| .:. MACE |
A Moment in Tyme has many kinds of weapons: daggers, swords, maces, spears, axes, flails, polearms, bows and more. To put yours to good use, you need fighting forms that suit it. Your skill in those forms matters, rather than a separate skill for the weapon itself. Syntax: > wield <weapon> > forms Wield readies a weapon for battle. The forms command lists the fighting forms you know. Example: > wield sword > forms Commands such as Slash and Thrust choose a form you know that fits the weapon in your hands. The weapon style you choose when you create your character decides which forms you begin with. See also: Forms, Combat, Wield |

| .:. MAGIC |
A Brief Summary of Tyme's Magic System In the Wheel of Time setting, 'magic' is not referred to as 'magic'. It is called 'channeling'. Summary The One Power comes from the True Source. It is a thing feared by many, and it can be channeled by only those who have the ability to learn, or who have the spark inborn. The One Power comes from the True Source, and is said to be the force that turns the Wheel of Time. It is divided into five Powers or Flows: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Spirit. The True Source is divided into two halves. Saidar, which is the female half of the True Source, and Saidin which is channeled by men. Until recently, the male half of the True Source was tainted by the Dark One however, and men who channel Saidin were destined to go mad, and eventually die. They are held responsible for the Breaking of the World, and for many generations, they have been feared, hunted, and sometimes loathed. Female channelers, on the other hand, face no such risk, though they do have other reasons to be cautious. Aes Sedai are female channelers, bound by certain Oaths, who are trained to wield the One Power. They are feared, and often respected, but also blamed for the Breaking of the World, simply because they too wield the One Power. Some women are born with the spark, the ability to channel, and will do so whether they wish it or not. Those who are found by the Aes Sedai in time are trained until they can channel safely, and then either allowed to leave, or remain and possibly one day become Aes Sedai. Those who are not found by Aes Sedai usually end up dying or burning themselves out. Those few with the spark who survive, however, are known as Wilders. They have learned some sort of rough control over the One Power on their own, but usually have a block that prevents them from channeling whenever they wish. Men are said to be stronger in Fire and Earth, while women are said to be stronger in Air and Water. They are equally strong in Spirit. See Also: Flowstrength, Saidin, Saidar, Wilder, Block Channeling in play Grasp takes hold of the Source, Weave shapes a weave you know, and Release lets the Source go. Spells explains the existing learning guidance; Inform describes individual weaves and their requirements. An explicit weave level from 1 to 4 selects an authored Endurance spend tier, not the weave's complexity. Unlevelled weaving keeps its grasp-derived spend. In combat, an accepted weave charges while you hold its flows; see Combat Channeling for timing and defensive choices. Drawing beyond your Endurance can exhaust you, burn you out or kill you. The risk applies to the cast that pays below zero, not just a later attempt. It is separate from a held weave backfiring.

| .:. MANA |
The terms MANA or MOVE no longer applies to the MUD. Endurance is now what represents your stamina on the MUD. Your Endurance is the code representation of your character's stamina. It determines how far they can walk, how long they can fight, and how much they can channel. When you run out of Endurance, you are exausted. See also: Stats, Score |

| .:. MARCH |
Break camp and set out for a place by name, and the road unrolls under your feet. March walks you toward your destination without typing every step, and anyone who has learned the skill can use it. Syntax: > march <room name> > march 2.<room name> Example: > march aringill > march 2.aringill March sets out toward the first room bearing that name. When several rooms share a name, a number in front chooses the second, the third and so on. Private rooms and god rooms are never destinations, and they do not count toward the numbering. If the place is not known, your mapreader tells you there is no such place. Once under way you march on your own until you arrive. If something blocks the way -- a closed door, water you cannot cross, a room you may not enter, or a fight -- you are told why, and the trip ends where you stand. See also: Coach, Traveling, Guilds |

| .:. Mark |
The official monetary system for the Wheel of Time according to Robert Jordan himself (remember, of course, that coins of the same denomination from different countries are often different weights and hence, different values): 10 copper pennies = one silver penny. 100 silver pennies = one silver mark. 10 silver marks = one silver crown. 10 silver crowns = one gold mark. 10 gold marks = one gold crown. A Moment in Tyme currently uses 'gold' as the monetary unit. This does not translate nicely to Wheel of Time terms and will be changed in the future. The command to see how much gold you have on hand is: gold Example: > gold You have 500 gold marks. See also: Bank, Shops, List |

