& +finger
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+finger
SYNTAX: +finger <name>
This command shows you various bits of information about and will also
accept "me" as an argument. +finger is generally a command that notes OOC
information and should not be considered IC unless game policy
specifically says otherwise.
See Also '+finger-setup' for configuration options.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +finger-setup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finger Setup

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +glance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+glance

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +info
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+info
SYNTAX: +info Show you the info that you have set on yourself.
+info <player> Shows you info set on other characters.
+info allows you to set information on yourself that would be useful to
other players without them having them page you for it. This is an
/excellent/ way to tell other players about pertinent merits, flaws, or
other things that /would/ affect the way that they might interact with you,
yet would not be appropriate to place in your @desc.
Players should make a brief mention like "+info set" at the end of their
@desc, so that others may know to look.
See Also: +info-setup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +info-setup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+info setup
To set info on yourself, set it as an attribute &INFO-<category>. General
info can be seen by anyone. More specific info is set in the same way,
except you use who should be able to see it instead of 'general'. Possible
things to use are: race, factions, clans, tribes, and traditions.:
&info-general me=A wandering bum, usually seen in the dirtier parts of
the streets.
&info-camarilla me=This is the Gangrel Primogen, and as such, is a very
noted member of the Camarilla...
&info-garou me=This character has a Pure Breed 4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +knock
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+knock
SYNTAX: +knock <exit name or alias>
This command will allow you to 'knock' on any door in the MUSH. The players
on the other side of the door will get an emit telling them that someone is
knocking on the door.
NOTE: Using this command on the street grid on exits like South <S> is very
silly and people will think that you are dumb if you do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& mp
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mp - multipaging:
SYNTAX: mp <names>=<message> - Allows multipaging to a list of players
mp <message> - Allows multipaging to the last group of
players multipaged.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& mutter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mutter
SYNTAX: mutter <target>=<string>
mutter/tt <target>=<string>
mutter/place <place number>=<string>
The first form of this command behaves identically to "whisper", except
that the other players in the room will see that you have said something.
A regular message, or part of a pose enclosed in "quotes", will have some
of its words or groups of words replaced by "..." If you enclose a phrase
with <angle brackets>, it will not be replaced. Poses without "quotes"
will simply show that you have muttered something. <target> can be any
player in the same room as you.
The second form of this command behaves like the first, except that instead
of the entire room hearing the mutter, only people at a place will do so.
If you are at a place, those at your place will hear the mutter;if you are
not, and the target is, those at that place will hear the mutter. If
neither of you are at a place, an error message will be generated.
The final version of this command allows everyone at a place to hear the
message in full, while the rest of the room hears the mutter.
This code was written by Deirdre@AmberMUSH.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& mutter2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mutter examples:
mutter Finndo=Can you loan me thirty Pence? I'm broke!
Meg mutters to Finndo, "Can... loan... thirty... broke!"
mutter Bleys=:frowns. "What a <cheapskate> he is!" She shrugs.
Meg frowns. She mutters to Bleys, "What... cheapskate..." She shrugs.
mutter/place 1=:chuckles. "Thank you very much."
Meg chuckles. She mutters to the long, mahogany bar, "Thank you..."
mutter/tt Deirdre=Where did you hide those Trumps?
At the bar, Meg mutters to Deirdre, "Where... Trumps?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update <#>/<Option>=<text> See '+help places-options'
PLACES are virtual places to sit, stand or occupy. You remain in the same
room, but join a group of people within that room who may or may not be
having a quiet conversation only with others placed with them.
For installation help, type '+help places-config'.
This code originally provided courtesy of Deirdre, Meg, and Osric of
AmberMUSH. It has since been editted by Angel@Heaven
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& places-config
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLACES configuration:
SYNTAX: Configure <num> places
Unconfigure places
Notes: A null fixed message means vacancies can be moved freely to and from
the place. This does not make sense for things like couches and rugs. Set
it to something like "That makes no sense." if you are using such a place.
(O)Join and (O)depart messages take like this: %%N. All Join and Depart
messages are appended with the place name.
Functions: WHICHPLACE(<loc num>,<dbnum>) gives the number of a place where
<dbnum> is.
ATPLACE(<loc num>,<place num>) gives you a list of things at a
place.
PLACEINFO(<loc num>,<place num>,<option>) gives the value of
<option> at place.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& plook
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
plook
SYNTAX: plook
plook <target>
The first form gives you a list of places, in a three column format.
The second form takes the number of the place as an argument, and gives the

