SR
being given a choice of two writing prompts.

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.

Be advised that encounters are not private affairs; they show up on
faction/cult/society report events for society members and are logged on
Haven’s website as well.

When used with a character name it will show just the things about that
character that have changed since the last time you targeted them with ‘look’

Syntax: Group create
(name)/rename/describe/list/info/join/banish/vote/leave/announce/roster

members to it, once in however leadership is determined democratically.

Syntax: Guards attack (person)
Syntax: Guards dismiss

This command allows someone to dismiss or command their allies and minions
to attack a specific target. One at a time will be dismissed.

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/werewolves to do a scene on the first time they accidentally kill
someone, as that’s a character defining moment.

Syntax: hangup
Used to end a phone conversation

Syntax: haunting list
haunting info <number>
haunting delete [confirm]]
haunting investigations
haunting addclue <cluetext>
Make Haunting

Hauntings are instances where a particular character is ‘haunting’ a
particular
borough, that is they are preying upon the people of that borough in some way.
They could be a vampire out drinking, a monster out preying on victims, a
criminal
out mugging people or any other similar venture.

Haunting a borough allows you to gain favor in that borough as you use your
haunting
to manipulate the population, making those who dislike you and your groups
more
afraid to live there, for example.

Hauntings can be investigated by other PCs and eventually ended if those
investigators
succeed in unmasking all the details.

‘hauntings list’ displays all active hauntings updated in the last month,
showing their location and whether you own them.
‘hauntings info <number>’ provides detailed information about a specific
haunting
from the list.
‘hauntings delete confirm’ ends your active haunting.
‘hauntings investigations’ shows who is currently investigating
your haunting and their progress.
‘hauntings addclue <clue text>’ adds a new clue to your haunting. Clues must
be
at least 120 characters long, and you can only add one clue per week. Adding
clues increases your favor in the borough and keeps your haunting active.

Use make haunting to create a haunting for a specific borough.

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.

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,

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.

Syntax: history

Puts you in a buffer where you can write your character’s history.

certain point.

A history should contain what you feel would be turned up in a typical
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.

Syntax: hold (object)
Used to hold an object in your hands.

Syntax: holdings (property type)

Without an argument, this command will list all properties owned by the
player. Only shops and houses are supported at the moment. The output is
similar to shop info and contains fields for property type, address amount
due, due date, and the name of the property. For the purposes of this
command, houses can be named similarly to shops with the house name (name)
command.

Syntax: Hostile (target)

As long as the target is someone you could attack, this command makes you
take a hostile stance. When in this stance if anybody in the room tries to
use text, call, csay, fsay, ssay, move, pin, execute, bind, untie, wound or
wake a
fight will start instead, additionally knockout punch will never actually
knock anybody out. You can use the command again to lower yourself out of
your hostile stance.

Syntax: hotspot

command
will infuse an item with some of their blood, granting them the effects of

Syntax: inflict (character) (condition)
Syntax: cure (character) (condition)

This command allows an SR to inflict a PC with one of several different
conditions. These will last for a certain amount of time or until cured with
the cure command.

SRs at trust 1 or below can only inflict conditions while running a room and

will last for a time roughly equal to 6 hours multiplied by the trust level of
the SR squared in play time.

Syntax: Influence

This command will show the amount of social, scheme and society influence
you currently have.

Influence is a metric which measures your general sway in the world.

Social Influence is gained by being more generally visible in the game
and the world, so being out in public more, visible on the wholist etc. It
can be gained, in particular, by hanging out and RPing in the shop currently
listed as the Peak Hours shop and by buying items from stores currently
listed as the Peak Hours store.

Social Influence can be used to praise or diss other character which
can boost or penalize their popularity, appearance, or standing in a
faction or cult.

Scheme influence is earned by setting one of your contacts to the
‘planning’ job and it is used to launch schemes as well as for creating
cults.

Society influence is earned differently depending on the society you
are in and only used for the society type of praise/diss to effect
the standing of others within that group.

In The Illusium Court it is primarily earned by earning political capital for
the society.
In The Hollow Conclave it is primarily earned by victimizing helpless
characters.
In The Iron Moon Lodge it is primarily earned by winning fights, contributing
items from slain NPCs and using ‘roughup’ on enemies.
In The Sons of Olympia it is primarily earned by using ‘roughup’ on enemies,
running schemes, and planning/attending city raids.
In The Last Vigil it is primarily earned by tormenting helpless supernatural
allies and enemies.

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 is gained just by regular roleplaying, but only 25, 000
personal karma can be used on any individual character.