Zone saves omit marked records. After saving and reboot/copyover, those prototypes are gone. Without a save, the memory-only mark is lost at reboot/copyover. Undelete before reboot/copyover and save again to keep the prototype on disk. Both commands require zone write permission and the edit lock, record history, and mark the zone unsaved. Delete succeeds even with references; its warnings list remaining resets/shops/incoming room exits in all zones. Marked vnums remain taken.

Attention! We have changed our timeline and are currently set at the very end of Winter's Heart, the ninth book in the series. Those who have not read this far in the books may find spoilers in the game. However, we are also a mirror world, breaking off after the events of Winter's Heart, to make our own story and to carve our own destiny. Things may not end as they did in the books. Channeling Mastery and Weapon Mastery are a THING OF THE PAST. There will be no more elitist log requirements, and no one will be picking through your RP to decide if you are worthy of a higher skill with the blade or with channeling. GLs will be in charge of deciding when their players are properly trained. Overall channeler strength is now determined by flowstrengths and talents. If there is a dispute, only then will Staff intervene. This new system is designed as a temporary measure until code combat is in. The Dragonsworn, Hunters, and Tinkers guilds have been returned. We hope that players will feel encouraged to join these guilds again. Each one had its own unique community, and we want to bring this feeling back to players who joined them for this reason. Please contact Rissa if you are interested in joining or even leading one of these guilds. See help timeline for more details about recent IC events. Combat is getting most of our attention now. Currently we're on forms. These are being written and tested by Jaiden, for the most part, though 70 forms were contributed by Ranulf. We are currently working on a number of automated quests that players can do by themselves to earn quest points, equipment, or to learn skills. We hope you will find these a fun way to pass the time when there is no RP to be had, and there are many other secrets being built into the game, if you choose to explore. Please contact the Building department if you have quest ideas. The newest versions of weapons and armor are done. We're holding off on importing it until combat is up, while we focus on getting other half-done and closely related things finished. Things we are working on: Ubermap: 59.2% Finished Turn-based Combat: 50% Finished Player Creation: 90% Finished Forms: 25% Finished Auto-Quests: 15% Finished Non-Combat Eq: 100% Finished EQ Proofreading/Flagging: 100% Finished Create/Edit Shops: 60% Finished Shop Errors Fixed: 95% Finished New OCS Policy: 100% Finished Restore Skill Percentages: 100% Finished Crafting Skill: 98% Finished Economy: Needs De-bugging If you're interested in coding, send us an email at tyme@tymemud.com, or mail Duren using the mudmail system.

