Gameplay
The order command utilizes society NPCs for the purposes of research. Society members with higher rank will be able to give additional types of commands, and will also get their results more quickly.
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: order file
Cost: 0 influence
This returns basic information about members within your society, as well as whatever they have written in their file themselves. Leaders can see classified information and file notes.
Syntax: order investigate
Cost: 100 influence
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 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: order research
Cost: 500 influence
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, their sexual reputation, their connections, and even a little about their habits.
Once the results of a background check has 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: order tail