Otherwise karma can be gained by SRing plots, encounters and scheme thwarts
and to a lesser degree by playing monster guests, and doing predatory patrols.

Syntax: change archetype (archetype) (modifier/none)/span

Karma returns to your new characters after deleting or rerolling slowly
over time.

Using karma buy focus Will give your character an additional focus point.
This costs 12 000 karma for the first point, and then 1.5x the previous
cost for every subsequent point.

Using karma buy origin (stat name) Will give your character an additional
origin stat power. This costs 10 000 karma.

Faction Leaders 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.

Cdrives can also increase the rate at which you earn karma.

Conversions:

XP/RPXP Cap:/span 25 per 1 karma spent.
XP: 50 per 1 karma spent.
RPXP: 10 per 1 karma spent.
Influence: 50 per 1 karma spent.

Syntax: modify [weapon] [modification]

Allows you to enhance a firearm with various modifications. Each
modification costs at least 250 dollars, with costs doubling for
each category of modification already present on the weapon.

You must be in an engineering bay to use this command.

Clip Modifications:
Quick release clip: If using ammoswitch would consume your attack instead it
debuffs damage by 30%.
Extended Clip: 50% chance to not consume special ammo when firing.
Tracer Clip: Increase target’s taken ranged damage from everyone else by 10%

Sight Modifications:
Laser Sight: Reduces the inner ranges at which the weapon becomes less
effective by 10.
Telescopic: Increases the weapon’s max range by 5.
Scope: Increases the outer ranges before the weapon becomes less effective by
10.
Reflex Sight: Increases the weapon’s sweet spot by 1 either side.

Structure Modifications:
Ported: Increased damage when not moving by 5.
Threaded: Increase range by 5, and expands ranges before the weapon becomes
less
effective by 5.
Lightweight: Doesn’t reduce move speed as much when carried.

Mechanism Modifications:
Heavy: Shots do increased damage, +5.
High Velocity: Shots apply increased stagger, +10.
Rapid Feeding: Shots do 15% less damage but apply 25% slow.

You can only have one modification from each category at a time. Adding a new
modification from the same category will replace the existing one for a cost.

hand.

Syntax: mtalk (message)
Used to communicate with your mentor or your mentoree OOCly.

Syntax: make attack or myattacks create

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

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.

MyHaven is the social media network that is predominantly used by New Haven
residents. Individuals can access this via the ‘myhaven’ command. Once
individuals are matched they can use the other characters handle instead of
phone number in text and photo commands.

Myhaven setup
-Enter an editor to setup the details of your myhaven profile, including your
handle which will be how others communicate with you. Profiles include a
picture but Eidolons instead get the option to enter free text into this
field.

MyHaven viewprofile (handle)
-View a particular individual’s profile.

MyHaven browse
-View a random profile you have not yet matched with. You can use browse new
to only see recent profiles.

MyHaven match (handle) friends date professional
-Match with another profile with any of up to three options, e.g. myhaven
match @handle friends or myhaven match @handle friends professional or myhaven
match @handle date friends professional. If both characters match they will be
informed and told which of the three types they both matched on.

MyHaven list
-List all your matches as well as if you are set to potentially chat with or
meet with them today.

MyHaven plus
-Signup for MyHaven plus for 12 dollars out of your paycheque each week. Plus
members can view the wealth and education level of others profiles as well as
their societies if they had those society symbols worn when they took their
profile picture.

Myhaven unmatch (handle)
-Undo a match with the specified handle. This will prevent you from being able
to re-match with this person later on.

MyHaven rematch (handle) friends/dating/professional
-Reset the types of matches you have with someone.

MyHaven suspend
-Prevent yourself from getting matches until you use the command again.

MyHaven chatwith (handle) (handle) (…)
-Toggle whether you would like to chat with one or more of your matches.

MyHaven meetwith (handle) (handle) (…)
-Toggle whether you would like to meet up with one or more of your matches.

MyHaven feedback
-See some feedback on one of your conversations.

The below commands require at least invitation level 4:

MyHaven camhack (handle)
-Hacks the camera of someone you’ve been chatting with, allowing you to see
them and their emotes. This will break if the individual turns their phone off
and back on again.

MyHaven telekinesis (handle) (message)
-Project telekinetic force through the phone of someone you have been chatting
with, allowing you to do an emit that can move around objects and people.

MyHaven hypnotise (handle) (hypnosis string)
-Used in the same way as the hypnotise command, this allows someone to
hypnotise someone they have been chatting with but costs $10 per level of
hypnotism that would be required for their chosen type.
e.g. Myhaven hypnotise @person instruction generosity logic guilt go meet the
nice fellow you are chatting with in a dark alley.