mob gecho [string] - Prints the argument to all active players in the game mob zecho [string] - Prints the argument to all players in the same area as the - mob mob asound [string] - Prints the argument to all the rooms around the mobile mob junk [item] - Lets the mobile destroy an object in its inventory. it - can also destroy a worn object and it can destroy items - using all.xxxxx or just plain all of them mob echoaround [victim] [string] - Prints the message to everyone in the room - other than the mob and victim mob echoat [victim] [string] - Prints the message to only the victim mob mpecho [string] - Prints the message to the room at large mob mload [vnum] - Lets the mobile load another mobile. mob oload [vnum] [level] {R} - Lets the mobile load an object. The third - argument is option, if you omit it, it loads to mob's - inventory, specify 'R' to load to room, or 'W' to load to - mobile and then force it to wear it. mob purge {target} - Lets the mobile purge all objects and other NPCs in the - room, or purge a specified object or mob in the room. The - mobile cannot purge itself for safety reasons. mob goto [location] - Lets the mobile goto any location it wishes that is not - private. mob at [location] [commands] - Lets the mobile do a command at another location. mob transfer [target|'all'] [location] - Lets the mobile transfer people. The - 'all' argument transfers everyone in the current room to - the specified location mob gtransfer [victim] [location] - Lets the mobile transfer all chars in same - group as the victim. mob force [victim] [commands] - Lets the mobile force someone to do something. - Must be mortal level and the all argument only affects - those in the room with the mobile. mob gforce [victim] [commands] - Lets the mobile force a group something. Must - be mortal level. mob vforce [vnum] [commands] - Forces all mobiles of certain vnum to do - something (except mob calling this command) mob cast [spell] {target} - Lets the mobile cast spells -- Beware: this does - only crude checking on the target validity and does not - account for mana etc., so you should do all the necessary - checking in your mob program before issuing this cmd! mob store # [data] - Store <data> in register number #, where # is an integer - value from 0 to 9. Stored data may be accessed by using - $ codes. For example, if you store something in register - #0, you may access it by using $0 in your script. set [code] [value] - Stores value in code, where code may be either 'o' or 'p'. - a code of 'o' sets the $o variable to point at the object - of your choice. 'p' sets $p. This option is useful for - trigger types such as CMD, GREET, EXIT, etc, where no - target object is set. Scripts called by these triggers - will not have a valid $o or $p and therefore can not use - the object specific functions. This command allows you - to manually specify an object so you can then use - functions which require $o or $p. mob reward [player|room] [amount] - Reward player or entire room with - questpoints. mob rewardexp [player|room] [amount] - Reward player or entire room with exp. mob rememberperm [victim] [key] [value] - Permanently remember [key], optionally - with a [value], about [victim].

See 'help mob memory'. mob remember [victim] - Lets the mobile to remember a target. The target can be - referred to with $q and $Q codes in MOBprograms. See also - "mob forget". mob forget - Reverse of "mob remember". mob delay [seconds] - Sets a delay for MOBprogram execution. When the delay time - expires, the mobile is checked for a MObprogram with DELAY - trigger, and if one is found, it is executed. Delay is - counted in seconds. mob cancel - Reverse of "mob delay", deactivates the timer. mob pause [pulses] - *DEPRECATED* (Use 'halt' instead) - Pause execution of script. There are 10 pulses per second - therefore the delay is in 10ths of seconds. halt [puleses] - Pause execution of a script. Works the same as mob pause - on the front end, but the back end works completely - different. mob pause has issues with multiple scripts - pausing at the same time. 'halt' does not, and is the - preferred way to delay execution of a script at this time. mob call [vnum|name] [victim|'null'] [object1|'null'] [object2|'null'] - Lets the - mobile to call another MOBprogram withing a MOBprogram. - The called program runs at once; the victim is its $n - and the objects are its $o and $p. Calls nest at most 5 - deep. If it uses 'halt', the rest of it is queued and - the calling program carries on. mob otransfer [item name] [location] - Lets the mobile to transfer an object. - The object must be in the same room with the mobile. mob remove [victim] [object vnum|'all'] - Lets the mobile to strip an object or - all objects from the victim.

This specifies how much the modifier should be. use 0 if you're not modifying a stat. [location] - If the affect modifies stats, which stat do we modify? Specify 'none' if you don't need to modify a stat. [bitvector] - Similar to [type/skill], but this is the actual 'affect' type that is applied to the character. They are usually named similar to the type/skill above. mob setskill [victim] [skill] [+/-][level] - The +/- is optional. Specify + to increase a skill by a certain amount. - to decrease. Simply specify a number to set to a static value. |

