= Quint Commands - Mage Only =
 
 
Carrying more quint than your avatar rating may allow others to sense your abundance of power via the awareness code.<br>
 
Awareness code is an auto-trigger.<br><br>
 
 
'''+sheet explanation''' = |Quintessence 6/15|Paradox 20/5|<br>
 
As defined by M20, When Quintessence and Paradox overlap, Paradox eats up Quintessence, making Paradox the stronger "force".<br>
 
Our code handles this. <br>
 
Quintessence pool is read as <Current>/<Max><br>
 
Paradox is read as <Max>/<Current><br>
 
This was also a compromise to our dice code since when you roll Paradox for backlash it rolls off the number AFTER the /.
 
It also makes sense in that on tradition paper character sheets, Quintessence and Paradox are scored in opposite direction
 
the wheel. <br><br>
 
 
'''Note: Game theme only allows Mages to Meditate to refill their Quintessence. The node in the realm is limited. Be prepared to find other ways to get Quintessense. Tass is more valuable.'''<br><br>
 
 
'''+spend/quint #''' ---> to spend quint<br><br>
 
 
'''+sense node''' ---> '''Required Prime 1'''. This is essentially meant to be a prime scan in an area<br>
 
where a node is. If you do not own the node you will only get a vague sense of it's size. If you OWN <br>
 
the node, you'll see your current/max quint the node can hold and how much tass it currently has. <br><br>
 
 
'''+quint/meditate''' ---> Meditate at a node to refill your quint TO your Avatar rating.<br><br>
 
 
'''tass bank''' --> displays your tass harvests (that haven't expired) (from either 'Sublimate Quint' or 'harvest tass' and tass you've been<bR>
 
given by other players. Also shows 'batch number', how many quint, expiration date, resonance, the form it takes and currently<br>
 
the original mage who harvested.<br><br>
 
-- Options: '''tass bank/exp''' Sorts your tass bank display by expiration date, <br>
 
'''tass bank/batch''' Sorts your tass bank by batch number (this should be default)<br>
 
''' Remember''' unless the tass comes in an edible form, you must make it into one. This is the only way it can be usable "on the fly"<br>
 
as you can't cast another rote while in the middle of a ritual. Example: turn coins into chocolate.<br><br>
 
 
'''harvest tass''' --> allows a mage to harvest tass from a node they own. Harvests a 1-month of tass<br>
 
based on the level of the node and sets a 3-month expiration date. (You are essentially harvesting the most recently <br>
 
solidified tass. If you have let your node sit unharvested and have more than 1-month's worth of tass,<br>
 
you will need to +request for staff to harvest the rest for you, and pro-rate the appropriate expiration dates.<br><br>
 
 
Node code will only allow a node to hold up to a 3-month pool of quint and tass. If you let your node sit
 
for 4 months before harvesting Tass, that 4th month is automatically lost. Tass refills on the 5th of every
 
month at noon game time. It is suggested you harvest your node regularly.<br><br>
 
 
'''sublimate quint''' --> allows a player with Prime 3+ to harvest an amount of quint (based on automated Arete roll).
 
A successful roll results in quint being harvest from the node as tass. It deducts quint from node, and adds an entry
 
onto player's 'tass bank' with a 3-month expiration date.<br>
 
If the roll fails, nothing happens, node is timestamped and you may try again in an hour (currently). <br>
 
If the roll botches, 3 Paradox is added to your Paradox Pool, and a timestamp is created on the node. Staff are alerted <br>
 
to the botch and will contact you for backlash if needed. Though generally 3 paradox will bleed off in 3 weeks.<br><br>
 
 
**'''transfer tass''' (To be written) --> Will allow players to transfer tass between themselves. Tass transfers<br>
 
with original expiration date. Please +request if you want to transfer tass to someone. Staff will take care of it manually untill the code is finished.
 
 
 
 
== New Nodes ==
 
This is still in development.<br><br>
 
 
Player nodes must be made in-character. <br>
 
This process starts with Prime 4 to 'Tap Wellspring' or created a periapt. Large amounts of tass and quint will be required. <br>
 
(an amount to be determined later). Once certain requirements have been met Prime 5 will be required to transform these<br>
 
gathered energies into a beating node.
 
 
Characters must prove they can protect and defend their node.
 