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 3 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.

When fired the gun emits a faint whine noise, but otherwise there’s no
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.

Syntax: Negtrain (stat/discipline)

Negtrain can now be used on both stats and disciplines. When used in
newbie school, it will return the full 100% of the rpexp or xp spent. When
used outside of creation, it will return 50% of the cost. This includes
any newbie exp given to you at the start.

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 carrying a neutralizer grenade, 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, and maximum damage from
melee and shapeshifter attacks is reduced. But things like supernatural
durability or toughness are not.
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.

Syntax: newbie (message)
Used to communicate OOCly with the rest of the mud, for getting and giving
help with the game.

viewed only by certain stats in the stats field. If stats are unset, the news
will be available to everyone.

Syntax: news delete
Removes the last piece of news you created.

Syntax: nofollow

This command removes all followers who are currently following you. Upon
using this command, any characters that were following you will stop doing so
immediately. There is a 5-second delay before you can issue another command
after using nofollow. This command can only be used by player characters, not
NPCs, and cannot be used if you have an active ethereal connection (etether >
0).

up. Members of the Iron Moon Lodge or Sons of Olympia societies gain
additional
society influence based on the victim’s power when roughing up non-allies.

Syntax: rpfight <target> [fight type]
offense <list of offensive stats, abilities, gear, environmental features etc)
defense <list of defensive stats, abilities, gear, environmental features etc)
vulnerability [type1] [type2] …
ruthless <level>
target <vulnerability name>
emote <your emote text>
consequences <type> <details>
winfight <capture | flee>
losefight <capture | flee | either>

The RPFight system is a type of conflict which is more heavily based on
roleplay and narrative than rules-based combat mechanics. In a RP fight
characters can choose from a wide list of abilities, stats, disciplines and
the like to use in the conflict and RP the fight as they wish with the goal
to successfully exploit an opponents, physical, strategic, psychological or
emotional vulnerabilities.

During a RPFight one character has momentum and the other is on the defense.
It’s expected during a RP fight for the person with momentum to write both
characters in order to facilitate dynamic conflict stories with the player of
the character without momentum just focusing on writing the parts the other
player reasonably couldn’t, like how their character reacts or what they say
in response to the conflict. But the character with momentum should never use
their emote to force consequences on the target or make character choices for
them. For example if a defender was using agility as a defensive stat it would
be reasonable to write about them flipping around and dodging until they are
caught and thrown into a wall. But wouldn’t be reasonable to write that they
were caught and had their arm broken, as that is a consequence.

STARTING A RPFIGHT:
To initiate an RP fight, use the ‘rpfight <target> [fight type]’ command.

Outside the Dreamworld:
* You must target another player character in the same room.
* The target must type ‘yes’ to accept the fight.
* You can optionally specify a fight type’ (see below). If omitted, it
defaults to a standard fight.

Inside the Dreamworld:
* You must target another player character participating in the same dream
instance (same dream_room’).
* You *must* specify a valid fight type’ for that dream location.
* The fight begins immediately upon initiation; no consent is needed.

FIGHT TYPES:
The ‘fight type’ determines which underlying character statistics contribute
to the base “power” level used in momentum calculations. In dream worlds the
fight types are custom to that world.

Non-Dream fight types: Standard, Arcane, Psychic, Martial Arts, Brawl,
Wrestle, Duel, Debate, Argument, Game.

SETUP PHASE:
Once a fight starts (or is accepted), both participants enter the setup phase.
You MUST complete these steps before the fight can proceed:

1. Set Offense: Use offense <list>. List what your character is using to
attack their opponent at the start of the fight, you can change this later as
the fight progresses. This can include *anything*: stats, abilities,
disciplines, gear, charms, relics, environmental factors, or room damage.
2. Set Defense: Use defense <list>. This works exactly like Set Offense, but
represents your Defenses.
3. Set Vulnerability: Use vulnerability <type>’. You *must* declare at least
one vulnerability. See a list of vulnerabilities by typing ‘vulnerability’ by
itself.

* You can add multiple vulnerabilities by listing their names (vulnerability
clumsy distracted proud’).
4. Set Ruthlessness (Optional): Use ruthless <level>’. This sets your
character’s approach, affecting their calculated power. Levels range from very
honorable’ (-3) to utterly ruthless’ (+4). Default is neutral’ (0). Typing
ruthless’ alone shows options and your current level.

Once *both* players have set offense, defense, and at least one vulnerability,
the fight moves to the first combat round.

COMBAT ROUNDS:
RPFights proceed in rounds, driven by Momentum. Only one character has
momentum at a time.