| .:. MOB LOGIC |
Mob programs allow the use of 'if-else' statements to allow performing different actions based on whatever criteria you want. The possible keywords are: if [not] and [not] or [not] <block of code goes here> endif Mob programs also allow for a basic kind of loop, which iterates through each player in the room. The keyword to start this loop is the word 'for', and the word to terminate the loop is 'loop'. Example: for nod $n say How do you do, $N? loop The above example would nod to each player in the room, and then ask them how they are doing. If statement examples: To greet an Aiel differently than a Seafolk, you could do: if clan $n AL say Greetings, my Aiel friend! giggle endif if clan $n SF say Greetings, Seafolk! salute endif The above example shows a very simple set of independent logical events. If you don't want the mob to greet someone twice if they happened to be in both the Aiel and Seafolk guilds, you could do a dependent type if-else: if clan $n AL say Greetings, my Aiel friend! giggle elseif clan $n SF say Greetings, Seafolk! salute endif Notice the 'elseif' statement? This is different from doing an 'else' and 'if' in separate lines. If you had else and if on separate lines like so: if clan $n AL say Greetings, my Aiel friend! giggle else if clan $n SF say Greetings, Seafolk! salute endif endif This requires multiple 'levels' of if statements. In both cases the first if must be false before the second if can execute (and so on if there are more nested statements.) If someone is both Aiel and Seafolk, they will only be greeted as an Aiel. However, using 'elseif' as one statement rather than breaking it into separate statements prevents you from having to nest multiple levels of if statements, you could do as many checks as you wanted without having to keep nesting them further. Now lets say you wanted to have a special case for someone who is both aiel and seafolk: if clan $n AL and clan $n SF say Well aren't you unique? We don't see many Aiel/Seafolk around here. chuckle else if clan $n AL say Greetings, my Aiel friend! giggle endif # Notice the use of endif here instead of else. See below if clan $n SF say Greetings, Seafolk! salute endif endif You may notice that the nested if statement in the previous example contained two independent if statements. We could have used an 'else' statement and made it dependent, however in this particular case it was unnecessary because we know that the character can not be both Aiel and Seafolk, because if they were, they would have matched the first if-statement (The one which contains the 'and' condition). You can also use the 'not' keyword to negate the matching. For example: if not clan $n AL and not clan $n SF say You are not a member of either the SF or AL guild. shake endif The above example would only execute if they were -not- in the aiel guild, -and- they were not in the seafolk guild. New feature added July 10th: You may now specify another function as the right hand operand to an if-check. For instance, to see if a drink container is full, you could do: if objval1 $o >= objval0 $o On a drink container, objval0 stores the 'max' units of liquid a container may hold. objval1 stores how many units currently occupy that container. The above if-check checks to see if the number of units in the container is equal (or greater) than the max allowed. (Note: Technically we should be able to use == instead of >=, but it's safer to use >= in case an unforeseen bug allows a container to be filled beyond it's limit. For example, a container filled to 6 units with a -max- of 5 would show up as 'not full' if you used ==, where as >= would catch this anomaly) You don't have to specify the same function on each side either, you could also do: if ercount $n > trcount $n This would tell you if the number of emotes in the room for player $n is greater than the number of ticks spent in the room for the same player $n. Another example: if ercount $n > ercount $q This would compare the number of emotes in the current room between player $n and player $q.

| .:. MOB MEMORY |
MOB MEMORY An NPC can permanently remember things about a player: quest steps, lessons, favors, anything that must survive logouts and reboots. Each memory belongs to one NPC (by vnum) and one player. A memory is a key, optionally with a value: mob rememberperm $n paid - remember the key 'paid' mob rememberperm $n QUEST started - set the key QUEST to 'started' mob rememberperm $n QUEST done - replaces 'started' with 'done' if hasmemory $n QUEST - QUEST is set, to any value if not hasmemory $n QUEST - QUEST was never set if hasmemory $n QUEST done - QUEST is set to 'done' mob forgetperm $n QUEST - forget QUEST, whatever its value mob forgetperm $n QUEST done - forget it only if it is 'done' mob forgetperm $n all - forget everything about $n mob forgetperm all QUEST - forget QUEST for every player The key is the first word; the rest of the line is the value. Case does not matter. To take a player through several steps, keep the step in one key and write the steps in the order the player meets them: if not hasmemory $n QUEST ...offer the quest... mob rememberperm $n QUEST started elseif hasmemory $n QUEST started ...check their progress... mob rememberperm $n QUEST done elseif hasmemory $n QUEST done ...thank them again... endif 'mob remember' and 'mob forget' are different commands: they set the mob's target ($q), not a permanent memory. Check how long ago this NPC last remembered a key about that player: if memoryage $n <KEY> <op> <number> [unit] The age is whole seconds since the NPC last remembered the key on this port, whatever its value. Remembering it again restarts its clock. If the key has no memory, or the target is not a player, every comparison is false. Operators: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. Use a literal whole number, not a $ code. Without a unit, the number is seconds. Unit words ignore case; use singular or plural (add s): second(s) = 1 second minute(s) = 60 seconds hour(s) = 3600 seconds day(s) = 86400 seconds mudhour(s) = 75 seconds mudday(s) = 1800 seconds mudmonth(s) = 63000 seconds mudyear(s) = 1071000 seconds Example: if memoryage $n GRASP >= 1 mudmonth See also: MOB COMMANDS, MOB FUNCTIONS, MOB LOGIC, SEMANTIC |