 
----
 
=== Locked Quint commands ===
 
 
'''+quint/refill <describe what you are doing icly for the rote>''' ---> Regain quint via '''Prime 3''' rote. May refill you above your Avatar rating, which isn't recommended.<br>
 
::You regain 1 quint per success auto-rolled. If you botch, you gain 3 paradox. Staff is notified and will handle your <br>
 
::backlash...when it is most inconvenient of course.<br>
 
 
'''+qchan <source>/<target>=<points|0>/<action>'''<br>
 
'''Requires Prime 3.''' This command allows a Mage to channel points of quintessence from <source> to <target>. <br>
 
If <points> are specified, only that amount of quint will be channeled. If 0 is specified, that means the Mage <br>
 
channels an amount of points equal to his/her Avatar rating times the number of successes from the roll to <br>
 
channel (Arete at diff. 6). The <action> is the emit used to perform the channeling, i.e., 'eats an apple', <br>
 
'prime rote', 'sings a song', etc and is used for role-playing the scene and alerting staff, only. (needs some recoding)<br>

Job Submission Commands

+xpsubmit <name:stat wanted>=<justification>
+xpsubmit <name: xp log>=<pastebin or controlc link>

  • should only be used for things that can't be set in the xp room
  • should also be used to submit logs for xp logs

+pitch <title>=<your pitch>

To pitch an idea or plot for a staff-ran plot. May be long, short, one-off.
Staff can run these for any players on the game...doesn't guarantee you'll

+bug <title>=Where you found the bug, what the bug is,etc.

To report code bugs. Not for typos

+request <title>=<message>

This drops a request into the general request bucket. Do no use unless it won't fit into another bucket.

IE: +build, +bug, +typo, +magesubmit, +dsubmit (demon - sphere closed), +mortalsubmit, +shiftersubmit (sphere closed), vampsubmit (sphere closed)etc. (Sphere Specific +jobs)

+prp <prp name>=<message> ---> Use to submit to a Player-ran-plot (prp) you want to run to staff for approval.

Tell us all the details in case staff have to get involved. Wanting some specific awards, include it.
PRP leaders must submit logs of each scene ran for the plot.

+magesubmit <your name: what>= <info here> ---> want to create a magickal item, do something with your powers,

this is how you send it to staff.

+mortalsubmit <your name: what>=<info here> ---> Sphere specific stuff for mortals and MORTAL+. There are plenty that mortals

can do to affect the game as a whole. On a supernatural level, a mage's ability to get a desired effect depends on what mortals
believe, or don't. Mortals are standard human, think about Real Mundane Life when you are wondering what to submit here.

+build <name: type>=<build info> ---> See Construction Help for more. This is where you submit to get a

business, home, a building, etc.

Job Settings

Anomaly Jobs is set up to respond to your screen width, if your client reports it. Otherwise jobs code reverts to default. To change: &JOBSWIDTH me=<your screen width>
Default is 80.

Anomaly Jobs also supports skins, which are display definitions that allow you to change the way that +jobs looks to the user.

return to top


+myjobs

+myjobs
+myjob <#>
+myjob/last <#>=<number of comments>
+myjob/add <#>=<comment>
+myjobs/catchup
+myjobs/nospam
+myjob/nospam <#>

This suite of commands allows the submitter to view and modify jobs that they have submitted to the system. When viewing a job that
you own, you can only see the comments that you have added, not comments added by others. +myjobs lists your jobs; you can read an
individual job or the last comment(s). You can also add additional comments to the job. Catching up jobs clears the new job indicator.
Nospam suppresses @mails for all jobs, or a single job.

Staff can give you access to jobs you could not otherwise see. In those instances, you can see all comments added, not just those you
have added.

+myjob/roll <job#>/<stats>=<diff> -- This works and posts your roll to your job. If multiple people ask for them to have access.

Only a Staffer may set a note to Staff and view it.

return to top

+rumor

Rumors are things that are heard about ICly. NPCs gossip. Maybe they heard something, or saw something. There is no removal function,
so be VERY careful as to what you say. It's permanent!

BEWARE: The rumor list is anonymous when viewed. However Staff do have a way of finding out who posted what. Staff can and will remove a rumor if it is inappropriate, in bad taste, or doesn't seem to be ICly backed. You can start an Ic rumor with no Ic justification, but be prepared for ICA=ICC if someone finds out what you're spreading around.