information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& @register
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYNTAX: @register <RL Name>=<email>=<alts>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +selfboot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+selfboot
SYNTAX: +selfboot
This command allows you to boot 'ghost' connections that are usually caused
by dropped connections to your ISP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +shout
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+shout
SYNTAX: +shout <message>
This command will allow you to shout a message so that is is heard in
adjacent rooms. Codewise, it propogates a given message through all non-
audible exits leading from the room of the enactor.
NOTE: People in adjacent rooms will not know who is shouting, but will be
told that 'A man', 'A woman', or 'Someone" is shouting.
Overuse of this command can be very annoying to others.
If you want to 'sound proof' an exit, to prevent a shout from being heard
through a particular exit, add &NO_SHOUT <exit name>=1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +staff
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+staff
SYNTAX: +staff
This command shows all connected staff who are not set DARK, along with
their alias, staff position, duty status, and how long they have been idle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +staff/all
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+staff/all
SYNTAX: +staff/all
This command shows all staff along with their alias, staff position, and if
they are connected or not. For offline or DARK staff, it displays when they
were last connected.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +timestamp
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+timestamp
SYNTAX: +timestamp
Allows a player to read their current timestamps.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +timestop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+timestop
SYNTAX: +timestop
+resume
+timestop create a timestop object and drops it in the room where the
timestop was requested. Staff is notified. The object itself will appear
in the location as: TIMESTOP: <player> <timestamp> <location>
+resume removes _all_ timestops from the room in which it is used.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +uptime
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+uptime
SYNTAX: +uptime
This command displays basic runtime statistics for the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +view
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYNTAX: +view List all objects in the room with views set.
+view here Lists all viewable items in the room.
+view <object> Lists all views on a particular object.
+view <object>/<view> Reads a view.
Setting viewable objects using this code allows for greater detail to be
coded into a room without requiring huge, spammy descriptions. +view may
also be set on characters.
Be sure to add "+view items" to your @descs so people know to look at them.
See Also: '+help +view-setup'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +view-setup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting views:
Set an attribute on the object thus:
&view-<name of view> <object>=<text>
An example: &view-painting here=You see a painting hanging on the walls,
that seems to be done in an Impressionist tone...
To erase a view, simply leave the <text> area blank.
You may also set messages to be displayed to other players when a view is
looked at. This is just like setting a view, but the attribute is called
&oview.
An example. &oview-painting here=takes a look at the painting hanging on
the wall.
Mary and Fred are in a room and Mary does a "+view here/painting"
Fred would see 'Mary takes a look at the painting hanging on the wall.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +warn
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+warn
SYNTAX: +warn <player>
Issues an anonymous OOC warning of impending danger to the named player.
This is only a generic warning -- players are encouraged to page or @pemit
more specific messages, but this will suffice in a pinch. Do not use this
command flippantly. Give players ample time to make up their minds. This is
to be used BEFORE a timestop occurs. The command DOES display a message to
staff when used.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +3who
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3who
SYNTAX: +3who
Displays +who in a 3 column format.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +lwho
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+lwho
SYNTAX: +lwho
This commands information as that displayed by +who, but only shows the
players in the same room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
& +who
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+who
SYNTAX: +who
+who <string>
This command displays Player, Gender, Alias, Idletime, Location, dbref of
location if findable and set JUMP_OK, and if the player is also staff.
The second version of this command accepts an argument and allow you to see