Mob programs are scripts written to instruct NPCs (Mobs) on how to interact with players in an automated way. These scripts are event based, reacting to events in the MUD by the use of triggers. (See: 'help mob triggers') To specify that a script should be run when a certain event is triggered for a certain mob, you use the 'mprogadd' command to add a trigger to a mob. (See: 'help mprogadd') You can also just type 'mprogadd' with no arguments to see the syntax. To see a list of triggers that are available, see: 'help mob triggers' You can add existing scripts to any mob. One script can be re-used by many mobs if properly written. They key is to try and not hard code anything specific to one mob in a script. The scripts are identified by vnums, just as rooms, objects, and mobs are. And also just like you can have both a room and object by the same vnum, you can have a mob and a script/program by the same vnum. The mob program editor (mpedit) uses a different type of OnLine Creation (OLC) than rooms, objects, or mobiles. Instead of trapping you inside an inflexible menu, when you enter mpedit, you are given a command interpreter that is no different than the MUDs command interpreter aside from the fact that ithas different commands. (Once inside mpedit, type 'commands' for a list of mpedit specific commands.) While inside mpedit, your commands are first interpreted by mpedit and then if there is no match they are sent to the MUD main command interpreter. This allows you to continue carrying on a conversation with someone while still working inside mpedit. To write code for a mob program you will need to understand the language. Basically a MUD script can call regular MUD commands (say, emote, socials, etc) and there are also special 'mob commands' available. (See: 'help mob commands') Mob programs also have some logic flow control methods available so that you can have your mob program make decisions based on whatever criteria you like. For example the mob can decide to greet an aiel differently than a seafolk or greet higher ranked guild members differently than lower ranked ones. To see a tutorial on how this 'logic' works, see: 'help mob logic'. For a list of 'functions' available to make decisions on, see: 'help mop functions'. Inside the code, there are ways to refer to different 'actors'. For example, the player who triggered the script vs other players in the room vs the mob himself. To see a list of these 'act' codes, see: 'help mob act codes' Remember that each script can be used by more than one mob, and each mob can use multiple scripts and have multiple triggers. You can have triggers that greet people for entering a room, or triggers that stop people from leaving. You can have triggers that react when people say certain keywords, etc. |

| .:. MODIFIER |
With the code change to MikkiMUD 3.0, the old system of Levels and RPlevels has been removed. Now levels are gained through EXP, which you earn by Roleplaying with other players, by fighting, and as your skills improve with use. You do not gain EXP from Teaching. Score and Worth show your total EXP, with RP EXP tracked as part of it. RP EXP comes from roleplay; fighting and skill improvement add non-RP EXP. Both help you gain levels and the Training Sessions that come with them. Your RP EXP is already included in the total, not an extra amount to add. Only RP EXP counts toward RP contests and your guild's RP totals. Roleplay remains the main and fastest way to advance; combat adds to it. As you gain levels, your Endurance grows, and you receive Practices for every level you gain. You may use these Practices, listed on your Score as Training Sessions, to Train up your Stats. In addition, these new levels are infinite. If you RP enough, you can go on gaining levels forever. Though, with each additional level you gain, your required EXP to the next level increases, making every following level more and more difficult to attain. The amount of EXP you increase depends on your Level Modifier. When you gain Talents during creation, your Level Modifier increases. The higher it goes, the harder it will be to gain levels, as you progress to the higher levels. See also: Training, Stats, Score, Flows |