Getting a rumor removed: +request to work to quell or investigate a rumor. +dice rolls and logs may be required.
+rumor/add <name>=<rumor>
+rumor/list
+rumor/read <number>

+miscsheet --> shows your sheet for backgrounds and below
+attrsheet --> shows just the attributes portion of your sheet
+health --> shows just the health/damage portion of your sheet

There at some point might be multiple pages to the +Sheet. Those will be documented when they come into existence.

return to top

+shift

This system requires that you be setup with the multidescer first! +desc/setup

Bygones must have Shapechanger.

Mages must have Life 4. Mages are automatically set to a default 'human' form.

Staff must set up your forms for you. Please +request with what forms you'd like.
Your attribute score may be altered to better represent the form you are in.
Even if you have a default Strength of 3, that doesn't make sense for a mouse, or generally any creature smaller than a human.

return to top

+forms Use to show a list of forms you may use.
+shift <form> Use this command to shift to <form>. Note that you must also have a description set up in the global multidescer
(see: multidescer below) with the same name as <form>, so that your description will change when you change form.

Please see Multidescer for help. This is important to ensure your name and alias are stored correctly across all your forms.

+shout

Usage: +shout <message>
This command issues to the room you are in, and all rooms around you, your message.

return to top

+spend (for Willpower, Gnosis and Quint)

+spend/willpower #=<reason>

Willpower should replenish automatically 1 point every morning to
represent a good night's rest. For any of the following reasons use:
+will/gain 1=<reason>

  • When your mage fulfills some element of his Nature, he gets a point or two of Willpower.
The events, however, must be played out – they can’t conveniently occur offstage.
  • The Destiny Background allows you to regain spent Willpower.
  • If a character achieves some special success – rescuing a stranger, saving a sacred grove,
stomping a vampire into immortal ashes – the rush of victory can restore a point or two of Willpower.

Staff is trusting putting you on the honor system, don't abuse it

+spend/quint # --->Click here for command to regain quint
+spend/gnosis #

return to top

+staff

+staff -> Shows you connected Staffer
+staff/all -> Shows a list of all Staffers

return to top

+sweep

+sweep --> Sends all unconnected players in the room home.

+evict <person>/<IC reason> ---> Consider this an IC action when used. The reason must reflect this.

  • This will rehome a player to a barracks on the grid, then teleport them there. The player being rehomed
will be @mailed about the event letting them know the person who evicted them, where they were evicted
from, and that since the date of the eviction they have had IC shelter.
  • IF the evictee desires to react to this in a way that is anything but peaceful, contact staff before acting.
  • Only a room's owner can evict a non-owner, and the owner must be in the same room the evictee has set
as home.
  • A keyholder can attempt to evict someone by contacting staff, though just because you have a key
doesn't mean you have enough leverage to say who lives there and doesn't.

return to top

+Vacation

COMMAND: +vacation <date>

You must use a three character abbreviation for the day and month,
AND the day you enter MUST match the date you enter.

sure its reset before you log off again.

Refer to news Vacation for further policy
info and contact staff with any questions.

+vote / XP

For the sake of transparency, votes are handled as follows and are subject to change in the future.
Though you can always submit logs for additional XP.
You have unlimited votes per week to give, but can only vote for the same person twice in 24 hours.
Each vote received is 0.15xp.
And each hour you are logged on and IC 0.04xp is awarded. In other words, being idle doesn't pay.

+xp ---> Shows how much xp you have and whom you have voted for.
+vote <person> ---> Gives a vote to a specific player
+xp/vote/all ---> Gives a vote to everyone in the room.

+ROLL / +DICE

Rolls a number of dice against a given difficulty.
All of these commands should also alias with +roll

Commands:
+myjob/roll <job#>/<stats>=<diff> -- This rolls, show you the roll, and posts your roll to your job. If multiple people ask for them to have access.

+dice <what>=<difficulty -- Ex: +dice strength+brawl=6 -- this shows to everyone in the room
Output: <Dice> Mike rolls Strength+Brawl vs 6 and obtains 3 net success(es).

+dice/v <what>=<difficulty>
-- same as +dice above but also shows the roll of each die.
Output:

<Dice> Mike rolls Willpower vs 8 and obtains 4 net success(es).
Dice rolled:3 4 7 <8> <9> <10> <10>.

+dice/p <player list>=<what>=<difficulty> -- Example: +dice/p Sally=Intelligence+computer=4
Output:

To: Sally
<Dice> Mike rolls Intelligence+Computer vs 4 and obtains 4 net success(es).

+dice/p/v <player list>=<what>=<difficulty> -- Example: +dice/p/v Jenny=Charisma+etiquette=6
Output:

To: Jenny
<Dice> Sally rolls Charisma+Etiquette vs 6 and obtains 2 net success(es).<br?
Dice rolled: 2 3 4 <6> <8>.


