Examples:

> ^rasmusen^rasmussen
You tell Rasmussen, 'Hi there, how are you?'
> ^you^you doing^

influencing your character.

See also: DISCIPLINES
#
AFK
Usage: afk [away message]

#
ALIAS ALIASES
Usage: alias <alias name> <command>[;command2]
An alias is a single command used to represent one or more other commands.
The ALIAS command can be used to manipulate your character's aliases. Type
ALIAS alone to see a list of your currently defined aliases.
Type ALIAS <alias name> <command> to create a new alias. The alias name must
be one word. The command can be any string. Aliases may not be nested or
used recursively. Any command may be overridden by an alias (other than the
ALIAS command itself, of course).
> alias gbb get bread sack
> alias gac get all corpse
Type ALIAS <alias-name> to delete an alias that has already been defined.
> alias gbb
A semicolon (";") can be used to define multiple actions to be taken with
a single alias.
> alias eat get bread sack; eat bread
Note that the 'eat' contained within the eat alias is interpreted as the MUD's
internal eat command; aliases may not be nested or used recursively. The
variables $1, $2, ... $9 may be used to represent arguments given with
an alias.
Examples:
> alias killem kill $1; bash $2
> killem deer cow
Would attack a deer, followed by bashing a cow. Variables may be used
repeatedly and in any order:
> alias helpem assist $1; bash $2; bash $2
The special variable $* represents the entire input line after an alias:
> alias tr tell rasmussen $*
> tr hi there, how are you today?
You tell Rasmussen, 'hi there, how are you today?'
See also: ! ^
#
ALIGN
Usage: align <alignment>

At the time of this writing, this command has been disabled.

#
ANSI COLOR
Usage: color
If you have a color-capable terminal and wish to see useful color-coding of
information, use the COLOR command to turn color on or off.
Using color will slow down the speed at which you see messages VERY slightly.
The effect is more noticeable on slower connections. Even if you have color
turned on, non-colorized messages will not be slowed down at all.
Color codes you can use:
&1&&1 Red&0 &2&&2 Green&0 &3&&3 Yellow&0
&4&&4 Blue&0 &5&&5 Magenta&0 &6&&6 Cyan&0
&R&&R Red&0 &G&&G Green&0 &Y&&Y Yellow&0

#
BUILD BUILDING
Usage: build [building] [direction | god]
This command is used to create buildings using raw materials. If you build a
shrine or temple, you must specify a god to dedicate it to. Most other
buildings require a direction that they'll face. Religious buildings, due to
their nature, must have their entrances facing north. Build with no arguments
will return a list of buildings that you are currently able to build.
Until a building is completed, you can walk into and out of it freely, and you
can't build any additional rooms inside. Once finished, nobody who is not
loyal to your empire will be able to enter unescorted, and everyone must use the
actual entranceway(s).
You do not need to have all the raw materials present at the time of construction,
however, you will not be able to complete the building. If there are multiple people
building, it's advised that you drop the required resources, in case one player
runs out first.
Example:
> build shrine Allie
> build house southeast

#
BUG TYPO IDEA
Usage: bug <bug report>
idea <your new idea>
typo <that nasty typo>
For making useful suggestions and reporting problems to the immortals. Please use
these commands rather than simply telling an immortal, as often times immortals
may forget things, but these commands are logged for them.
Please give as much detail as possible. For example, don't say 'More uses for flint.'
Try to provide ideas for more uses for flint. This one's had us stumped for awhile now.
Examples:
> bug the entire game crashes when I type 'put bag in bag'
> idea Allow players to chop orchards for trees, or to plant trees in fields.
> typo In help "TYPO EXAMPLE": 'sence' should be spelled 'sense'
#
CATAPULT

this will likely cause the wrath of your captor to fall upon you.
Parent attribute: Strength
Parent discipline: Potence

#
SWAP
Usage: swap
EmpireMUD uses many different weapon types for activities, and most require
that they be in the wielding position (rather than just held). The swap
command switches the weapons in your hands so that you may quickly change
activities, even with a full inventory.
For an example, consider this: you are alternating between mining and chopping
trees to build more mines. You wield a pick and hold an axe, and "swap" them
as you change back and forth between activities.

#
TEACH
Usage: teach <discipline> <target>
This will teach a vampire a new discipline you possess, up to 1 star less than
you have. A discipline learned through teaching cannot be enhanced through the
exp command, only by being taught from another player. This still requires the
same quantity of exp as the exp command.
See also: DISCIPLINE, EXP, NOTEACH, RP
#
THROW
Usage: throw <object> <direction>
This is used to throw an object into a near-by room. This is used primarily
for burning down buildings, and WILL get you a (PIRATE) flag if you use it to
destroy other peoples' houses!
You MUST have an IC reason to attack buildings. "Because it was there." isn't
good enough.

#
TIE
Usage: tie <target>
Coming soon.
See also: SEW, STRUGGLE, UNTIE
#
TIME
Usage: time
Gives you the current game time. Your initial reaction to the output of this
command may be one of surprise, but you'll get used to it. You'll have to, at
any rate, since certain things in the game depend on this particular notion of
time.
See also: CLANS, WEATHER
#
TITLE
Usage: title [new title]
Sets the title people see on the WHO list. You can't use parentheses (the "("
and ")" characters) because those are reserved for flags. No argument will
clear your current title.
Do not abuse this command, if you do, it will be taken away from you. Titles
should remain as IC as much as possible, obviously absurd titles will be removed.

#
TRACK
Usage: track <target>

route to an animal or player. As with all good things in mud life, it has a chance

TRANSPORT

For changing your position. If you feel weary, it's probably a good idea to

be healthy to get mauled by a bear while dreaming of the cute girl/guy next door.