1. Momentum & Targeting:
* The character with momentum begins the round.
* They must choose a vulnerability to target on their opponent using target
<vulnerability name>’. Typing target’ alone lists valid vulnerability types.
* The system will tell you if your guess was successful (i.e., if the
opponent currently has that vulnerability).
* Your and your opponent’s defined Offense/Defense stats will be displayed
for context.

2. Aggressor Emote:
* After targeting, the character with momentum writes their attack emote
using mote <your emote text>. Describe your action, informed by the relevant
offense and defensive stats at play. You should write for both characters, but
do not write other people’s characters as doing more than using the defensive
stats they’ve listed to defend themselves.
* If the targeting was successful, the opponent’s vulnerability is
“exploited”: it’s removed from their list, and your exploit_count’ increases.
You’ll see a message confirming this.

3. Consequences & Reaction:
* Now it’s the defender’s (the one without momentum) turn to react.
* Add Consequences (Optional but Recommended): Use consequences <type>
<details>’ to describe the negative effects of the attack on you or the
environment. Multiple consequences can be added. These are *pending* and
applied *after* your reaction emote. Valid types:
* physinjury <desc>’: Adds a physical injury description.
* mysticinjury <desc>’: Adds a mystical/magical injury description.
* psychinjury <desc>’: Adds a psychic/psychological injury description.
* roomdamage <desc>’: Adds damage description to the room.
* loseitem <item name>’: Marks an item you carry/wear as lost (returns to
stage)
* damageitem <item name>’: Marks an item you carry/wear as damaged.
* giveitem <item name>’: Gives an item you carry/wear to the opponent.
* movefight <direction>’: Attempts to move the fight to an adjacent room,
potentially breaking doors/walls.
* (Dreamworld Only) reveal <desc name>’: Activates an inactive description.
* (Dreamworld Only) loseitem <gear/desc name>’: Deactivates dream gear or a
description.
* Add *Additional* Vulnerabilities (Optional): Use vulnerability <type>’ to
add *more* vulnerabilities to yourself. Taking on 2 or 3 *significantly*
increases your chance of gaining momentum next round.
* Reaction Emote: Use mote <your emote text>’ to describe your character’s
reaction to the attack and consequences.

4. Momentum Shift:
* After the defender’s emote, pending consequences are applied.
* The defender will also be assigned a new vulnerability.
* The system then determines if momentum shifts. Factors include:
* Relative power levels (based on fight type and ruthlessness).
* How many rounds the current attacker has held momentum.
* Critically: Whether the defender chose to take 2 or 3 *additional*
vulnerabilities during their turn. Taking 3 guarantees a shift; taking 2 gives
a high chance.
* Players are notified if momentum shifts or stays. The fight returns to
Step 1 (Targeting) with whoever now has momentum.

ENDING THE FIGHT:
Fights can end in several ways:

* Winning: After 5 rounds, if you have momentum AND you have exploited more
vulnerabilities than your opponent (or have higher power if tied), you can
attempt to end the fight.
* Use infight capture’ or infight flee’.
* You then emote your finishing move (mote <text>’).
* Losing / Responding to Win Attempt:
* If your opponent uses infight’, you *must* respond with losefight <capture
| flee | either>’.
* capture’: You accept being captured.
* flee’: You accept being forced to flee.
* either’: You accept whichever outcome (capture’ or flee’) the winner
initiated with infight’.
* After choosing, you emote your final reaction (mote <text>’).
* Voluntary Loss: At any time, you can concede using ‘losefight capture’ or
osefight flee’. The fight ends immediately.
* Error/Disconnect: If a player disconnects or an error occurs, the fight
ends automatically.

Outcomes:
* Capture: The winner captures the loser. Outside the dream, the loser is
typically stunned. In the dream, specific capture mechanics apply.
* Flee: The winner forces the loser to flee. Outside the dream, the loser is
moved home. In the dream, the loser may be moved or forced to wake up.

COURIER FIGHTS:
This is a specific RP fight type used in courier patrols. The target is
carrying a valuable item. The winner (attacker or defender) will obtain an
item which can be contributed for political capital.

DREAMWORLD DIFFERENCES SUMMARY:
* Initiation: Immediate, requires a valid type for the location.
* Fight Types & Power: Use dream-specific types and stats from dream
identities.
* Consequences: Use dream-specific consequences in dreamvictimize.

Syntax: trust (storyrunner) (negative/none/basic/moderate/advanced)

This command is used to set the trust levels between you and a Story Runner,
the default level is none, moving up to basic when in a room the SR is
running. More advanced levels give the SRs greater powers over your character
while negative level stops them being able to use even the most basic
commands on your character.