Modify reshapes the words of a thing you carry while you walk the World of Dreams: its aliases, its name, or the description others see when it lies in a room. You must be dreaming to use it, and an attempt can fail. Syntax: > modify <item> alias <new alias> > modify <item> name <new name> > modify <item> desc <new description> Example: > modify sword name a gleaming blade > modify cloak desc A grey cloak lies pooled on the ground. Alias adds words the item answers to, name changes how it is called, and desc changes how it looks at rest. The new wording must be visible: color codes alone will not do, and there is a limit to how many aliases one thing can carry. See also: Create, Dream, Dreaming, Talents |

| .:. MOMENT IN TYME |
-------------------The Wheel of Time------------------- A Moment in Tyme (or Tyme, or MiT) is a multiplayer roleplaying game set in the world of the Wheel of Time, a fantasy series written by Robert Jordan and finished by Brandon Sanderson. Players control characters who go about acting as they would in this world, working toward their own goals or those of their guilds. Our story follows the books up to the end of Winter's Heart. From there it drifts into a mirror reality, like an alternate version of the world where different things happen. See help timeline for how things stand now. If you have not read the series: That is perfectly fine. You may find some of the world-specific details a little challenging at first, but there is a wealth of information online to fill in the gaps. The Recall Room, where you begin, also points the way: the rooms upstairs are a good place to learn a bit about the setting, and the Visitor's Center is one room down. The Visitor Guides, the Immortals and friendly players will gladly answer questions about the setting. The newbie channel reaches them quickly. Syntax: > newbie <text> Example: > newbie Hello! Who are the Aes Sedai? See also: Newbie, Timeline, Roleplay, Channels, Caemlyn |

| .:. Money |
The official monetary system for the Wheel of Time according to Robert Jordan himself (remember, of course, that coins of the same denomination from different countries are often different weights and hence, different values): 10 copper pennies = one silver penny. 100 silver pennies = one silver mark. 10 silver marks = one silver crown. 10 silver crowns = one gold mark. 10 gold marks = one gold crown. A Moment in Tyme currently uses 'gold' as the monetary unit. This does not translate nicely to Wheel of Time terms and will be changed in the future. The command to see how much gold you have on hand is: gold Example: > gold You have 500 gold marks. See also: Bank, Shops, List |

By typing this command, a player can bring up A Moment in Tyme's MOTD, or Message of the Day. This is basically what you see each time you log into the game. This command is handy in case you want to read something in the MOTD, and don't feel like backscrolling to the log-in screen, or in case it has been updated while you are logged in.

These will take you in whichever direction you want, assuming you are standing and there is an exit that way from the room you are currently in. All of them can be abbreviated to: n, s, e, w, u, d, ne, nw, se, sw. The exits command spells out every exit, and the autoexit line shows them with those short forms.