Other Examples:

+dice 6=joe's dex+dodge -- contested roll, rolling against the stats of an opponent (in the same room) as your difficulty
+dice 6=6
+dice per+firearms=joe's dexterity+dodge
+dice dex+melee+-1=5

Last... you can set the &VERIFY attribute on your self. The content of that attribute will be @pemitted to you as the first word of a dice roll,
preventing other players from spoofing. We hope no one is spoofing rolls, but if you encounter it, log and let staff know. All rolls are transmitted
to staff at the time they are made. Rolls can be verified.

The +Dice code is aliased with +action and +roll for your conveniences.
The rest of the syntax remains the same.

LANGUAGE

The language code allows for the use of multiple languages on the grid, ICly. It refers to any languages which are set on your character sheet under the language category.

If someone speaks in a language your character does not know it shall emit this fact. If your character has a rudimentary knowledge of the language in question you might get lucky and understand bits and pieces of the conversation.

say ---> This speaks in the default language of English, everyone will be able to understand this.
+say ---> This speaks in your character set base language.
+say/<Language> --> This speaks in any language listed that you have on your sheet so you may switch between languages "on the fly".
+lang <Language> --> This sets your base language and allows you to use the +say code.

Levels in each language allow for better speaking of said language.
So if you have Greek level 3 you'll speak and understand most things as the code will show you most of what they say. Where if you have Greek 5 you have a perfect understanding of it's grammer and structure.

1 abysmal (you probably at least know a few words and recognize the language) 2 native speaker with no education in language beyond grade school. 3 you took the lang in college. 4 you have a degree in the lang. 5 you are a professor of the lang

LINEAGE

This is a generational game. Lineage is a huge theme element in Shifter, and to a lesser extent in Mage. Read more about the Lineage system here: Lineage System. Per the referenced page, failure to register offspring with the lineage system will result in "bad things"(tm) happening.

To submit a lineage job:
+lineage <submitting parent> -- will open a lineage job for you.
+myjob/add <job#>=<Name of Parent 2> - will add a comment to the job with the name of potential parent 2.
+myjob/roll <job#>/1=6 -- will make your initial roll to the job.

LOGS

Logs are used for a variety of things such as: justification of lores, player vs player disputes, harrassement issues, etc.
Logs may also be submitted for additional xp. We highly suggest the use of Pastebin or ControlC. These are
third-party websites that allows you to save logs. In the case of Pastebin and set them "unlisted" so they won't show in websearches. Use at your own risk,
but we've never had issues with it. Pastebin has gotten strict on the profanity filters. If it only allows your paste to be set private because of this, use ControlC instead.

Using Pastebin Or ControlC allows means you only have to submit the url for the log to staff.

Please submit logs for Xp spends, XP noms, if you have any sort of issue of harassments, any issue with another player. We can't help you if you don't submit logs.

+xpsubmit <name:stat wanted>=<justification>
+xpsubmit <name: xp log>=<pastebin link>

-should only be used for things that can't be set in the xp room
-should also be used to submit logs for xp logs

Please set the same alias for all +forms.

Please do not set up entire alternate +finger identities unless staff approved and noted.

UMBRAL COMMANDS

Code is written, will not be available for use at the start of game as you are not on earth

In all cases, the proper stats (if required) are rolled and on a success, the change occurs.
There is no check for a botch in either of these commands.

+pen ---> Moves a character into and out of the Penumbra from either Real world or the umbra.
If in the umbra, used once will return you to the Penumbra. Used again will return you to the real world.

+umbra ---> Should move you from real world into the Umbra, or from penumbra into the Umbra.

  • may be modified at a later date*

+shadowstep ---> Allow Demons with Lore of Realms to transfer directly into the Shroud aka Shadowlands reality.

+time - show you the IC time, OOC and descript of moon phase.
+moon - shows you a the moon as a graphic.
+weather - gives you current weather desc, future forecast, and seasonal averages by month for temp, rainfall and snowfall.

Moon Note: While the shifter sphere is closed, you will still find reference for Rage rolls in the moon desc.
The phase, vs difficulties have been house ruled since RL moon phases are not equal in length.