Syntax: try [num] <action> with <stat1>[,stat2,stat3…]

The ‘try’ command allows you to attempt a roll for an action using
a list of potential skills, abilities, gear, charms, relics and parts
of the environment. It notifies everyone in the room about your attempt
and prepares for a possible check.

For example, you can try picking the lock with dexterity, larceny, etc.

If you include a number at the start of the command, you limit how
many people can assist you. If you set it to 0 nobody will be able
to assist your roll.

In rooms with a StoryRunner they will get the option to set the challenge,
otherwise the challenge will be auto-set by an LLM.

If an action limiting clock is active in the room you are in you will only
be able to use this command once per round.

An SR can use calltry (person) (message) to prompt them to use the try command.

Syntax: vault install <faction>
vault changecode
vault remove
vault steal <keycode>

The vault command allows players to manage faction vaults in shops.

Shop owners can:
– Install a vault for a faction they belong to (generates a
random keycode).
– Change the vault’s keycode (generates a new random code).
– Remove an existing vault.

Any player can attempt to steal from a vault by providing the correct
keycode. If successful, they’ll receive a briefcase containing resources, but
the faction will be notified of the theft and the keycode will automatically
change.

Requirements:
– Must be in a shop to use any vault command.
– Must own the
shop to install, change code, or remove a vault.
– Can only install vaults for
factions you’re a member of.
– Stealing has a cooldown period (5 seconds if
successful, 10 seconds if failed).

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.

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 pay some life force and be flagged as a difficult prisoner. Typing
become difficult prisoner will also flag you this way. Difficult
prisoners slowly drain the life force from anyone roleplaying with them
while they are helpless and this flag lasts for three days.

Sublimate is an option that will become available after some time roleplaying
with a victim. This creates a prompt to the victim of how effectively they
have been tormented and will leave a subconscious instruction in the victim’s
mind which will make them automatically generate popularity for the chosen
faction when roleplaying.

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.

• Sublimate

Syntax: visible

Used to emerge from any stealth-like effects.

Syntax: Wake (person)

Rouse someone who’s been knocked unconscious.

Syntax: wear <item> (layer) (wear string)

body. ‘Wear all’ will attempt to wear everything in your inventory. You
can optionally specify the layer and wear string to use after the item.

Setting layer to 0 will ignore the layer and just wear the item in the next
available location.

Syntax: weather

Displays information about the current weather conditions and/or position of
the sun in the game world.

Syntax: where
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. A
character’s roomtitle, if applicable, will also be displayed 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
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 restaurant. 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, a person, or an animal as
appropriate.

Syntax: wherevis

Toggles your visibility status on the ‘where’ list. This command cycles
through three different states:

1. Visible: You appear normally on the where list with your full name.
2.
Anonymous: You appear on the where list but your identity is hidden.
3.
Invisible: You do not appear on the where list at all.

Each time you use the command, it moves to the next state in the cycle. The
command provides feedback about your current visibility status after each
toggle.

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.

Syntax: who

Shows all players currently connected to the game so long as they aren’t
whoinvis.

Who ranks and titles can be set using the title command. It is considered
OOC for what people place there.

Will make your character not seen when people type who.

Characters who are not whoinvis will gain slightly more
influence from all sources.

Syntax: width (number)
Used to set the number of characters wide that the game will display
before wrapping to a new line.

Syntax: wish (Thing to be wished for)

This command represents your character thinking that they want something to
happen, 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.

The closest demigod to the person who uses the command will hear the wish and
the direction of the person who made it if they aren’t in the same room,
although they won’t know who made it.

This ability can be copied from demigods with imbuement. Characters can use
wdesire as an alternate form of desire that also includes a wish.

Characters with mind reading will also be able to see wishes.

• Fate
• Imbue

Syntax: withdraw <amount>

Withdraw allows you to remove <amount> of money from your bank
account. You must be at the Sovereign Bank or at an ATM for this command to
work.

Example: withdraw 50
Thank you. You just withdrew 50 dollars.

Syntax: witness <emote with testimony in “quotes”>

The witness command serves as a special emote that allows players who are
designated witnesses to supernatural hauntings to provide testimony to
investigators. When used:

1. It functions as a normal emote, displaying your roleplay to the room
2. It
extracts any text enclosed in double quotes as your witness statement
3. If
you are flagged as a witness to an active haunting, and an investigator of
that same haunting is present in the room, your statement will be
automatically recorded
4. The investigator receives progress on their
investigation.

To become a witness you must either be targeted by a predator patrol by the
haunter in the haunted borough or there’s a small chance any time you sleep
in that borough in a room with a window.