| .:. MPEDIT |
The MPEDIT command allows you to edit code associated with mob programs. This code can then be attached to mobs to allow them to interact with players or their environment. Syntax : mpedit [vnum|name] - Edit the mob program with that vnum or name - This command will put you into the mpedit editor, - Where all commands are interpreted by mpedit. - See the listing below for valid commands. mpedit create [vnum] - Create a new mob program with vnum [vnum], named program-[vnum] - This command will put you into the mpedit editor. mpedit list - List all mobprogs in the game. mpedit list [zone] - Lists all mobprogs in the zone. mpedit save - Outside mpedit: saves every mobprog that has unsaved - changes. Inside mpedit: saves the mobprog you're - editing. Mobprogs are saved for the whole game, so - there is no port to give. Then, as after an OLC save, - you are asked for a git commit message for the files - written (see 'help olc save'). Commands available inside MPEDIT: commands - Display the available commands. create [vnum] - Create a new mob prog with vnum [vnum] code - Enter the code editor where you write the actual code. title [title] - Give the mobprog a title to make it easier to identify. name [name] - Give the mobprog a short unique name (see Names below). show - Show the current stats. (Same as just hitting enter). list - List all mobprogs in the game. list [zone] - List all mobprogs in the zone. save - Saves the program you're editing, for the whole game. functions - List all available functions for use in 'if' statements. funcs - Shorthand for 'functions' command above. Names: every mobprog has a short unique name, such as laundress-gives-pants: 1-32 characters, lower-case letters, digits and '-', starting with a letter. A new mobprog is named program-[vnum] until you give it another name. Wherever a command asks for a mobprog vnum (mpedit, mpdump, mprogadd, mob call) the name works too. The vnum stays the permanent ID, so renaming a mobprog never breaks the mobs that use it. A mobprog's code and title cannot contain the character ~. Saving a mobprog that has one is refused, with a message saying where. See also: MOBPROGRAMS, MOB FUNCTIONS, MOB COMMANDS, MOB TRIGGERS, MOB ACT CODES, MOB LOGIC |

| .:. MPROGADD |
Syntax: mprogadd [mob vnum] [mprog vnum|name] [trigger] [delay] [phrase] mprogdelete [mob vnum] [#mprog] For a list of triggers and their phrases, see 'help mob triggers' The mobprog can be given by its vnum or its name (see 'help mpedit'). To see the #mprog number of each mobprog on a mob, type: mproglist [mob vnum] Both commands change the mob's programs and save the mob's zone file straight away, so the change is kept for the whole game. A phrase can be up to 200 characters. You are then asked for a git commit message for the zone file, as after 'medit save' (see 'help olc save'). A delay of -1 indicates that the script triggers immediately upon the event. This means that whatever character update was occurring when the trigger fired is interrupted while the trigger executes. This is important because some triggers have the ability to prevent such updates from succeeding. For example, an EXIT trigger can prevent a player from leaving the room, but only if the trigger fires instantly (with a delay of -1). A delay of 0 indicates that the script is added to the list of scripts to run on the next update, and that we should 0 for 0 updates to run the script (So it will literally be run on the next mobile update, which occurs immediately after a character update in the code.) This means that a delay of 0 makes the trigger 'seem' instant, but it gives the character update code a chance to finish before executing the script. Otherwise, the delay indicates how long the script waits to run, in 1/10ths of a second. Therefore a delay of 10 would indicate a delay of 1 second.

| .:. MULTIGUILDS |
A guild is a group of characters who share a background or a purpose, and belonging to one is part of your character's life in the world. Some guilds, like the Aes Sedai, are very strict about their members' behavior and about who may join. Others, like Daes Dae'mar, the nobles' guild, are looser and gather guards, Lords, Magistrates and more under one name. Joining a Guild: First decide which guilds interest you. If you dream of being a Warder, an Asha'man, a Hornhunter, a damane or an Aes Sedai, look for the guild that fits. Read what each one asks of its applicants on the recruiting board. The board is out of character, so it is a place to read, not to roleplay. When you are ready, tell the game which guild you are seeking and start roleplaying with its members. Seeking the same guild a second time stops it. Usually the more popular and influential a guild is, the harder it is to join, with more sponsors and more time required. That is only a rule of thumb; many small guilds are very demanding and look for the best roleplayers. Syntax: > template list > template show <#> > seek <guild tag> Example: > template list Multiguilds are specific organizations that have grouped together based on common beliefs, goals, or heritage. For a list of multiguilds, both for Immortals as well as Mortals, type 'multiguild'. GLs can also use the 'multiguild' command to see all the options available to them for administration of their guild rosters, including changing the ranks, subranks, membership, and more. To see the seeking requirements and information of all our multiguilds, type 'template list' for the full index, then 'template show #' for the specific guild in which you are interested. To see who leads which guilds, type 'gllist'. See the Guild Immortal for any guilds without a mortal guildleader, or with any other questions about the multiguilds.