For ease of handling timezone, we are using the avg dates of time change in the U.S. This means the +IC time at least should
change on March 11 (CDT, "spring forward") and Nov 4 (CST, "fall back"). Staff will monitor to make sure it works.

return to top

+timestop

+timestop ---> Use this command to issue a timestop. The rules for issuing a timestop are outlined elsewhere in this help file.
The command creates an object, teleports players at the scene into it and then proceeds to 'lockdown' the object, preventing
ingress and egress. A notice is sent to Staff that a timestop was issued. The command also posts a notification to +911.

+resume ---> Use this command to clear a timestop. Only Staff can clear a timestop. The command will alert Staff that the timestop has been completed and by whom.

Foci

This is how you set and see for Focus Instruments.

To see your current foci: +foci / +instruments-- If you see nothing you are either not a mage, or haven't followed the steps below. Will also display the longer version on your choosen Paradigm (if it is displayed on your sheet as abbreviations), will also display the practice(s) you've choosen to use from what your paradigm(s) allow. For more info and charts Paradigms, Practices, Instruments


You are required to pick 7 tools. One of these is your "primary" tool. It is the one you learned magick with first, and is the one you rely on the most. This is, by default, a personalized Focus that is tied to your Affinity Sphere, granting you a -1 to your arete rolls involving that sphere ONLY. It is also the Focus you will drop last. You may choose to make your Primary Focus "unique" as well, in which case it will grant a -2 to rolls involving your Affinity Sphere ONLY

Aside from your Primary Focus, in M20 foci are no longer tied to spheres.

Instrument SETUP

+instruments -- will show you all your paradigm information when completed

If you need help while going through this process, please ask Staff.

To start setting up for Foci type: +foci/setup

To see your foci template: +foci or +instruments -- and at any time while going through these steps to see your work

To define/describe your Foci: +foci/desc <primary or a number from 1-6>=<desc> -- do for each of the 7 foci (primary,1,2,3,4,5,6)

Example: +instrument/desc primary=bamboo flute handcarved as I awoke
Example: +instrument/desc primary=Mentor Sasha's tea pot
Example: +instrument/desc 1=artwork
Example: +instrument/desc 3=Fashion
Example: +instrument/desc 6=Household Tools

To set your primary Focus as Unique: +foci/unique --Sets your primary instrument as personalized and Unique, make sure the desc fits


A Mage needs to pick at least 1 paradigm, 1 practice, and seven instruments(outlined above).

To set your practice(s): +foci/practice <blah>
Please see Practices for a chart that lists which Paradigms are associated with which practices.

Example: +foci/practice Craftwork
Example: +foci/practice Alchemy, Chaos Magick, Craftwork, Crazy Wisdom, Faith


To drop a focus: Please submit a +magereq. (Example: +magereg <your name>:dropping foci=I'd like to drop my 6th focus, artwork.)

+foci/drop <player>=#
+foci/undrop <player>=# (for error correcting)
+foci/sdesc <player>=#

+random

Somedays you need something interesting. Some of these events may be such things as decreasing or removing a flaw,
gaining a merit, etc. Contrary to the way the emit is worded, it isn't a free for all. You can only do any of these type of randoms -ONCE-. Abuse of the system will result in those randoms being removed entirely. Staff isn't going to just take off a flaw or reduce it, or hand you a merit like a cookie. LOGS ARE EXPECTED AND MUST BE SUBMITTED.
BE SURE TO MENTION IT IS TO COMPLETE A RANDOM.

CAVEAT: You are expected to complete the random you draw. Don't just keep using the commands to see what is in the list. Don't ruin it for other players. Also, contact staff if you think of a random event to add in. These can include other spheres that are closed to PCs.

+random Displays a random event. Which random was drawn, date and by whom is logged and maybe be used for Ic
news fodder, plots, etc by staff when we too need something interesting.

Staff Commands: +random/list Lists randoms. +random/log Lists the Random Log. +random/clear Clears the log (WIZ). +random/add * Adds a random (WIZ). +random/del * Deletes a random (WIZ).

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.

+Risk


There is no risk system currently in use on this game. We find +risk systems are often abused to avoid consequences of IC actions, or that IC reactions are often exaggerated beyond what is reasonable because of the assumed risk level.

You will never be forced to role-play out something you don't want to rp. However, that means staff must decide the outcome. Death is never completely unavoidable. There are plenty of merits and such to mitigate death, or delay it.

Some scenes and consequences may take you away from public grid play. Staff will make sure scenes are provided for you, or at least give you a daily update, until your IC condition/situation releases you back to the grid. Remember, the game runs on 1:1 time, and some situations simply take longer to resolve than others. There is no good way to skip time forward when it doesn't make sense to do so for the whole grid.

Awareness Code

We have implemented to help make awareness a more viable aspect of the game. This is specifically, for
those with 'Awareness', 'Kenning', Or the gifts 'Sense Magic' or 'Sense The Unnatural'.
The code will automatically make rolls at the difficulty of the effect: The rolls have a threshold of 2.
That is, they need to get more than 2 successes to see anything. Those who are merely benefiting from
'Sense Magic' will not benefit from any more than 4 successes: Any more than that are ignored.

Awareness code is set by staff when a permanent or long-wearing rote is cast on an object, room or player. The difficulty of the autoroll (9 - highest power level used) +1 if personal effect, +1 if static magic (e.g. disciplines, gifts..), -1 if area-effect.

Examples: Casting a Calming Rote (Mind 3) on an office(area of effect) = diff 9-3(mind 3)-1(aoe)= 5

A Correspondence 3 ward cast on yourself = diff 9 - 3(corr 3) + 1(personal effect) = 7

Rolled success equates to receiving the following information:
3 successes: that they detect magic: If it is particularly unusual magic, it might be mentioned as being so here.

4 successes. As for 3, but give the resonance of the effect. This is almost certainly the resonance of the mage who cast
it, or some general form of resonance based on the race if it's not a mage, or even a very mild resonance based on the emotion of the sorcerer/psychic casting it.

5 successes: As for 4, but mention the source of the effect: From PlayerA, for example.

6 successes: As for 5, although the source might get more precise: If It's an item Sol is carrying, for example,
it might become 'from something on Sol's person'. Also, state the target - who it affects.

7+ successes: As for 6, but add in a rough - very rough - idea of what it might be for. Mental defense, sensory, whatever.

This code also handles a certain level of "passive" awareness. If someone is carrying more quint than they should,
their resonance might be sensed. Failed/Botched roll emit are sometimes interesting. Also the stronger your resonance,
the more likely it is to be sensed.

Event code

events                                 List events, sorted by number.
events/date                            List events, sorted by date.
events/mine                            Events I signed up for, sorted by date.
events/st <name>                       Events <name> is running, can be 'me'.
event <#> View an event. event/signup <#> Sign up for an event. event/unsignup <#> Remove yourself from an event. aliases: /leave, /resign

Signing up for an event with max participants (see /limit, below) may put you on
a waitlist. People on a waitlist may still be able to participate, depending on
the event runner. Regardless, if a cancelation or removal puts you on the active
list, you will be notified by @mail.

event/create <name>=<date and time>/<genre>/<summary>

Example format for <date and time>: Mon Jun 19 19:00:00 2021
Time zone defaults to &default.timezone on the Events Code Object.
For 2:00 pm EST, /create with '14:00:00' then /timezone with 'EST'. Don't include time zone with /create or /date;
It doesn't work right.

event/date <#>=<date and time> Change date/time of an event. event/timezone <#>=<zone> Change time zone of an event. event/name <#>=<name> Change name of an event. event/genre <#>=<genre> Change genre of an event. event/sum <#>=<description> Change description of an event. event/addsum <#>/<title>=<desc> Add a new titled summary to the event. event/addsum <#>/<title>= Remove a titled summary from the event.
event/limit <#>=<max participants> How many people can the event run. (Overflow players can still sign up.) event/limit <#>= Remove the limit of max participants. event/remove <#>=<player> Remove participant from an event. event/cancel <#> Cancel an event. event/mail <#>=<text> Mail all participants.
event/announce <description> will broadcast <description> to the defined

Events Announcement channel. While originally designed for spontaneous scenes,
this can also be used to announce that a scheduled event will start soon.

Roster

We have a roster of premade characters that players are welcome to play. Some of these characters require an application, some don't.

+roster -- gives a list of available characters

+roster/info <line number> -- Will give you the basic descriptive information about the character. Fullname, Application required?, race, gender, age (apparent), birthday, eyes, hair, height, weight, vocation, ooc-info, personality, description, family, and relationships, and wiki. Most of this information (and that in +relationships) is available on the character's wiki page.

(TBW) +relationships <line number> -- Will display the characters publicly known relationships.

+secrets -- These are not viewable till the character is assigned to a player. Some roster characters will have secrets. Some secrets are meant to help create plots. Some may be fatal if followed through, but that is the point. Some might just be a little chaotic, or funny, or just a little flavor to the character. There may also be secret relationships.

See Roster Characters for more info.
